HERES HOW IT WORKS:
At home, sort and fold CLEAN clothes (clothes you wouldn't mind putting on your family to go out in public) by size into boxes or bags. THEN, when you get to the swap, sort the clothes by size onto marked tables. Next comes the fun part. Go to the tables with the size clothes you are looking for, and take what you need. Free of charge. No strings attached. There are no minimums or maximums.

Some families are looking to clean out the clothes they no longer use, and they bring boxes of clothes in, sometimes leaving with just one or two "special" things. Other families are really in need of clothes, and come with little or nothing, but leave with bags of clothes. Others bring what they took last season, for another family to take this time, and bring home another seasons worth themselves to start the process again.

PLEASE NOTE: For safety reasons. All children must be supervised.

Have a Safe Summer
Written by my friend Anita Glenn

Summer time has finally arrived. Like Christmas, summer is one of the favorite periods of the year for children. School is out so they can sleep late and play for long hours. As parents, we take precautions to ensure the safety of our children. Here are a few quick tips to keep your children safe during the summer time. For the beaming sunrays, apply sunblock to your little ones during outdoor play. Make sure that an adult accompanies your children around the pool area. One good investment is the purchase of an ID bracelet with engravings of your child's allergies. When packing lunch, make sure you add an ample amount of water or fruit juice to keep them hydrated. A first aid kit will come in handy for scrapes and bruises. Keep emergency contact numbers on the refridgerator and for kids who are able to stay home by themselves, please remember to activate your home security alarm. If you don't have an alarm system, you should look into it by going to this site, inhomesecurity. When your child is safe your mind is at ease. Apply these helpful safety tips for the long summer ahead.

Do you have a frustrating time when shopping for affordable life insurance? Do you feel like you don't know what to buy or look for? I feel like this every time I comparative shop for insurance. I try and look for the best deals available. It is hard for me to know what is the best option for my family, so I spend hours online looking for good coverage.

While online chatting with my classmate in Australia, she informed me about Real insurance. So I checked out their site and I was amazed at the range of coverage they were offering. Rachel, my classmate, was telling me how she and her husband received income insurance protection from Real insurance. I was amazed, she could not say enough positive things about them. While her husband was injured and off work they were paid the benefits they needed.

It's also an important issue with me to have accident and illness insurance. I never know when one of the kids or I will need it. After reviewing their coverage policy I'm sold and will contact them! They can insure me for as little as $2.77 a week, from $50,000 through 500,000. It's a great deal, so if your looking for coverage, visit their web site or give them a call.
