Goodbye, for now

Since Jill and I are both moving out of state in the coming months, we are taking a break from this blog (not that we have posted much lately anyway...).

So to the few who still check in, thanks, and adios, for now!

(AZ) FREE admission to Superstition Farm (Mesa) and upcoming Savvy Sale

Superstition Farms in Mesa, a family owned working dairy farm, is offering Free Admission this Thursday, March 15th.  Open 10am-2pm. A great way to bring the kids out to see how a farm works first hand. (Thanks AZ shopping secrets!)

If you live in the East Valley, you may be interested in shopping or consigning at the Savvy Sale. This is a great time to go through your kids' clothes and sell them...or shop for new clothes! If you want to attend, it is just 4 weeks away, Thursday April 12-Saturday April 14th, located at 1330 S. Crismon Rd. in Mesa.

 

If you are consigning, you will need to set aside some time to input your clothes info (description, size, etc) and have white card stock and hangers available. If you are registering for the 1st time, you can use my consignor # as a referral (2183). You can also like them on Facebook.
