I stopped by our local Walmart and jotted down the current prices so I can give you an idea of what the deal will be after the coupon. If there is a coupon for a toy you are interested in, I would suggest printing it asap because sometimes these promotions hit print limits and the coupon could become unavailable. Remember, while copying coupons is fraudulent, you can hit the back button in your browser to print a second coupon.

Happy Shopping!

These baby robes are so cute that I had to buy one for my new niece.

I would have loved this Home Otoscope when my kids were younger.

This is one of the best resources for expecting parents. It’s a fourth edition now, which says a lot about its popularity.

Glow Baby is a great mom-based business who has solved the dilemma of many new moms. Did you read the post she wrote for Just Doing My Best? Check it out.

The personalized story books and growth charts at Frecklebox would make a perfect gift! If my children were younger, I would order the story books. They are even better than the cool ones I remember when I was little.

NAMES

One of my  readers recently told me about an application he was working on and I thought this was a perfect week to share it with you. Names, associated with WhitePages.com will give you the demographics and stats of any given name, including last names. Perfect if you need some ideas for the new baby.

These are just a few of the wonderful products that make our lives a little easier or enjoyable. Do you have a favorite gift you that you like to give to expectant parents? If you are a new parent, what is the one thing you wish someone had given you?

Do you know of any others I should add?

Since my children are no longer babies or toddlers, I have not tried any recipes for babies in a very long time. I did want to provide some for Baby Week, so I have created a list of websites who are more well-versed on the subject than I.

Recipe Sites:

• BabyandToddlerRecipes.com – some unique baby and toddler friendly recipes

• WholesomeBabyFood.com – very comprehensive site with everything from recipes to food allergies to introducing your baby to solids.

• Homemade Baby Wipes Recipe

• Baby Teething Crackers

Some books to consider:

• Top 100 Baby Purees: 100 Quick and Easy Meals for a Healthy and Happy Baby

• The Basic Baby Food Cookbook: Complete beginner guide to making baby food at home.

• Toddler Café: Fast, Healthy, and Fun Ways to Feed Even the Pickiest Eater

• The Big Book of Recipes for Babies, Toddlers & Children: 365 Quick, Easy, and Healthy Dishes

I hope you find some recipes that work for your family!

Be sure to stop by my homepage often this week for more Baby Week goodies.
