Today marks 4 years in Colorado. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I remember the drive out here like it was yesterday. My Mom drove with me and Mila, and my Dad in the Budget truck with Brian. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Probably one of the best memories with my Mom. 14 hours in a car together. Her—acknowledging and respecting that I was spreading my wings to fly. Me—seeing her as my best friend. Two adults, but still mother and daughter. We had some of the best conversations that day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So much has changed for us since that day, for better and worse. I don’t know whether it’s Colorado, or just the fact that I took a chance, left everything I knew and started a new life with my husband, but I am forever changed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know who I am now. And I love her. I am so thankful for that transformation more than anything, although the mountains and memories have been good to us too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t know if Colorado is our forever home, but it’s our home for now and I am so thankful. Can’t wait to share her beauty with Raya this summer.

You all know how much I love to buy and sell used items. Especially baby items. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A good amount of what we use is secondhand: our bassinet, mamaroo, cloth diapers, high chair, clothes, etc. I can’t pass up a good lightly used find. I save money and reduce waste by doing so. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I discovered @goodbuygear, I realized there’s an even easier way to do this. One that eliminates the concern over strangers coming to your home...and eliminates all the labor that it takes to get an item sold! Plus you can shop from the comfort of your own home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @goodbuygear’s mission is one that I proudly stand behind, so when the opportunity for a partnership arose, it was a no brainer. Here’s a few highlights about their company: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. BUY: Browse their selection of lightly used or new/open box strollers, cribs, bassinets, high chairs, bouncers, toys, breast pumps, diaper bags, etc. online or visit their Denver/Dallas warehouse. Each item is cleaned and inspected for safety by their team of Moms. They ship nationwide with free shipping on eligible orders! 2. SELL: Sell your gently used baby items. They will pick up your items at your doorstep if you live in the Denver/Dallas area! They clean, inspect and list your product for you on their website. When it sells, you get up to 80%. 3. SUPPORT MOMS: The company was founded by two moms, Kristin and Jessica, and they employ a team of moms who are allowed to bring their kids (of any age) to work! 4. NON PROFIT PARTNERS: No item goes to waste. Anything that doesn’t sell can be donated to one of their non profit partners (Hope House, Weecycle or Children’s Hospital). Sellers can also choose to donate their profits to one of these orgs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please check them out and let me know what you think! You can use the code “CALIWOLF” for 15% off your purchases of $100 or less. #ad
