I recently saw a post that the store, Funny Bugs Specialty Toy Store is closing so I cyber-ran on over to check it out! A fairly large sum of money later, I am set for craft projects, birthdays, and Christmas for several kids. And I am one happy camper! Free shipping is automatically applied on orders over $100. Merchandise is 40-80% off. They have a lot of Melissa and Doug items, especially doll house stuff so be sure to check it out for your little ones!

I recently purchased the set of American Girl DVDs for my niece and have uncovered the following that is American Girl-driven. A free AG.com shipping code that expires October 31st is out.

American Girl is also running a sale on books and games, with some as low as $2. So combine the two and what a major score!

Kids? Clutter? It goes hand-in-hand but I am taking a stand! (Ok well at least for the moment. lol) With the upcoming holidays and really, who couldn’t use a little extra money for that? And then there is this little pesky thing called..we are moving in early 2010. Add that altogether and I am trying my best to de-clutter and remove unwanted or forgotten items sooner rather than later. So….that means I’ve been on the prowl to find ways to sell stuff other than eBay (which is getting to expensive for me) and Craigslist.

Enter Kidzola. I just found this site in a blurb in November issue of Parents magazine. I submitted one toy, a FP fish crib toy to see how the system works.

I also tested out bonazle last week and sold a FP Sing-a-long Stage within days of advertising it. The money went straight into my paypal account. A definite A for that site!

PPB has announced their fall outlet sale where you can save 30-60% off retail. There are certified seconds and the discontinued items available at each sale. Obviously inventory varies. I, personally, have purchased two certified second touring totes and did not find any identifiable problem with them.

I received the below email from Fleurville today. If you are in the area, I strongly suggest a quick jaunt through the sale. On a side note, I heard a rumor that they have been bought out so that may be the reason for this sale. Either way, it couldn’t hurt to look

Land of Nod is having a sale on Britax car seats (IMO I recommend them highly, we have a Frontier and a Roundabout). $50 off and free shipping. What more is there? Go check it out and see if they have what you are looking for. Sale ends October 18, 2009.

I got it! I got it! The long awaited bag for my beloved Phil & Ted’s Sport stroller is here! For those of you wondering what I’m talking about here’s a link with more info for you -Mr. B stroller bag.

I originally wanted the Black/Charcoal option but Lets Go Strolling was out of it when I placed my order so I agreed to go with the Red/Charcoal option. Lucky for me, my stroller is red so it wasn’t that much of a hardship.

First impressions: It seems like a basic bag with a minimum of fuss. There are outside pockets on either end that will hopefully fit a sippy (haven’t tried yet but I’ll report back) and a zipper compartment. Inside is just as simple. It will easily hold the stuff that I will be carrying it for such as snacks, a few diapers, wipes and mama’s stuff. This bag’s sole purpose will be for when I’m running errands and need the stroller’s full capabilities.

I put it on my stroller earlier today to take pictures and it does fit nicely. However, the bottom clip they claim works with the clip on the 2nd rider’s seat does not. The clip on the P&T seat is smaller and will not attach. My GF is coming over tomorrow so I’m going to have her look at it to make sure that I’m not doing something wrong. It’s happened before after all Luckily I am average height so I don’t need to have the handlebar too far in either direction and it works for me. It also fits nicely with the BOB parent console that I’m using.

Here are a few more pictures. Happy Strolling

One of my favorite stores, Let’s Go Strolling (where I bought 2 Phil & Ted’s Sport from), is having a clearance event! Make all of your dollars count in this tough economy and go check out the kick-butt sale that is going on. If you’ll notice the Mr. B stroller bagspecifically for the P&T…yea I’m trying that out. I’ll post a review after I give it a shot.

Also check out their fabulous selection of Open Box Items at a great discount.

An open box item is either a customer return that is unused, but has been opened and put together, or a box that was opened to show a customer a color and has been repackaged - sometimes in another box.

Either way - this is a fabulous opportunity for you to shop top products at fabulous savings between 10-30%.  Keep in mind that open box purchases are final sale so call them if you have any questions prior to ordering!

Expires March 22nd
