Hanging at the Trading Post

I know I’ve been absent. What can I say…I ‘ve got three kiddos all 5 and under. We are having lots of fun and I’m feeling better than ever. Hopefully I will get more posts up as we begin our backyard chicken project. But for now I want to share a new find with you. I stumbled upon an internet trading post through a facebook ad of all things.

I signed up for an account, uploaded some pics of things I’m not in need of anymore and sent out my first trade today. My package is on its way to Bellingham, WA and it contains cloth diapers and a few special items for a new mama. In return I’m getting a $50 iTunes card. Sweet! So if you want to do some swapping yourself while you are lounging at home then head on over to SwapMamas.com. But you don’t have to be a mama to find something there. Even the papas have a special little place. Be sure to check for your local SwapMama group so you can keep things even cleaner by staying local.

Just a heads up. I think the site is pretty new and it does have a few awkward kinks. If you post desirable items and get a lot of response it can be somewhat overwhelming as the commenting/messaging system doesn’t flow very well. So if you get frustrated don’t worry, it’s not just you. Just take it easy and don’t worry about making an immediate trade. Just wait until you see something that really works for you.
