My sister in law called last Saturday to tell me they had their once a year garage sale in her neighborhood, its in an HOA so they only allow it once a year. Its a very upscale neighborhood and I got so many nice things.

I got 2 swings they were 5 dollars each, normally 100. I got a solid wood bassinet for 50 that retails for 200. We already got carseats but I got a really nice one for 15 and my sister in law gave me one, now grandma has carseats and swings.

I also orderd a hot pink double stroller for me she already got a big stroller mine is a double umbrella stroller.

I also got a wooden high chair for 7 at the garage sale.

Congrats, Nana!!!!! You must be over the MOOOOON!!!!!!

Yard sales are the way to go these days. When my friend Stephanie was expecting Brady, she needed a high chair. I was pet sitting for my cousin who lives in a very exclusive section of West Hartford and happen to drive by one. Saw a whole bunch of baby stuff including an expensive high chair that was very gently used. Brady is now 2 and she uses it everyday. Only cost $20!!

Baby stuff is so outrageously expensive. Ya gotta know where to look and what to look for.

I am so happy for you!!!

Update, my daughter is buying a home. She was looking into getting a bigger place and I suggested with the housing market as it is it would be cheaper to buy. She found a cute house that is 1100 sq feet with nice laminate floors and granite counters. It has a nice floor plan and now I can get all this baby stuff out of my house, I have been storing it for her since her apartment is too small.

Her pregnancy is going good, she is tiny except her big tummy. Next ultrasound is on Monday, my other daughter is home from college so she will get to go.

Congratulations to her on the new house! Such fun! And you get to help her move, by emptying out all her and the baby stuff from your place, so accomplishing two goals at once!
