Craigslist Purchase

I am very excited to show off my latest purchase on Craigslist recently. A Sit and Stand Stroller! I was checking them out at Target the other day, because I needed a stroller that would fit my 4 year old and 3 year old on long walks. They retail for $175! Ouch! There's no way that I would pay that much for a stroller, even if it's what I wanted.

So I've been diligently checking out Craigslist to see if anyone in town was selling one, and I found one the other day! They were selling the stroller for $70!! Woo-hoo!!

Now that summer is arriving, I am more likely to take the boys for long walks, even to get some groceries! Thank you, Craigslist!! So, if you're looking into making a big purchase, check out online to see if someone is selling a used one, first.

My New Desk From Craigslist

Every once in awhile I'll get lucky on Craigslist on the "Free" category.  So, here is my latest finding on Craigslist.  I got this huge desk for free from someone who was getting a new desk in their home.  It's kinda heavy too, and I got it while my husband was gone one week, so I somehow managed to bring it in the house by myself.  Yes, when I'm determined, it happens. :)

And the nice thing is that I was kinda looking for a school desk for when the boys get older and are in school, and will need someplace to do homework.  There are just a few scratches on the top, but other than that, it's in great condition.  

I'll have to post more pictures later this week to show you the up-to-date photos of how we decorated it and where we ended up putting it in our home. 

Have you gotten lucky on Craigslist recently?  If so, please share, I'd love to hear about it!

Zechariah's "new" bike

Check out Zechariah's "new" bike that we bought off of Craigslist for $25.  I saw a little boy Zechariah's age riding this exact same bike at the park the other day and thought it should be time we taught him how to ride a bike.  

He likes it, but hasn't really ridden it more than 5 seconds.  I don't think that he understands how to pedal.  I'm sure it will come in time.   But, since I was on the topic of bikes, I thought I'd post a picture of his "new" bike.
