By Sarah Welch and Alicia Rockmore Shifting wardrobes from spring and summer to fall and winter clothes is the perfect opportunity to streamline. As a general rule of thumb, we wear a very small percentage of the clothes we have in our closets, some people put the figure as low as 10-20%. So as you swap out flimsy fabrics for thicker ones, take a long, hard look at the clothes you have and ask yourself: “Do I actually wear this?” In addition to clothes, what else is lurking in your closets that you never use? Have each family member go through their closets (and toy chests) too and put all those unused, rarely worn items aside in a few big boxes. Once everyone has gone through all of their closets and drawers and straightened and organized them, it’s time to part with what’s inside those boxes. A great way to do that and earn a little bit of extra money for holiday spending: host a tag sale. Read on for a few tips on how to organize a successful one.

Why is that that the only time we think to get prepared is when disaster is breathing down our necks?

So often we hear about hurricanes, fires or other disasters and think, ‘I should really put a few things together in case of an emergency,’ but never actually get around to doing anything about it. It’s a universal problem driven by two things. First, for many of us, it’s difficult to be sure of what is needed or how to put it together. And second, the thought of something bad happening to our loved ones is often too difficult to consider. These are fears worth overcoming.
