I had to go out in my garage the other day to find something (scary-venturing into the unknown), and as I was fruitlessly perusing from my doorway (since I'm scared to go any farther), I realized that at least HALF of the clutter in my said garage is child equipment:
Car seats, strollers, swings, crib, gate, and oh, about 2 dozen bins of clothes!
I then imagined what my garage would like like sans child equipment--NOT SCARY!
So my friends, let me introduce you to a most fabulous place that will help you (and is in the process of helping me) declutter your garage, storage room, etc. of all that lovely child equipment.
And I don't mean just any old Kid to Kid. I'm talking about the American Fork Kid to Kid (sorry for those of you who don't live in Utah).
I went to go and check it out last week, hoping to downsize the clutter in my car trunk, and WHAT *gasp* did I see upon entering??
This:
and this:
Do you see what I'm seeing? Walls and walls of hair accessories!!! They have EVERY color of the rainbow. They have flowers (maribou!!), bows (rag and fur), headbands (crocheted, stretchy,cotton, adjustable), and bows made to match local high school colors.
Of course, I was in heaven, thinking of even more child equipment I could purchase. Once I tore my eyes away from the mountains of flowers, I saw their dance section (who hates buying new ballet shoes and leotards every year?), and their costume section, with things for girls AND boys. Their shoe section covers a large corner, with like new shoes in all sizes, with sport shoes, and sports equipment. There's also an infant section with baby equipment (carriers, baby linens, nursing covers) and maternity clothes! Brilliant! The children's clothes are from newborn to size 14.
Diva hats, baby legs (!), purses, and princess dresses.
If you are not familiar with Kid to Kid, they are not a consignment store (I had to have this explained to me), where you are paid for what you bring in only after they sell it. Kid to Kid gives you cash up front, or you can take a 20% increase in store credit (which never expires). So you can take in your stuff, Monday through Saturday, anytime between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., and they'll have a buyer available. No appt. necessary. There is also NO limit on the amount you can bring into sell (hello new garage!).
The owners are Jack and Ele Morgan, who started up their franchise in American Fork as a way to return to their home state, and as a way to benefit other families, who like them, were always on the hunt for stuff for their 4 kids. The Morgans love local vendors, and sell a huge variety of their brand new stuff like the hair accessories(!), matching ties for kids and dads, and beanies, to name a few.
They also donate items to an amazing organization called Gifts of the Heart Exchange, which organizes free events where student families can obtain clothing and other children's items that they need, thanks to wonderful donors. Check out their blog to see what you can do to participate.
Overall, ladies, this is a store for moms. The owners are people you can feel awesome about supporting, who in turn support our community. I came away with such a positive impression and excitement (and a little cash in my pocket!) about finding this store! If you need a baby shower gift, new Easter clothes for your kiddies, a new car seat, or your kids just want some new toys to play with, go check them out.
Important stuff:
1438 E Main St in Lehi (behind Texas Roadhouse) and yes, it's the AF store, but technically in Lehi.
Owners: Jack and Ele Morgan
