If you’re planning a wedding in the next year, the Great Bridal Expo (with shows across the country) is offering two free tickets to anyone who requests them. The Great Bridal Expo features exhibits from retailers in absolutely every aspect of wedding planning, and can be a fabulous avenue for getting those creative wheels turning!
A name has been drawn from the list of those who RSVP’ed, and the winner of the Rosy Cheeks Big Sister doll with matching ballet attire is…Lisa Jaksik!
Last year, Fisher Price gave away copies of the Planet Heroes’ Ace in Space DVD. This year, the title is Here Comes the Sun. Order now and receive your free 16-minute episode within 12-14 weeks (for those of you who are skeptical, these really do ship 
).
My suggestions for uses of last year’s DVD apply here, as well: gift topper for a boy’s birthday, stocking stuffer, birthday party game prize, pick-me-up for a rough day at school, etc.
All who attend will have the opportunity to win…a Big Sister Ballerina!
My Princess Closet (one of my favorite “girly girl” stores) sells everything from amazingly ornate costumes to creative toys, and a multitude of things in between. Our latest treasure hunt through “THE Closet”, however, resulted in a Rosy Cheeks Big Sister doll, and an adorably authentic ballet outfit. By itself, the doll is cute with incredibly soft yarn hair, and perfect for a younger aged child, but it’s the combination of the doll AND the ballet outfit (with coordinating ballet slippers!) that give it that special boutique touch…a child’s unspoken gentle whisper of, “Yes, I really AM a princess”. What better way to showcase that elegance than with a dance recital?
This is perfect for children who have their own pets…it’s a birthday party for pets! Tomorrow, April 22nd from 6pm-8pm, bring your pet to Petsmart and join the celebrations. The party includes:
)
Happy Birthday to you…
Happy Birthday to you…
It’s not my birthday..
But how about you?
Anyone else have a family who thinks it’s hysterical to tell the restaurant waitstaff to embarrass you for your birthday…even when it’s NOT your birthday? Why is that funny? I try to be a good sport for everyone’s laughing enjoyment, but seriously - enough with the saddle at Texas Roadhouse already! I should be 102 by now, which is well past the prime for saddled sawhorses!
All kidding aside, I’m sure at least ONE of you is celebrating a birthday today! (And a VERY Happy Birthday to YOU!) The rest of us can just save this list for one of the other 364 days of the year when that statement is true! Many thanks to Irma with Stuff for Y’all, and to Barbara, for sending in this list of birthday freebies and discounts.
The list is posted below, as well as on the iMommies Forums page - click HERE to add to the list if you know of others! Thanks much, Irma!
Rainforest Cafe is one of our all-time favorite family places to eat…they have good food, an amazingly fun atmosphere, and shopping in the front. Beyond all that, I love watching the kids’ faces each time the gorillas and elephants start to roar and jump around! They don’t have an abundance of locations, but if you have one in your area, I highly recommend it as a fun, out-of-the-ordinary place to eat for families with young children.
Though the prices at Rainforest Cafe are higher than the average casual dining restaurants, their portions are huge (two people could easily eat from one entrée). We were actually just at the Grapevine, TX location a week ago, and spent $105 for our family of five, including the tips for the server and balloon artist, but we certainly could have done it for MUCH less, even without the coupon.
Here’s a new twist on an old tradition: instead of purchasing GREETING cards for the favorite moms in your life, try DECKS of cards. Photoplayingcard.com sells personalized decks of playing cards for a little more than the price of most Mother’s Day greeting cards! Their usual price is $20.99 + $5.99 shipping for one deck, but with an online coupon code, you can now upload your favorite photo, order a deck of personalized cards, and pay only $5.99 to cover the shipping!
Just a reminder: there are five days left to purchase the 2008 Entertainment Book at the awesome price of $1.49. If that price isn’t low enough, share this deal with two friends, and you’ll earn an extra $30. (Multiply that $30 for each two friends you refer!)
To make the most of all involved promotions, follow the steps below.
