Baby Half Off!!

I have to tell you that I have purchased many, many of my favourite items from Baby Half Off! One of the items that I continue to purchase (mainly because I'm in love with the cool designs!), is Envirosax! Since the first time I bought them, I have always loved seeing the new Envirosax bags come up on babyhalfoff.com.  I give them as gifts to friends, wrap gifts in the bags, and use them for everything! My kids have their own Sesame Street Envirosax that they take to daycare.  Love, love, love these!!!

They post a deal a day, which is limited quantities, so you'd better get on there early and grab what you want! Once it's gone, it's gone!

Okay, so I talked too much about the bags and now it's time to gush about their website.  I feel like I've gotten to know the girls that run it, so that's pretty cool.  Their shipping is always reasonable and super fast! I have never had a problem ordering or anything...always smooth transactions!

One of the things that I like about them is that they have products that I wouldn't necessarily ever know about and unique brands.  It allows you to find some really cool stuff!! Today they have Snack Taxi Reusable Snack Bags at 50% off, which I have ordered in the past and they go to daycare with my kids everyday! Go to their website and grab some of the bags!!

Go babyhalfoff.com!! Keep up the great deals!!

Baby Steals!! If you dare...

Over the years, I have come across many websites for great deals.  I was first introduced to Babysteals.com over 3 years ago and have purchased many, many items from them.  Beware....once you go there, you will become almost obsessed with making sure you get there every day when they post a steal, because if you don't, you may lose out on something really great! Some things sell out VERY quickly!! They post 2 "Steals" each day and it's usually such a great product at a great price, that you simply cannot pass it up.  Well, okay, that's my reasoning anyways.

Let me list some of the things I've purchased there....
-Ergo Baby Carrier
-Stride Rite shoes
-Robeez shoes
-Baby Legs
-DC Toddler Shoes
-DC Board Shorts
-BabyBanz Sunglasses and Hats
-Halo outfits
-Smart Mom Teething Bling

There are sooo many more, but this post would get way too long.  Anyhow, this gives you an example of some of the great brands that they have on there.  There was a time when I'd have at least one package a week coming in from them.  Shhhhh...don't tell my husband!!

Babysteals.com is based out of Salt Lake City, UT, but the shipping (for the most part) is pretty fair. You can see what the charges will be before you checkout.  I find that even with the shipping, it's still cheaper than if you were to purchase the same product in Canada.  I have had to pay duty on some items (shoes, mostly), but that's not all the time.

Head over to there website and become addicted!! Babysteals.com

Oliver's Labels...The Best of the Best!!

I've got 2 kids in daycare.  They go to the same daycare, but since they are in different age groups, they are split up.  This just means that I've got 2 sets of kids stuff going in 2 different directions and if I did not label them, I doubt I would get any of their items sent home.  I've tried a few different brands of labels for kids, but I have been using Oliver's Labels for 3 years now and I can honestly say that NOTHING compares to them!!

Let me give you an example of how good they are.  My daughter is now 3.5 years old.  When she started going to daycare nearly 3 years ago, I had to label her bed sheet that I sent to daycare.  Well, I have been washing this sheet at least every week and I've got the Stick-eez™ Clothing Labels on it and it's still stuck on the tag and going strong!! I've always got other moms and even the daycare girls asking me about these labels.  The Mini Labels are super awesome, too.  I use these on all my kids cups, forks, spoons, lunch kits, etc.  They are dishwasher safe and again, I have had them on my daughter's cup from daycare for 3 years now and it's still stuck on the cup like the first day I put it on! No fading, either.  This cup has endured many, many washes in the dishwasher!

There are so many cute designs.  I always have a hard time choosing which ones for each of my kids.  Give them a try and I know you will love them like I do! My favourites are the Stick-eez™ Clothing Labels, mostly because I don't have to iron them on, but seriously, they are awesome and the Shoe Labels, because you can peel the label off and if you sell your kid's stuff no one would ever know it was there!

Check them out!! Oliver's Labels



Welcome!!

I've had a few blogs on the go in previous years and after my second child was born, I just did not have time to keep up with them.  So, instead of starting where I left off, I decided to start FRESH! I am so into new beginnings lately!! Now that my kids are getting to be a little bit older...well...not newborns anymore, I do have a little bit more time to do some blogging.  In between the dishes, the laundry, the cleaning, etc.  My situation has changed considerably over the past 2 years.  I've gone from owning a home worth over a million dollars to now looking for somewhere to rent.  I've gone from working full-time, to only working part-time and having my daycare subsidised by the government while we get back on our feet.  I used to shop online ALL the time and that has been reduced by nearly 100%.  Although I don't purchase much, I do still search for the great deals and drool over them! So anyways, that's about it for my first post.
Thanks for reading!
