The Modern Day Treasure Hunt: Thrift and Consignment Store Shopping

in brands, families, family outing, parenting, reviews, savings, shopping on 09/01/14

As a wife, mother and business owner, quality and affordability are paramount.  Families are always looking for ways to save money and not sacrifice on quality. A trend that has experienced a recent resurgence is shopping at consignment and thrift stores. Consignment and thrift stores can sometimes be an overlooked but great resource for unique and hard-to-find items.

These stores carry heavily discounted clothing that allow consumers to save money on everyday merchandise, including brand name clothing as well as videos, CDs, DVDs, books, furniture and appliances. It is not unusual to find out-of-print and vintage pieces of major designers like Vera Wang, Gucci, and Chanel at very affordable prices. Thrift stores sell new or gently used merchandise that are donated to the store. Consignment stores sell similar items on behalf of the owner for a modest fee.

Consignment and thrift stores sell such a large variety of items that shopping can quickly turn into a treasure hunt for designer labels and trendy attire. The store management team carefully regulates the inventory to ensure that any merchandise, whether donated or sold, be in working condition, clean and stain-free. It is not uncommon to find new clothing, with price tags still attached, that have been donated because their previous owner no longer likes the color, does not fit into the garment or received it as an unwelcome Christmas or birthday present.

The holidays can be beautiful… but for many grieving parents — especially special needs parents — this season hurts in ways most people never see.

Between disrupted routines, sensory overload, and the ache of missing someone you love, December can feel overwhelming. And here’s what most don’t realize:

Nearly HALF of Christians stop attending church after losing a loved one… not because they’ve lost their faith, but because they feel the church doesn’t know how to walk with them through grief.
These families aren’t leaving God —
they’re leaving because they feel unseen in their pain.

As someone who advocates for families of ALL abilities, I’m sharing a new blog post today on how we can support grieving loved ones — especially special needs parents — with compassion, faith, and presence this holiday season.

If someone in your life is grieving, please don’t stay silent.
Say their loved one’s name.
Offer specific help.
Create space for their emotions.
Pray with them.
Walk with them — gently, consistently, faithfully.

Because no parent should have to grieve alone during the holidays.

🏆 Earlier this week, I was once again filled with thankfulness, love, and faith. 
🏆 I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Home Health Care USA for naming me the “Latina American Caregiver of the Year!” 
🏆 Caregivers are among the unsung heroes in our society, and there are many different types of caregivers. For instance, the “Sandwich Generation” refers to individuals who are caring for both their aging parents and their children simultaneously. These caregivers often provide physical, emotional, and financial support. More than 50% of Americans in their 40s and 50s are currently caring for both their children and their senior parents—and usually without any help from extended family. 
🏆 Some caregivers dedicate their entire lives to caring for a child—or children—with disabilities into adulthood. Unfortunately, many caregiving parents or family members do not get a break or have quality time for themselves. About 50% of couples with special needs or neurodiverse children end up getting divorced. 
🏆 Having experienced both of these caregiving situations and still living within them, being named “Latina American Caregiver of the Year” means more to me than just an award. It symbolizes the millions of unpaid caretakers across the country who provide loving, effective care for family members or friends. 
🏆 I also want to extend my gratitude to all those who have followed my caregiving journey the past 17 years, including my care for my beloved late parents and my superhero, Joshua, on my social channels, Mami of Multiples, and Dr. Joscelyn Ramos Campbell. The BEST is yet to come! 🙌 
🌎 Lastly, congratulations to all my fellow winners standing on stage. Your work in your communities helps make the world a better place!
