Become.com- All of the best shopping tools in one place!

Check out Become.com, your new shopping tool!

This is another really great shopping site that I wanted to share with you guys!

How it works:

This is a price comparison site, a deal-finding site, a product review site, and more, all wrapped into one! There are a lot of great sites that do one of these things {like Viewpoints.com for reviews, Ebates for coupon codes, etc.} but I’ve never found ANYWHERE else that does all of this in one place. Super cool, and so very helpful!

What you can do:

  • You can shop by category: I shopped and found some awesome deals on comforter sets for the bedroom re-do, convertible couches which is the fancy name for futons, lol, for our new garage “lounge” area, and floor fans since the central air just doesn’t work that great in the Master Bedroom. Great selection, great prices.
  • You can shop by Editors Picks: Check ’em out here, August Picks, to learn what they recommend for deals.
  • Use the Tip Center: There are TONS of different categories in the Tip Center to help guide your shopping, and assist you in finding the best products.
  • Shop by coupon: Check out the selection of online coupons they have available, for all kinds of great stores and products.
  • Or just use the search engine on the site! You type what you’re looking for into the top search box, and then hit either “Shop” or “Research”, depending on what your need is. Super cool.

I love make-up :)

It’s funny, since I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, I haven’t worn it very often… But I have so much pretty stuff! So, as part of the No More Frump Mom Challenge, I’ve started actually putting a bit of make-up on every day again… And seriously, what a difference it makes in my day!

Honestly, it might sound super-vain, but it’s so much nicer to catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, with rosy cheeks and full lashes, the the tired face I’ve been looking at the past few months.

I may not actually BE well rested, probably not until my child is 18. But a bit of pretty make-up can make me APPEAR to be, well, if not well-rested, at least not exhausted-looking! :)

Who else is excited about this triple-bonus-cash-back deal?? {It’s only until August 14th!}

{Rafflecopter Giveaway} Win a Pair of Kneekers!

Are these super cute, or what?

Kneekers® - Lime Fizz

Introducing Kneekers!

Ah Goo Baby calls these, “Knee-shoes for your little crawler!” So cute, right? I used these for the first time about a month ago, and they are SUCH a great idea!

Crawling = Banged up Baby Knees!

My little one was just learning to take her first few steps when we started using the Kneekers, but crawling was still her main form of transportation. It’s summer, so she spends all day with her little chunky legs bare, and they were getting a bit roughed up from crawling on the hard tile in the kitchen, scratchy old rugs in the living room, and hard pavement of our patio. So I was super excited to get these and protect those chubby baby knees! {speaking of chubby legs- Ah Goo Baby will be coming out with a new “Chunkalicious style of Kneeker, for babies with bigger thighs, sometime soon. I’ll keep you posted.}

From Crawling to Walking…

Now that she is walking more, the Kneekers are still super helpful! She is getting pretty fast, but isn’t all that steady on her feet. {You know, that drunken-sailor-baby-walk? That’s her.} But as long as she’s got her Kneekers on, she’s got at least a little cushion when she falls down. Plus, sometimes walking is too much work, and she’ll use that lighting-baby crawl to get to what she wants as fast as possible, before mommy can catch her. She thinks this is pretty funny :)

{Use the exclusive code: SIPPY930, for 15% OFF your purchase at checkout!}

A few fun facts:

  • Durable, machine washable and dryer safe. {They look great even after repeated washing.}
  • BPA Free. {This is extremely important to me in baby products.}
  • Prevents carpet burns and scrapes while crawling. {Works great!}
  • Protects delicate knees from falls while learning to stand and walk.
  • Affordably priced at only $12.95 for your baby or as a gift to a friend’s! {Super great value, and you’ll use them a TON.}
  • A fun accessory your baby will love! {Seriously adorable. Everyone asks where we got them.}

Win a set for YOUR baby!

The wonderfully generous folks over at Ah Goo Baby are giving one of YOU a FREE pair of Kneekers to protect your baby too!

{Disclaimer: I was provided a free pair of Kneekers from Ah Goo Baby to review, but as always, the opinions in the review are 100% my own. I only speak the truth to you ladies :)}
