Good sales on Leap Pads $88, Leap Pad apps, Leap Pad accessories + free shipping

June 19, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

leap pad, $99 leap pad

I’ve been poking around online, as I haven’t updated our Leap Pad or purchased any Leap Pad apps since my 3-year-old’s birthday in March. Summer is a time for road trips, and I just love our Leap Pad for the car. I haven’t had much luck finding any free Leap Pad apps, but I have found some decent deals.

Amazon has the $20 Leap Pad app gift card for just $18. Prices change often, though, who knows how much it will be tomorrow. The lowest I’ve ever seen it sell for is $16.xx. They also have the carrying case for $15.64 and the AC adapter is cheap too.

On the Leap site, Savings.com has an offer posted where select items are $10-$20 off and you get free shipping with an order over $60. They had a nice 3-game set for $60, I may get that since that means each cartridge is only $20.

On Amazon, the green Leap Pad is only $88 with free shipping.

On both sites, I saw lots of new fun games, like ones to go with the new Brave movie from Disney. Haven’t even seen the movie yet and the games are out!

Good luck & happy shopping.

Help Mary’s Books reach 10,000 books~they are sooooo close!

April 30, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

Click for more information.

Edited 4/30/12: My sister-in-law is reporting that they are within a few hundred books of reaching 10,000 books, please help!

Some of you know my family’s story, but for those of you that don’t, here is a quick synopsis.

My brother and sister-in-law spent years trying to have a baby, and finally succeeded via IVF in 2008. After several tragedies (lost a baby in utero) and other extreme illnesses that were pregnancy related, they had twins in April of 2008. In October of 2008, they both got sick. One baby girl got better, and one didn’t. As it turns out, she had contracted a very rare strain of bacterial meningitis for which there is no vaccine. After spending 18 days in the PICU at the Children’s Hospital of Denver, her little 7-month-old body just couldn’t take any more and she passed away.

As a result of that tragedy and part of the healing process, my sister-in-law does a project every year called Mary’s Books. It initially was to replenish the stock of books at the PICU where they stayed, but the response has been so overwhelmingly positive that she now also donates books to the Ronald McDonald House and other charities. Here is their story:

The 2012 book drive for Mary’s Books is now underway, and I’d appreciate any support you can give. Here is the Mary’s Books Wish List, which Jen continuously updates based on what age groups are not receiving enough books. Books do not have to be purchased through Amazon, that is just presented as an option to make it easier. If you purchase through that link, another 5-7% of the Amazon proceeds will be put towards purchasing even more books for Mary’s Books. If you live in the Denver area and wish to just drop off some books, you can visit the Mary’s Books page and check for your nearest drop off location. Additionally, you can contact them through that site if you have any questions or wish to make some other type of donation.

Affordable Vacationing

April 30, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

Growing up there were 7 of us kids.  As you can imagine we didn’t all fit in one hotel room. What a fun vacation – one parent in one room and the other in the other. Sure they WOULD HAVE loved that.

I say ‘would have’ because we really couldn’t afford to stay in a hotel anyway. Instead, our family went camping. One summer we probably went camping at least 5 times. We became experts at pulling down a camping site in no time.

One thing I never became an expert at was enjoying the dark. I remember waking up and walking to the bathroom or trying to find something (like my glasses) in the dark. No fun! I wish we had had a light.

Today you can get a Rayovac SE3DLN Sportsman Xtreme 300-Lumen LED Lantern for only $17.99. Get ready for a new adventure this summer – camping or get one for those summer evening BBQs or poolside parties.
