It’s summertime in Northeast Ohio, and you know what that means…garage sales every weekend! I must confess, two weekends ago we went garage sailing in search of crib sheets. Being that I’m about 12 weeks along means so far there has not been much I can do in the way of preparing for this little one. Larry and I went looking for crib sheets after I explained to him just how expensive new crib sheets are…and the quanitity we’d use in one day. We didn’t intend to buy any clothes because, as I said, I’m not exactly far along. Well…what happens when you’re looking for crib sheets? They put them right next to all the cute baby clothes. We found a few little outfits…unisex of course! Then this weekend my mom and I went garage sailing…because…well…she hasn’t been permitted (by my dad) to buy anything for the baby yet…I think she was in danger of having convulsions if she didn’t purchase any baby items soon! We also found a few cute outfits…practically brand new I must say! But, I have to tell you about the deal of the century we got at a “rich persons” garage sale. These people live in a million plus dollar home…I couldn’t resist seeing what they had for sale. They didn’t have any clothes…BUT…they had a crib. Now we had picked out a crib we liked and planned on putting it on our registry…but this was marked $25 and it included the mattress! It couldn’t have been used but for one child…no nicks…no scratches…all for $25. What did I do after getting Larry’s approval to purchase said crib? I totally offered them $20 for the crib and mattress…and they took it! Oh yeah…baby’s sleeping in high style for all of $20! Some of my other favorite items we’ve purchased:

1) A onesie that says “Future Computer Whiz”

2) A bib that says “I Come From Genius Genes”

3) Onesies that say “If You Think I’m Cute, You Should See My Mommy” & “If You Think I’m Cute, You Should See My Daddy”

4) A Pooh sleeper that says “It’s ‘Cause I Like Honey So Much”

5) The seven or eight layette gowns we’ve bought. These are like my new favorite thing! I have to buy almost every one I find! Um…a nighttime changing without having to undo snaps? I’m totally there!
