TOYS R' US SALE

Right now Toys R' Us is having a sale where a lot of items are Buy 2, Get 1 Free. Some examples are all Melissa and Doug puzzles, Thomas Trains, Little People toys, etc. Now is a good time to start thinking about Christmas and Christmas gifts. I love the Little People Nativity above.

GENERAL CONFERENCE PACKET

The LDS Church has their General Conference coming up on Saturday and Sunday, October 4th and 5th. Twice a year the prophet and other leaders of our church speak to all of the members. It is very uplifting and wonderful but it is a challenge to keep the children's attention.

Sugardoodle.net has a FREE packet on their site that you can print for your children. They have a packet for younger children and older children. This is the same packet I linked last time, but hopefully it has been long enough your children won't mind! I haven't found a new version for this conference.

Here is the link.

MOM SHOTS

I love photography. I have become quite obsessed with it since I had my son. That is why I had to get an SLR Camera so I could have good quality photos and a fast camera to get them. I love my camera so much, but I feel overwelmed by all of the amazing things it can do. I just discovered a website called Mom Shots. It is designed for those of us that just want decent pics. of our kids (or whatever subject) and need a little help and tips along the way.

BRITAX SALE

There is a big Britax sale going on all over the internet September 15-21. I am a BIG fan of Britax (specifically the Marathon). You can check out Baby Cheapskate's post on the Brtiax sale to see what is a good deal on the specific model you are looking for.

HALLOWEEN PICS.

My cute high school friend is a Utah Photographer and is offering Halloween pictures of your kiddos for $99 (and you get the CD of the pics.). She will do it at a corn field, pumpkin patch, cemetery or at your home. Wouldn't that be so cute to have some fun pics. of your kids in their costumes. I love this idea!

Her co. is called A Yummy Life Photography and you can get her info. on her blog here.

CAMERA STRAP COVERS

I am so excited about these DSLR camera strap covers. Aren't they adorable? Of course, you can find them on Etsy, where else?.

MY FOOD STORAGE DEALS

If you live in Utah, listen up. I have been subscribing to www.myfoodstoragedeals.com for a few months now and I have been saving a TON of money on my groceries. It is a very simple concept. She posts a list each week on the website with all of the deals for the main grocery stores in town. If the sale price is really good and worth stocking up on (meaning it is the same or less than Costco) then you would want to buy it. I have saved a lot of money but I have also been stocking up on the sale items. The past few weeks have been the Case Lot sale at Harmons and the lists tell you what Case Lot deals are really deals. It is so helpful. I love a bargain, but I have never been good at comparing and noticing grocery prices. It can be so overwelming. She also offers a meal planning option and gives you lots of tips and has a great blog where she answers all sorts of questions. If you want to try it out for 2 weeks for free then enter FREETRIAL and try it out. I hope you love it as much as I do!

DINE O' ROUND

The Fall Dine O' Round started today in SLC. You can get lunch for $10 or a 3 course dinner for $15 or $30.

LDS BLOG BUTTONS

You may know that I am LDS. Also known as Mormon because I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I put 2 links on the side of my blog to let others know and because it is one of the things that I am most proud of and makes up a HUGE part of who I am and what I believe.

If you want to put some LDS Blog Buttons on your blog, click here to get them. They were designed by Leelou who offers free and custom blog designs. She also made more LDS buttons here.

CALLING ALL COMMENTERS

Yes...I know I have let you down and decided to scale back on the posts due to my need to get a life, but did you really all have to stop commenting!?!

Come on...you must have something to say to me? :)

THOMAS & FRIENDS THE GREAT DISCOVERY

Calling all Thomas lovers! The Great Discovery movie is in stores as of yesterday. I have heard that it is pretty cute and a little more action packed than the typical Thomas shows (that I really don't understand why kids love) and frankly get annoyed at how all the engines are not happy most of the time :)

PHOTOGRAPHY

My good friend's sister is a photographer and she is doing a special if you book your family pictures by September 10th you can get $25 off. I love that she gives you the full copyright of your pictures. Her company is Franco Photography.

AVENT MAKES BPA FREE BOTTLE

Avent has finally come out with a BPA Free bottle. As far as I can tell it is only available at Target right now. (Online or in stores). The way you will know they are BPA free is that they have a yellow tint and the box will clearly say BPA Free (as shown above). I think the BPA free come in a 2 pack where most other Avent bottles are in a 3 pack. And...they will be more expensive than the other Avent bottles.

This week at Target you can get the 2 pack of Avent BPA Free bottles for $17.49 ($1.50 off) and if you buy 2 packages you can get a $5 Target gift card.

GRANDPARENTS DAY & DISCOVERY GATEWAY

Grandparents Day is Sunday, September 7th! In honor of Grandparent's day on Sept. 7th only you can get a 10% discount on your membership at Discovery Gateway Children's Museum at the Gateway Mall in SLC. Even if you don't get the 10% off it is worth getting a membership anytime.

Have I told you how much I LOVE Discovery Gateway? It is not cheap to go there without a membership ($9.50 for ages 1 on up - $8.50 for UT residents), but if you get a membership it is well worth it! We go ALL the time and my son never tires of it. There is so much to do. The best part about the membership is you can get it for a certain number of guests. For instance, my membership is for 4 people, so whenever we go (and it is just my son and I) we can get 2 other people in with us for free.
