I decided to have a garage sale this past week, very last minute.\u00a0 But I completely lucked out because our neighbors across the street also had a garage sale, so my little piddly sale was well attended largely due to their nicely plump sale.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 And like I said before, I had priced most of my thing for $1 or less so I wasn’t out to make a lot of money–just get rid of stuff.\u00a0 And I’m happy to say that I got rid of 75% of my items.<\/p>\n

My goal was to make $50.<\/p>\n

And here’s why…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Our "New" double stroller!<\/p><\/div>\n

I bought a double jogging stroller off of Craig’s list last week for $50.\u00a0 So, my goal was to make as much as I spent to even everything out.<\/p>\n

And I did!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Yippie!<\/p>\n

The stroller is awesome–it even has a wheel in the front that can swivel or lock (which was very important to me).\u00a0\u00a0 And it’s in great condition.\u00a0 Chloe and Josiah LOVE going for walks in it.\u00a0 And I’m super excited to be able to enjoy long walks this fall to watch the falling leaves without having to fight with Chloe about needing to go further or faster than her little legs can go.\u00a0 They both sit in the stroller like angels talking to each other and playing with toys–it’s great.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I’m aware that I’ll probably only get good use out of it for this fall, since Chloe is already so big in it (ah, the problem of having big kids!).\u00a0 But it was totally worth it for me.\u00a0 And now I feel so much more at peace about spending the money since I was able to cover the cost with stuff I was going to get rid of anyway!<\/p>\n

Oh, and of course, there is the added bonus of being able to get some exercise too!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
