"Take out Thursday" - 3.6.14

Morning!  Take out Thursday is going to be a day to share what other gems Ive found in the online world to share with you.

First one I want to share is a blog my girlfriends and I created - called Pinteresting Mamas.  As our babies have grown, its slowed down, but its a great blog that encompasses everything pinterest. 

"We’ve all been there…You love it, you want to make it, do it, bake it, believe it.

You want to drink that smoothie, eat that cookie, do that workout, buy that product.

You pin it. Now what? Aside from becoming a workout obsessed super crafter who makes a 9 course homemade meal 7 days a week, what is a supermom to do? How do you know if all the effort is worth it? Enter your very own As-Seen-On-TV-Martha-Jillian-Wonder Woman wanna bes who have BEEN there, PINNED that, and Hey-Mamma-How’d-You-Like-A-Review-To-Go-With-Those-Flourless-Chocolate-Cookies (delicious, by the way).

Meet us.

The Mama Mafia.

We are here to make your Pinteresting life a little more so, and to save you some time on the crafts that aren’t so…Pinteresting."

The Pinteresting Mamas have a multitude of talents, from sewing, to drinking, to cooking, and beyond.  Some of my favorite posts are a humor filled post about 'detachment parenting', Saturday night drink posts, more specifically about Long Islands, and family fun posts learning about the scientific method.

The most recent post is from today, about a handy way to keep eggs a good size for a sandwich.  I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I do, and if you have suggestions on other blogs to share, email me at TheFrugalMamas@gmail.com!

September 13th - Freebies/Companies to write to!

Hola people!

Short post today - not a whole heck of a lot going on in the world of freebies, but there are some!

So...companies to write too - I've received some great baby items and coupons in the mail this week!

1.  Mustela - This is a GREAT company.  A little about them from their site: Mustela® prides itself as being the skincare expert for babies and mothers-to-be. For this reason, Mustela® offers effective, easy-to-use products of the highest quality, designed to meet the specific needs of newborns, babies, children and expectant and new mothers. Mustela® has a simple and effective answer to each condition.

And they will gladly send you a sample (or, in my case FOUR!!) if you kindly request it!  Contact them here!

2.  Lansinoh - One of my top favorites as a mother.  Nursing is hard.  It is the most natural thing that doesn't come naturally, and Lansinoh does their part to help you, as a mom, adjust.  Per your request, they will send samples of nursing pads, milk storage bags, and their lanolin cream (BEST THING EVER).  Contact them here.

They also have a coupon on storage bags rights now, click here.

3. Lastly, Similac.  For formula, they are expensive, but they do offer a similac strong moms program.  There are lots of benefits, but the most useful thus far, I think, are the checks they mail (for so much off formula) and random coupons I've received.  Just yesterday, I got a coupon in the mail for $4 off a SimplySmart bottle.  They are $3.97 individually at Walmart. Thank you Similac.  Check it out - there are also other things you get - shutterfly credit, pregnancy journal, you can ask for the satchel at the hospital.  Sign up here!

Now for a few freebies!!

3 samples of tea - and the best part is that YOU get to choose what you want!

 

Samples for Airborne Immune Support, Maybelline Fit me Shine Free and Snapple kcups here!

Lastly - at noon PST on 9.16, munchkin is giving away FREE cups. Set your alarm :D 
(It has been brought to my attention that the mobile apps do not support this particular function, so to access this link, you will need to be on a pc)

Enjoy!
