Day 236 - Lansinoh Breast Milk Storage Bags

Today I am offering a nearly full package of Lansinoh Breast Milk Storage Bags. These were given to me by a friend - who knows I am having troubles getting my act in order lately. Hence - publishing 4 offerings today! All of which are courtesy of Hazel! Anyhoo - they are exactly what they sound like. I am sure someone will put them to use.

Sunday, August 23, 2009

Day 235 - 5 Switchplates

Today I am offering 5 switchplates. All are gold. 3 are for a single light switch and 2 are for double switches. I think these were from the house my parents bought and they put new ones in. Somehow they ended up here. But, they are not our style - though they are in good condition.

Saturday, August 22, 2009

Day 234 - 3 Handrail Brackets

Today I am offering 3 handrail brackets. These are the things that hold the handrail to the wall in your stairwell. They are all new and in their packaging. I think we got these when we had to fix the handrail at our old place before we moved. Perhaps the fix never happened - I have no idea! But, we're never going to use them - unless we build a stairwell to nowhere...

Friday, August 21, 2009

Day 233 - 3 Ceiling Hooks

Today I am offering 3 ceiling hooks - to hang plants or whatever else (hold up to 50 lbs). They are all new in packaging and I am hoping to get rid of all of them with one taker. I can't recall why these were purchased, but I know we don't have any ieas floating in our minds about what to do with them. So, hopefully someone dying for new ceiling hooks will get my e-mail!

Thursday, August 20, 2009

Day 231 - Alphabet Magnets - GONE!

Some local kindergartners will be enjoying new letters! So glad they will go to use!

Day 232 - Crockpot sans lid... - GONE

I am amazed how many people want a crockpot without a lid!! WOW!

Day 229 - Girls Tights - FLOP!

Perhaps it is still to warm, but I am very surprised these did not go. Looks like I'll be selling them at my twins club kid resale in a few weeks. But, I am surprised!

Day 230 - 3 Iron Hooks - GONE!

These went fast and had many that wanted them! So glad they will go to use - probably holding a birdfeeder!!

Day 232 - Crockpot sans lid...

Today I am offering a Rival crockpot that is probably 4.5 quarts. It is missing a lid - so either you need to buy one or you can use it for another purpose. The lid broke in our garage and I was not able to figure out what new lid I needed. So, I bit the bullet and bought a new one - what a bummer.

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

Day 231 - Alphabet Magnets

Today I am offering a bag of magnetic alphabets. They are perfectly fine, but I just don't care of them. The magnets can come off the back and if a little guys ate them it could be trouble. I told the freecyclers that they should only go to a home with kids over 3...

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

Day 230 - 3 Iron Hooks

Did you ever have a vision that just didn't work? Well, today I am freecycling 3 black iron hooks. We bought them to hang candle boxes in our screened porch. But, it didn't look right. We did find a solution we love - more candleboxes, but a little more tailored. So, these hooks are yours for the taking!

Monday, August 17, 2009

Day 229 - Girls Tights

Today I am offering 2 pairs of Old Navy tights. They were in a lot of clothes given to my girls a few months ago. They are in great shape - just not my style. But, I am sure someone will be more than happy to have them for their kid. We'll see!

Day 221 - Beaded Mens Necklace - FLOP!

Again, I am not too surprised this was a flop! But, I did get one super funny response from a guy who thought it might improve his image, but he said he was too old. It made me laugh...

Day 222 - Pill Box - FLOP!

Not surprised, the pill box is still taking up space in my house. I'll just add it to my Good Will box.

Day 223 - Gourmet Food - FLOP!

Off to the food pantry they go. I am a little surprised they did not go - who turns down free food?? I even had people send me recipes to use them in. But, they did not want them - strange............

Day 225 - Frog Food - FLOP!

Apparently nobody in my neighborhood has any frogs they want to feed. That stinks.

Day 224 - Kid Toy Bin - GONE!

This item was actually given as a "free for all" at my recent twins club meeting. My neighbor gave it to me right before the meeting and although I did not want it, I knew someone would! Sure enough when I put the offer out there the girls were fighting for it.

Day 227 - Electronic Sudoko Game - GONE!

This game was also snapped up super quick!! Yippie - I am sure she'll have a lot of fun with it!

Day 228 - Disney Photo Album - GONE!

Not a surprise, but the disney album has been promised and should be gone today. It took all of like 2 seconds to find a taker - again, not a surprise. But, I am happy to have it on its way out of the house!!

