Mommy Thoughts…

I just love this quote today from one of my favorite baby freebie sites, Planning Family….

“A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.” -Alan Marshall Beck

So, so true. My little on is only 9 months old, but I can already see this type of adorable yet troublemaking attitude in her. And yes, I’ve seen that look in her eye…. When she’s crawling over to get something she shouldn’t, and sees me coming, her face lights up and she starts crawling just as darn fast as she can to see if she can get there before she gets caught!

One day she is as cute as a little cupcake…

The next day I find her in my room with a ninja sword…

Or laughing as she pulls out Uncle Jamie’s beard…

But I suppose it’s that contrast of the sweetness with the saucy that is what makes her so much fun. I had never, ever thought that I would become a mother, and still feel incredibly overwhelmed and inexperienced with it all. But in between those moments of frustration or exhaustion, she brings me so much sunshine and laughter!

If you like this quote, and want to sign up for the Planning Family emails too, it only takes a minute, and you’ll love it. They send you a weekly email with your babies development, and tips for her at that stage. Plus freebies, coupons, and giveaways. But the weekly quote is one of my favorite parts of the email!

Tons of New Baby & Toddler Freebies

Having a baby is expensive!

I mean, feeding this little chunker takes some serious cash, lol. She is a H-U-N-G-R-Y baby, for sure!

So, starting when I was pregnant, I began to stock up on EVERY baby freebie or coupon that I could find! I already was a pretty big coupon user, and I learned that baby coupons help a TON.

I have been able to stock up a couple of full diaper bags (my first one, plus one as a baby shower gift) completely using free samples of diapers and formula, plus freebies that I got by combining coupons with sales! And many of the baby companies will send you coupons for FREE product too, just for joining their mailing list.

Here are some great baby freebies to take advantage of:

Most of you know that I am a big fan of Baby to Bee. They have tons of free sample offers, giveaways, and coupons. Plus, they are a helpful resource too. Love it.

Gerber is a great, trusted brand. And when you sign up to get more information about the Gerber Grow Up Plan (an insurance plan for baby) they also send you out some freebies. Last time I heard, it included a free “Baby on Board” decal for your car, plus a free Child Safety ID Kit.

Planning Family is another one that I like alot. They post TONS of diaper coupons! There are always new offers here, you can sign up for a weekly newsletter that follows your babies development, and I have found answers to so many questions on this site! Very helpful.

I only use Pampers diapers, they’ve been my favorite so far that I’ve tried for Abby. Plus, I get a great deal ordering them from Amazon with the Amazon Mom program. If you use them too, sign up for the Gifts to Grow program to earn rewards!! Even if you don’t use them, you can simply use my FREEBIE codes to earn points to redeem. You can read my list of points in this post. Plus, you get 100 BONUS points just for signing up!

Plus, you can find more newsletters to sign up for in my post here… Scroll to the bottom to read about all of the companies that feature baby products. Newsletters are an awesome way to get coupons!

And, you can WIN a BIG prize package of baby goodies from ME!!! Enter to win in my giveaway here, and find a bunch of other new giveaways to enter (not all baby themed) in this BIG contest list here.

Free “Baby on Board” Decal

Most of you already know that I am a big fan of Planning Family…

I love all of the great offers the post for things like FREE diapers, formula, and baby food! They have lots of great coupons, and fun giveaways too. Today I got an email with a great offer, and thought you might want to get it too:

Today at Planning Family you can sign up to get more information about the Gerber Life Grow-Up Plan, which is a really affordable insurance plan you can start now for your baby. When you request some info on it like I did today, they’ll send you a bunch of other goodies including a really cool “Baby on Board” decal for your car window.

I’ve actually been planning to get some info about the Grow-Up Plan for awhile, but to be honest, I really wanted that decal, so it motivated me to finally check it out :)

Free Coupon E-Course Available Now!

Check out the new FREE Coupon E-Course!

I signed up for this last week, and am really happy with it so far. Great information for beginners, and some new tips that I didn’t know yet. Plus, they have tons of other great resources that you use on their site too.

Read more:

This FREE couponing e-course will teach you to get hundreds of dollars a month in free household items, food, and toiletries. Click Here to sign up today and start saving!

They’re not saying that you will get all of your products for free, but that you could have savings of hundreds of dollars a month. At first that sounded really unreasonable to me, but then I thought about my own savings already… I go grocery shopping once every week and a half usually, and save around $30-$40 per trip.

So I guess that these coupon savings really do add up quickly! I’d never thought about it as saving “hundreds of dollars”, but I do save around $100 bucks a month. That realization made me pretty proud of myself! :)

I know that if I take the time to learn a little more, and start using more of the store match-ups, I can save even more. So I am excited to be a part of this e-course. Check it out, and let me know if it helps you out with your savings too!

And for more coupon savings, check out my Super Coupon Sunday resource in this post. Plus, I’m looking for people who would be interested in doing a guest post on couponing tips for a new series I’d like to start in a couple of weeks. Let me know in the comments of via email if you are intersted!
