I think if I had to, I could list 100 reasons why I love kids resale events, but here are just a few. If you have never been to a kids sale, whether you are expecting or already have children, you don’t want to miss out.
The first time I went to a kids sale my 6 month old first born (a boy) was wearing 12 month clothes, so I had nothing, or what I did have was the wrong season. Who knew that the child would not follow the guidelines set forth by the clothing makers. My neighbor told me about how great the sale is and her husband joked about how he is a kids resale widow every fall and spring while she shops. Even he admitted what a great deal it is though! I helped with set up at my PTA’s sale to get an entire wardrobe for my son for around $20.00. I got onzies and tshirs and pants, even a jacket.
I was hooked. Over the years I have purchased everything from more clothing (I now have two boys who grow or wear through everything) to toys, to extra items to keep at the grandparents houses and so much more. Found bed rails I needed, gates, one of those cars the kids hit the pedal and go a whole 5 MPH down the drive. All of these at such great prices and some looking like they were never used.
So even though my kids are a bit old for these sales I still go. The minimal admission is worth the look to see if there are any clothes in their size or toys they have not outgrown yet. If you are thinking of going for the first time I promise you will not be disappointed. If you are a kids resale junkie like me leave a comment below with one of your best deals!

More Proof that PTA moms in Cleveland totally ROCK!
For the last several weeks two big things have been happening in our PTA. First, the moms (most of them!) have been planning a big night out tonight for the premier of Eclipse (a Twilight movie)! They are going to the midnight show, with food and drinks before hand. All are so excited!
Second, though, our beloved Susan (a mom) has been struggling with terrible back pain, trying various meds and having to take leave from work. We’ve supported her with meals and visits, through her shopping therapy and funny comments while on perkacet, only to today find out she has to have pretty risky surgery. In addition, Susan was one of the most excited about tonight’s premier, and is unable to attend as she cannot sit that long (even to go in the car, much less the theater).
PTA moms however are a force to be reckoned with and do not take no’s lightly. So, they made “Sue on a stick”. They took pictures they had of Sue and put them on sticks so that she can spend the evening with them. Pictures are being loaded on Facebook as we speak so Sue knows how much she is loved and missed and to feel part of the group she is a vital part of.
Support won’t end there. Sue and our entire PTA know that. We are in it for the long haul, with every single one of our families. Another reason why we love our PTA.
