Prenatal Vitamins

Filed Under Freebies, Frugal, Pregnancy, Second Pregnancy | 1 Comment

I am really excited because I just found out that a local grocery store is now offering free prescription pregnancy vitamins. Which is awesome because I will still be taking them for the next year while I’m nursing. I’m not positive about all the details- but wanted to pass it along– if you live in the Missouri/Illinois area you can check with your Schnucks store to get more information. Next time I need a refill I will be definitely going there instead of W@lgreens!

Free Stroller Sign

Filed Under Baby Gear, Freebies, Sick | 6 Comments

You know how when you have your really cute baby out and about in the stroller (okay, so maybe if your baby isn’t cute you don’t have this problem, but I have this problem, lol) everyone wants to TOUCH THEM? Especially when they are small, and especially their hands? It’s so gross. I used to carry Bailey in the sling a lot and I noticed that she got touched less.

Now that she is bigger, we use hand sanitizer a lot. She learned this “Squishy squishy squashy, give your hands a washy” song from Barney. If I give her a squirt of soap or sanitizer she will scrub while I sing that. (Yes, I am quite aware of the evils of hand sanitizer. I’d rather have her sniff a little alcohol here and there, than end up getting pneumonia. Sue me.)

However, someone on a board that I belong to shared this link. If you visit that site* and click on “Get a helping hand” over on the right, you can sign up for a free stroller tag. It looks like a stop sign and says “Please wash your hands before touching me.” Some people think I am a little too bold with stuff like that, but I think it will make people who aren’t thinking (yes, YOU old ladies with the snotty kleenex in your hand) think before they touch a baby. I might use it now, but I will definitely keep it to use for any future children we might have. No, I am NOT pregnant.

*For some reason the direct link to the sign up form doesn’t work, so you’ll have to go through the main page first.

And the baby picture? Just an excuse to post an old picture of Bailey that I love.
