Don't Lose Sight of these Sites!

Happy Tuesday Mommies!

Can you remember life before the Internet?  Ok, I actually can because it wasn’t that long ago (or maybe it was and I am just in denial).  When I was in high school I remember having to go to the library to work on research papers and actually check out BOOKS….you know those things with paper and typed words.  Then my senior year, second semester, our computers were upgraded and we were able to search other school libraries via something called the Internet!  What in the world did that mean?!  Didn’t matter, it meant I could print out books from other locations which made my life much easier.  And that my fellow mommies was my intro to what is now known as the World Wide Web/Internet.  Obviously I am dating myself here so be kind.  ;)

So in honor of my age and the Internet I thought I would talk about some of my favorite websites.  There really is no rhyme or reason to these sites other than I just love them and find myself on them at least once a week when I get a break from mommyhood (we know those are rare).  So here they are.

Etsy-If you haven’t heard of it you are missing out.  Ever want to buy a unique handmade gift?  Or have something made for your lil ones room?  Or maybe you are just looking for some cool handmade décor for your house?  Etsy is sure to have all of this!  The concept is simple.  Artists and vendors sell handmade goods in “shops” and you can order directly from them.  Think Ebay meets boutique stores.  I have ordered gifts for friends, SG’s nursery linens and curtains, jewelry, books, home décor, clothes and more from Etsy.  I love that you can contact the “shop” owners directly and more often than not they will even create custom orders for you.  And Etsy is limited to just new things, they have an entire section on vintage and antique items.  Great place to shop for that super unique item you just can’t seem to find anywhere.

All of the hats SG is wearing were from Etsy, as well as her bloomers and the infamous "Weepublican" onsie.

The roman shades, bird paintings, and framed prints were all purchased off of Etsy.

 

 

EtsyKids-WAIT, WHAT?!  Now there is an EtsyKids which I just discovered.  Same as the above but now all shop owners who sell kid items are in one location!!!!  There are tons and tons of uber cute finds here ranging from clothes, toys, linens and even furniture. LOVE!

 

RookieMoms.com-OMG, I love this site.  The basic premise is two mommies got together and developed a site focusing on activities to do with your lil one.  They break the site down by age groups.  And no I am not talking go to the zoo or let’s go outside and do some chalk drawings (neither of which I am knocking---because let’s face it these are super fun activities too), I am talking about fun creative ideas we may not all have the energy to come up with.  Case in point: “Spend a week in Austin” or “Go to a theatre where baby crying IS allowed” or “Host an ugly baby clothes contest” (confession, I think I am going to do the last one).  In addition to activities they give tips for mommies, crafts, ideas and lots more.  They even break things down by state (of course Texas has it’s own tab…c’mon we’re Texas).  The mommies are two real moms just like you and me and they keep things pretty real which I love.

Babycenter.com-I started following Babycenter when I was first prego.  However, I found this site to be more helpful after SG was born.  Why?  The Babycenter has a HUGE community or birth month clubs.  I cannot  tell you how many times I have sought the advice of other mommies in the middle of the night from our birth club…and they answer---because they are up feeding in the middle of the night too!  I also love their community boards.  Ever have a question about baby and type it into Google, about 99% of the time a link to Babycenter will come up.  Great site and if you want to sign up for weekly emails you can do that too. 

TheBabySleepSite.com-I’ve talked about this one before (see my post Counting Sheep and Catching ZZZZZZSSSS ) and I’ll talk about it again.  This is an amazing company that I swear by.  They helped SG sleep through the night without a paci and now she sleeps from 7:30 PM-7:30 AM…straight!  In addition to there amazing services you will find a lot of fab advice and tips (sleep related) in their weekly newsletter.  Thanks to them our lil SG wakes up super happy...she takes after her daddy...such a morning person. 

Sleeping beauty.

