Store News :) Blessings!!!

We have lots of new stuff at the store, especially baby girl 3m and 6m (ralph lauren and then some more comfy everyday type stuff)... If you're going by the store today you may want to wear your jacket inside because it is chilly! yikes!

I also have a super cute brown/pink graco swing with mobile and an adorable rainforest cradle swing with the electrical plug in (ALWAYS a NICE FEATURE!)

We have 2 toddler beds, a white wooden one for $60 and a Blue race car little tikes bed for $60 :)

Lots of high chairs including a wooden one and the one that straps into a seat that is adjustable! Aqua bumbo seat in nice shape, and there is also a few travel systems, including an Eddie Bauer one that is complete with the baby rear view mirrors....

2 great changing tables.... one is $28; the other $60

On the big items, you can totally do layaway. Half Cash down, then the balance due in 3 weeks :)

I have tons of stuff to go through and put out, so if you are bringing things in (there is at least a 10 day turnaround right now). I've just started taking in NAMEBRAND spring/summer.... please make sure it's clean and all the snaps are done, it makes it quicker and easier for me to go through them quickly....

Thanks for your wonderful friendship and business! Peace, hope your day is grand!!!

Store News :)

YAY, should be able to accept Visa, Discover and Master Cards via my cellphone by the end of next week. I won't be able to print ya a receipt but we will be able to send you one via email :)

Lots of you have asked if I'm taking in SPRING things yet.... The answer: Sure I will be starting this Friday. Please check through and only bring in stuff that is in super condition. Our customer base has grown quite a bit and thus I am needing to be a bit more selective, taking just name brand stuff. That's really the only items that sell well.

We have lots of big items, though I did sell the castle and fairy paintings I had at the store. Oh, I have received some super cute shoes lately. Spring/Easter shoes plus a few pair of Winter Boots, these usually sell quick so if you need some, stop by within the week and take a peek :)

my mini epiphany

So i am driving home from my 5am-ish workout and reflecting on some of my life choices. Repenting of a few things, but mostly just wanting to know "WHY" did I do that, instead of this. Actually thinking about friendships and relationships, some from long long ago. So I am sitting there and my mind is trying to figure it out... And I hear this song on my radio "Don't you know I've always loved you, even before it was time..."

And I realize that most everything I do, has to do with me doing things myself, in my own way. Always searching for love and acceptance on some level. It's like I always have to have a back-up plan... Why am I like this??? Oh I know, maybe I haven't learned to fully trust GOD! :) UGH, really? After all this time and all we've been through... Yes I am afraid it's so, I've got to learn to trust GOD with EVERYTHING! Good and Bad! He knows me anyways right?

You know I want to do things in my own time, and in my own strength (or weakness). I have to learn to "Let God", more now than ever. Let God lead me, let God sustain me, let God discipline me. During the horrible summer of 2010, I realized that I am always closest to God when I am desperate and destitute, I literally remember being at the McNeese Track late one night jogging, with tears just sorta filling my eyes, yelling in my head, "Why God? What do you want from me???" I felt like I couldn't handle one more thing. I felt attacked and punished.

I've always had deep trust issues. With superficial stuff, sure I trust people, but with the deep, true hardcore inside ugly stuff, no way! But slowly God is peeling away that distrust and replacing it with the right people, places and events. But mostly He is teaching me that I can TRUST him and I should TRUST him.

So let's see, more leaning in and on God. More FAITH, less work. More Love, less hate. More Joy and less sadness. Less of me, more of Him... Doesn't it usually work better that way anyways?
