I love going to garage sales. When Mom and Dad passed, my Brother inherited the house and all their stuff – which they in turn had inherited from the prior generation. My Mother-in-law broke up her household of 50+ years in 2009. Free is good, right? Maybe, maybe not. In the past, I have jumped on these opportunities.

Now I’m living on the small acreage that I was raised on (which is now smack dab in the middle of town & 2 miles from work) with my mom & my two kids, 15 & 8. We teamwork together to homeschool-I was homeschooled until nursing school, and I am privileged to be teaching my kids & have my mom assist on the days I work.

I’m a long-distance cyclist, a triathlete, a wife, a mother of two, a sister, a daughter, a friend, DIY-er, and a community member! And barring one job I had as a young mother, I never have. They had me, and then my mom decided to go back to school full-time and get a PhD. Hosting garage sales & reselling items.

We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. Peggy : Something really cool being done today is that the stay-at-home Moms trade babysitting days so they can get some time off and give the kids a play day.