 

 

GraciouslySaved-This is a blog I follow and I just LOVE how the author, Stephanie is a mommy just like me and she talks about everything from her experiences, to cooking, to tips and so much more.  It's so fun when you start following a blog because you start to feel like you really know someone.  Plus it's funs to follow a mommy who has a lil one close in age to SG.  The best part...lots of pics of her lil cutie.  Who doesn't love looking at pics of lil ones?!

These are just a few of my favs and I hope you will find one or all of them useful or helpful.  Oh and hyperlinks are included in each site title above (bold and underlined).  If you have any sites that you recommend I would love you to comment and share with everyone! 

Hang ten and happy web surfing!

Bargain Shopping for the Bargain Addict

So who doesn’t love a good bargain?  I would say that no matter what your economic status or social status is a good bargain makes the soul feel good!  Wouldn’t you agree?  Many of you know that I LOVE a good deal.  I have tried my hand at couponing (it’s a lot of work but if you’re committed it really works).  I have signed up for freebies and lots of great offers.  I am ALWAYS on the hunt for the easiest form of shopping (AKA—online shopping is the BEST).  If free shipping is offered, I’m taking it!  I just love a good deal.  Maybe it started because before my mom remarried I saw her work two jobs just to make sure I was provided for and taken care of. I saw her manage her money like no one else.  She was a whiz at it!  She taught me the art of frugality and I carried that through with me pretty much my entire life (except for those rare occasions when I splurge on some fab shoes or a purse---but those days are limited now that I am a mommy).  Some people feel a surge of happiness with a good shopping spree.  Well I do too; but only when I know I've walked out saving some $$$.  A feel euphoric when I feel like I got a good deal.  And I LOVE when someone asks me..."where did you get that, it must have been so expensive?" and I get to reply, "OMG, I got the BEST deal on this, it was so cheap!!!"

All this said, a lot of friends have asked me how and where I shop for such amazing deals.  So here you go, here are my secrets.  I know there are tons more yet to be discovered so feel free to share your shopping secrets too!

Amazon

Ok if there was a frequent shopper program or rebate program Amazon might go bankrupt on me alone.  I am in LOVE with Amazon, not in like, in LOVE.  Be prepared for LOTS of caps and lots of exclamations.  I’ve been known to say Amazon is my best friend.  Sorry Husband.  J

 

So here’s the 411 on a few Amazon related topics.

• Amazon Prime-Annual Membership ($75) which earns you free shipping on thousands of products and discounted expedited shipping.  This membership pays for itself within a few orders for me.
• Amazon Mom-This program was recommended to me by other mommies.  It is a free program offered as an extension to regular Amazon.  In short, you sign up, choose products you use on a regular basis (i.e. diapers, formula, wipes, etc.) and have them delivered to you on a regular basis (every other month, once a month, etc.).  In return Amazon extends an additional discount (starting at 5%) which increases the more items you sign up for.  The BEST part is there is no obligation and you can cancel or change items anytime you want before the cutoff.  Speaking of the cutoff, busy mommies can’t remember everything so Amazon takes care of it for you.  They will email you a reminder.  If you want your order to be shipped as is, do nothing.  If you want to alter or cancel it just click on the link in the email.  Easy peezy!  I use this for SG’s diapers, wipes, Diaper Genie refills, detergent, dog food, fabric softener and more.
• Amazon App-Super easy to use app.  Once you set up an account you can shop and ship with one click---BEWARE, this gets very dangerous.  When SG was just a tiny lil nugget I used to make it through middle of the night feedings and waking by shopping online.  Great example for SG but I got a lot done during those late nights!
• Compare Prices-I will price compare just about everything to Amazon.  They have an amazing app that will let you search by name or even barcode (you scan the barcode with your smart phone) to price shop.  For example, you are in Target and are about to buy a Baby Bjorn---check Amazon first by scanning in the barcode and they automatically search their system and compare your price at Target.  GENIUS!!!  This has saved me MANY times.

