* Barely used baby and kids items taking up space in your home?

Consignors- "Don't waste time on craigslist trying to post each item hoping for a response and then having to deal with inquiries, spam mail and having a stranger to your home to pick up stuff or not even show up! Your time is valuable and best spent with your family."

Shoppers- "Don't pay retail pricing for items your kids will wear only once or twice. Don't buy that full price toy only to bring it home and find out they are not really interested. Or why buy that $150 piece of baby equipment that your baby will use only a month or two."

Community Swap

Saturday, February 12th at 10 am.

We are hosting a Big Swap! I am sure, especially after the holidays, we all have plenty of items that could use purging and giving away. So in light of that, we have planned a Saturday morning Swap. Hopefully a Saturday morning will allow some of you working moms to join us, as well as allow our hubbies to take kid-duty for the morning. If you need to bring your kids, that's fine, or if your hubby wants to entertain them at our meeting place that would be fine as well.

FYI, there is no fee or charge to participate! Everything will be laid out on tables by category and then everyone can begin "shopping".
Any items are welcome!
Of course baby items, baby gear, kids clothing, shoes, etc....is extra welcome!
But we also welcome maternity clothes, household items, clothes you or your husband are ready to give away, food (unopened and non-expired) and coupons too!
Basically, bring anything you don't want, need or use anymore and hopefully it will fit someone else's need!
Any items left over will be given to charity.

Event will be held @:

Redeemer Community Church

 (a dark green, brick building with free parking lot to the right side of the building)

5515 Penn Ave.

Pittsburgh, Pa

Saturday, February 12th at 10 am.

Spread the word, the more people we have, the more successful it will be!

Please email me if you are planning on participating, so we can have a rough estimate - pgh@live.com.

Chick-fil-A® is offering an alternative to the breakfast routine in 2011 with the new Spicy Chicken Biscuit. The biscuit hit menus nationwide Jan. 10, 2011.
The hand-breaded Spicy Chicken Biscuit features the chain’s signature boneless breast of chicken seasoned with a fiery blend of peppers and spices, pressure-cooked in 100 percent refined peanut oil and served on a made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuit.
The biscuit starts at $2.25 as an entrée. It is also offered as part of a Chick-fil-A® Breakfast Meal, which includes a beverage and an order of Hash Browns or other side item, starting at $4.15.
The introduction of the Spicy Chicken Biscuit comes on the heels of Chick-fil-A’s most successful new product launch in recent years -- the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, which hit menus in June 2010.
Customers are invited to tweet about their experiences with the biscuit using #spicychickenbiscuit.

About Breakfast
According to research firm NPD Group, 48 percent of Americans say their breakfast choices are driven by routine. NPD Group also found breakfast sales accounted for 60 percent of growth in foodservice traffic over the past five years.
Chick-fil-A biscuits are made from scratch each morning.
Chick-fil-A’s entry into the breakfast market came in 1986 when the then mall-based chain expanded outside of shopping centers and began building stand-alone restaurants that opened for breakfast.
Chick-fil-A has a wide variety of breakfast items to choose from, including breakfast burritos, bagel sandwiches, fruit cups and yogurt parfaits. Its signature breakfast item continues to be the Original Chick-fil-A® Chicken Biscuit.
