Cool Swapping Sites: Zwaggle, Swaptree

From Cool Mom Picks:

Zwaggle is a brand new site especially for momstuff-swapping. It's a very cool cash-free world where you can donate your old exersaucers and strollers in exchange for the stuff you'd rather have today. While there's not an enormous selection just yet, we hear the landfills are giving Zwaggle two thumbs up.

Another resource is Swaptree which helps you trade books, cds, dvds and games for ones you'd rather have. You just list what you've got, list what you want instead, and they'll do the matchmaking for you. The cost? Nada. Only the hit your ego takes when you admit publicly that you have the entire Danielle Steele library in hardcover.

Now go get rid of some stuff. You know you need to make room for Harry Potter VII.


I am looking forward to uncluttering some of our household stuff, and this looks like a perfect venue to do it.

Plant Trees + Stop Junk Mail = Green Dimes

I just found this web site to deal with my huge junk mail problem: GreenDimes. For a dime a day they get your name off direct mailing lists and keep it off, and plant a tree for you every month. So if you want to stop your mailbox from overflowing, and save some trees, take a look at GreenDimes. Note: I have noticed a HUGE reduction in the amount of junk mail I have been getting!
