I am in the process of decluttering my home and have decided its time to part with my girls' baby clothes (sizes 0-18 months), hair accessories, socks, shoes, baby swing, highchairs, bassinett, exersaucer, every fisher price toy made within the past 4 years, etc. Also, I have soooo many very nice, very cute, maternity clothes. Both of my girls were born in July (but 2 yrs apart), so that should help you determine the winter/summer clothes thing. I will be selling all of this stuff in a garage sale next weekend, but if anyone wants to get a V.I.P. Preview, just let me know. Oh, I forgot I also have a stroller/carseat combo that has two bases...put one in your vehicle and the other in a second vehicle. I have two jogging strollers and would be willing to let one go, and a metal frame backpack type carrier that is GREAT for carrying baby with you for a long walk or I know we used it at a festival....soooo many people stopped us and complimented on that thing! ok, you get the idea, i have lots of baby stuff thats gotta go! thanks!
Ooh, I might be interested in the maternity clothes. But is it mostly summery stuff? I'm thinking I'll be needing them for the winter months next time around. I know you said your girls were born in July. But I don't remember wearing maternity stuff for at least 4 months. So I'm thinking you may not have needed them in the winter months. Let me know!
Do you have any toys that would be good for and 11 month old boy? Will has kind of outgrown some of his stuff it and is starting to get ready for more toddler type toys, since he is cruising along and will probably be walking with in the next month or so.

I will look and see if I have anything for the winter. I might have a few things that would work. All I remember is being HOT! lol! I was working during both pregnancies so I know I do have lots of nice "dressy"/business casual type outfits like black slacks and such. I loved wearing maternity clothes and since I bought my wardrobe "before baby a.k.a. when I had $", I spent A TON @ Motherhood Maternity. I will go through it all this week and let you know. Thanks!

I know he would like some of the Fisher Price and Leap Frog toys like the activity table, the talking chair, the laugh and learn door, etc. I should have everything sorted out this week. I will let you know what day would be good. Maybe all of the Forum Moms can come on the same day and we could have a brunch and browsing! That sounds like a good idea and will keep me motivated!
SM, the FP talking chair and laugh and learn door are AWESOME. Jack has loved them for a long time now.
CAMW, I love the idea of getting a sneak preview. Thanks for the suggestion. However, I will be out of town next week and I know you are selling all this stuff soon in a garage sale. So don't worry about it. It sounds like you have mostly dressy stuff anyway and I have little reason to dress up these days since I work from home!
Well, this week didn't go AT ALL as I had planned! I'm very sorry to not be able to follow through with everything as I had planned this week. Next week will be better! (Lord, I pray!) I intend to have the garage sale next Saturday and promise to let all of those who would like to preview the items, come over before the sale. Thanks again and I'm very sorry if I let anyone else down.
Don't worry, you didn't let us down! I don't think anything ever goes as planned when you have a LO! I'm still interested in the toys when ever you get a chance.

Well ladies, it looks as if I am ALMOST finished sorting through at least 10 boxes and plastic storage containers of baby clothes. It's 2 am and I'm about to get back to work and try to knock the rest of it out. I want to officialy invite anyone who is interested to PM me to set a time to preview these clothese, toys, necessities, etc. My garage looks like a high end consignment sale....I'm not joking! My garage sale will definitely be Saturday, so I hope to have all of those who want a sneak peak to come by on Thursday or Friday.
