Apparently Euro-baby now has an outlet store and is selling several Red Castle Whizz strollers for peanuts (well in the stroller world anyway). They also have seat pads and several diaper bag styles atm. If you in the market for a 3-wheel stroller, check it out – http://myeurobaby.com.
“We are selling closeout items and overstocked goods here on this site. We’ll also use this website to post special deals and closeout/clearance merchandise from time-to-time, so check back frequently.”
I wrote a post about a week ago discussing stretch marks and their cause. I started in the cures section but my droopy eyes got to me and I never managed to finish it. Well now I have a HUGE incentive to do so. You see, my beloved Palmer’s Tummy Butter has turned against me: ( I guess it’s my changing chemistry or whatever but I put it on this morning and by mid-morning had a horrible, itchy rash all over my tummy. And well, we all know, being pregnant, your tummy is itchy already so imagine my misery!
It’s jump started me to finish my article and to also get off my tush and order from Mama Mio like I’ve been wanting to do. I’ve seen them mentioned in several parenting magazines as well as on other blogs so they at least have a leg up on the competition since I’ve heard of them. They’ve also been used by a lot of celebrities so if it’s good enough for them then it’s gotta be good enough for me, right? BONUS: They even offer a solution to existing stretch marks.
And I found a 15% off coupon so it makes it worth a shot! Enter coupon code “mamamio” to get the discount.
Read my first stretch mark post here.
Overstock is offering free shipping on kid’s furniture 2/22 – 2/24 so if you have eyeballing anything then be sure to take advantage of this offer! They have several convertible cribs, dressers, and changing tables if you are creating a nursery or twin and full size beds, dressers and desks if you creating a “big kid” room. I’m especially in love with the pint-sized children’s desk & chair set that comes as a plane, train or truck (pictured).

Mom 4 Life has several BellaBand colors that are now on clearance for just $19.99! This is a considerable savings off the normal retail price of $26.00. Of course free shipping applies as well making this an especially good deal.
Quantities are limited and when they are gone – they are gone! If you are not pregnant, keep in mind that BellaBands make a great gift to someone who is expecting and they can also be used simply to add the look of an extra layer and hold up/cover up low rise jeans. They can also be used to cover your torso while nursing!
Another option? If you’ve lost or gained a few pounds and don’t want to buy new pants – try these out they work wonders. At this price it’s worth a shot!
The weekly coupon for OSA is out. This time it’s for free shipping but carries a hefty price tag to go along with it – the minimum order is $85. Still, if you are shopping for a crib, stroller or other furniture you’ll easily beat that paltry sum, so hurry over and check out the deals.
“To receive free ground shipping on your order, you must meet the minimum purchase requirement of $85.00 and enter the code FRESHPBE in the “Promotion Code” field during checkout. It’s our thanks to you!”
This is quite possibly the best toy that we have had to date and will remain high on the list of fun AND educational toys for years to come. I bought this on the recommendation of a girlfriend and can’t say enough good things about it. The best part? It is equally loved by Anthony! Who can normally say that?
The entire set is magnetic and works well on a fridge or other magnetic surface. If you have a stainless steel fridge that it won’t stick to, don’t fret just grab a box and let the kids have fun pulling out letters. Our favorite letter is B because it is so fun to run around and say “B says BUH” 
It also sings the entire alphabet and really makes me smile over the way “Y” is sung.
Retail price is about $20 and you can purchase it at Kmart, Target and Babies R Us.
I’m trying something new here (well at least for me) and trying to meet more parents and kids using parenting groups. I don’t do really well walking into established groups since they seem rather clichy to me (imagination, who knows) but I’ve found one that just started and is in my neck of the woods. I’m doing my part to promote it so if you don’t live in my area be sure to check out meetup.com to see what else is out there.
When I attended BBC it was basically a built-in mommy/baby group and I miss the companionship of going and I know Anthony misses seeing people his own age. So I’m going to do my best to find a niche for us
We are going to this show in April. I thought maybe some of you would be interested so I wanted to pass along the information.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Eric Carle Favourites
Saturday, Apr. 12, 2008, 10:30 AM
Category: Saturday Morning For Kids
Tickets: $7
Kids? Carnival Come early for some morning fun featuring Circus Sarasota and stay after the show! There will be clowns, face painting, pony rides and games. Yummy food and beverages will be available!
The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Little Cloud and The Mixed-up Chameleon by award winning children’s book illustrator and writer, Eric Carle, retold on stage in black light. The Very Hungry Caterpillar follows the wonderful adventures of a very tiny and very hungry caterpillar that progresses through an amazing variety of foods towards his eventual metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly. Children will delight in the antics of Little Cloud. High up in a beautiful sky, Little Cloud slips away from the rest and transforms itself into various shapes of things it sees – a sheep, and airplane, a shark and more. In The Mixed-Up Chameleon, a little chameleon is bored with its life – sitting about predictably changing colour all day. So it decides to embark on an adventurous trip to the zoo. Upon seeing the beautiful animals there, the little chameleon tries changing to look like each one of them. Saturday Morning for Kids is Sponsored by Boar?s Head, WUSF Public Broadcasting and Herald Tribune Media Group.

Bediboo currently is having a sale on select skiphop duos (black, green camo and ocean stripe) in the older style. Priced at 1/2 off their normal price at $27. I have one of these in red and love it!
They have some really cute stuff in their sale section atm also. I like the idea of the Sammy Designs Little Pocket Snack Pouch for use with the older kids instead of Snack traps, since they seem to toss the lids on those.
Aren’t these simply adorable? Creating or changing a nursery just got easier! It’s too bad they don’t have any transportation themes available since I need to change the boys’ room around now that we will be having 2 cribs in there. Maybe they’ll have what you need…themes include garden, dino, jungle, under the sea, zoo animals and farm scenes.
