Something for Nothing

For the past two weeks I have been searching Craig's List for a play kitchen for Bella. Every time I found one I liked I would email the seller only to discover that it had already been sold. I was becoming frustrated...until today...thank heaven for my awesome husband and great neighbors.

This morning Jared was running late for work. A couple minutes after he walked out the door he came back in. He told me that our neighbors across the street had placed a kitchen set outside in front of their house with a sign attached to it that read "free". I ran outside to check it out. Honestly I was thinking it was probably just a piece of junk since they were giving it away for free. To my surprise it wasn't. Not even close. In fact, it is the same kitchen I have been trying to get on Craig's List for 70 bucks!!

Jared hauled it inside for me, then ran off to work...which by now he was really late for.

The best part of this whole thing was watching Jared and Bella play "pretend" together before we put her to bed. So Sweet!

Wow! you are a lucky woman. That is a great kitchen set and a cute one. I bet bella loves it. Congrats girl. We want to get one for Maddie for x-mas. I better start looking around outside. Great idea.
