Happy Savings!!

I wish I needed another carseat!

The Britax brand is a fantastic brand of carseats. I've only heard good reviews about them.... although once I have heard that they are bulky but I think that's how the majority of good car seats are. The only reason I didn't purchase one for my son was cost. We went for the Eddie Bauer brand, which is still pretty good, but we couldn't find any deals going on at the time of purchase. Hopefully this will help somebody!?

Color Book Fun & FREE!!

Who needs to purchase a coloring book for their child when you can simply print out whatever your child's favorite object of the month is. And let's face it.... children go through favorites pretty quickly!! Here are a few of my favorite coloring pages (I teach preschool & use these often!). The cost is whatever it is to print out the page... ink, paper & time. I prefer doing both sides of the paper so that there is lots of room to create, as well as "reduce" & "reuse"!

Tushy Love

Gotta love a post that's titled: Tushy Love. You can tell I'm the mom of a little one! Anyways, there are a few good deals going on for helping that tush of theirs stay dry.
First:

a sample of Huggies Pure & Natural. I actually ordered some for my next one... whenever that may be. I'm actually planning on doing cloth diapers but I don't think it will hurt to have a few disposable on hands so it's not too much pressure. I'll put it in the box with the hand-me-down clothes! =D here is the link.

And for the older ones (like my boy):

Free underpants sample from Goodnights! Here is the link.

i'm really excited for this... great company offering a learning tool for FREE. yippeeeee

DIY: Silly Putty

For "Silly Scientists Day" today at my preschool class (that I teach), we made our own Silly Putty. The first couple of tries were disastrous.... I followed corporates' instructions on how to make it. They make lesson plans that they want me to teach, but they are normally pretty lame (come on... it's corporate, not a teacher making these lesson plans!), so I typically have to redesign the whole day. Well, I thought the IDEA of making Silly Putty sounded pretty fun.... but should have researched the instructions that they gave me because it was awful trying to make the silly putty work out in front of 9 3&4 yr olds who worked hard at putting it together & mixing it just right. Anyways, here is the easy, DIY method that hopefully is fail proof via a video. It ought to make it a lot easier to make the putty than my failed-many-times way.

I have found that mixing the borax with water first is crucial because, if you don't, you end up with really grainy gunk.
