So we're expecting our 4th child. It's no secret that I hate those infant type car seats.. aka the bucket seats. They have a convenience to them, but.. let's be honest here. How long does that convenience last? Not very long. I used one for my boys, and I think after the first couple months of their lives that convenience went away. They would wake up when it was moved. They would cry because the angle was weird. They were SO heavy in it. UGH the weight of the bucket alone is enough to haul around. It's nice to snap it into your stroller, but I hardly even use a stroller anyway. I love babywearing.. or just using my stroller as is. So, when my third was born we went with a convertible seat right away. I was a little nervous at first that it might not work out. What I learned is that for us, the infant seats are a waste of money for a short lived convenience. So my choice of a convertible seat from day one was a success. We will be doing this again because of that. My seat of choice was a Graco My Ride 65. I felt it was supportive and cushioned enough for the comfort of a newborn baby. Oh how happy I was when we skipped all the unhappy phases of car rides like I had with my boys until they swapped to new rear facing seats! It is a little on the bulky side, but I would recommend this to friends and family. -- Click the link below to see a HOT deal on a Graco My Ride 65.. all prints just $97.99! with eligibly prime or super saver shipping. These normally sell for 140-150ish, so this is a great deal!

Geeky Gadgets This Holiday Season
First up, the Nest thermostat. Firstly, while this is indeed a very cool gadget to have.. I would actually recommend this to one and all. It is easily programmable from your computer, tablet or phone. The settings are easy to navigate, and the biggest bonus is that it will save you money on your electric and heating bills by optimising the settings. We got one approximately 4 months ago. I couldn't be any happier with it! It retails for about $250 USD
Nest Learning Thermostat - 2nd Generation T200577
BRING BACK THE SHOW!! Firefly is arguably one of the best Sci-fi shows to ever grace the air. With everyone's favorite Nathan Fillion (*swoon*), this Joss Whedon series is absolutely a MUST have on DVD for any true geek out there. This set I've seen selling for about $20-25, but recently it dipped to just $5.99! Snatch it up quick because this price probably will not last!
Everyone needs a good set of ear buds. This set is really nice for just listening to music or making phone calls. The sound quality is high, and they seem to fit a wide variety of ears. With a 4 1/2 star rating out of 137 reviews, this is a very popular set of earphones. They are sure to delight any FPS (first person shooter) game fans, and other geeks alike. The rubber wires are high quality and kevlar reinforced. These earphones will last quite a while, and at their current price of $39.99.. they're a steal! A perfect deal for your loved one this holiday season. It is Prime or Super Saver shipping eligible!

The Holidays Are Upon Us!
VTech MobiGo 2 Touch Learning System - Pink
So let's start this off with a cool device. I haven't seen these get any lower in price so far this year. I have seen one Black Friday preview saying they'd have this a little cheaper.. but if you're like me, I'm not going anywhere on Black Friday! So this MobiGo 2 Touch Learning system is marked down to $29.99 with Prime Eligible Shipping! If you spend $35 or more you can get free shipping on Amazon with Super Saver Shipping. This system that is marked down is pink, but I suspect the orange color will also eventually get marked down again. I just snagged one for the same price a few days ago. The thing I've noticed is that this system has games that regularly go on sale and clearance, even high rated games! That makes it a plus for me.
VTech MobiGo Software - Elmo and Abbey; Nature Explorers
So every kid needs a good set of games to go with their new learning system! Check this one out, $7.19 with prime eligible shipping. It gets 4 1/2 stars! Wow! I snagged this one for my kiddo that is getting the MobiGo 2 for Christmas. I saw this same game at Toys R Us this week for $19.99! I think this price is a steal.
Fisher-Price LP Disney Klipklop Stable
This is a HOT toy this year. When I went to purchase one for my daughter at Target, I literally was one of a few people going for the same toy. When I circled back again to maybe pick up a second for a gift, the entire shelf was CLEARED.. and the store didn't have more in the back. I think this may be the big winner for my daughter this year. So far I've not come across a better price. Seems every store has them for $35.99 and up. This is a good price at $29.99 with eligible prime shipping!
Long time, no see?

If you like shopping online and getting caught in the rain..
Zulily is a site that has many listings for different products daily. They call these 'events'. Each day brings new products, and each event lasts a couple days. You have to be quick because sometimes a popular item will be gone in the blink of an eye, but for the most part there is shopping to be had for all. I have picked out some amazing products. I really couldn't be happier. You know some of those deal sites peddle their cheap junk for supposed heavy discounts. Then you look and find everyone else selling it just as low. You may also find most of the stuff is cheap, thus the pricing. Of all the things I've ordered from Zulily for myself, my children and my home -- ALL of it has met my standards. That's why I'm writing about it now. The site caters mostly to women and children, but occasionally products for men pop up, too! Hey, what guy is going to complain about his wife spending less money on the same or similar products that she buys anyway?
So the fun part. Signing up is easy! There is no obligation to spend money or to meet minimum purchases if you don't see things you like. There aren't any hidden fees or contracts to buy anything either. Shipping has a flat rate of $7. I know that seems like a lot, but it's a flat fee. You can order as much or as little per day as you wish and that is all you pay. If you make more than one order, it all gets combined and you won't be double charged for shipping. Some of the items take a little longer to ship, but each page listing will have a timeline clearly listed so you know around when to expect your product to arrive. Have no fear if you want to get something faster, though. They have an entire 'ready to ship' section available on their site. These items will ship quickly. To give you an idea of how fast I got my first order, I placed my order on a thursday night very late. I got a shipment notice less than 24 hours later. It was delivered on the 4th business day! I don't get that kind of service from many big retailers these days.
My sign up link will help me provide clothing and shoes for my children. After you place your first order and it ships, I will get a $15 credit to my account for inviting you. When you sign up, you can begin inviting your friends and family, too. There is no limit on how many people you can invite! Just imagine the possibilities!
