Last weekend Brenda's mom (Brenda of Secret Agent Josephine) moved into a new house and rather than hold an estate sale on the way out of her former neighborhood, she held one at her new home.

As Brenda tells it, the most pleasant surprise was the whole family was able to meet her mom's new neighbors and they her.

Some thoughts:

  • If you are feeling like you and your kids need to meet your neighbors because you have just moved in, or have been antisocial until now, this is a great idea.
  • With economic times being tough, garage sales are awesome for parents and kids alike to make some extra cash ahead of the Holiday Season.
  • A garage sale is a great way to teach your kids the value of recycling (the old fashioned way)
  • As the weather turns chilly your opportunities to hold a garage sale diminish, so do it now.
