Downsizing a family home and move at the same time can be overwhelming, stressful.
Many decisions have to be made but taking your time can result in
 good decisions about what to sell, keep, donate, give to friends, sell or discard.

It's easier to sort through your items before you put your
home on the market, rather than rushing through the process.

Giving gifts to your family is a very rewarding experience and
and you can benefit by seeing them enjoyed.  Why wait.
