I am a home-school mother of three children (ages 5, 3, and 10 months). I began selling on eBay three years ago after the Lord convicted me to stop working as a personal trainer and stay home to be a full-time mother to my children.

To have a little extra spending money, I began selling some of my old dolls on the internet and found that it was profitable. First I went through my own boxes in the attic, but now I go to rummage and yard sales looking for some of these items to sell. I take my children with me as I teach them about money and saving.

Each week I spend about eight hours total. This time is divided between going to garage sales Friday and Saturday and preparing and listing the items on eBay Monday and Tuesday. I look for clothes and books for our own children and even homeschool items. I also am able to find other items that I can sell for profit. Through buying what we need at garage sales or using what I have earned on eBay, I have been able to buy all of our children's clothing, all of their home-school curriculum, plus gifts and special treats for our family.

This effort has been successful for me, and I hope that you may be encouraged to get organized and use the resources God has given you.   I have found that God knows exactly what we need and provides it if we just ask. If you have any questions and I can be of help, please email me. I am not a professional, just a mother finding ways to meet the needs of my family in a fun and educational way!
