Duck Duck Goose Consignment – Not Just for Babies!

Duck Duck Goose Consignment – Not Just for Babies!

When you think of consignment sales, you probably think of tons of clothing racks, lots of plastic toys, and mountains of baby gear.  But, there are some other great things to be found!  Yesterday I shopped the pre-sale at Duck Duck Goose and came home with some treasures, so I thought I would share some of the deals I found in the not-so-typical departments of the sale. I went to the carseats first. There was a … Read entire article »

All You Need to Know About the Duck Duck Goose Sale {giveaway}

Whew!  I just finished entering all my items for the Fall Duck Duck Goose (DDG) consignment sale.  We are doing a serious purge this go-round, so I am maxed out on the 100 item limit.  It’s a little funny that I’m consigning at all.  When we moved to Arkansas three years ago, I had never heard of a consignment sale.  Now, when it comes to selling the stuff that my kids have grown out of, … Read entire article »

Planning Summer Fun {giveaway}

It’s only April, but I know many of you have been planning summer for over a month now.  We’ve already been bombarded with barrage of information on summer camps, summer preschool sessions, and summer festivals and special events.  Squeeze in a vacation or two, trips to the pool, and visits from relatives, and things start to get overwhelming fast. This summer I’ve decided to stay as unscheduled as reasonably possible.  This is the last summer before Carina starts Kindergarten, and I want to spend it footloose and fancy-free, having fun and doing things we won’t be able to do once we have to start adhering to a school schedule.  That said, I know I will need a break from the rugrats at some point, and I’ve been working on a couple … Read entire article »
