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. To register or shop (when the time comes), visit http://www.petuniaoutlet.com/register/

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!

Do you like Etsy and other home/hand-made items and feel great supporting a fellow mama? I do to! I’ve spent many a happy hour browsing through their wares to find the perfect something for the kiddos. Today, I found a great site (The Mama Log) that is dedicated to supporting mamas and getting the word out about their fabulous products. They are in the midst of a site re-design so it is somewhat disjointed right now but do check it out. Oh and spread the word.

Can you tell I’m going through my emails? It’s coupon code galore over here. Lowe’s is offering 10% off all in-store playsets over $299 and since today is the FIRST day of Spring, I thought it was appropriate to post. So go check out your local store and see what they have

I also heard last week thru the grapevine that some Home Depots have their $1000 wooden playground on clearance for $400 so it may be worth a stop in there too.

I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE to buy a huge playground for the boys but since we plan on moving in the next year or so I suppose I’ll wait until then, although HD is calling my name…..

Babyonthego.com is having a “secret” stroller sale thru April 1, 2009. Enter in code SPRING to receive 15% off strollers $150 and over.

I received a flyer in the mail yesterday to join the Disney Movie Club and after checking out their selection I think we’re going to give it a shot

Thanks to those of you who have made our seconds sale a huge success. There are still great deals to be found, so shop before they are gone! We have also added a few new bags that we’ve uncovered as the sale has gone on.

Like how great a deal??….How about a Fleurville Pink Chocolate MotherShip for $35.00!!?? This product was set up incorrectly on the first day, so if you tried to order and saw $60 instead of $35, check back now! As always, you get free shipping on orders $100 and over at Fleurville.com!
