What are you doing reading this newsletter?? Get up and get to the consignment sales!

There are 3 children's consignment sales in full swing today:

• Belles and Beaus: It's half price day! This sale is in Lexington and today is the last day. I went last night and there was a ton of baby equiment and toys left in addition to clothes. If you need maternity stuff, get in the car and head over.
• Moms of Twins Sale: You don't have to be a mom of twins to attend the sale!
• Tot Trade: The big daddy of consignment sales starts today at the Jamil Temple and runs through next week.

Me and the kids are headed off to Carowinds today! It's the first day of the season and we've decided to go before everyone gets out for spring break next week. Since we've never been, keep an eye out for a trip report on the forum for details on where to park, when to go, and stuff to see while you are there.

See ya next month! - Scottie.
