Blog readers, meet Betty. Betty, meet blog readers.

Betty plays music and when she rocks back and forth her wings flap. I found her on Craigslist last week. I began stalking Craigslist for fun and unique kids things when I was pregnant. I figured it would be a good place to find new or gently used toys and other big ticket baby items. We've actually bought quite a few things in the past year on Craigslist, including Emma's pack 'n play and bassinet. Our latest find, Betty, is new. She sells for $125 regularly and we bought her for just $40. I'm definitely not the most thrifty person in the world but I was really excited to find her. It's so satisfying to be able to save money and buy Emma a few more outfits, toys, etc. because of the money we saved. Now I just need to ask Tyler to take her downstairs when I'm not looking so she stays a Christmas present :)