Costco

We have an Executive Member to Costco which we pay $100 a year for.  I know, I know, sounds like a lot but we earn money back for every purchase made.  We literally always get at least $100 back at the end of the year from Costco so the membership ends up paying for itself.  Be forewarned, if you have never joined a club before you WILL go crazy at first.  Just ask my husband who on his first trip spent $400…and he was living alone back then.  You will try the delish snacks that are being sampled and think, “ooooh I totally need 1,000 mini hotdogs rolled in pretzel,” or “who doesn’t need 2,000 trash bags?”  The trick is to be smart here.  I wouldn’t recommend produce unless you are throwing a big party and know you will be eating that entire bag of 20 avocados before they get too ripe.  I WOULD recommend paper products or staples (detergent, soaps, toothpaste, etc.).  I would also recommend buying baby formula here.  Costco has the larger size of SG’s formula (34 oz. Similac powder which makes 61/4 oz. bottles or right around 30/8 oz. bottles) and the price per unit is some of the cheapest I have found.  The 34 oz or 2.12 lb tub will run approximately $32.  You can also buy a pack of three for $94.99 (which breaks down to $31.67 per tub).

 

 

Walmart

Ooh I love me some Walmart.  I found out that Walmart also has the lowest cost of SG’s formula (compared to Target, HEB, Kroger, Babies R Us).  Here you can purchase a regular size (22.72 oz or 1.42 lb.) tub of formula for $23.98 (more expensive per unit than Costco but still a good price).  The other great thing about buying formula at Walmart is they accept consumer coupons.  I signed up for Similac coupons via their website and just about every month I receive three $5 off coupons.  Once I combine these with the low price at Walmart then becomes the cheapest in town.  Oh and you can redeem up to three coupons at one time at Walmart (Target only allows two).  I also found that Walmart’s Gerber baby food is cheaper.  I buy Gerber organic baby food to supplement for when we have run out of homemade food and Walmart’s prices start at $0.98 for two cups to $1.12.  I also like to buy Earth’s Best baby food and cereal and they are cheaper at Walmart as well.  Oh and recently I have been purchasing LOTS of teething rings and toys and Walmart is hands down the cheapest.  They also have their own line of baby clothes and toys called Garanimals.  I LOVE this line!  I bought SG 5 summer rompers (super cute) for $6 each.  The clothes are fab for casual outfits and we all know how fast these lil guys grow so who wants to spend a leg and an arm for wear one time couture?  Oh and Walmart offers free shipping on tons of essentials or for minimum purchases.



The Garanimals brand makes toys and clothes.

Another $6 romper.

Target

Can anyone walk into a Target and not walk out having spent at LEAST $50?!  Am I the only one?  Certainly I can’t be.  I often refer to Target as the black hole of shopping.  You walk in needing some toilet paper and you walk out with a new wardrobe, new home décor, and tons of other “essentials.”  Target has started something very similar to CVS where upon purchasing featured items you earn money back.  This makes me a very happy momma.  For example, Tide detergent, Bounty paper towels and Charmin toilet paper are featured.  If you purchase 2 units you earn a $5 gift card.  Say you purchase 2 of each…you can earn three gift cards (although I believe they put a limit on these).  So what do I do?  I purchase the items which earn me cash back and then I make them ring up my second batch of purchases and use my gift cards towards that purchase.  It’s completely awesome!  One time I combined gift cards with my Similac coupons and was able to buy 4 tubs of Similac for the price of 1!  I also love Target for baby clothes.  They have tons of super cute outfits but my fav line is their Circo line which starts at $4 per outfit/unit.  I can’t tell you how many of these I have purchased for SG. 

Super cute onsies by Circo.

SG in a $8 Circo find.  Adorbs dress with built in bloomers.  Circa 1989...mommy likey!

 

CVS

See Target’s earn money back program….CVS does the same and sometimes you can earn even more back.  I have been known to combine CVS’s program, coupons and discounts earned via their frequent shopper program and save up to 60% off my entire purchase.  My brother has saved up to 80%. 

