The Fall season is a time of transitions with Back-To-School, End of Summer, and the Holidays not as far away as you think! It's time to clear out and make room for all the good things to come. 

 Begin by purging your closet.  Anything you haven't worn this season can be donated. The same goes in the kid's rooms.  Whatever has not been played with or worn in the last year can be donated to someone who would love to have that toy or item of clothing. And the more you clear out and donate now the more you can write off as a charitable donation come tax time. It's a win/win/win. Use my favorite tool itsdeductibleonline.com, this is an online donation tracker that is amazing!

If you are cleaning out your shed, basement or garage there is a place for all those old electronics and chemicals. Check your county or township Web site for a list of where and how to dispose of those items.
