The Sales are Coming, The Sales are Coming!!!

You know me...crazy excited consignment mom. And they're coming. Lots of consignment sales posted their Fall/Winter Sale dates this week, so be sure to check out our Fall/Winter Consignment Sales list so you can mark your calendar, sign up to sell (and shop), and start tagging!!!

Hope all of you Buzz reading moms have had a most wonderful Mother's Day. My Mother's Day weekend has been spent tending to little ones with fevers, cleaning up throw up and spending a few late night hours at the ER for this so called "virus" that has invaded our house. Makes me all the more thankful for the "mundane" mothering moments that happen every day!!

Speaking of mothering...I just discovered Hands Free Mama this week (I know, late to the game), and if you haven't checked it out, you should...really trying to be better in this area when "mothering".

Hope everyone has a great week!!

Blessings,
The Buzz