Sunday, August 16, 2009

Day 228 - Disney Photo Album

Today I am offering a Disney Princess Photo Album. This is brand new in packaging. My girls are just not that into Disney and (once again) we just don't need it! I am not sure when we got it - maybe a birthday gift or something. Regardless, it needs a new home - how about yours????

Saturday, August 15, 2009

Day 227 - Electronic Sudoko Game

Today I am offering an Electronic Sudoko Game. My brother-in-law gave it to us several years ago and we had a lot of fun with it! But, we just don't ever use it anymore. I think it would be perfect if you had a train ride to work or something. But, we're drivers - unfortunately!

Friday, August 14, 2009

Day 226 - Motorcycle Gloves

These are gloves from back in the day Dave drove around on his motorcycle. Glory Days!!

Thursday, August 13, 2009

Day 225 - Frog Food

Today I am offering a bottle of frog food - nearly full. Our frogs died - need I say more?

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

Day 224 - Kid Toy Bin

Today I am offering a kids toy bin. A big huge plastic monstrosity to store toys in. A neighbor gave it to me and I am passing it along. I am sure it will go super quick!!

Tuesday, August 11, 2009

Day 223 - Gourmet Food

Today I am freecycling a bottle of Pesto alla Genovese and a bottle of Roasted Eggplant Pesto. They are a donation to my cause from a good friend. They both look real nice and are obviously never opened or anything. Just not somethign you use on a normal days menu. I think they'll go!

Monday, August 10, 2009

Day 222 - Pill Box

Today I am getting rid of a weekday pill box. It has openings for every day of the week. It is fully functional - just a little small for my huge prenatal horsepills. I doubt it will go........

Day 219 - 2 Quilted Shams - GONE!

Another one that took a while, but is thankfully gone!!

Day 220 - Beaded Purse - GONE!

I am not surprised, but I have many responses for this purse - thankfully it is gone!

Sunday, August 9, 2009

day 221 - Beaded Mens Necklace

Today I am offering a beaded guys necklace. Think teens or twenties. Black beads - not shiny or anything like that. Super masculine. Not sure when Dave got this. He does like to wear a necklace if we are on vacation or something like that. But that really just never happens! So, it is off to someone else's neck. Not sure if this will go!!

Saturday, August 8, 2009

Day 220 - Beaded Purse

Today I am freecycling a super cute silver beaded purse. It is completely not practical - super tiny, but just beautiful - with all kinds of beading and sparkles.

It is a tough one for me to get rid of - holds some sentimental value. But, now that I have 2 kids and another on the way there is just no chance I'll ever use it again! And, it is way to nice to give to my little girls to play with.

I'm sad...

Day 218 - LP Zoo Reusable Bag - GONE!

It took a while, but the bag has been taken. Just proves, don't give up too quickly.

Friday, August 7, 2009

Day 219 - 2 Quilted Shams

Today I am offering 2 quilted pillow shams. They are white with some flowery patterns quilted in. Of course I got them from my Mother-In-Law. No matching quilt - just the shams - which seems a little odd. But, maybe someone would enjoy them.

Thursday, August 6, 2009

Day 218 - LP Zoo Reusable Bag

Today I am offering a nice compact reusable bag. It is one of those grocer bags that folds into itself - nice to carry in your purse or bag. We got it with our zoo membership and already have so many reusable bags I just don't think we NEED it. Hoepfully someone will be excited to see the posting.

Day 217 - Bottle Drop Ins - GONE!

I am a little surprised - in a good way! They drop-ins have been taken!!!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday, August 5, 2009

Day 216 - Oscar the Grouch Purse - FLOP!

I am surprised, but the purse did not go. Boo hoo...........

Day 215 - "3" Birthday Candle - GONE!

Well, they did not go via Freecycle, but I gave them to a friend who has twins turning 3 in a few months. So, they are out of my house - and that's good news!

Day 217 - Bottle Drop Ins

Today I am offering a full package and about 10 extra 4 ounce Playtex Drop Ins for Bottles. My friend Hazel gave me these to freecycle. I hope they go. It seems our group is not too interested in pregnancy and infant items - maybe the audience is a bit older. But, I hope they go!!

Tuesday, August 4, 2009

Day 216 - Oscar the Grouch Purse

Today I am offering a super cute Oscar the Grouch Purse. I am sure a little girl would love it! I can't remember when our girls got it - or where it was from. But, they don't really carry it around much anymore - and it is what Dave found to freecycle tonight!! We'll see! I think it will go...

Monday, August 3, 2009

Day 215 - Two "3" Candles

Today I am offering two "3" birthday candles. Yep - from my girls 3rd birthday party. Can't imagine why we'd need to keep them. Hopefully someone else is planning a party for a 3 year old and can use them.

