Who else buys secondhand toys for their kids?
This Lego set is going for $74 +tax right now and I got it for $2.99 at Goodwill. It's currently soaking in white vinegar, soap and warm water to sanitize.
Normalize secondhand gifts. Buy gently used toys as birthday and Christmas gifts for your kids. They truly won't care if it doesn't come in the original plastic wrap that they rip apart two seconds after opening anyway. Kids toys get beat up so quickly, after a week that scuff or scratch that you bought it with will blend in with all the new ones they put on it, and you will have put the money you saved towards providing necessary items for your children, or saving for your family's longterm goals!

"When pregnant, the cells of the baby migrate into the mothers bloodstream and then circle back into the baby, it’s called “fetal-maternal microchimerism”.
For 41 weeks, the cells circulate and merge backwards and forwards, and after the baby is born, many of these cells stay in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the mothers tissues, bones, brain, and skin, and often stay there for decades. Every single child a mother has afterwards will leave a similar imprint on her body, too.
Even if a pregnancy doesn't go to full term or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into your bloodstream.
Research has shown that if a mother's heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the site of the injury and change into different types of cells that specialize in mending the heart.
The baby helps repair the mother, while the mother builds the baby.
How cool is that?
This is often why certain illnesses vanish while pregnant.
It’s incredible how mothers bodies protect the baby at all costs, and the baby protects & rebuilds the mother back - so that the baby can develop safely and survive.
Think about crazy cravings for a moment. What was the mother deficient in that the baby made them crave?
Studies have also shown cells from a fetus in a mothers brain 18 years after she gave birth. How amazing is that?”
If you’re a mom you know how you can intuitively feel your child even when they are not there….Well, now there is scientific proof that moms carry them for years and years even after they have given birth to them.
I find this to be so very beautiful💜

Another score and testament to the savings of secondhand shopping! This musical ride on/walker is $63 +tax and I got it for 5 bucks at Goodwill. It looks brand new but is missing the 3 plastic balls it originally came with. Still, it plays music, makes sounds and can be used as a ride on or walker!
What are some great deals you've found lately?

Wholesome moment alert! My family and I stopped into a hot cocoa bar to warm up earlier today and as we sat down these Christmas carolers came in. They sang O Come All Ye Faithful and then Joy to the World. It was a beautiful and wholesome moment that we were thankful to witness! Little things like this, where 10 volunteers spend their free time walking around in 30 degree temperatures to spread the spirit of Christmas is so white pilling! 💗
