Editing and donating is a daunting, often emotional, process for adults—so it’s no surprise that kids struggle with it, too. If you’ve found yourself loading up donations under the cover of darkness, hiding the “donate” bin or fabricating elaborate stories when an item that’s left your home is suddenly missed (“visiting family, I think!”), we hear you! And we’re here to help. These strategies have served our clients—and our own kids—well in the past and we hope they’ll ease the process for your family, too.

Letting go of unused items in your life is an amazing way to create a home that supports your unique lifestyle and goals.
