Spring cleaning season has passed so now it is time to have the guilt work so much that this Grandma gets into her closets and drawers. But, now I have found a way to make the chore less tedious.
Instead of throwing away those high heels too worn to give away, I put old high heels in a shopping bag for when my granddaughter visited. She was more interested and wanted to see my new shoes. I asked a long (we never say old) friend about her granddaughters. We agreed that the granddaughters would rather try on our good shoes than discarded castaways, unless they don’t look old and worn.
But, it is different with costume jewelry and makeup. When I no longer wear makeup or it is near empty, I put it in a shopping bag for a granddaughter visit. Same with costume jewelry. These are are treasure trove for grandchildren.
How is this interest enhanced? By Disney of course. Disney princesses abound and Disney sells the ability to dress like a princess. The sizes go into baby sizes, so parents of our grandchildren can dress their “dolls.”
Then go up sizes to even underwear, socks, and accessories in addition to clothes.
And, don’t forget the shoes and sandals!
And, if you don’t think there is children’s Disney Princess makeup, think again.
Finally, the Disney Princess selection of jewelry is extensive.
We Grandmas feed the Disney Princess frenzy and spend a small fortune doing so. Just amortize the cost over many years when Grandma Possessions become more interesting.
Collect your old heels, costume jewelry and makeup, and do not discard what you no longer use. Be prepared. The granddaughters will soon outgrow Disney and will play with yours with
Joy,
Mema
