Winner!!

Congrats to our winner, Kristy C. (a Canadian reader!!), on winning a new Boon Squirt Spoon! Enjoy!!

Giveaway!!! Boon Squirt Spoon!

I don't know if you all are familiar with the Boon Company, but they have so many super fun products with such great designs!

They were kind enough to send me the Boon Squirt Food Dispensing Spoon. What a great product for feeding on the go! Here's their description:

Genius. (There. We said it.)
Squirt isn't just a spoon; it's a revelation.

It takes baby food, removes the jar and the mess, packs it into a single utensil and with one squeeze—boom! You get easy, one-handed feeding. Pop on the cap to seal food on-the-go.

Caution: May cause gobbling and an uncontrollable appreciation for anything delicious.

So.....one lucky winner is going to get their very own Squirt Spoon!

Community Swap

Saturday, February 12th at 10 am.

We are hosting a Big Swap! I am sure, especially after the holidays, we all have plenty of items that could use purging and giving away. So in light of that, we have planned a Saturday morning Swap. Hopefully a Saturday morning will allow some of you working moms to join us, as well as allow our hubbies to take kid-duty for the morning. If you need to bring your kids, that's fine, or if your hubby wants to entertain them at our meeting place that would be fine as well.

FYI, there is no fee or charge to participate! Everything will be laid out on tables by category and then everyone can begin "shopping".
Any items are welcome!
Of course baby items, baby gear, kids clothing, shoes, etc....is extra welcome!
But we also welcome maternity clothes, household items, clothes you or your husband are ready to give away, food (unopened and non-expired) and coupons too!
Basically, bring anything you don't want, need or use anymore and hopefully it will fit someone else's need!
Any items left over will be given to charity.

Event will be held @:

Redeemer Community Church

 (a dark green, brick building with free parking lot to the right side of the building)

5515 Penn Ave.

Pittsburgh, Pa

Saturday, February 12th at 10 am.

Spread the word, the more people we have, the more successful it will be!

Please email me if you are planning on participating, so we can have a rough estimate - pgh@live.com.

Just Between Friends Spring Event

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!

Sign up now for the Just Between Friends Spring/Summer Children's & Maternity Sales Event:

RMU Island Sports Center in the Sports Court Rinks

Saturday, April 9 - 8am-5pm

Sunday, April 10 - 9am-2pm

$3 Admission Saturday Only until Noon or register online for FREE pass!

Just Between Friends Sales events are a savvy shopper's dream! These are not retail stores but rather savings extravaganzas--shopping events that happen usually twice a year per location. At these events, consignors bring their new and gently-used children's and maternity merchandise to sell. Shoppers can then browse and purchase these items at great savings, usually far below retail prices. You can also sign up online to be a consignor with your local JBF sale.

Check out their website for all the details!
