Boy mom x2, critical care nurse, caffeine lover and bookworm extreme. All items come from a smoke-free, dog friendly home. I wipe clean all items prior to shipping to remove any unwanted dog hair. I do also sanitize the childrens books prior to storing them away. I try to ship daily and will notify you if there is to be a delay in shipping due to my work schedule at the hospital. Most items are either new or gently used. Unless otherwise stated. Thanks for looking!!
