Is anyone else feeling stir crazy? My kids have been out of school for weeks now. Temperatures are unbearable and so we have all been locked inside liked caged animals (well, my kids do act like animals). To make matters worse, I am a bit of a germaphobe and a rumor about the stomach virus has kept us away from all public venues. I will literally do anything to avoid the stomach virus! Not only are my kids in the house all day, but so is all of their junk. My living room is full of Barbies, Littlest Pet Shop plastic pieces, American Girls, and half eaten Squishies (thanks to our dog).
I tried to have a practical Christmas this year and get the children more of what they “need” and less junk, but as you and I both know, kids are not super thrilled with underwear and pajamas for Christmas. Santa brought a careful mix of clothing and you guessed it….junk. Now I am left with the task of putting everything away. The toy bins are FULL at our house and so are our closets. Thanks to all Christmas loot, our house is bursting at the seams. So as usual in January, I have the urge to purge.
The urge to purge is a real compulsion to get rid of almost anything that is not a necessity. It feels so good to purge, and purging is addictive. No lie, I walk around my house at night with a trash bag looking for anything that I can possibly get rid of (think Barbie shoes). I even throw away artwork from school. I mean who doesn’t appreciate the teachers sending home every little piece of paper your children have ever touched, but at night….the trash bag and the urge to purge are simply too much to resist. Besides, my kids are no Picasso. My rule of thumb is if it has handprint, it avoids the circular file, but everything else has to GO.
My urge to purge is so irresistible to me that I thank my lucky stars for Bagsy. Bagsy makes purging my gently used kids clothes truly effortless. I simply order a clean out kit for FREE and fill it full of clothes. I drop my bags off at my local post office and mail it back to Bagsy for FREE. Bagsy sells my clothes for me and I keep 50% of the sales price. I have even started keeping a Bagsy consignment bag in each child’s closet. At bath time, I sort through clothes and add items to the Bagsy bag. When it gets full, I send it back to Bagsy and order another bag.
Since starting to consign with Bagsy, I have cashed out $624.15. That is real money that I can use to fund my kids 529s, put towards sending my oldest to summer camp, get a pedicure, or take a trip. With Bagsy, the urge to purge truly pays off. Even my husband is thrilled. I have become so addicted to selling through Bagsy that I have also started shopping on Bagsy too.
Bagsy reminds me of those LUVS commercials. You know the ones, “Motherhood is tough, but that first kid makes you an expert. And experts are more likely to choose Luvs.” Bagsy makes me feel like a real pro. The best part is my kids look just as cute as ever. Bagsy not only has consignment but also carries new overstock from some of the best custom children’s trunk show brands. So if you are like me and have the January urge to purge, try consigning with Bagsy. You won't be sorry. You can order a FREE consignment kit HERE.
