Free Bowling This Summer
Select bowling centers and schools around the country are participating in the first ever “Kids Bowl Free” program. This program is designed by bowling centers to give back to the community and provide a safe, secure, and fun way for kids to spend time this summer.
Children are eligible to register for 2 free games a day, all summer long, courtesy of the participating bowling centers along with the schools and organizations. There is no cost to participate and there are no strings attached. The locations are limited, however. The only place in Texas that this program is offered is Amarillo. (From Amarillo? You're in luck!) So I think it's hit and miss. But it's worth a look, right?

Zyrtec Allergy Medicine
My allergies are terrible and I've been on Zyrtec for a few years now. You probably know that Zyrtec is now available over the counter. I've been buying the generic version at Tom Thumb for $18 for 60 pills. But that's all about to change! Costco has a generic version of Zyrtec for $15.99 for 300 pills. 300!!! That is an incredible deal!
If you want the brand name Zyrtec they also have that for $32.59 for 75 pills. Still a good deal considering I was paying $60 for 90 pills before it went OTC.

Wiis for you and Wiis for me...
Looking for a Wii? They're starting to get a little easier to find. We lucked out by finding one at Best Buy but then just a couple of weeks ago I was at Target and they had about ten of them sitting on the shelf.
Before we got ours I signed up for Wii Alerts and they e-mail me whenever an online site has Wiis in stock. Lately I've been getting alerts almost daily for Wiis available on Sears.com. I'm also signed up for Amazon.com, BestBuy.com, CircuitCity.com and a few others. If you're still looking for one this is a great site.

It’s The Breakfast Club, Baby!
Rookie Moms and the Parent Bloggers Network want to know about my favorite outing during my rookie year of motherhood. If you’d like to participate head on over to the Parent Bloggers Network and check it out for yourself! You could win some great prizes!
My favorite outing during my rookie year would have to be my weekly Breakfast Club. When my son was about five months old my friend Mandy invited a few stay at home moms she knew over for breakfast one morning. The kids played (or in some cases, had tummy time) and the moms talked and laughed. It was supposed to be a one time thing but we had such a great time that we wanted to make it a regular occasion. The next week Carrie hosted and from then on out we all started taking a week to serve breakfast and drinks for the mommies and children.
We’ve been doing it for a year now and we are loving it! Our group has become larger as we’ve all invited new friends to join us. Thanks to this inexpensive weekly outing I’ve met some women that I never would’ve met otherwise. My son has friends of all ages and gets to have playtime every week with 10-15 other children. It’s so good for him to get to play with other children (and their toys!) and of course, a great time for support and laughs for the mommies.

Renting Baby Products on Vacation
One of the first things you learn as a new parent is how much effort it takes just to leave the house. Diapers, burp cloths, wipes, an extra outfit, bottles...the list goes on and on. Just as we finally had it all down last year we went on vacation. Talk about overwhelming.
Luckily someone has already paved this path for us and there are multiple baby gear rental companies all over the world. Last year I had a 4 month old so we rented a bathtub, exersaucer, crib, bouncy seat and beach tent. (Did we need ALL of those? Of course not. But did we think we did at the time? Sure!) The prices really weren't that bad and it's a convenience I'm happy to pay for. I'm currently looking into making our rental reservation again this year. We'll be using Beach and Baby in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, Alabama.
Beach & Baby Rentals
Baby's Away is a popular nationwide rental company, though I've never used them before.

When you're planning your vacation this summer, pack a little lighter and remember rental companies. They can be lifesavers!

Stride Rite at Shoebuy.com
I got an e-mail from Shoebuy.com saying I could save 20% through May 12 when I order from them. They have free shipping and returns as well as no sales tax so I was ready to take advantage of it! My son needed some new summer sandals so I bought Stride Rite Argo sandals for him. The shoes were $39.95 but I got 20% off and then another 10% off (for registering on their site, maybe?) so the total came to $28.76. Still outrageous but less outrageous than $40+ would have been, right?
The code is MOTHERSDAY08. Happy shopping!

To use these you'll need to buy the diapers and a box of baby wipes that are 180 count or larger. A great deal and wipes too! Some of you may have receieved Target baby coupons in the mail last week. If so there is a 75 cents off coupon for Pampers wipes you can use on top of the others for even more savings! Now this is how to save money on diapers!

Tom Thumb has a deal on Bic Soleil razors this week (through Wednesday). The razors and 4 ct. cartridges are buy one get one free. Use this with the coupon from this week's Smart Source (buy razor, get cartridges free) to get them both free! My local Kroger was sold out of the cartridges but I'm off later today to see if they've been restocked!
(I went back and they were still out of cartidges but I got a raincheck!)
