Spring Cleaning Made Easy

Re-organization advice and a local children's resale event make this the week to get your home back in order.

Spring is a time of new beginnings. The trees and flowers are blooming. The warmer air is beginning to funnel up from the South and those clothes your kids wore last summer are most likely too small for another year of use. The same can be said for many of the toys they've likely outgrown.

As you begin your spring cleaning projects around the house this week, www.SavvyHinsdale.com and Union Church Preschool are here to aid in your re-organization.

Now through Friday gently used maternity and children's clothes, toys and baby equipment including swings, bouncers, strollers, and more can be dropped off at Union Church for their annual resale - Petite Repeat. This event, which funds scholarships for students whose families are suffering from difficult financial times, will take place from 8 to 11 a.m. this Saturday, April 21. Donations will be accepted throughout the week, so make life easy on yourself by loading up all your give aways and dropping them off. And if you're a new parent or know someone who's expecting, this is also a great opportunity to pick up some much needed clothes and toys for highly discounted prices.
