Resources Mentioned in Today’s Episode:
Once Upon a Child- A national chain store that allows you to bag up your baby and kids stuff and they will go through it and offer you cash on the spot for items they are interested in.
Plato’s Closet- This is the same kind of store as Once Upon a Child except that they take tween and teen clothing/accessories and pay you cash up front for it!
Play It Again Sports- Will pay you cash for used sports equipment or consign it for you.
Toy Organization:
Kim uses these to keep all her son’s toys organized in his room. You could label these with the day of the week and put a variety of toys in each one or divide the toys by themes (such as Cars, Pirates, Super Heros, Legos, etc). Kim labels these with a picture of what goes inside to help her son clean up after himself.