Sunday, August 2, 2009

Day 214 - Fake Flowers

Today I am offering a bag of fake flowers. They were from my daughters 3rd birthday party. They planted gardens in the sand boxes at the party. We just no longer need a ton of plastic flowers - do you???

Saturday, August 1, 2009

Day 213 - Pant/Skirt Hangers - GONE!

Dave will be so happy to hear the hangers have been taken!! If only I would get rid of the other zillion hangers in the house - then he'd dance for joy!!

Day 211 - Crazy Straws

I had almost given up hope. Then, I got a reply and the straws are gone!

Day 213 - Pant/Skirt Hangers

Today I am offering about 40 or so pant/skirt hangers from Old Navy. I sell a lot of stuff through my twins club and have gotten many hangers to help me get my stuff ready. But, these hangers are not something I can use. I hope someone else might get some use from them.

Day 210 - Palm Car Charger - GONE!

This took longer than I expected, but the Palm charger is on its way out of the hosue! Yippie!

Friday, July 31, 2009

Day 212 - Betty Crocker Slow Cooker Cookbook - GONE!

It is gone! Not a surprise...

Day 212 - Betty Crocker Slow Cooker Cookbook

Today I am offering the Betty Crocker Slow Cooker Cookbook. It is in good condition and has many great recipes. I am sure this will go!

Thursday, July 30, 2009

Day 211 - Crazy Straws

Today I am offering 2 super crazy straws. They go in your mouth circle around like eye glasses and then in the cup. Super fun! Never used - wouldn't your kids love them!!!

Wednesday, July 29, 2009

Day 210 - Palm Car Charger

Today I am offering an old Palm Car Charger. Neither of us have Palm phones any longer, so they don't do us a big of good! Hopefully they will help someone else.

Tuesday, July 28, 2009

Day 209 - LP Zoo Coupons

Today I am offering 2 coupons for the LP Zoo. They are for 50% off a stroller rental. Not sure if they will go, but I am willing to mail them to the taker. We'll see!!!

Monday, July 27, 2009

Day 208 - 4 Mens Belts - Taken

The belts have been taken. Hopefully they don't continue to shrink on the next person.

Day 208 - 4 Mens Belts

Today I am offering 4 mens belts. 2 are dressier - maybe for khaki pants and 2 are more casual. Belts are size 34 and 36 - but the 36 runs small - so says Dave. Not sure how a belt can run small... But, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe the smurfs made it and they use smaller rulers??

Sunday, July 26, 2009

Day 207 - 3 Kids Books - GONE!

That did not take too long. The books are on my porch waiting for a pick-up tomorrow!

Day 207 - 3 Kids Books

Today I am offering 3 kids books - Duck for President, I Knew You Could (a Thomas the Train Book) and Smash Crash. There is one Duck book we like - this one is pretty annoying. The I Knew You Could book is just not great. And, Smash Crash is totally annoying!!! So, we are bundling them together and getting rid of them.

What kid book do you dislike- but have to read over and over and over and over...........................

Saturday, July 25, 2009

Day 206 - 10 Books - Left Behind Series

The books are out of my house! Good news!!

Day 206 - Left Behind Series

Today I am offering 10 books from the Left Behind series. I was really into the series many years ago and bought most of them and just don't need them anymore. The series is a bit old, but I think there still might be interest.

Friday, July 24, 2009

Day 205 - Kaplan GMAT Prep Book

Today I am offering a Kaplan prep book for the GMAT exam. My husband probably used it when he was entering business school. I am sure it will be helpful to someone else about to take that tricky exam. Let's hope so!

Thursday, July 23, 2009

Day 204 - Pregnancy Tests - GONE!

More than one taker. You'd think my momma group has had enough kids, but of course there will be more to come!

Day 204 - Pregnancy Tests

We're done having kids - and today I got rid of a few unused pregnancy tests and ovulation predictors. In all honesty, I did not freecycle them, I offered them to a group of good friends. I just thought it was way too much information for a group of strangers - kind of like you all!

Day 203 - Kids Blocks - GONE!

The blocks have found a new home! So glad someone else will enjoy them.

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

Day 203 - Kids Blocks

Today I am offering a cute set of pink blocks. They were a gift from my OB when I delivered my twin girls. They are super cute - they have letters, words and cute shapes on the blocks. We already have another set of blocks - and the kids just don't really play with them anymore. But, I am sure some little kid will have lots of fun with them!

Day 201 & 202 - Rollerblades

They blades have skated away! Hooray.

