WE'RE TWO MOMS who wanted a better solution for selling awesome kids items we all have in our homes.  We were tired of driving all over town to pick up items we were purchasing online and didn't always want to give out our home addresses for strangers to pick up items we were selling from our homes.  Many of our friends didn't want to have rummage sales of their own and were looking for more control in pricing the items they wanted to sell.   We wanted to create a solution for these problems and share that with caregivers in the Bismarck-Mandan area. 

OUR MISSION STATEMENT Later Gator Sales seeks to provide a friendly and safe environment for caregivers to sell and purchase gently used kids items.  We also seek to give back at each of our sales by working with charities within the state of North Dakota by collecting donations at our sale and donating unsold items at the end of each sale to a local thrift store and other families in need.

JEN is a Bismarck native who attended St. Mary's Central High School & University of Mary.  She and her husband, Bryan,  have two children, a daughter and a son.  They also have four cats who sometimes make appearances to visiting guests! When she isn’t prepping for Later Gator, Jen works in the kitchen for Light of Christ Schools. She is an avid reader and started a book club several years ago.

KRISTI is originally from St. Louis, Missouri.  She is a graduate of Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska.  Kristi and her husband, John, have two daughters and Kona, their 15 year old black lab.  After 18 years as a Lutheran School teacher and principal, she left the classroom to stay home with their daughters full time.  Besides keeping up with her family, she enjoys cooking, baking and traveling.  She is active in her MomCo (formerly MOPS) group, weekly Bible Study & helping with music at their church.

JEN & KRISTI met when we took an adoption class (along with our husbands) in the fall of 2011.  We reconnected several months later after we began raising our newborn daughters who happen to be just a few weeks apart in age!  We soon found that we had much more in common than our daughters!  We both love shopping for bargains with coupons and at rummage sales!  We hope you enjoy your Later Gator shopping and selling experience!  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions.
