Day 276

Since our little announcement, I have been thinking about the one thing we need to get before baby arrives: infant car seat. When Aaron outgrew the infant car seat, I knew that I would need to purchase another car seat if we had another child because of the six year life span before they are expired. I sold the other seat a year and a half ago so someone else could get some use out of it. Granted there were four babies who used it, my two and two of my friends' little ones.

Enter the kids sale and that little gift certificate I won. I had noticed this car seat when I dropped off my items and was completely impressed at how unused it look, but I was a little bummed on the price. It was more than my gift certificate, so I thought I would wait until the half price day and take a chance on it being there. Lucky for me, I am a consignor so I was able to shop the half price sale before the general public and yeah for me, the car seat was still there. My sweet sister-in-law knew I wanted that seat, so she got to the sale before me and put it on hold until I could purchase it. I love the colors and since we will not be finding out the sex of the baby, it's perfect.

Day 275

Somehow I was the one consignor of The Kids Sale to win the $50 gift certificate. There were many chances to have your name in the drawing and I only had one and yet, some child picked out my name. I'm not sure what I will spend the gift certificate on as my boys have all they need right now, but I'm sure I will use it.

Day 274

After all of the appointments and driving around I have done today, this was my last errand before I could go home and crash. All my items are tagged, clean and ready to be put out to sell. The Kids Sale is in a building that was once a sports goods store that has gone bankrupt this past year. It's a huge space and so nice to have more room this time to move around and find where the items are to be placed. I hope my items sell otherwise some will be coming home and others will be donated to Eastside Baby Corner.

Day 268

Next weekend another consignment sale is coming up, so I thought I would go through the stash of clothing, shoes, bags and baby items that will not be needed anymore. The drop off day is next Thursday, but I want to get a head start on the tagging and getting the clothes ready, so here is the beginning of the pile.
