Custom Nursing Covers

2011-04-05T13:35:00.000-07:00

Are you a breastfeeding mom or have a friend or family member that is? Well this is for you, breastfeed in public without fear of exposure! I am now taking orders for custom nursing covers. If you breastfeed you know what a hassle it can be to try and keep a blanket draped over you and baby. Whether baby is tugging at the blanket or the blanket just does not stay put, it can result in the exposure of your breast to those around you. I know all to well how embarrassing that can be! Why not have your hands free with one of my nursing covers?! My nursing covers feature an adjustable strap that goes around your neck to help keep your breasts and baby covered at all times. My nursing covers are two-sided and feature a flannel back to keep your little one warm on cold days and to give you someplace to wipe up their messy milk face. Custom nursing cover's start at $20 plus shipping. Please contact me at southsoundjems@hotmail.com or at my Facebook page South Sound Jem's to get your quote today!!

Custom Boppy Covers

2011-04-05T12:48:00.000-07:00

I am currently taking orders for Boppy nursing pillow covers. We can make a Boppy cover to match your little's ones nursery, to showoff your favorite sports team, or even showcase your/there favorite cartoon character, generally whatever your heart desires! I have made a Strawberry Shortcake cover, a Seahawks cover, and a girlie rock and roll themed cover, to name a few. These Boppy covers are completely customizable and start at a low $20 (plus shipping). The covers can increase in price depending on the fabric/material used. These covers are removable and washable. I can make a Boppy cover with any fabric and any pattern. Please contact me at southsoundjems@hotmail.com or on my Facebook page at South Sound Jem's for a quote, if you are interested in a Boppy cover for your little one!

Wow, I can't believe it has almost been a month since my last post. I am so sorry!! This pregnancy has been kicking my bootie. Most days even thinking about sitting at the computer makes me ill. I have definitely been sick and tired, and I am SO very sick of it. I hold onto the joy of what will come of these months of being sick though, and I cannot wait! Hopefully in about a months time we will know what baby #3 is and I will have my energy back. Until then I will continue to trudge on and fill my time with crafting cute stuff for baby to be.

DIAPERS DIAPERS DIAPERS!

2011-02-22T20:26:00.000-08:00

I just scored a pack of 100 Pampers diapers for FREE! Yes, FREE! Here's how I did it. You will first need to sign up for Amazon Mom, if you haven't done so already. You can sign-up or find out more information HERE. Amazon Mom will give you greater discounts, as well as free 2 day shipping on eligible purchases.

I then found a pack of diapers for right under $30 (Pampers $29.05). Using two different Amazon codes from Parents magazine ($10 off) and from American Baby magazine ( 20% off). Make sure to check your magazines for these coupons. There are often free offers for these magazines, or sometimes your doctor's office will have extra's or you can buy them in the store. Watch for a bright green postcard size ad stuck in the magazines, like this:

I have also heard you can stack (2) 20% off coupons if that is all you can find, but the first two letters/numbers in the code must be different in order to do so.

The other thing I took advantage of was the Subscribe and Save option which takes 30% off also. You can cancel this at anytime after your order ships. Since subscribing with Amazon Mom look for Prime eligible shipments, and you receive 2 day free shipping with that.

So here is what it looked like:

Item(s) Subtotal:	$29.05
Shipping & Handling:	$0.00
Promotion Applied:	-$5.81
Promotion Applied:	-$10.00
Promotion Applied:	-$8.72
	-----
Total Before Tax:	$4.52
Sales Tax:	$0.39
Gift Certificate/Card Amount:	$4.91
	-----
Total for This Shipment:	$0.00
Total paid by Gift Certificate/Card:	$4.91

To pay for the grand total I was able to use my $5 Amazon.com gift card collected from Swagbucks. If you haven't started using Swagbucks, I would highly suggest you do. You get "swagbucks" for just searching the internet like you do normally. If you are interested in signing up go HERE. If you have any questions PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK!!

Eat, Pray, Love DVD offer

2011-02-16T16:43:00.000-08:00

So if you are looking to buy the DVD of Eat, Pray, Love do I have a GREAT deal for you!! So right now Target has the DVD on sale for $9. Paired with a coupon from coupons.com for $4 off the Eat, Pray, Love DVD or Blu-ray and a rebate offer from Classico, the movie's final cost is $1 plus the cost of the pasta sauce for rebate. So here is the scenario:

Eat, Pray, Love DVD at Target = $9

2 Classico Pasta Sauces = 2x$1.99= $3.98

-Use (1) $4 off 1 DVD/Blu-ray HERE

-Use (2) $1 off 1 Classico sauce HERE

Then print your Mail-in-Rebate form HERE for $4 back and follow directions to submit

Your total for 2 Classico Pasta sauces and 1 Eat, Pray, Love DVD is $2.98

TARGET CLEARANCE!

2011-02-16T16:26:00.000-08:00

There are some GREAT deals to be had and will probably only get better at Target in their "The Great Save Event". So bring your coupons and get some even better scores! I was able to find:

use the Target.com coupon for $1 off Quaker oatmeal and a MFR coupon for $1 off Quaker instant oatmeal and it was only $1.94!!

Advent package of 6 pacifiers was marked down 50% to $7.48!! (That's roughly $1.25 a pacifier!)

Pair with a $.50 off coupon from Home Made Simply coupon booklet as low as $3.74

I also saw Pull-ups, Pampers Diapers and Wipes, Luvs Diapers, as well as Huggies Diapers and Wipes. There were 2 packs of JIF peanut butter, 2 packs of Bertolli Red Pasta Sauce, All Laundry Detergent, Gain Laundry detergent, Downy fabric softener, Bounce sheets as well as dryer bars, Angel Soft bath tissue, 10 packs of toothbrushes, 4 packs of toothpaste...the list goes on and on its really WAY too much to think of writing down. Don't fret though head over to TotallyTarget.com and she has a great write up of all that was found in the "Great Save Event" section and current clearance mark-downs, as well as where your "Great Save Event" leftovers may be hiding!

Full Circle Farms organic produce pick-up or home delivery!

2011-02-16T15:55:00.000-08:00

I have recently discovered the company/website Full Circle Farms. I think this is SUCH a great site! I am going to be setting up our subscription for pick-up A.S.A.P. Basically they offer a weekly, bi-weekly (every other week) pick-up,or home delivery (if that's available) for organic produce. They offer two different sizes of subscriptions; a standard size ($32 a week for pick-up) which says it feeds 2 adults with enough to feed one small child. As well as a family size subscription ($41 a week for pickup) that can feed a family of four comfortably. These fruits and vegetables are all organic and locally grown. If you want to find out more just visit their website HERE, and see the pick-up or delivery options for your area.
