Babies”R”Us The Sweetest Registry Deal Ever

 

This past June, my family was blessed with our third bundle of joy. For us, using the registry at Babies”R”Us is an old habit. It makes it hard to remember back in the days when we were expecting our first child, back before we knew how to do registries. And now, it’s my great pleasure to share some of my secrets for first time mothers filling out a registry with you.

First, when you walk into a store like Babies”R”Us, you go to the registry desk and ask to setup a registry. The people at Babies”R”Us will help with everything, and you will get a great welcome package, which includes a Baby Registry Planner with a full checklist of essential items, invitation cards to inform family and friends that you are registered at Babies”R”Us, a $5 off coupon for spending $25, product samples, and much more.

Then the fun really begins when they hand you that little hand scanner. My best advice here: go nuts! Scan everything you think you need, and scan everything you don’t think you need, but want. Babies”R”Us has an unmatched assortment of baby products, everything from bottles, diapers, strollers, toys…just about anything you could ever need or want for babies. And, with terrific assistance from their Registry Consultants, Babies”R”Us will make sure you’re ready for that special guy or girl.

And, if you set up your registry between now and November 15, 2013, you will enjoy the Sweetest Registry Deal Ever. You will earn 10% back on all purchases made from your registry, up to $200, in the form of an e-gift card about 10 weeks after the expected arrival date. That includes gifts given to you at your baby shower. So if your mother buys that nice stroller, or your friend gives you that dresser you had your eye on, you’ll get money you can use for things when the baby comes.

All-in-all, Babies”R”Us is the best place to register for your impending bundle of joy. With the widest selection, the greatest perks, and the most helpful staff imaginable, you will be well prepared for when you’re holding that precious baby in your arms.

Babies“R”Us is THE leading dedicated baby products retailer, and its registry, to date, has been used by more than 18 million parents and caregivers! The Sweetest Registry Deal Ever is the first promotion of its kind.

And BONUS! Babies“R”Us is giving away one (1) $50 gift card to a family treasures reader (U.S. residents only) to use for their Babies“R”Us needs. A big thank you to Babies“R”Us!

Back to School Allergy Tips from Claritin

backtoschoolIts back to school time! Are you as excited as I am? Haha! With backpacks and lunch boxes we also have to restock our medicine chest with our fall needs. One thing we reach for is Claritin.

This summer went by too fast for our family. We welcomed a new baby and my oldest baby went on a cruise with out me. So unfair! But now its back to the daily grind. With our oldest off to school I cant be around to shelter her from things that might cause a flair up but I know that we will have Claritin on hand if it does. I’m just glad our big guy doesn’t have any allergies! Below are some Allergy tips from Claritin.

Back to School Allergy Tips6a00e554e8b4c2883301901e96d3c9970b-800wi_thumb[8]

  1. Be sure to have Children’s Claritin, the #1 pediatrician-recommended non-drowsy allergy brand, on hand!
  2. Multi-vitamins are building blocks to having a strong immune system. Make taking a multi-vitamin part of your child’s daily routine.
  3. Let there be light! Mold doesn't like sunlight, so try to keep your curtains open during the day. Should be easy during the summer months!
  4. Did you know that most pillows trap allergens, dust mites, and bacteria? Monitor the cleanliness of the pillow your child with allergies sleeps on and replace if necessary.
  5. Back to school season means lots of laundry for many moms. Be sure to remove laundry from the washing machine promptly. Allowing wet clothes to sit in the washer means mold can quickly grow there.
  6. Monitor pollen counts and adjust outdoor before and after school activities accordingly. Dry, windy days can be particularly high in pollen.
  7. Showering or bathing at the end of the day as opposed to the morning can be helpful in removing allergens from body surfaces and hair.
  8. Stay hydrated! Always send your child to school with a bottle of water. Drinking lots of clear fluids through the day can help get rid of toxins and flush out body.
  9. Peak pollen production typically occurs in early morning, so try to plan outside activities at other times of the day.

What back to school tips do you have?
