Consignment Sales

In case you read us in your Reader, without looking at our other pages, I wanted to make a special note for you to check out our Consignment Sales page. We have updated all of the dates for the Spring Consignment sales, some of which have already happened, many of which are coming up in April.

We'd love any comments on bargains you've found! Consignment sales are a great place to find gently used items for MUCH cheaper than you would pay for them new.

Enjoy shopping!

Room to Romp

The YMCA of Northern York County offers a program called Room to Romp on Wednesday mornings at 9:30 in the old Dillsburg Middle School, off of Rt. 74. It is located in the school's gym, and offers a variety of free-play options for children 1-5. At $4 for one child, and $6 for a family of 2 or more children, it is one of the most affordable options we have found for burning off our cabin fever this winter.

There are some tumbling mats and toys for climbing, and a variety of ride-on toys available for the children to play with. There is also a small basketball hoop, which one of my sons is drawn to every week.

The workers will usually get a parachute out for 10 minutes or so at the end of each session, where they let the children shake, and sit in, and run under. This is also a big hit with my boys.

The program runs Wednesdays through April 27th.

Help with Ideas

I'm making another call out there for any ideas that you may have to share.  March can still be difficult with young children if the weather is not warm enough to play outside.  On the other hand, spring offers some new opportunities for activities that we may not have included on the blog yet.  If you have an idea, no matter how small you may think it is, please sent me an email.

Also, if you have found anything useful on this website, please let us know.  It's so exciting when we discover that our work on this blog has helped others!

Thanks!
