**RECALL ALERT: 14,000 Britax Infant Car Seats

by A Frugal Friend on January 27, 2012

I will not post any pictures here, because I want you to check out the official pages and make sure your child safety seat is not included…..I don’t want someone to see a picture quickly here and think there’s is okay.

Britax is recalling over 14,ooo Infant Car Seats manufactured from September 1, 2010, through April 30, 2011, and is intended to address a defective rivet that attaches the harness adjuster to the car seat.

Whether your child is in elementary school, preschool, or just wants to hand out Valentine’s to family and friends, it’s time to start thinking about Valentine’s Day cards.

Things have changed a lot since I was a kid. Now you have personalized valentines, and of course, you can even upload your photo now. :-)

Minted.com has a great selection of classroom Valentine’s Day cards. Fifty-three styles to be exact (and that’s just the classroom ones….not including regular valentine’s).

There’s some perfect for the boys……..

There’s some perfect for the girls…….

There’s those that are just plain fun……

Then there’s the ones we ordered……

Yes, we placed our order for “Owl Be Your Friend”, and my daughter couldn’t be more excited to share these with her friends and cousins.

The classroom valentines are smaller, 2.5 by 3.5 inches, yet the perfect size for kiddos exchanging cards.

Be sure to place your order by Feb 7th in order to get them by Valentine’s Day!

FREE $25 Credit:
Right now, new customers who create an account can get a Free $25 Credit which can be used on a $50 purchase. Sorry if you missed the deal yesterday, as it was $25 off a $30 purchase. Still a great deal….can be used on Valentines, Stationery, Journals, Invitations, and more.

Fiction Friday: A Boy Called Dickens (ages 4 and up)

by A Frugal Friend on January 27, 2012

How many of us recently watched one of many versions of the Charles Dickens classic, “A Christmas Carol”? I know we watch it each December in our house. Have you ever thought about who Charles Dickens was? The world he lived in? How he grew up?

That’s exactly what the new children’s book, A Boy Called Dickens, does. Written by Deborah Hopkinson and illustrated by John Hendrix, this new 2012 release, is geared towards children ages 4 and up.  But can I be brutally honest here?  I personally loved this book myself…..

With my first look at the cover I was hooked.  I immediately felt familiar with the characters, some seemingly  familiar to those from “A Christmas Carol”.  The illustrations simply set the stage for old London, and couldn’t be more perfect.

While the book is fictional, much of the book is drawn from bits and pieces that Dickens himself described.  He had what most of us would consider a difficult life, but became one of the most famous writers of all time.  A great lesson can be drawn from the book, one that even young children can identify with.

BUY IT: On sale at Amazon for $12.23 List price is $17.99 for Hardcover
