Consignment and Thrift Stores

My husband and I waited later in life to get married, me in my late 20s him his late 30s. We decided to have children just a few years after being married in order to watch them grow up while still young enough to keep up with them. We on purpose-accidentally conceived our second child when our first was just 6 months old. Honestly, we thought it might take longer to conceive. No oops though, I LOVE being pregnant and have a wonderful husband who turned into a fabulous father. All that being said, of course I want what's best for my children but with two little ones we have to shop wisely. We share baby clothes with friends and family and I buy most of their toys and clothes second hand. My boys don't know the difference! I rarely pay full price for ANYTHING. For my mommy friends nearby I've compiled a list of places to shop and consign. Anyone outside our area with great local options, please feel free to share and I'll post to this page. Just email me at mommyof2boysunder2@gmail.com.
