Tips for Saving Money on Diapers

Tired of sifting through all your Google searches to find deals on baby gear? This quick guide will give you a shortcut step in the bargain direction so you can start saving ASAP.

Diapers:
Every baby needs them, yet no one likes paying the slowly escalating prices for them. Do you realize that every time your child moves up a size in disposable diapers, you get fewer diapers per package for the same price?
Let us save a few dollars per package off the top for you so you have a heavier wallet at the end of the year.

With a free membership to Amazon's mom centered email list, Amazon Mom, not only will you have updates on exclusive discounts on name brand diapers and baby products sent right to your email, but with the Subscribe and Save Delivery you receive 30% off diapers and wipes.

You can also save on bulk diapers at sites like Diapers.com. They offer free 1-2 day shipping and free returns 365 days a year. New members receive 3 months of diapers at 30% off!

If you prefer picking up diapers at a brick and mortar store then coupon websites will help you save money. Here are some sites that we like for their easy to navigate coupon databases:

Dealsfordummies.com
Bargainbriana.com
Athriftymom.com

However, I have to say I stopped looking for diaper deals ever since I discovered Parents Choice!

I was a Pampers user for the first two months after my daughter was born and have tried a number of different brands (we all know Pampers are good, but pricey) A friend of mine, whose kids had very sensitive skin, recommended Parents Choice and I fell in love with the brand! They never leaked, my daughter never had a diaper rash and I just love the price and the free delivery from Wal-Mart. Try them and I am sure you will never look for a diaper deals or coupons anymore.

You can also read what the other mommies think about Parent Choice by simply Google it! Another proof that cheap does not mean bad product!

Vibrant Trains Definitely a Cool Gift for Kids

I must admit, I like to be the one to show up at a baby shower with the cool gift. I spend a lot of time shopping for items that perfectly fit the parent’s personalities. I realize that my need to have the best gift at the shower is a little over the top, but all the hours of searching are worth it when I see how happy they are when they open their baby’s gift. Whether you have this unhealthy need to please or you just want something different for your next friends or family member’s baby shower you must check out Vibrant Trains. You will be hard pressed to find something as beautifully unique as these 100% custom wooden hand painted letter trains.

Lisa Waineo is the mastermind behind the paintbrush and her colorful designs are expertly done and full of vibrant details. The best part about ordering from Vibrant Trains is that you get to choose the colors, designs, and even letters for your train.  Theme ideas to get you started are Image Trains that depict an image along the length of the train, favorite characters from cartoon or books, or just made to match bedroom décor with colors and pattern.

Starting at $24.99 for a four piece train (2 letters and a caboose) you can choose a theme based on your child’s room.  Searching through the Vibrant Trains Etsy feedback you can see that Lisa is easy to work with and will update you on your train with pictures throughout the creative process.  This ensures you will absolutely love your train when it is finished.  Based off of the 100% positive (and glowing) feedbacks, I think it is a pretty safe bet that you and the recipient will be amazed with the results.

Vibrant trains are meant to be decoration only and contain small magnets to connect them together, so keep this in mind when ordering for young children.  If you love the artwork, but do not need a train, Vibrant Trains also sells hand painted trucks, wooden bug huts, and customizable lettered wall décor.  Also check out the sale/free shipping selection for great deals on previously painted trains.

Let Your Kids Fly with You

You would not think of leaving on a flight with your toddler without having your child properly restrained in their car seat. This is a testament to how much you love your children because while car seats safely and comfortably restrain your child they are also a big pain. When you have your entire luggage, your child’s luggage, and your child himself to haul to the terminal a car seat is a heavy burden to bear.  One company has tried to ease your traveling woes: CARES stands for Child Aviation Restraint System and is the only FAA approved child safety harness.

The CARES restraint harness is small and light enough to fit in your purse giving you the option of checking the car seat. It installs directly to your seat by opening the tray behind the seat placing the belt at a height just above your child’s shoulders. You then tighten the strap and buckle the harness over your child’s chest and you are done!


I would highly recommend watching this video before you book your next flight with your baby.

Fashionable Accessories for Your Baby Stroller

Everyone usually loves to look at the sunny side of things. Today we are talking about baby strollers. It does not matter how modern and fashionable your stroller is, if every clear day means your baby will be staring directly into the sun you probably would not be getting much walking done. It is likely that you have tried to combat your inadequate stroller sunshade by draping blankets over your stroller. This can work, unless of course it is windy, or you hit a bump, or your baby decides to tear the whole thing down. That is where the Shades for your stroller come in to bridge the gap between a sun-exposed baby and barricading yourselves indoors on the warm days.

