How-to-Tuesday

I recently joined Amazon Mom, and OHHHHHH boy, am I hooked!  I will never buy diapers from the grocery store again (unless, you know, we run out...because expensive diapers are better than no diapers at all!)

With Amazon Mom, you get a free three month subscription to Amazon Prime, which means free 2-day shipping.  Yay!  Plus, with every $25 you spend, you extend your membership a month.  Double yay!! 

You can use coupons that are found in a lot of the baby magazines like American Baby, Parenting, Parents, etc.  They might be for $10 off diapers or 20% off your total order.  The catch is that each coupon can only be used once, so no coupon code sharing.  Coupons do often stack though, so you could use a $10 off and 20% off coupon at once.  Amazon also has e-clippable coupons (you choose the one you want to "clip" online.  I got an extra $2 diapers last time!)

Then, when you order your diapers, wipes, etc. from Amazon Mom, you want to sign up for the monthly subscription for the item you just ordered.  It's called "Subscribe and Save."  This will ensure you an extra 30% off of your order.  Signing up is free, and you can cancel the subscription at any time....like, right after your diapers are shipped!  Just keep signing up and canceling in order to get your 30% off!  It's a fabulous loop-hole, doncha think?!

My box of 252 diapers started out being $42.99.  I got $10 off with a coupon from a magazine (thanks Amy!), and another $2 off from the e-clippable coupon.  Then I got 30% off for the subscription service (which I promptly cancelled upon delivery!!), making my total $18.xx shipped!!  That's less than 8 cents a diaper, folks!!!

I also ordered some wipes last week for not quite as good a deal, but still cheaper than the store...AND they were delivered to my door, which means a lot these days!

This is a post that explains in even more detail how Amazon Mom works.  You really can get some great deals!

i actually do the "subscribe and save" feature for some food items that jason and i eat on a regular basis. strawberry nutrigrain bars for example. jason eats one every morning. at the store they are about $3.50 a box on amazon they are closer to $2.25 AND i don't have to make a special trip to the grocery store on sunday night to make sure we have them for monday morning. win win.

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it ...

Bath Time Photos!!

As promised, here are lots of photos of Abby's first bath. Caleb was supposed to be in bed, but the bathroom is right next to his room... "I'm not too sure about this..." Once she learned how to splash, she was all smiles! Her first good hair wash! Gotta protect the trach! She really liked getting water poured on her head.  It was cute! Smiley (and bubbly) for Daddy while he dried her off. All clean!!  (Note the Lysol wipes in that last picture.  They are NEVER far away!)

Imagination Movers Photo Recap

Seriously, The Imagination Movers were so much fun!  They played lots of their own music, with some classic rock mixed in for the adults.  There were also quite a few jokes and references to Baltimore, which was kind of fun.   The whole night centered around this robot named Rock-o-Matic, or "Rocko."   This is Mover Scott, and he wears Wobble Goggles that help him see new ideas.  Caleb and Abby have a pair of goggles too.  :) There are 4 main Movers that are part of the TV show, but they have 2 extra movers to play instruments and do back-up vocals in their live tour. Abby finished up her feed before the show started so that she would be free to dance! My dancing queen did NOT want to sit in my lap.  The row in front of us was empty, and that is where she stood almost the entire show--dancing the night away. My Imagination Movers  Caleb did his share of singing and dancing too.  He knows m...
