Bright Beginnings Baby Formula Review

by | | 0 Comments

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.   It's amazing how expensive it is to have a child.    Unfortunately when I had both my girls, I was unable to nurse for very long so we had to turn to formula.  What we spent on feeding them and diapering them was amazing!   It was one reason I began shopping with coupons!  At first we only purchased the name brand formulas but then as we added up the cost we decided to try some store brands.  Neither of our girls had any problems so we stuck with them. One formula we used was Parent's Choice.  It was about half the price of the name brand formula so we were excited to save the money and...

Australia Gift Shop: Cute Kangaroo Slippers

by | | 0 Comments

I found a website while searching for something called the Australia Gift Shop where you can buy Australian souvenirs.   There are some really cute things there (and some weird stuff like placenta cream that is supposed to help with anti-aging! I wonder if it works??). I came across these absolutely adorable Kangaroo Baby Booties.  Aren't they adorable?  They are under $9.00 which I think is a great price but the shipping is almost $10.00.  Before I  would purchase them I'd try to find something else to justify the cost of shipping.   However $19.00 for a cute pair of Kangaroo Baby Booties isn't that bad. Then I saw this cute Koala Bear that is under $4.00.  When I added that to my cart ...
