Burberry Sale
Friday, November 21, 2008

Nothing says classic and chic to me like a plaid Burberry Trench Coat. Unfortunately, even their "cheapie" packaway trench is waaaay out of my price range. Today Burberry begins their annual sale at Santana Row, with items discounted up to 40% off. It's still too much of a splurge for me, but I can dream, can't I?...

One of my favorite hip kid brands, the Tea Collection, is holding their Sample Sale on November 14 and 15 up in San Francisco.

Russ Seapals Giveaway
Wednesday, November 12, 2008

My kids are suckers for plush sea creatures. So far, we've got a clownfish, seal, orca, walrus, and 3 sea stars. From time to time, I try to stem the tidal wave of plushies that make their way to our house, (by donating some to charity when they aren't looking). However, 3Po, Jammy and Pea love playing with stuffed toys so much that when a good quality...

Could you be a White Trash Mom? Have you ever picked your child up late from school? Do you give them plain ol' PBJ sandwiches on white bread -- but are afraid to admit it in front of the other mothers who brag about serving only trans-fat-free, organic produce? If so, you may be a White Trash Mom -- so embrace it!Written by mommyblogger Michelle Lamar,...

Po's Tasty Training
Friday, November 07, 2008

One thing I really like about the Tag Reading System by Leapfrog is that the books compatible with the Tag reader can be enjoyed just like regular storybooks -- and cost about the same as the regular hardcover versions. Take Po's Tasty Training, Tag's Kung Fu Panda activity storybook. 3Po and Jammy love Kung Fu Panda but are too scared to watch...
Walter the Farting Dog
Thursday, November 06, 2008

As if I don't have enough to do, I'm toying with the idea of joining NaBloPoMo (posting every day in November) for this blog as well as for Finding Bonggamom. After all, it's not as if there aren't tons of kids' and moms' products out there to talk about. Why, the contents of last weekend's LeapFrog Party goody bag alone could keep me going for several...
Leapfrog discount code
Wednesday, November 05, 2008

At last Sunday's party, the Silicon Valley Moms bloggers got a preview of Leapfrog's latest and greatest education gaming products.

Tis the Season to Win Prizes!
Saturday, November 01, 2008
After all the Halloween Hoopla, it's tempting to indulge in the post-holiday blues (namely, gobbling up all the candy because I tell myself there's nothing to do). In order to slap that out of me, I have to find something to keep my mind occupied and my spirits lifted. So I'm participating in NaBloPoMo (via my personal blog, Finding Bonggamom).And what about on this blog? Well, November is my blogaversary month (I started Finding Bonggamom 2 years ago on November 20), so I've decided to celebrate...
