This Crazy Life

This weekend is KidsMarket!!! For anyone who doesn't know what this means I will try and explain a little bit. KidsMarket is a local children's consignment sale that happens here in my town twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. People from all around our area price their gently used children's clothes, toys, equipment, and other kid paraphernalia garage sale style and then bring it to sell. Part of the proceeds from the sale go to local charities and the rest goes back to the seller. Let me just say that this is an awesome organization! This is my third year participating, as both a volunteer and a contributor and I love it. Okay, yes it is stressful b/c I procrastinate and don't get my stuff ready until the week before, but it is worth it! Not only does it give me a way to sell some of my kid's stuff, but I can also buy them "new" stuff. I am not a big fan of sitting at a garage sale all day haggling with people over the price of my stuff. This is why KidsMarket is such a great solution. I can price my things and there are no negotiations. Today, I dropped off all of my kid's clothes and tomorrow is the volunteer and contributors sale. The public sale starts on Sat. from 8 - 2:30 and then the 50% off sale runs from 3 - 5. If you live in the area, you should really check it out. If you want any more info, please hop on over to their website and check out all of the details!
