CONGRATULATIONS, LAMOCA2014! You are the winner of the giveaway!! Thanks so much to all who entered! Tickets go on sale tomorrow, so be sure to get in line early!!
Guess what friends?! It’s time for Birmingham’s largest “garage sale” with items from over 1000 local families. Yup, you guessed it. It’s time for the Birmingham Carousel! You know that I love a good deal, so this event is right up my alley and it should be up your alley as well. Saving money is good for everyone. 🙂

Through member donations, Bargain Carousel provides shoppers with a variety of quality items at very affordable prices. In return, proceeds are returned directly to the Birmingham community through the Community Projects the Junior League of Birmingham supports. The JLB, Alabama, Inc. is an organization of approximately 2,400 women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. To learn more about the Junior League of Birmingham, please visit jlbonline.com. Pretty cool, right? Sounds like an organization we can all stand behind. So, check out photos from previous events to get an idea of the scale of the MAJOR sale they are hosting!!

I have a 4 year old who needs a new big boy bike, an 8 month old that is growing out of her clothes by the minute, a house that we have slowly been remodeling and could use some new fabulous furniture, and this mommy needs some shorts to fit my post-baby body.
