Urban Mamas

Hi, my name is Rose, I am flying with my 15 months to Europe next week and I am looking to rent a CARES harness for the trip. We will  be returning on March 26th, that is when I would be able to return it.

My email is soizicalberti@gmail.com

Thanks

Cheers

Rose

My husband and I are doing some downsizing and we have a new twin bed (less than a year old) frame and mattress that we do not need. Frame is metal and comes with four screws for securing. Easy assembly. We're letting it go for $100 obo. Email us at liladventurers@gmail.com or text 503.381.5577 if interested. Thanks!

Start cleaning your houses, basements, and garages of unwanted items and hard to recycle (non-curbside) recyclables so you can bring them to the annual Richmond Neighborhood Clean-up!

Did you know that the Richmond Cleanup is a win-win event for everyone involved? Not only do YOU get an affordable, centrally located location to get rid of unwanted items such as obsolete electronics or bulky block Styrofoam, but the Richmond Neighborhood also gets the opportunity to fundraise and support the neighborhood events you enjoy throughout the year!  Every car (or bike trailer!) that comes to the parking lot that day helps raise funds to support events such as Movies in the Park!

Don’t have any stuff to get rid of? Well you should still plan to drop by because back again this year are the ever-popular Plant Sale/Swap and U-Price it Sale!  The Plant Sale/Swap gets bigger each year and is a great opportunity to get affordable plants for your yard. The U-price is sale is an enormous neighborhood garage sale that overflows with usable household items that need a new home! Both are not to be missed!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED. This event is only possible thanks to the fabulous support of our neighbors who give their time on Clean-up day to help divert people and stuff to their appropriate locations. We are always looking for enthusiastic folks who want to help out so please get in touch so we can add you to our list! (We’ll provide tasty food and beverages for your time!)

Dear UrbanParents/Caretakers,

As a nanny, I know that your time is valuable and that it is sometimes difficult to get out to run errands with little ones in tow. In addition to caring for some really adorable almost-3-year-olds, I run an all-purpose delivery service in Portland called Whatchoo Need.

We really are all-purpose: We'll be glad to pick up dinner from your favorite place, bring you supplies (diapers! wipes!), grab the few grocery items that you can't quite motivate for, scoop up that rad play pen you found on craigslist when you don't have the time to drive out to Beaverton, drop off your old toys at goodwill, whatever you need!

We charge extremely low delivery fees, enough to cover gas/wear and very very minimally time/labor, and rely on tips, in order to keep our service as accessible as possible. E-mail us at whatchooneed@gmail.com with questions or to place an order, or go ahead and try us out by texting 423.304.8407! (I'm happy to provide more personal information about myself and the other delivery folks, just write with questions!)

Thanks, looking forward to helping you out! We're on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000535624074 and wordpress: whatchooneed.wordpress.com

YES, that's right, i am doing my semi-annual purging of the stuff. this stuff feels like it is swallowing my home, but perhaps you have a place for an item or two (or 10 or 20, who am i to argue?) here you will find tons of new and lightly used toys, baby slings, clothes, furnishings, and other items...

i am constantly updating my craigslist ad and also have a TON of clothes (newborn-5 boy, newborn-10 girl, and teen/ladies/juniors small and medium) and shoes (same size range), and books and toys that i have not individually listed yet. also have a big dresser with a mirror attached and some kitchen appliances/ gadgets that i may be persuaded to sell! also a breast pump, petunia picklebottom diaper bag, little tikes slide and other outdoor items...

please let me know if you're needing anything, listed or not!

Hi there, we are cramped for space and I must send my daughter's dresser on to a new home. It's very nice, only lightly used, all wood, made by Baby's Dream.  It's a baby dresser, meant to double as a changing table on top. Please email me at erin.woolley@gmail.com if you are interested and I can send pics! I'm open to an offer on the price, but would like to get somewhere in the neighborhood of $250 for it.  Thanks!
