[music]

Erin: We’re back and we’re talking about babies.

One important thing to keep in mind is the baby shower that awaits you.

Absolutely sign up for your favorite stores and make a registry.

Mothers can walk away with cribs, strollers, carseats and more onesies

than you baby can wear.

Bitsy: Absolutely. And definitely withstand the temptation to just

open up everything and hang it up because after the baby is born and

you bring it home, you might find that you don’t need all of that stuff,

some of it is unnecessary and you really wish you had the ability to

return it for something you really need, like a massage.

Erin: haha yes, like a massage. Now a site we love for all kinds of deals

including baby needs is cheap stingy bargains

Bitsy: Ah those three magic words.

Erin: Yes, CheapStingyBargains.com (00:50) They have all kinds of deals

and coupons codes, as well as a caparison of your favorite retailers

and ratings based on them. So look to them as well as retailmenot.com (1:01)

for deals that you may not see advertised at the big name baby stores.

And, all of our frugalicious methods still apply.

Bitsy: Alright ladies, so what do we do? We look for price matching

opportunities. We look for rebates and coupons…

Erin: Mmmhmm

Bitsy: And we order through cash back sites when we can.

So lets take a minute to talk about cash back websites.

These are websites that actually pay you to shop through them.

Erin: Now let’s repeat that agin.

Bitsy & Erin: They pay you to shop through them.

Bitsy: You shop at your major retailers that you would want to

but you just go through their website and they give you back a

percentage of what you spend.

Erin: So let’s give you so examples, if you would like to shop at babies r us,

do it through the site bigcrumbsrebates (1:41) and earn a 3% cashback.

and if you sign up for ebates rebates cash back (1:46) get 4% while shopping

at Target online

Bitsy: and 7% back when you shop at the disney store. Now ok they don’t sell

diapers but Junior’s going to love that little Micky mobile hanging over the crib.

Erin: Seriously these are real, real and helpful savings.

Bitsy; Absolutely, now by the way, on a personal note, i just don’t

think that designer clothes should be on any baby shower list.

I mean, my personal rule if the kid can’t read the label,

then it doesn’t matter what it is.

Erin: But what if the mom can read the label

?

Bitsy: Well then she better get a great deal at Topsy.com or Zulilly.com (1:50)

because those sites are going to deliver those brands at 50% off

and if she doesn’t, she’s not going to be the frugalicious mom of the year.

Erin: and we want all of you to be fruglicious moms this year.

Bitsy: mmhm

Erin: So stay tuned and we’ll tell you how to do it

Bitsy: yes

When it comes to babies, no one knows what the trend will be for their clothes. The mothers and fathers of the children today were the kids/teenagers of the 80’s generation punk rock/alternative era. Many chose to stay in the 1980s and not grow up. A Peter Pan condition seems to have hit. Many parents will dress their little Joeys or Siouxsies, which are matter of punk rock and biker attire. Many baby-clothing outlets love these types. They are intended to fashion even the most anarchistic and anti social parents proud to sport their child around, saying, “Isn’t my baby adorable in punk rock clothing.”

There are numerous specialty shops and online stores that offer these types of clothing. Most of them intended for just for babies and infants and designed in a tee-shirt format or one-piece suits. Listed below are some of the slogans used and can be found:

“Hung Like A 5-year old”
“If You Can Read This… THE BIB FELL OFF!” (UK oriented)
“Mom Knows A Lot, But Grandma Knows Everything.”
“If Mommy Says No, Ask Daddy”
“Little Punker” (UK oriented)
“It’s Not Going To Change Itself” – this is in reference to a diaper in need of changing. On the shirt, there is a picture of Stewie from Family Guy and he is his rear end out of his outfit, asking for a change. (It’s really cute!)

Most of the clothing’s color comes in the traditional blacks, reds and pinks used by punk rockers of yesterday and today. Some of these slogans can be found in the United Kingdom as well as in the United States. The ones seen in the UK can be found on the Internet and for those in the US, it is the same way.

A popular British baby outlet does very good. The name of it is called The Rally Shack. It has the “The Bib Fell Off” shirt in sizes 6 months, 18 months and 24 months. It does so well that one has to think that the punk rocker of the yesterdays saved up their money just to buy these outfits. This outfit, among many, many others retails around $18 US money and £10 UK cash. $18 bucks is a heavy price for an outfit that is going to have spit up and poop on it as well as be outgrown in no time. Yet, children need clothes and parents do have their styles too. There is a market for these types of outfits.

