And the first item on the list was a new dresser for our younger daughter. So for the first time I checked out Craigslist. Too many stories of Craigslist gone wrong. But when I found a pretty good solution on Craigslist, I sent my husband to pick it up the dresser. My daughter is pretty pleased with her new dresser.

Upon more online research, my husband felt the new repair would be beyond his ability, so we started looking on Craigslist. Our youngest daughter came to us with a youth soccer league flyer and asked if she could try it. My husband and I want our daughters to be active and physically fit, but we want them to figure out their passions.

In January, I only ventured into Target because our daughters wanted to go and spend some of their Christmas gift money. At the beginning of the month, we were in the market for a bedroom dresser because my youngest daughter’s dresser fell apart over the holidays. Daughter and mommy were both thrilled.

This idea came to me when my retired neighbor called me and asked if I could come over and help her with a Craigslist posting. And I got the idea from my daughters’ Girl Scout troop Christmas party. We live in a tech age and a lot of seniors could use some lessons to keep up. Garden Harvest. Are you a gardener? Yes, I said it.

Our youngest daughter’s dresser practically disintegrated into pieces over the holiday break. That’s motivation to take some time to scour Craigslist and some local second hand furniture stores this week. This challenge already has me thinking differently.

I could have tried to sell the unbroken pieces online, on eBay or Craigslist, but this was definitely instant gratification. It was a fun morning for me and my girls and my oldest daughter got a kick out of seeing us on local evening news. You may decide it is worth it to try to sell online.