Tuesday, July 21, 2009

Day 202 - Rollerblades

Another pair of roller blades... Now hopefully they will both be gone...

Monday, July 20, 2009

Day 201 - Rollerblades

Today I am offering a good pair of roller blades. For a birthdya several years ago Dave and I both got roller blades and enjoyed using them. But, we don't use them now that we've got kids and don't have the best place to go roller blading. So, I hope someone else can enjoy them!

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Day 200 - Maternity Pants

Today is day 200!!! That seems like a big accomplishment!

Today I am offering 3 pairs of maternity pants. 2 are work type black pants from the Gap and one is just a plain navy sweat pant. They were given to me with lots of other maternity clothes, but they are a bit snug. So, another belly they shall cover.

I am sure they will go quickly!

Saturday, July 18, 2009

Day 199 - 3 Bags of Top Soil - GONE!

So many people, so little soil! So glad to have it gone!!!

Day 199 - 3 Bags of Top Soil

Today I am offering 3 bags of top soil. We bought a zillion to fill in the area from our driveway to our grass because of our new driveway last fall. But, we have a few extra and they are collecting dust.

Day 198 - Ice Cream Bowls - FLOP!

I am surprised, but the ice cream bowls did not go. They are so cute... Bummer.

Friday, July 17, 2009

Day 196 - Old Computer - GONE!

Yeah - the old computer is gone! That's great news!

Day 198 - Ice Cream Bowls

Today I am offering 2 super cute ice cream bowls. They were give to my girls from their wonderful babysitter. But, we already have too many plates/bowls that we jsut don't use them. I am sure they will be snapped up!

Day 197 - Mylar Balloons - GONE!

A little surprised to say, but the balloons are gone! Refilling old Mylar balloons is a great way to save $$.

Thursday, July 16, 2009

Day 197 - Mylar Balloons

Today I am offering 2 old Mylar Balloons. They don't have helium, but can be filled super cheap at any store that sells balloons. We used these for my girls 3rd birthday party and then for our roomates kids 2nd birthday and they are ready for another party!!

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Day 196 - Old Computer

Today I am offering a computer that's 9 years old and has no hard drive! But, maybe someonce can think of something interesting to do with it - get a new drive, recycle it, whatever. It served us well for a long time, but is no longer something that can work for us.

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

Day 193 - Book - Nights in Rodanthe - FLOP!

Apparently I am the only moron who might want this book - and I don't even want it anymore!! Nobody wants the book - not a surprise. Boo hoo...

Day 195 - Potty Books - GONE!

Gone at the speed of lightening! Literally had several responses within a few minutes of posting! Let's hope they wash hands...

Day 195 - Potty Books

Today I am offering 2 Potty Books. They were used when my daughters were potty training. I think the concept of used potty books is pretty gross, but I guess if you are supposed to wash hands after going/reading it should be okay. I think they'll go!

Monday, July 13, 2009

Day 192 - Note Cards - GONE!

Not a surprise, but the note cards are gone!! I had many people want them. Let's hope they get picked up quickly.

Day 194 - Vegetarian International Cuisine Cookbook - GONE!

Not a surprise, but the cookbook has been taken. I had many who wanted it. I am going to copy recipes I like tonight so I am not left high and dry!

Day 194 - Vegetarian International Cuisine Cookbook

Today I am offering the Vegetarian International Cuisine Cookbook. My Mother-In-Law gave it to me and it has many nice recipes. But, I never use it and so it must go - just like most other things in the house!!

Sunday, July 12, 2009

Day 193 - Book - Nights in Rodanthe

Today I am offering a Nicholas Sparks book - Nights in Rodanthe. I read this a long time ago and don't remember it. I saw them movie somewhat recently and it was terrible. Maybe I did not read the book, because if they are similar I surely never would have watched the movie. Seriously, I am not a fan of Nicholas Sparks - despite the fact I've read several of his books - kind of like Jodi Picoult - I read it but don't like it.

The funny thing is that as I was freecycling with my husband I asked him to look in his nightstand for something to get rid of - and lo and behold he found this. So, maybe it is his book!

Saturday, July 11, 2009

Day 192 - Note Cards

Today I am offering a new package of note cards and envelopes. They would be nice for keeping in touch or a thank you. They are cream with a red boarder and vintage red dress. A friend gave me these and I just don't use them or need them. I am sure someone will enjoy them...

Friday, July 10, 2009

Day 191 - Indian Bracelets - GONE!

2 little girls will be wearing new bracelets tomorrow!!! I am a little surprised they have been taken!