Listed below are two shops that do specialize in these outfits:

The Kids Window – Based out of the UK, the site offers the US, UK, European and other world versions and sells conventional and alternative baby clothing. Many clothing are offered including hoodies. Prices for the outfits range from £12 to £16.99 (approximately $22 to $31 US money).

Lucky L’il Devil – Based out of the US, the site offers everything any parent possibly will want to turn the baby into a little hoodlum under on roof. In addition to rock and pop culture enthused Tee shirts such as humors shirt readings along with the Betty Page and homage tees that are offered; they also sport apron dresses and leggings that accept images of situational events. One such tee shirt reads, “Daddy Drinks because I Cry.” The stores prices vary from $17 to $18 for t-shirts while the apron dresses are $34 to $36 and $17 for the leggings.

You know parents today are more active than their baby boomer counterparts of a few decades ago. Not only do they work, but they also have active lifestyles which include exercise, socialization, and other outdoor activities in which baby should not be excluded from. Frequently, the traditional stroller does not fit this type of lifestyle. The active, energetic young couples they may want to consider lightweight strollers for their families so that their babies can be a part of any outdoor activities that are going on.

Strollers and stroller shopping are important activities parents need to do to help transport their children from one place to another. Many couples are living a very active lifestyle and they need more than the traditional stroller or a travel system stroller. Lightweight strollers can have adjustable handles and weigh, in most cases, considerably less than 25 pounds. This allows parents to be able to take not only the stroller and the child, but also allows the couple to be able to transport the stroller in their vehicles without taking up too much room.

Lightweight strollers come in many shapes and sizes, but when you are shopping for one, either to supplement a full sized stroller or just get a new stroller, keep in mind that this style of stroller is best for older babies who can already sit up on their own and toddlers as well. Make sure your selection includes safety features which keep the stroller from folding when in use and is made of materials easy to clean. Another feature to verify is the height of the handlebars. Some very tall or very petite parents require adjustable handles and handlebars to accommodate their statures.

Another form of lightweight stroller for the very active lifestyle family is a lightweight version of the jogging stroller. Jogging strollers can be quite lightweight and usually have a rather large compartment for storing baby’s items underneath the seating area which can be used for toys or diaper bags or blankets. The lightweight jogging stroller is light enough for you to push the child ahead of you and at the same time get a workout that many mothers don’t have the opportunity to get. You get the cardiovascular benefits from pushing a lightweight jogging stroller, but you also get the workout that allows you to work out your calves, thighs, and other leg muscles, all while taking baby out as well.

Lightweight strollers are wonderful for most families that are on the go. If a family travels a lot and moves from one place to another either by car or by air, lightweight strollers are essential in getting the baby with you to the airport, train station or bus terminal, or any other venue the family wishes to travel by. Lightweight strollers are usually less expensive than the traditional travel systems for babies and many lightweight strollers can be found online and can be purchased and shipped to your house with little to no effort at all, which is ideal for busy families!

It is difficult decision

Simply we love it, we like to wear and feel good about it. Somehow it seems to enhance our appearance and appeal a great deal. Our eyes are so conditioned that the people in designer clothing seem to look smarter and more energetic than those in modern regular outfits.

It is a straight forward decision in case of parents and elders; they go in for custom outfits even if they are a bit more expensive. But it is essential expense in the context of social living. But when it comes to making decision with regard to buying custom clothes for children we are confused and the decision swings between yes and no indecisively. Parents do want their children well dressed and presentable. Their smart looks among the kids of friends is a pleasure to watch. When appreciated by high-end society friends it is almost an achievement leading to the ascending steps of social recognition. But the utter uselessness of buying designer clothes for children too cross the mind because soon the children will grow and leave behind the costly designer clothes smaller in size as unusable. So it becomes a hard decision to make.

Some reasons to buy designer clothes

If the values of social standards weigh more than the value of money in your life, you should go for designer clothes for children.

If the parents have friends in the circle who notice what their children wear and evaluate, then it is imperative that they buy specially made clothes for their children even though they might feel the pinch of the expense a bit.

