Baby Shower Bargain

Josh — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:00:22 +0000

Your hostess needs games and supplies any way. Suggest a “make the coolest bib” contest. All that is needed are cheap, plain-jane cloth bibs in bulk and some fabric paint. Have guests design their own bib as they arrive and spread on table to dry. After everyone has finished his or her bib(s) vote on a winner and award the prize. Guests have fun. Mom gets a bunch of bibs. Type up a sheet of cute baby slogans typically found on bibs for ideas.

Stretch Mark Creams: Scam or Miracle?

Josh — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:00:13 +0000

Our vote: waste of money. There are lots of amazing claims out there, but when it comes down to it you would be better off spending your money elsewhere. We’ve gotten great results just using regular, everyday lotion through two pregnancies. But without being simultaneously pregnant in a duplicate body without using any lotion, there really is no way to tell for sure if things would have turned out the exact same anyway. If you want to use some lotion don’t waste money on expensive “maternity-specific” lotions, potions, and creams.

If You Can Only Buy One Book…

Josh — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 13:00:00 +0000

If you are a reader, it is very easy to buy multiple books on nursing/feeding your baby, multiple books on different sleep methods, multiple books on creating a structure or using an on-demand system, and on and on. Tracy Hogg does a phenomenal job in “Secrets of the Baby Whisperer: How to Calm, Connect, and Communicate with Your Baby.” Make this your first purchase after “What To Expect When You’re Expecting” and read it BEFORE you have your baby. It’s humorous and easy to read and like us, you might decide this is the only book you’ll need after baby is born. New is $7.99 and you can find used copies for half that. Try this and avoid bookshelves of books you don’t need.

Pregnancy Books

NEVER pay full price for a pregnancy book (or any book for that matter). Check your library first for free use. If you want to own it you can of course browse yard sales. But if you want it now, then online is your best bet. Everyone knows about ebay, but my favorite for books is http://www.Amazon.com. Do a search for the book you want. Under the listing you will see something like this: “Buy new for $24.95 or 17 Used from $7.95.” Click on the used and find one that is in Good or Like New condition. These are from independent sellers – not Amazon. You pay a flat shipping fee of $3.99. Many books can be found as low as $.01 plus shipping.

Mom 2 Mom sales Provide Baby Bargains in weak economy

Josh — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:00:51 +0000

Have you ever heard of a Mom 2 Mom sale? Apparently this has become quite popular in the Detroit area. I imagine with all the layoffs in the automobile industry it has forced some creativity to take place.

Here’s the idea:

You organize moms with kids outgrowing clothes and toys to gather together. It works sort of like a cross between a yard sale and a flea market. A local church or school hosts the event. They charge $10-$20 to rent a table and $1 admission to the sale-goers. A very simple concept and great way to provide bargains to new moms & dads from other moms & dads.

Consider organizing a Mom 2 Mom sale in your commuity.

Tummy Tubs Good or Bad?

Josh — Tue, 05 May 2009 21:15:11 +0000

Did anyone see the news story April 30th on the Today Show about Tummy Tubs? You can see the story here: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/30499759/. Basically the lady found this tub had been in use over in Europe since 1996, found a source in Canada who later went out of business. So then she started buying them 20 at a time from a manufacturer in Germany and kind of accidently started a business, stocking her basement full of Tummy Tubs.

But why all the fuss? Are tummy tubs a true baby bargain or just an expensive waste of money? I must admit that I find them strangely fascinating. However, I’m not convinced that being on a strict budge I would splurge for such a high priced tub to use for such a short time. If you go to her website you’ll see a message that she had to order more because of the exposure on the Today Show and orders won’t resume shipping until June. Apparently a lot of parents really like this idea. Let me know if you ordered one and what you think of it.