There are tons more money saving ideas I can share but this should get us started for now.  Keep in mind that deals/programs are constantly changing and may differ by city BUT there are ALWAYS deals to be had.  And when in doubt research online for coupons or coupon codes.  One of my favs is RetailMeNot.com. 

In the meantime happy shopping and stay frugal!

SG's 1st Easter-and mommy's lesson learned...

Hi Mommies,

 

I am so sorry I haven't posted in awhile.  Things got a bit hectic with family in town but I did want to share a quick post about SG's 1st Easter.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter as well!

 

When I was a little girl our family did not really attend church on a regular basis. I often went with my childhood best friend and her family. One of my favorite times at church was always Easter. Of course I also loved Easter because that meant Easter baskets, presents and CANDY! I always had visions of the amazingly elaborate baskets I would put together for my children. Baskets overflowing with candy and toys.  I had envisioned this for SG’s 1st Easter.  Although, like many things in life I had to learn the hard way that huge baskets, perfect outfits and big spectacles don’t always = the perfect Easter. Here is how SG’s 1^st Easter really went.

                     

Sadly, I must admit that I did not make a basket for SG. I have been so busy between my job, my photography business and just trying to spend as much time with SG in my free time that I never got around to putting it together. I was so sad when I woke up Sunday morning thinking about how I had failed.  What would my daughter think?  I didn’t even put anything together for her!  I did buy her a few items but never really put it all together.  Tragedy #1.
 

After stressing over the perfect outfit for all of us to wear (we had to match of course!) I made sure SG’s hair was perfectly coiffed.  We were finally ready and out the door with my parents and in-laws. After arriving to church I pulled SG out of her car seat I noticed her hair was a disaster!  And her bow just didn’t want to stay in place.  Boo---tragedy #2.
 

 Then as we are walking in SG decides it is the perfect time for a big poopy diaper (this kid literally only poops at home---never while we are out).  Of course I immediately stress out…her outfit!!1  Thank goodness we barely missed ruining the gingham outfit (I kid you not she was about 1” away from a major blowout!) I had searched high and low for, for weeks.  I took her to the family restroom to change her where tragedy #3 happened---poo on mommy.  Ugh, this was the dumbest Easter ever!

 

 Finally, we dropped the lil Nuggy off at nursery school and we entered the sanctuary for service.  Our Pastor gave an AMAZING (actually all his sermons are amazing) sermon.  He told us that just as God made us his priority we are to do the same.  The day starts with Him and ends with Him.  He also reminded us to remember the true meaning of Easter.  I sat there…guilt and shame swept over me.  From the moment I woke up I was stressed, disappointed and annoyed at the most mundane things.  Things that didn’t matter.  I had completely missed what Easter was all about. So what if Easter brunch wasn’t perfect?  So what if I didn’t make SG a huge Easter basket?  So what if her hair was less than perfect (she has a natural bump it with all that volume in her hair J)?  So what if I got poo on me (I mean I did have hand sanitizer).  I had forgotten what Easter was truly all about.  I decided to change my attitude right then and there and thanked God for helping me to realize that Easter is more than all these things; it is about celebrating Jesus and family!
 

 As soon as my attitude changed everything went great.  Brunch wasn’t perfect and that was ok.  SG didn’t need an Easter basket and enjoyed the books I bought her very much.  And the greatest gift I can give my daughter is showing her what I value above all else…God.  Her bow came off and I let that bed head run wild!  And the poo…well c’mon that’s a badge of honor!
 

 So after all my stressing at the end of the day I reflected back on SG’s first Easter and realized it was just as it should have been.  She was surrounded by both sets of grandparents (and was literally NEVER put down between the four of them) and her daddy and I.  I know that even though there was no basket for her to open she felt loved.  We spent the day playing with her and loving on her as much as possible.  That night as I fed her and rocked her I thought about God’s sacrifice---giving his only son so that we could be forgiven.  I thought about Mary watching her son be tortured and crucified and the excruciating pain she must have felt.  It brought tears to my eyes as I held my sweet Sofia Grace in my arms.  I was reminded that it is because of God’s grace that I was able to spend such an amazing day with my daughter.  After all, there is always next year to work on a basket but at least this year I was able to “fill her basket” in another way and I hope I always remember that. The day was an imperfect day---which was perfectly fine with me.
 

