My Review of Graco MetroLite Stroller - Jessa

Originally submitted at Toys R Us

The aluminum-framed MetroLite provides the sturdiness of a standard sized stroller with the comfort and convenience of a lightweight stroller. The one-hand, multiple position reclining seat goes nearly flat for infants. An adjustable handle allows mom and dad to each adjust the stroller to their h...

Ready to go! (to the curb!)

1out of 5

Pros: Stylish

Cons: Few Features, Poor recline, Poor Quality, Small Basket

Best Uses: None

Describe Yourself: Parent of Two or More Children

What sold me on this stroller was the price and the pattern. SO cute and girly for my infant daughter. I wish there were more positives but that's it.

The fabric is cheap and feels well, yucky. The basket is a joke. When baby is reclined, forget getting anything on or out. The recline feature w/the pull strap is AWFUL. The seat back does not sit upright fully which tends to make a very curious baby like mine quite upset. The cupholders are tiny and there are no other compartments for anything else.

So a quick recap:

Pros:
price
pattern

Cons:
Fabric
Basket
Recline feature
Seat
Cupholders

Yummy Yoplait GIVEAWAY!!!!

My Blog Spark recently gave me an opportunity to try Yoplait yogurt in a fun new way! FROZEN!

Now sadly, I did not get any of the yummy yogurt pops as ds and dh scarfed them down but they loved them! We are a boring family so we only tried strawberry and vanilla but there are soooo many flavors of Yoplait that the possibilities are endless! We mixed ours using half strawberry on bottom and half vanilla on top!

My Blog Spark is giving me a chance to let 2 lucky readers win a gift pack of thier own to send Summer out with a bang! Included in the pack is two free coupons for Yoplait Whips!, cooler tote, popsicle molds and a set of 12 color-changing spoons! (DD loves the spoons!)

For your chance to win, simply leave a comment telling me YOUR favorite flavor of Yoplait yogurt!

One entry per person and please remember to leave your email address! Winner will be chosen by my son picking a number off the top of his head! (So much more fun than a random generator!)

Deadline to enter is Saturday October 3rd at 8pm EST

US residents only please

Good Luck!

Sites to save by (vol 1)

One of the things my hubby always brags about to his coworkers is how I always find a way to save money on every single thing we purchase. It isn't just a hobby for me. It truly is a way of life. I will not pay full price for anything. From coupons, to samples, to sales, there is ALWAYS a way to find the best deal.

Under my favorites is a folder for shopping alone. It is there that I have listed websites and blogs that offer great steals and deals. Number one on that list?

Mamabargains.com

Unlike other sites that offer only one deal a day, mamabargains puts up several deals every day depending on when the previous item sells out! They have had baby carriers like Beco and Slingling, spectacular strollers like the Sky Easywalker, cute cart covers from Itzy Ritzy, even diaper bags from Fleurville! All of these items and many many more at amazing prices!

If you are in the market for any and everything baby and child but don't want to spend retail, I encourage you to take a look at MamaBargains! Let me know what kind of deals YOU find!

Still in the process of unpacking

Moving is absolutely no fun. We have been here 2 weeks now and there are still mountains of boxes to unpack. Sigh. When will it end?

Still debating on if I should migrate some posts from my old blog to here. I think they would be quite out of place though as they were about ttc our daughter and her birth and all that. Well. I think I just made up my own mind!

Can't wait to really get this blog up and running!

Not my first rodeo

We are a family of four. The hubby, myself, (ds-11yrs) sonboy, and (dd-8mo) the bug. Other members of our home and family include our dog Rosie, and 3 cats, Jasmine, Harry, and Abbey.

As of July 24th, 2009 we became homeowners. All the renting and moving is behind us. (for now!)

Visit my blog often for hijinx, reviews, and everything else under the sun!
