Mom to mom sales

Today we hit one of the big Mom to Mom local sales

this was after doing an inventory of her closet

and realizing that we do not have any clothes that fit!

 

So on the left we have clothes that won't fit in a while

and on the right are clothes that will last a few more months

as you can see left > right

hence the need to buy more clothes :)

 

This is the second time we hit this sale

the last time was before baby Z was born 

Here she is with the loot! and Miki checking it out

 

Not bad for 2.5 hours of shopping...

25 outfits + 7 sleepers + 4 pants + 6 headbands

all in really great shape, some still with their tags on

enough to get us thru the summer months and all for

drum roll....$87

That's less than $2.50 a piece...such a good deal!

 

Looking forward to having fun garage sailing this summer :)

Baby stuff...

Ekkkkk! only 2 weeks to go...

We were thrown a baby shower last week at work

got a lot of nice cute baby stuff

 

  below is Miki stalking the balloons :)

all the presents...lots of necessities :) and more clothes!!! :D

Then of course it was time to order everything else we had left on our list

so spent an evening ordering everything and will be getting everything

 at the front door by next week :)

We love shopping online! Can't wait for all the stuff to arrive :)

   

Will post pics of the Nursery soon too :)

Shopping for the baby

We have been busy shopping (aka ordering online

takes a lot less time and effort)...we luv it!

We got the crib...

 Here is Miki assisting Grant with putting the crib together...

 

 TADA...all done! the nursery is coming together as well

will post more pics next time

As you can imagine we have been opening up a lot of boxes...

 

yaaay our cloth diapers are here...that's right we have decided to go with cloth diapers

just love all the colors!

 More baby stuff...

 Check out the cute diaper pail :)

 

 More sheets, burp cloths, swaddlers, rocker, changing pad etc...

 We are all set just a few more things on our list :)

Summer garage sailing

I have discovered garage sailing I am loving it!

Today the weather was really nice and sunny

every neighborhood seemed to be having garage sales

Grant had to travel for work so 

I spent all morning going from one garage sale to another :)

And here is my loot!

 Found some more cute baby stuff

we might just end up with more clothes than we actually need

but at least it won't be bad considering we didn't invest a lot to begin with :)

Even found some stuff for the baby room and a puzzle :)

It was crazy to see how many people go garage sailing

and I can see how it can get addictive

but at least you get your fill of shopping, get your exercise and

don't spend a lot!

Love Mom to Mom sales!

So here is our update on the Mom to Mom sale we attended this morning

it was crazy! never seen or been to anything like it

there were 200 tables full of baby/kids clothes and other items

with all the moms selling them from 50cents upto $3 to $4 a piece

Check out all the stuff we came home with...

 Most of it was gently used some still had their tags on them!

And I love to haggle so I managed to get stuff for even less :)

 So as you can see we are pretty nicely stocked with

all the essential baby clothing :) at least with all the NB ones

and what not for the 0-3month range

we decided not to go any bigger than 12 mths since next year we can go and buy

some of the bigger sizes we will need then

so the exciting part...

that's a total of 74 pieces that probably would have retailed for

 a total of $400 easily!

Wondering how much we got all this stuff for :)

$73!!! isn't that a great deal!

Oh and then we also found a

1 Boppy pillow + 2 slipcovers that would retail for $52

we paid $13!

Oh and there was sooo much more we could have bought

we kept going till we ran out of energy :)

can't wait to do this again next year

such a nice way to save a ton

 on stuff your kid will grow out of really quick
