eBaying

I have been selling things on eBay since we moved here in January because it's fun and earns us a little extra money. Rod's sister, Janna, gave us the idea of selling baby/kids clothes because she had done it herself with her kids' clothes. So I started out selling things from around the house that we decided not to keep after we moved. However, after those things were gone I didn't have much to sell. Our idea had been to search garage sales and clearance racks for good deals and then resell them. Well, Rod works on the weekends and taking Amelia around to garage sales is just not very fun for either of us.

I had actually been praying about a few different opportunities that I had to make some extra money. I was trying to decide which would be the best to put my efforts into. Rod kept saying that we needed a "supplier". By that he meant a company that we would buy overstock from to then resell on eBay. Of course we have no idea how to find a supplier nor the money it would probably take to buy in that sort of bulk. Enter God's timing and providence! Janna had been saving up all of her kids' clothes to sell on eBay but was not finding the time to do so. It was starting to pile up and kind of stress her out. So, long story short, I am now selling all of the clothes she had accumulated. We both win!

During Amelia's nap time, I make and post my listings. Right now I am working on selling a bunch of baby boy clothes from birth through 12 months. There should be quite a bit I'll be listing in the next week. If you or anyone you know needs some baby clothes, go on eBay and search for my listings under airbeck714.

What We're Up To

For those of you who have no idea what we've been up to and where we are now, here's a summary: At the beginning of this year we moved from Apple Valley, CA to Bloomfield, NM. Rod is working as an instructor pilot with Mesa Pilot Development in Farmington (northwest corner of NM, near Four Corners). We were finally able to buy a house (not a reality for us in Southern California) and are working on getting it landscaped. I am able to be a stay-at-home mom to Amelia who is now 17 months old and practically running everywhere. I do some selling on eBay for fun and to help pay a few bills.

We like the area and being away from the hustle-bustle of So. Cal. It is a little hotter here than we thought it would be but not as hot as the High Desert so I really shouldn't be complaining. We are only about 45 minutes from Durango, CO where we love to go when we have extra time. I know that New Mexico doesn't sound very exciting but there is really a lot to do within an hour of here. If you are ever through this area, we'd love to have you visit. We even have a guest room!