Above all there is one reason which makes most of the parents go in for designer clothes for their children. That is the magic of love, they want to see their children in the best set of clothes and they wish to provide their children with the best.

Some reasons for not buying high end clothing

One major reason for not buying designer clothes for children is the cost of them. They are surely very expensive when compared to non-designer fashion wear. In recent times as the cost of living has risen to touch the sky, for many parents it is not an appealing idea to go in for designer clothes for their children.

And the second deterrent faction is simply a biological reason. The way children grow in fast pace these days buying expensive high end materials is a risky affair. You wont know for how long the clothe would remain fit in size. When children out grow the size of their dress they abandon it as though they are something that the cat has brought in.

The reason parents easily could attribute to decide against kids suits is that the children are not aware whether they wear custom patterns or other fashion wear. And the children actually do not care what brand of wear they adorn themselves with.

The basis for a decision

In the ultimate analysis the decision to buy or not to buy personally designed clothes for children depends on the parents. If you wish to see them in designer clothes, go for it but be sure that to your children those are just clothing and they are going to use them as they use the clothes they wear at home because it does not matter much whether they are in modern outfits or some other.

But it is also an irrefutable fact that the present world is highly fashion conscious and fashion, social standards and social prestige go hand in hand and all complement and enhance each other supportability. And what you or your kids wear is actually the life-style statement you make, a statement that expresses your attitude about life. To be in the lime light of fashion is imperative in the present world.

Designer clothes are affordable

All the discussion about buying or not buying personalized clothing for children is because of its exhaustive price. Walking into any designer showroom makes you a bit jittery even if you have a million dollars in your pocket when you see the price tag. But this is no more the case with on line shopping.

You can now buy online the best of designer wear at cost that you can afford. The online shopping turns out to be less expensive because there are no overhead expenditure, no showroom cost and so on and all these benefits are shared with the consumer and so online shopping is less expensive.

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Toys are the hottest toy for Christmas 2009, it is the must-have holiday toy. They are are the hottest craze among kids age of 3 or 4 and expected to be the most popular toy of the year. BUT… Zhu Zhu Pets are playing the disappearing game. As we close in for the Christmas Holiday the Zhu Zhu pet it is getting more difficult to find and expensive.

These cute robotic creatures melted many hearts, but I had a hard time this Black Friday finding any zhu zhu pets for my kids. Toys R Us had just a 100 for the lucky first in line. I was able to get one, after standing on line for about 2 hrs! I decided I’m not running around town collecting all the pets I need one by one, so I went to Amazon. Yes, of course I paid more but it was worth the peace of mind knowing my kids won’t be disappointed this Christmas Holiday.

Amazon sells Zhu Zhu pets hamster toys for well over $20. It is the best chance of still picking them up in time for the Christmas Holiday. I strongly recommend you don’t wait, especially if your child or grandchild really has their heart set on this toy.

So, you may be wondering, what exactly is the great allure? Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Toys were formerly called ‘go go pets’. They are amazing toy hamsters that are an engaging and stimulating to children. These little hamster toys look like the real thing but don’t make a mess and can be ignored for as long as you want without them dying or running off. I think they are extremely popular due to the fact that, this is the world’s first innovative, realistic, interactive, plush, and artificially intelligent hamster that talks and moves around in their own play sets.

There are 5 Zoo Zoo Pets, each hamster has its own unique personality and makes whimsical sounds. The kids can’t help but just love them!

*Chunk is the laid-back surfer hamster who is famous for chillin’ out, hangin’ back and layin’ low.
*Pipsqueak she loves to play, explore, run and slide.
*Squiggles he’s a hamster on a mission: Explore Galore, then explore some more.
*Numnums her higly trained sniffer can detect a carrot from a mile away, so stand back and watch her search to find some munchies.
*Patches is the Zhu Zhu pet that is only available as part of a bundled package. The most widely available packages, includes the Funhouse or hamster House Starter Set. Patches is darker yellow in color with a large white patch on its back. Patches loves the flowers and in explore mode, goes about hunting them out. Fortunately Patches will be available in single packs starting November, and this November we will see the release of four new zhu zhu pets Jilly, Winkie, Nugget, and Scoodles.

