Yard Sale Blessings
I absolutely love finding a good deal on gently used children’s items and yard sales are a great place to look! A few weekends ago (yes, I have a list of things to blog about hehe) we headed out on a Sat morning to go yard sale shopping. We came home with some GREAT finds!
I had just finished telling Aaron before we arrived at one yard sale that the kids were fine with clothes, but the next thing we would need for Miriam was fall/winter in the next size – 24 months. Well . . . . the Lord provided a BOX of fall/winter clothes in the exact size we needed for only $15!!!
The same lady had a bag of 12-18 month boy clothes that she threw in for $5. We figured we could pass it along to someone who needed it!
Since we were buying quite a bit from her, she kept throwing things in at ridiculous prices. The Dora Bean Bag Chair . . free.
We also came away with some really fun toys for the kids. Miriam loves her little aquarium that plays music whenever she drops the fish in.
We got this Fisher-Price table for $1. I don’t think the lady knew what she had!
It was a little like Christmas morning at our house when we got back home! We also got alot of fun VHS videos for $1 a piece and a big stack of board books for $2!
My Favorite Find of the Day for Isaac!!
Isaac loves watching Go Diego Go with Aaron in the evenings before bedtime. At one yard sale we found this motorized Diego Jeep for $10! How perfect is that! (And at another sale we found some little Diego house-slippers! )
My Favorite Find of the Day for Miriam!!
The total cost for these 3 articles of clothing . . .(drum roll please . . ;-) $4!! I’m thinking Christmas for the red dress and the brand new white coat! And I LOVE the Old Navy pink coat!! Too cute! I am so grateful to the Lord for his blessings. He always provides for our needs and sometimes a little extra :)

Very blessed! Wow! I can't believe she sold those toys for so cheap. And $10 for a jeep? They're almost $300 at the store! Maybe I need to yard sale more. I usually only do it once a year during our big community-wide one. I think I'm missing out :o)
