Selling some things

As many of you may know I am in grad school to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, but one thing that you may not know is that I have decided to go to grad school debt free. So far I have been doing great with this goal, but with two semesters left my savings account is getting a bit lower than I am comfortable with. Therefore I have decided to take the advice of my favorite financial guru Dave Ramsey and "sell so much stuff the kids think they are next". I have started by listing some items on ebay which you can check out here.

I have also posted some items on Craig's List you can find them here:

Radio Flyer Wagon

Little Tikes Bike Trailer - gone

Superyard - gone! that was fast

Toddler Bike - gone

Summer Reading Programs

There are so many great summer reading programs out there for kids that I want to be able to take advantage of this summer. Unfortunately they are all starting to run together in my brain so I decided to compile a list here so other people can take advantage of it too.