Zhu Zhu pets are built with two modes;

* The Loving Mode which allows kids to pet them, love them,then hear them squeak and chatter back.
*The Explore Mode the pets drive around in little cars, zip up ramps and spin down slides, run in their hamster wheels, and get into all sorts of crazy situations.

Their artificial intelligence even allows them to know what room of their hamster habitat they are in.They make toilet-flushing or teeth-brushing sounds when they enter the bathroom and sleeping noises and alarm-clock sounds when they go into their bedroom.

The Zu Zu Pets Hamster Toys has multiple accessories available for purchase. Kids love to collect and connect them all to create their own customized hamster habitats.

Here are just a few of the many accessories available for purchase:

• Hamster funhouse
• Hamster wheel and tunnel
• Hamster-mobile and garage
• Spiral slide and ramp
• Adventure ball
• Surfboard and sleep dome
• Skateboard and U-turn
• Pet bed and blanket sets.

Anyway, if you don’t feel like hunting all over town for the Zhu Zhu Pets your kids are probably begging for, you can turn to Amazon. Wal- Mart is always sold out, but Amazon seems to have plenty of dealers selling these toys for a bit more money.

If you are about to have a baby or you or your family is planning to have a baby, the purchase of accessories for your new addition can prove to be an expensive but exciting experience. When shopping for Baby Strollers you might want to look into convenience strollers. Convenience strollers, commonly known as lightweight strollers, can make life easier because they’re not as cumbersome as the larger strollers which are now found at most stores. Convenience strollers allow you a major convenience for transporting your child from one place to another with a lighter, more versatile counterpart to the full size stroller.

Convenience strollers are one type of lightweight stroller and many have built into them accessories or features which are common to full sized strollers. One such feature you may find in a convenience stroller is the one handed closing mechanism. With just a quick flick of the wrist you can have your convenience stroller folded up into an easy to store position and ready to be used again when you need it. Another feature you can find is a canopy which can help keep your baby protected from the sun or rain drops if you need to be out in the rain. And, like their larger counterparts, the canopies are quite often adjustable or removable for added versatility.

Many convenience strollers can be used from birth in that they allow for a fully reclined seating position. If you do use this type of stroller for your very young baby, make sure to use an infant head support for your little one to help keep him or her comfortable. Most convenience strollers are mainly targeted for children who are able to sit up and hold their heads up and can usually accommodate children who weigh up to 40lbs, so you will get quite a bit of use from this style of stroller, both in the mall and out in the park. And the locking wheels help keep the stroller immobile when you need the stroller to be stopped.

There are some convenience strollers which have additional travel accessories such as cup holders, trays (or consoles), and large storage baskets. These items are useful especially when out for a day at the mall or traveling via plane or train. The convenience stroller is much easier to travel with since it is lighter and less bulky and therefore takes up less space on a plane or train or in your vehicle. And as previously mentioned, convenience strollers usually have a one handed closing mechanism which can help you close the stroller quickly if you are in a hurry boarding your plane. You can feel confident that years later you will not have to buy another piece of equipment or accessories to go along with the stroller.

So keep in mind, if you are planning a family outing or are traveling with a little one, consider a convenience stroller. Why lug around a large full sized stroller when you can have everything you need whether you are in your car, home, or hotel? Convenience strollers always live up to their name.

Parents always have to remember that the clothes they should buy for their children should be comfortable. Comfort should first be taken into consideration before style and design when shopping for children’s clothes. Experts recommend that moms buy lightweight kids’ clothes so their children can freely move and feel comfortable.

Kids’ clothes should be able to fit well with minimum allowance. In addition to that, clothes that will be chosen shouldn’t have drawstrings since it can lead to strangulation hazard. Ribbons or extra buttons should also be notes as they can become a choking hazard. Parents can only gradually buy clothes with drawstrings and buttons if their children are already grown enough to see the possible dangers associated with drawstrings and buttons.

Style is always secondary. Aside from drawstrings and buttons, make sure that the chemical used in creating the design of your kids’ shirt is safe. The clothes should also be easy to remove most especially during emergency cases.

It is highly suggested that parents purchase clothes at specialized stores for kids since the staff of these stores can very well relate to children. Many moms and dads prefer to shop for kids’ clothes and kids’ footwear online. With online shopping, you will save a lot of money, not to mention time and effort, all you have to do is make sure that the clothes fit.

