Summer always seems to fly by, and before we know it, we're packing away swimsuits, beach gear, and backyard essentials. The tricky part? Deciding what’s worth keeping and what’s ready to go. Too often, people toss something in September only to regret it when the warm weather rolls around again. A little strategy goes a long way in saving time, money, and stress from one season to the next.
Read MoreNo time like the end of the summer to start thinking ahead and getting ready for back-to-school. I know. I know. Do you really need to think about this in August? Well, in much of the US, our kids are going back to school in August! So yes, now is the time to think about cleaning up the pool toys, storing the beach towels, and getting rid of those stretched out/worn out bathing suits. It’s also a good time to take inventory of your sunscreen and bug spray, flip flops and other summer necessities and take advantage of those end-of-summer sales to stock up on items for next year. [Just keep in mind the “one-in, one-out” rule, so if you buy three new beach towels, be sure to donate three old ones!]
