CircleBuzz ~ the best Daily Online Coupon for SD moms!

I have found my new favorite online coupon company and I am super excited to share!  Check out CircleBuzz - it is awesome! It works like several other sites you may have heard of - one awesome deal each weekday.  The other day for example they had 'Babies in Bloom' $40 gift certificates for only $19!

What sets CircleBuzz apart is that it is all geared towards families and children friendly activities - so perfect for so many of my readers! I heard about them only recently through a friend and I am SO glad I did!  I love a good deal and the fact that everything is geared towards families is so great - I know that every email is going to have sometime I would likely use, not like some of the other companies that may be hit and miss.

Another thing that I really love is that it is locally run by moms here in San Diego - nothing against big corporations, but I really love to support local businesses!

Check them out today!

Amazon.com Memorial Day Sale!

Amazon.com has a GREAT Memorial Day sale going on right now! Although it is not region specific I know that just about everyone shops on Amazon for their great deals and huge selection and now it is even better!

Also - I know many of my readers earn Amazon gift cards through Swagbucks - make them work harder! I have $25 in Amazon gift cards burning a hole in my pocket right now and I think I found just the motivation to spend them!

If you are not signed up for Swagbucks yet you can sign up here and get a bonus 30 swagbucks just for joining! Just click the link!  I periodically post hints on where to find codes on my Facebook page so we can all earn faster! (note - you are not allowed to share the actual codes, but you can give hints on where to find them!) More questions about Swagbucks and how to earn your free gift cards? Read my much longer post about Swagbucks! I simply use Swagbucks instead of Google and I earn free stuff - nice!

Again - my apologies for it not being region specific - but hey - San Diegians like to save money online too right??

Enjoy ~

Petunia Pickle Bottom Outlet Sale going on now

Again, not San Diego specific - but I see ALOT of Petunia Picklebottom diaper bags out there is San Diego & I thought I should alert everyone of this sale....

So for a short time we thought we might be adopting this spring, long story short we aren't, I mean, we are - but not this spring - well one of the silly things I got really excited about was having a cute designer diaper bag like all of my friends - so I got on the Petunia Picklebottom email list in hopes of scoring a very good deal - well here is a very good deal that I have no use for just yet - click here - but you go right ahead =)

I suggest the 'Misty Shanghi' boxy backpack - SOOOOO cute! (exactly how wrong would it be for me just the carry the bag when I don't have an actual baby to go with it??)

PS - Nordstrom Rack also sells Petunia Picklebottom bags for much less than they sell for in Nordstrom, boutiques, and their online store.
