"For me, the MamaCents (Mommy and Me Sale) is so rewarding due to the fact that there are several Mommies (Daddies and Grandparents, too!) out there that are not shopping re-sale by CHOICE, but by necessity. The fact that we can bring all of these items together at no out of pocket expense to the shopper (no cover charges, no admission fees) so that they can come and get terrific (and much needed) baby and kid items at a fraction of the original cost - and also extending the life of some gently used, and often much loved items for a second (or even third!) time around is priceless!"

-Jennifer (Mom to 4 kiddos)