 Here are some photos from SG’s first Easter.

 

Husband couldn't wait until was SG old enough to sit on his shoulders.  SG obviously loves it.

 

The loves of my life....complete with a lil drool for effect.  :)

Don't be down on Down's!

World Down Syndrome Day is on 3/21 to represent the 3rd copy of the 21st chromosome

 

Today is 3/21.  Sounds just like any other day…but it’s definitely not.  Today is World Down’s Syndrome Day, the 8^th anniversary of WDSD. 

 

In October 2011 my childhood best friend went into labor with her first child, a son named Burke.  Just like all parents Olivia and her husband Keith were brimming with excitement to meet their lil man.  They had meticulously planned and prepared for his arrival and the day had finally arrived during Game 1 of the World Series.  That night Olivia checked into the hospital and all seemed completely fine and normal. After a whirlwind labor the proud parents welcomed the newest love of their lives.  Here is an excerpt from daddy, Keith’s blog:

 

Our son, Burke Logan Askin, was born on 10/20/11 at 5:01am. He weighed a healthy 6 lbs and 7 oz. He was 19 inches long. The doctor that pulled him out (he literally pulled him out with the vacuum) said he was a beautiful baby boy and looked good and healthy. NICU nurses were at the bedside, because Burke’s heart rate dropped a little too low each time mama pushed; thus the necessity of the vacuum. NICU nurses assessed him and they agreed he was a happy healthy baby. They were, however, a little concerned about his blood sugar levels and so they tested him twice. They prefer for the levels to be anywhere between 50 and 200. The first test was 49, the second 47. The NICU nurse told us she was taking him to the nursery to give him formula. Something about if it dropped too low, it’s harder to stabilize, etc. We were intent on nursing, so we were a little frustrated, but it didn’t seem like this was optional. Daddy went with him and Olivia’s parents stayed with her.

 

After running more tests, a shift change and LOTS of time Olivia and Keith were blindsided with news that would change the course of their lives forever:

 

The nurses attending to Olivia came in and told her we’d be making our way up to her recovery room and that they’d swing us by the NICU on the way to see little Burkester. Then 8:10 rolled around. 8:15…8:20…time was crawling and no one was coming to move us, tell us what was going on with Burke or anything. Finally, a neonatologist (Dr. Bennett) and a nurse practitioner showed up and started explaining his blood sugar and oxygen saturation situation. Both seemed pretty common, easy to get under control, just took time. Olivia was already in her wheelchair to be transported to her room. I was standing behind her rubbing her neck; it hurt from the labor/pushing process. After the blood sugar/oxygen explanation, Dr. Bennett said there was one more thing. Several markers gave them a pretty strong suspicion that Burke had Down Syndrome.

Since I was standing behind Olivia and rubbing her shoulders, I couldn’t tell what her reaction was. Then a tear drop hit my hand…another, then another…There I was confused all over again. This time the confusion had company: sadness, fear, anger. I tried my hardest to keep it together for Olivia, but my heart was breaking inside. What did this mean for my little guy? The guy I’d been dreaming of for nine months. In the matter of an hour, our worlds had turned upside down. The doctors and nurses gave us a moment to be alone and we wept together.

 

Olivia and Keith’s worlds was turned upside down that day and the word “normal” would now take on a new meaning for them.  The life they had envisioned was now different and the life they envisioned for Burke was nothing like they had imagined.  I have watched Olivia over the past year show a level of strength and courage that I have never known and one that I likely do not have.  She has dealt with emotions that she wishes no mother would ever have to deal with.  I have heard the pain in her words and heard her speak of her sadness, fears and anxieties. And through it all she has been very raw and honest with her feelings.  I have always admired my dear friend but since Burke’s birth I have grown to admire her even more.  One of the main reasons I so admire Olivia is that even though she, Keith and Burke are faced with some adversity she has channeled that adversity into a fight for DS research.  And while there is no “cure” for DS she is determined to help the progress of research.

