My first ever Facebook Marketplace purchase – a total success. I bought this adorable little rocking chair for poor little Owen who has no toys anywhere and hardly gets a lick of attention {Opposite day}. Since Owen thinks he’s a big boy who can hold his own bottle and thinks he can do a better [...]
