the best trade


I love to trade favors. Especially babysitting. I love finding that special someone who loves to trade babysitting just as much as me. I'm still looking for her in Boulder, but have found an excellent new source for long term trading in my SIL Allison. Today we traded babysitting (6 kids total) while each of us took a turn attending the temple. I knew my kids were safe and well cared for, I didn't have the stress of paying a sitter for 6 hours and my kids got to play with their cousins! Both Allison and I packed bags of tricks (aka playdoh, color books, bubbles, candy) to keep the kiddies happy and Allison even trekked with them all to a close by park.

A very happy day!

I only had that going good once- it was with laura bu. and we have like 5-6 hr trades! I miss it and have not found the same deal here no matter how much I try.

I'm just not trusting and can't get past it...ask Christy.

But for you guys that is awesome that you can find someone that will do trades like that. And bonus that it's with family :)