The Shade for strollers is a cleverly designed baby sun cover that fits perfectly over your stroller’s standard canopy. The Shades for strollers comes with a stylish buttoned slit down the middle of the shade which allows for airflow while keeping the pesky sun’s rays completely off of your baby’s face. Some added benefits to this are wind protection for baby along with muffling the noisy city sounds so baby can nap. No longer will you have to worry about the blankets slipping and catching in the stroller wheels or your baby’s skin being exposed to the elements.

There is one company CityMum, the company is created by a mom who was frustrated with the lack of good sun protection for her own baby. She designed the sahdes for strollers and the materials she uses to create her designs are made from organic fabric and manufactured here in the USA. Now, the shades come in several different colors and fit many different strollers including Bugaboo, Cameleon/Frog, UPPAbaby Vista, Stokke Explory, iCandy, and Mountain Buggy. Even prices for these shades are quite affordable for all mommies out there.

Kids Friendly iPhone Apps for All Mommies

One of the greatest things about being an iPhone user is the ability to avoid nearly any tantrum right at your fingertips. Although you would not dream of letting your kids veg on your phone all day, you have to admit it is nice to have a distraction on long car trips or doctor visits. If you are not big on handing your preschooler your iPhone and letting them go to town on Angry Birds you may just fall in love with our fancy new list.
Below we have a great selection of neat little iPhone apps that are both fun and educational. These apps are guaranteed to allow you to sidestep a fuss without causing parental guilt.

Peek-a-boo Barn – Created specifically for toddlers; Peek-a-boo Barn is a well thought out but simple app that your child can maneuver through themselves. Once the app has started, a big red barn starts to shake while a hidden animal starts to moo, quack, meow etc. Your toddler than presses on the barn doors and reveals the animal. A child’s voice will say the animal’s name then the name will appear in the top right corner of the barn. Young toddlers will like figuring out which animals make what sound while older toddlers and preschoolers will enjoy learning to spell the animal’s name. The app also has a Spanish mode so your child can learn the animals in both languages.

Elias Zoo – Another fun animal app for toddlers! The Elias Zoo animal cards are expertly animated to attract your child’s attention. Like Peek-a-boo Barn, Elias Zoo aims to teach young children the names and faces of different animals. The Zoo cards can be sifted through in one long line and then shaken to randomize the order. This is a really fun one for toddlers, although many parents claim their preschoolers enjoy it as well.

Itsy Bitsy Spider - This adorable app created after the nursery rhyme is cleverly made to allow your child to interact with every aspect of the page. They can play peek-a-boo with a frog; help a caterpillar become a butterfly, and much more. Children follow the spider from page to page to explore the different activities such as collecting eggs, creating songs, or even just listening to classical music. The illustrations on this app are incredible-very colorful and fun. This is a definite must have for your preschooler.

Since you are brave enough to allow your child to play with your iPhone, do not forget to protect it with the iPhone Woogie—a completely kid friendly stuffed toy that keeps your iPhone safely protected from your toddlers.

Potty Training Quick Tips

Every stage that your kids go through you thinks, “This is the cutest age!” Then they get a little older, learn new things and suddenly you will thinking that now is the cutest age—except when it comes to potty training. Potty training to your kids sometimes become an ugly affair often resulting in frustration and tears for mommies for months until something finally clicked and they got it. Sometime the problem is that moms started them way too young and kids are not ready for it. Because every child learns differently we are not going to let you make the same mistake many moms do by telling you exactly, How to toilet train your child. Instead we will just give you a few quick hints and tips that may help you get the big-kid-underwear success you are looking for.

Potty Training Books/Dolls: Some kids are hands on learners. If your child is one of them, it may help read them potty books before training. Then allow them to teach the act to a drink-and-wet potty doll. This will help them process the act and motivate them to try it themselves so they can demonstrate for their pupil.

Bribery: For some kids, bribery just works. Whether you use chocolates, a sticker chart, or dollar store toys, giving your child an instant reward for using the potty is a great motivator.

Keep Juice on hand: Even if you usually do not give your child juice, if you can break this rule just for the first few days of training, the benefits are priceless. Your child is not likely to ask for water to drink every half hour, but they would ask for their favorite sweet beverage. The more they drink, the more they need to go potty. The more they need to go potty, the more training opportunities you have.

Other Children Can Help You Too: Whether older or younger, your other kids are a great tool in potty training. If you are using bribes, do not forget to reward your older children for using the potty too. Positive reinforcement works even when your child sees someone else getting the reward. Also, younger diapered siblings can be beneficial. Start applauding the baby for going on the potty.

Go Child Size: Kids like things their size and “just for them”. It is more fun (and sometimes more convenient) to use a child’s portable potty, special child wet wipes, character foamy soaps, or colorful step stools up to the regular potty.

Try the Schedule: Ask every 20 minutes if they need to go. Or if they will let you, just take them to go. Better yet, get them a potty watch that reminds them to go at set intervals.