For those who don’t know Red Hill, it was created by Terese & Kel Clark after the sale of their previous business Barnsley House B & B and the exciting arrival of their two children Audrey and Will.

Kel and Terese opened their first Red Hill store in Beechworth, North East Victoria in December 2006 offering an extensive range of childrens clothing, footwear and accessories and also added to the mix ladies footwear and handbags. They recently opened their sister store in Albury, New South Wales in October 2007 and now excitingly they would love to welcome our past and also new customers to ‘Red Hill Online’.

Their main focus is to provide quality products from Australian designers and where possible Australian made. They endeavour to provide you with products that are Unique, Safe, Fun & Different.

A Sun Conure parrot named Sunny. Who could resist such a cute parrot? There he sits on the end of a branch; his head turned nearly 180 degrees toward his back; his dark shiny eye peering at you with a knowing look.

A bright Sun Conure parrot named Sunny. If you have ever seen a Sun Conure parrot, you know exactly what I mean. If you have not, let me describe one.

Description of a Sun Conure Parrot

Sunny, the Sun Conure parrot, is a stunning bird, dressed in a shimmering, hooded shirt of gold with a sun-kissed, orange face. His wings and tail are shades of green and blue, mixed with a hint of gold. The Sun Conure parrot is only 12″ long, including a long tail. Its beak and feet both are black. The eyes are dark brown in a white circle.

Personality of a Sun Conure Parrot

A Sun Conure parrot is a playful, inquisitive bird. Owners can’t seem to find enough words to describe these little bundles of sunshine, but they try. A few of their favorites are:

* Active
* Comical
* Cuddly
* Curious
* Cute
* Energetic
* Entertaining
* Feisty
* Fun
* Loving
* Spunky

Playtime for a Sun Conure Parrot

A Sun Conure parrot’s playtime is comical, to say the least. It loves its owners, and it loves to entertain them. Given a multitude of toys and a swing or two, the Sun Conure parrot will swing, jump, climb, and call out to you as he shows everything he can do. Even without toys, the Sun Conure parrot will develop its own tricks, just to play. It has a very high energy level, and sometimes appears to be a bundle of golden perpetual motion.

Appropriate Toys for a Sun Conure Parrot

Sun Conure parrots enjoy chewing aggressively, and will need several wooden toys to destroy. They will destroy them, too, reducing a medium-sized wooden toy to bits and pieces in a few hours. They are not as eager to play with puzzle toys, probably because they have so much energy to harness. Provide toys that call for activity and “letting off steam” and they will be happy.

Sun Conure parrots enjoy chains, ropes, and other things from which to swing. They love loud bells, but be sure you do, since a Sun Conure parrot will ring it incessantly at times. Rotate the toys every couple of weeks so that your bird will not become bored.

Appropriate Cage for a Sun Conure Parrot

Sun Conure parrots need room to fly around and use up their surplus energy. A website that recommends bird cages according to the size of the parrot, such as Bird Cages, will help you get a large enough cage. Generally, a 20″ x 20″ cage, about 3 feet high is good for a Sun Conure parrot. The bar spacing should be between 0.75 inches and 1″ so that your parrot cannot get its head stuck between the bars. To give your bird proper exercise for its feet, install 3 different perches in the cage, each made of a different substance.

The Sun Conure Parrot’s Talking Ability

Generally speaking, most parrots can be taught to talk if the owner follows a proven, consistent course of training. The Sun Conure parrot is not the best talker, however. With patience, you will be able to teach your bird a few words. With care, you will also be able to teach it not to screech for attention. It is common for Sun Conure parrots to screech to greet the day, and to end the day. In between, your bird should learn to be less vocal. Some have found that their Sun Conure parrots like to imitate beeping tones.

Food for a Sun Conure Parrot

The Sun Conure parrot does well on a basic diet of organic pellets. Organic pellets give your Sun Conure parrot a balanced diet in every bite. Avoid seed-based foods, as the parrot will pick out the seeds and leave the rest. The result will be a malnourished parrot.

In addition to organic pellets, give your parrot the variety it craves by providing fresh fruits and vegetables. Sun Conure parrots usually enjoy apples, grapes, melons, and oranges. Among vegetables, they will eat things such as broccoli, carrots, corn, lettuce, and peas. Keep seeds and nuts as a special treat.
