Consignment

Well the nesting phase has begun to some degree.  I have started going through all of Alexis' old clothes and sorting through the keeps and sells.  I have so many clothes that Alexis did not even wear all of the outfits because of the fact that I had that many clothes.  Also I found that I had my favorites and would just dress her in those rather than her wear every single outfit.  Needless to say I started with 6 storage totes crammed so full they barely closed.  I have decreased my volume of clothes by 50% by selecting clothes to sell in an upcoming consignment sale, over 300 items by the way.  Point of advice to any first time moms, Only get about 10 outfits for each clothing size.  For example 3-6 months.  You will just use your favorites and all others just take up space.  I am having someone else to do tagging and pricing of the items since I have never consigned anything and with working as a nanny and going to school and taking care of my family, I have no time.  As long as I get some money I will be happy :)  

With the money that I will earn from the sale I will reinvest it in more clothes for the girls as Alexis is growing like a weed and baby girl is just stuck with the hand-me-downs for now.  All of the clothes Baby girl will have are in amazing shape and super cute.  I will however invest in some matching outfits.  Hubby says that is ok as long as all of their clothes do not match, as they are not twins.

12 weeks and counting till she arrives!!!!

Oh on another note I did sell the 125 gallon salt water fish tank in the background on Craigslist in 6 hours of listing!!!  Now I have room to clean out the office to make it into baby girls room!!!
