Garage Sale Findings

Many of you may know of our "thrifty-ness." Yesterday, Bart and I went to a few different garage sales.
Mission: To find as much baby stuff as we could.
We found three items which we are very happy with.
We got a nice glider from a yard sale that was right in our own apartment complex. The people who sold it even accepted our "rubber check!" (Just kidding Annie.. it won't bounce.)
Then we went to Upper Arlington and found a little highchair. It's the kind that you attach to a kitchen chair. This is perfect for us, seeing how we don't have a ton of room in our kitchen. Then our final purchase was a Jogger. I was hesitant at first because it didn't have all the bells and whistles of new joggers. But the price was actually more in our budget than the new joggers. $30.00. It's a great brand- Baby Jogger. We are excited to try out these items with she comes.
Here's the glider and the highchair.
A seat for baby and a seat for mommy!

love the glider. i've been looking for a used one for months now! we found our first one used, but that will stay in Clare's room. No, I don't rock her to sleep any more, but we do read books on it before nap & bed. So send some of your good luck my way. I only have 3 1/2 weeks left. p.s. how did you get it home?

WOW very impressive! That glider looks brand new and very comfy.

good find! We found our glider at a garage sale too, but ours didn't have nice padded arm rests like yours. good choice. By the way, you are looking so good and it looks like all the pregnancy weight went just to the baby and not other places like some of us more unfortunate ones.

Krista! I was blogstalking and found you! Congrats on having a girl. And you're in the midwest living life as a student's wife. Sounds familiar. I'm in Chicago, wife of a law student, but we're on our way out, seeking greener (okay, warmer) pastures in California. And I also recently joined the ranks of motherhood, only I don't have a cool glider. I had to settle for a recliner. Comfy, but no leg rest while rocking. You're a smart one. Glad to see you're doing well. You look fabulous!
