Babysteals!!!!!

So, I was wrong yesterday....yesterday's babysteal was not the Klean Kanteen....that was front the night before! (The babysteal changes at 9am and at 9pm) Yesterday's babysteal was a pack of gdiapers!!! Which I totally took as a sign! And of course I scooped one up!
But then last nite, I couldn't sleep....and for whatever reason, I still haven't figured it out, I don't get the email blast about the 9pm steal...Well, I couldn't sleep so I got on Babysteals and scooped up a super cute nursing cover. (Did I mention that we don't have anything for this baby?) This cover by Andee Lew, is one of the cutest things ever...and one I have totally drooled over on their site! Well, on babysteals last nite is was 50% of it's list price!!!! YEAH!!!

In other kid news...I'm getting ready to make corn salsa tonite, which I will post the recipe for and of course a picture! This is for part of the dinner for Friday nite's swim meet. Annie will be swimming in the Gabrielle Rose Classic, which is hosted by Memphis Tiger Swimming. She is super excited!!! Geoff and I are too, but since she's been really working hard on her times, she's probably a little more excited than we are...especially considering whenever there is a home meet....we have to work! LOL!

Today Jonas is going to the doctor to hopefully be cleared to go to school. He has been home for the past 2 days, and let me tell you, working with him on all of his homework is A TON of work! I don't know how they do it! I thought teaching High School was hard...but last nite, it seemed easier than what I did with my son!!! YIKES!

Here's the Corn Dip:

2 cans mexicorn (drained)
8 oz sour cream (I use fat free)
8 oz mayo (I use real)
12 oz shredded cheddar (I use real)
1 Tbs garlic POWDER (not salt)
1 Tbs Accent
~1 bunch scallions chopped (I use the greens also)
1 small jar chopped pimiento (and I chop finer)
Jalapenos to tasted (chopped fine)

I usually mix the mexicorn and cheese together in one bowl.  I then mix everything else together in a smaller bowl, which allows it all to mix together uniformly. I then add that into the mexicorn/cheese mixture and mix
together.

I make no less than one day ahead - it gives all the flavors time to blend. Anything more than 1 day, and I'd eat it all.

Enjoy and have fun.

My ever expanding belly

Thought I'd give you and idea of how much bigger my belly is getting...My sister came over on saturday and took these for me. I was wearing my new Ingrid & Isabell top that I got at target. Can you see the picky stick? I was ssoooo excited when these arrived, I couldn't wait to be able to take pictures! The stickers are designed to stick on an article of clothing so that you can take pictures as your belly grows...even cuter? They come in monthly stickers for the baby, so as baby grows, you can take a monthly picture! How fun!!!!

 In other news, I went to our local consignment store today, Summer Kids and got some really cute maternity clothes. I was very excited about that! I also got Annie a new cardigan for school and footed pj's for Jonas! He looks super cute in them and if he ends up having to stay home for another sick day...he'll be the cutest sickling ever! (Personally, I'm hoping that he goes back tomorrow! Working all day as a teacher and then coming home and being a 1st grade optional school teacher is so MUCH work!!) I had no idea how much they got done with in one day! OMG!!!

Cloth diapering?

So I subscribe to the steals, ie, babysteals, kidsteals and scrapbooksteals. They are an exceptional group of sites! Especially if you are a bargain hunter like I am.

Well, today's item dejour on babysteals was a super cute mommy/baby combo of Klean Kanteen for 51% off the retail price. But what really caught my eye....the surprise giveaway!

The surprise giveaway was a starter pack of cloth diapers from gDiapers. I have been thinking a lot about cloth diapering and what my options (and expense!!) might be in doing so. Up until this point I honestly felt like it was going to be sooo incredibly expensive and crazy that trying to cloth diaper was going to be nuts. But, after looking at the gDiapers and what options they have available, I am starting to think that this might be a tangible option for us. They are incredibly affordable and come with both the cloth and disposable options so that when you are out and about you don't have to lug around a stinky, soiled cloth diaper and you can just tosh the soiled biodegradeable insert! It's the best of both worlds!!!

I'm very excited about this new opportunity!

Fun ways to snag deals!

Everyone needs a fun way to get deals and I have 3!

These websites are the most incredible thing that I ever stumbled upon and as a mom, I am slightly bummed that another mom is who told me about it and I didn't find it on my own!

BabySteals is great because at 9am and again at 9pm they post one new something that is awesome for babies! It's a great way to find out about the new things that are available for babies and most of the deals are 50% off of the retail price or more!

Kidsteals is another great from the "steals" family. They mostly post things for little kids, not really for "big kids", but they're good finds nonetheless. Love it!

ScrapbookSteals is AMAZING! Now, for those of you who don't scrapbook, these find are also great for making cards, craft projects, etc. But for those of you who do, you know how costly scrapbooking can become. This is the place to find everything one day at a time and find things you never even knew about! How fun is that?!?

Be ware, you are limited on the quantity of what you are allowed to purchase and for some of the really awesome things, you are racing against the clock to get what you want! They had BabyLegs a while back and, no joke, they were sold out in less than an hour!

Happy Stealing! :)
