When Mama’s busy, the blog gets ignored. Sorry!
This week’s been a bit crazy as I prepared to participate in my multiples club gear and clothing sale. Its a big sale that our club puts on twice a year, where members sell (and get to keep most of the profits from!) all sorts of baby gear, toys, clothes, shoes, etc. I had been to the sales to buy lots (Awesome deals! And members shop early!) but never sold, since it takes a fair bit of time to prep and work the day of the sale.
Finally my girls felt old enough (and happily going to bed without nursing or mama) that I felt able to commit to selling. So, this week I was madly searching for and labling hangers, writing out tags and pricing, cleaning and organizing gear and clothes. I have SO many clothes, and only scratched the surface with mostly unused tiny baby size this time. It was exciting to get some of the bigger gear I had left (swings, bouncers, etc) out of the house though.
Friday night me and 50 or so other parents of multiples went over to the location and set up. So much stuff! So many great deals! Once it was organized we got to shop ourselves, and I scored some AWESOME clothes and shoes for the girls — for cheap! I got some booster seats for the kitchen table for the little girls that were an instant hit.
Then I was back early Saturday to help with the actual sale for non-selling club members and the public. I worked in the holds area, where people store their gear while they keep shopping. I remember my first sale where I was pregnant and buying stuff like a double strollers, bouncers, baby gyms, etc, and it felt like a full circle moment to be there helping all these expecting and new twin families with this kind of stuff.
And it was pretty nice to hang out with all grownups for a significant chunk of time! Its a lot of work to prep for the sale, but I will definitely do it again, for the fun factor as well as making some $$$. And I am excited to see my check in the mail, because I did sell a lot of stuff, hooray!