Momma's boy.

Proud Poppa.

 

That’s where World Down’s Syndrome Day comes in.  This particular day is, of course, dedicated to global awareness of DS.  The organization encourages people all over the world to help raise awareness of what DS is, what it means to have DS, and how people with DS play a vital role in our lives and communities.  This is a day of awareness and celebration!  In typical Olivia style she has poured her heart and mind into supporting DS research and educating herself on any type of study, trial, etc.  In fact she just shared some amazing news with me about two drug trials (one in the US and the other that just started in Australia) that have had staggering results in terms of what they could do for cognition in people with DS.  Here are her words regarding the drug trials:

 

If the drugs are as effective as the researchers believe (based on the mice trials), he may able to learn and comprehend at the same level as his peers! You can't "cure" Down syndrome obviously but these drugs may mean that more people with Down syndrome are able function independently and to possibly decrease the odds of Alzheimer's (it's thought that if a person with Ds lives long enough, the will ALWAYS get Alzheimer's with symptoms starting as early as 40!).

I can honestly say that if they can give Burke a drug that would enable him to learn the same way as his peers, my fear about his future will be gone! I don't need him to go to college or make $50K a year, I need him to be able to function as a grown man and have a life that I dreamed of for him when I was pregnant. Some people with Ds are able to do that without pharmacology but many are not.

I just had to include this picture.  A mother's love...nothing like it!

 

So today, I ask my mommy friends to show your support.  Whether you repost this on your Facebook page, forward this blog post to friends, visit the sites I have included or donate to the cause we would love your support.  And because today, 3/21 is World Down’s Syndrome Day there are some great partners matching donations 3:1! 

 

Now the fun part…how can you join the cause and help?  Well it’s super easy.  You can either visit the Down’s Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation (DSTRF),Olivia’s favorite group dedicated to furthering cognition in people with DS, to make a donation OR if you want to help and purchase a treat for your lil one you can do so by visiting Discovery Toys, a partner site (awesome toys focused on improving your child’s development).  This Discovery Toys rep will donate 21% of her sales to DSRTF and for all sales on March 21^st and her donation will also be matched 3:1!

 

 

 

Sweet Burke...time to celebrate you on 3/21!

 

I hope you will join in spreading awareness and supporting this cause.  Here are a few photos of Olivia, Keith and Burke as well as one last note from Olivia.

 

Even with the shock and sadness of a diagnosis of Down Syndrome, we are happy. Sure we have rough days but are they any more rough than a parent would have with a "typical" child?  Burke is funny and adorable and brings us an amazing amount of joy that we could never have imagined!  And he's probably the easiest baby on the planet.  Hellooo, my kid slept through the night from birth (if we let him!). Down Syndrome comes with some scary statistics and potential health issues but there are so many positives that come along with it too.

That smile never gets old, heartbreaker!

 

Such a beautiful family!  Love how hard Burke is laughing in this one!

 

Looking for kisses from daddy.

 

 

And for more information on DS you can visit the National Down’s SyndromeSociety or Keith’s blog (he’s a fab writer and will definitely keep you entertained).  Olivia has even offered to answer any questions via email (please post if you would like me to send you her email address).  We would love to see your support via comments to this post too!  If we get just ONE repost or donation than we have made a difference!

 

Thank you and happy World Down’s Syndrome Day!!!

Google Reader going...going...gone

Hi Mommies,

Just a quick Tuesday post.  For most of us who blog we also follow a lot of blogs and likely keep up with our favorite blogs on Google Reader.  Come June this year Google Reader will sadly be no more.  Boo dat!  But there is good news.  One of the blogs I followed mentioned a good alternative to follow your favorite blogs.  Take a peek at the link for deets.  Oh and be on the lookout for MommasNuggets to move to a dot com name only.  :)

Have a great day ladies!
