Saving the Environment, One Baby Item at a Time

When we told M.'s mom we were going to start TTC, she questioned whether or not we had enough money to have a baby because "when it's your baby, you're going want the best for it."

The guantlet was thrown down.

M. is probably one of the feistiest people I know and her mother's assumption that we would only want the nicest things for our little bundle of joy was like waving a red cape in front of a very pissed off bull.

From that moment, M. became determined that our baby would NOT have the best. No high-end expensive crib. No plush play pen. No super frilly, extra cute crib set. I mean, put them in a cardboard box with a sheet and call it done. Toys? Tin foils rolls into a nice ball. Shoe boxes can be very fun.

Enter...CRAIGS LIST.

Which is why we are spending the entire day that was originally scheduled for sewing running around picking up used...you heard me, USED*...baby items.

*M. wants me to make sure everyone knows that she is highly responsible and has made sure everything we're picking up is safe and appropriate.
