Quest for the Best

2011-02-12T19:57:00.000-08:00

Wow, it has been years since I blogged last. Being a Mommy doesn't leave much time for putting your thoughts down in writing. Since last time I posted, I worked nights for a year until I found out I was pregnant. My little guy (my first singleton) just turned a year and I had a tough year with 3 kids 2 and under. We're now looking for a bigger place to fit all the little people who are sharing a bedroom. My 7 year old is still in a toddler bed so that we can fit them all in and I'm reluctant to buy a bunkbed since my boy twin Y is a daredevil who loves to "fly" off high heights. Which brings me to this post. I have my twins in cribs- M in a Stokke and Y in a Nurseryworks crib, both Craigslist finds. (The expensive Italian ones from my first twins were destroyed after 4 years of use) Y is REALLY hard on his things and has been climbing and shaking his drop side rail for some time now. 2 days ago the rail came crashing down and is unable to be fixed. I know drop sides are recalled but I figured I would get rid of it soon anyways. I would keep him in his crib as a toddler bed if he would stop waking us all up when dancing at 5 am. so for now we have got to get another crib. M is totally unwilling to give up her space in her crib (she would keep it until she's 9 if I let her) and my baby K is in a porta crib. So... I have to get another crib. Since I would probably use the crib for K as soon as we move I want to get a nice sturdy crib. I LOVE our Stokke crib and our 3 Stokke chairs- the original kinderzeat, european tripp trapp and the newer tripp trapp with baby rail and would really like another Stokke crib however it's waaaay out of our price range. The crib is amazing, it rolls easily from room to room, no drop rails, converts to a bassinet and a childs bed as well. It's made to last forever. Chiccheapnursery.com is giving one away and I really really really want to win it (Enough to wake up my blog from over a years rest) . You can go here http://http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/2011/giveaways/win-it-stokke-crib-changing-table-and-more/ to try to win it yourself but I'm going to do all the entry options to hopefully win it for my little guys!

The Dirty Shirt is giving away a LeapFrog Leapster 2 with a game. My 5 year old son learned to read from the LeapFrog Letter Factory DVD and I'm thrilled to see a game for it. Although I'm not a big fan of kids with electronic devices and addicted to handheld games, it would be nice to have something educational to distract my son when we're out. The I Spy games also look really nice.

My first follower Barefoot Mommies has some (well, really a ton) of great giveaways going on. My baby son just started cruising so any of the See Kai Run or pediped™ shoes that she is giving away would be great. And I can't forget my baby daughter who would look adorable in the Heelarious high-heeled soft shoes or personalized Darling Shoes. My five year old is afraid of the dark and wakes us up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, the Sylvania PalPODzzz night lights look they would be quite helpful. She is also giving away a package of Classy Kid Products disposable changing table liners, disposable bibs, bags and potty protectors. Most of them are staples in my diaper bag.

I happen to think that the FLOR system is the smartest around. Ever get some dirt on your carpet that you weren't able to get it out? When I was in bedrest Powerade spilled all over my white carpet. No matter how many times I cleaned it or what cleaners I used I still have this ugly black stain. We moved the beds to cover it up, but now know to buy FLOR tiles for our next apartment and I never have to worry about stained carpets again. What is the FLOR system? FLOR makes carpet tiles that you could put together in any color or pattern you like creating very original flooring. Plus, because each tile can be removed seperately, you never have to worry about bad stains, just replace that one tile! Right now you can win a FLOR seagrass rug from from Double Bugs.

Travelling with a baby is always hard. Multiply that by 2 and we start disaster planning. In the rare occasions that we actually do go away our minivan is always bursting at the seams. There is never enough room for all the baby paraphanelia so we are always looking for different convenience items to help us. Although exersaucers are not a necessity, during certain stages it definately seems like one. I love the convenience of having a safe place for a baby to play without me worrying about them getting into trouble or being attacked by the other children. Since there is no way to travel with the exersaucer even folded, the PopATot was invented. You can win one now at Frugal Mommy of 2 Girls. You can also win a childs finger painting kit with frame and many other giveaways going on now.

I'm starting to care about the planet more now that I realize how much garbage we generate. Well really it was my husband wondering why we have 4 full bags of garbage to bring down to the basement every night. I have read about Seventh Generation diapers before but never put much thought into them due to their price. I would like to test them out to see if they really work. Rockin Mama is giving away a baby starter kit including 2 packages of diapers in your choice of size, a tub and travel pack of wipes and baby laundry detergent, all in a reusable bag. With the amount of diapers my twins go through we could definately use some free ones! Rockin Mama is having a potty training party going on right now so she is running a few other giveaways to fit in the theme as well.

I had a great black and white laser printer for the past 3 years that I got for only $60. It was dependable and worked really well until we ran out of ink.

Also, all my pictures from my older sons were from before my digital camera days so I do scan alot.

Starting my blog

2009-01-26T22:32:00.001-08:00

Okay, so I have no idea where to start. I have been following so many blogs for a pretty long time now that I really should. Well, thanks to my dear twin, and my daughters PT, I have actually started a blog. I guess I'm going to start by filling you in on some of the contests I have been entering lately (and hopefully winning some). Try some of the links below:
bloggygiveaways.com- that's where I won my first prize, a tote bag with a stuffed grasshopper and book that was announced the day I gave birth to my babies!
http://www.bellazizasfavorites.com/-you have to be a subscriber to win, but she has the most awesome taste in baby items and the most generous giveaways. I won a Peg Perego Primo Viago carseat from her.

I'm a big GAP fan and they've just started a final sale section! Plus, for now, you can get an extra 25% off with code FINAL. I just bought my babies new coats for next year for under $12!

This week I was also able to stock up on some great diaper deals:

Target has the cases of Pampers on sale for 29.99 (they have a free package of wipes inside) and when you buy 2 cases, you get a $10 GC. I also stocked up on baby wipes, they have both Huggies and Pampers wipes (even the Kandoo wipes) for $1.99, it came out even cheaper than the value box of refills. Check out Target's clearance center as I picked up a BabyTrend jogger stroller for $24 and they had some really cute pink owl backpacks with a sleeping bag, flashlight and water bottle for under $6!

You can request an $1.50 of Pampers coupon http://www.startsampling.com/sm/100502/captureAddress.iphtml?item=100502&source=

If you spend $50 on P&G products (pampers count) before 1/31 you can send in your receipts and get $120 worth of coupons for P&G coupons http://www.pgeverydaysolutions.com/pgeds/en_US/jsp/EDS_Page.jsp?pageID=Year-of-Savings

CVS has Huggies Jumbo packs on sale for $10. Buy 2 and get $5 EB. You can get a .75 rebate for every package of Huggies diapers you buy if you send your receipts to http://www.caregiversmarketplace.com/FrameSetup.asp

Thanks for visiting and I hope to be back soon with some more!

Another Grosgrainfabulous.com giveaway.