Day 191 - Indian Bracelets

Today I am offering a handful of pretty blue and gold costume bracelets that Dave got in India several years ago. They are very pretty, but too small for me. They'd fit someone with a pretty tiny wrist - or maybe a girl in high school. But, they are pretty...

Thursday, July 9, 2009

Day 190 - High Chair Activity Pad - GONE!

I am a little surprised it went this quickly, but super happy to have it gone!!

Day 190 - High Chair Activity Pad

Today I am offering an activity pad that goes on top of an Evenflo high chair. Or, you can just put it on your kids lap and they would have fun with it. This was on my daughters high chair. But, I sold the chair and the buyer did not want to take the pad with them. So, it is in the garage - along with a zillion other things I can freecycle. I hope some kid can enjoy this!!

Day 189 - Glow Sticks - GONE!

Wow - I think I had 15 people want the glow sticks. Seriously, a $2 value and that many people want to drive to my house for them. How crazy is that!!

Wednesday, July 8, 2009

Day 189 - Glow Sticks

Today I am offering 2 unopened packages of glow sticks. I am sure my kids would love them, but I am just not that adventurous. After my friends 3 year old bit into his and got the goo all over I just decided we're not ready for glow sticks - despite how much fun they are. I do have a dream of sneaking into a farm and giving the cows glow stick necklaces so you can see them in the dark, but Dave thinks that's crazy... Whatever.

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

Day 188 - Camera Battery

Today I am offering a perfectly fine camera battery. It works like a charm - just not for our camera!! And, of course we can't return it! So, it needs a new home. Hopefully we'll be saving someone like $40!

Monday, July 6, 2009

Day 187 - 2 Place-mats - GONE!

So glad I did not put these in the trash - they have been taken for a few boys that I am sure will love them!

Day 187 - 2 Place-mats

Today I am offering 2 dinosaur place-mats. they come with an erasable marker so your little ones can draw and do activities on the 2 sided mat. The girls just for them as goodie bags. But, I think goodie bags are the devil! And, we already have too many place-mats. So, hopefully they will find a new home quickly.

Sunday, July 5, 2009

Day 186 - Tropical Fish Food - GONE!

The fish food has found a new home - full of Molly's!!

Day 185 - Binoculars - GONE!

Not a surprise, they binoculars are taken. A little girl who enjoys watching birds will be using them. Dave seems very happy with this result.

Day 186 - Tropical Fish Food

Today I am offering a bottle of fish food for tropical fish. We got this food when we had little frogs that needed solid food, not flakes. But, the frogs are in heaven - and this has been in the garage. Hopefully it goes!

Day 184 - Picture Frame - GONE!

It took a few days, but the frame is gone! And, today I actually had multiple people ask for it!

Saturday, July 4, 2009

Day 185 - Binoculars

Today I am offering a pair of binoculars. I got these for Dave a hundred years ago and we've never used them. I thought they were going to come in handy some day and the day has never arrived. I just saw them in the garage and got permission from Dave to pass them on. But, there is definite hesitation in his voice about giving them away. Maybe because they were a gift from me or maybe because he has dreams of using them. But, he agreed and I don't think it will take long for them to hit the road.

Friday, July 3, 2009

Day 184 - Picture Frame

Today I am offering a super cute 4x6 photo frame. It is a beach scene with sand, shells, a sky, boat and 2 dolphins. I don't recall who gave us this, but really think someone will enjoy using it. We'll see..........

Thursday, July 2, 2009

Day 183 - 2 Old Fashion Purses

Today I am offering 2 0ld fashioned purses. Probably best for kiddies. No more information at this time...

Day 182 - Bag Of Stuffed Animals - FLOP! - GONE!!

I jumped the gun - the stuffed animals have been taken. They will be dog toys for a woman who works with an animal shelter. Works for me!

Day 182 - Bag Of Stuffed Animals - FLOP!

What a bummer, the bag of stuffed animals was not taken. I don't have the heart to tell the girls...

Wednesday, July 1, 2009

Day 182 - Bag Of Stuffed Animals

Today's items were given by my 3 year old girls. E&E are giving up a bag of stuffed animals - a dog, a cat, a few rabbits, and a few others. At breakfast we talked about what we could give away and they were more than happy to part with these items. Sweet.

And - we're 1/2 way through the year. I think this might be my first resolution ever that I've kept going this long! Do you think I can make it through the rest of the year - and have a baby! Yikes.

Day 181 - 3 Jump Ropes - GONE!

These are finally gone. I had nearly given up hope and then got an e-mail. Phew!!!!!!!!!!!
