Fisher Price Toys: New and the tried and true

Thomas & Friends™ Tough Trike

Fisher Price Toys have been around for ages, since 1931 (that's over 80 years!).  I remember the Fisher Price Record Player, I wonder what happened to that one?!

They really have some cool toys to encourage development in many areas for your little one.  Like the Brilliant Basics™ Musical Activity Walker (in Canada, I am sure that it takes the place of the exersaucer type walkers that are outlawed in our country).  They also have the Thomas & Friends™ Tough Trike for the boys and if you would like to win one, head on down to My Organized Chaos!  Tell them that The Mellow Mama sent you!

Garage Sales

One man's garbage is another man's treasure. 

Wow, there were a lot of garage sales and flea markets in town on Saturday!  The sun was out, and so were the shoppers.  I went to two BIG ones, and they were great.  The first was the annual Baby Flea Market, got some great deals on a stroller, shoes, an easel and my big weakness a mini diaper clutch (like a diaper bag but smaller).

The second was the Kettle Valley Neighbourhood Garage Sale...everyone in the neighbourhood had garage sales going.  And the people were out for a deal!  I managed to get some beautiful bar stools for our new house (the old ones are a little short and we look awkward sitting on them). 

There is a lot to be said for shopping at flea markets and garage sales.  I think shows like American Picker brings a sort of mystique about this type of shopping, but most of us aren't looking for a treasure just looking for items that we need or could use that cost us a fraction of the original price. 

Now I just need a garage sale to get rid of all my old stuff!

We have a winner!!

Okanagan 4 Kids, thanks!

Thanks to Okanagan 4 Kids for drawing my name to win the Date Night!

With no family in town, I didn't realize how much harder it is to get childcare.  Luckily, I have had a few friends offer...I'm just a little shy to ask them. Can you imagine...tickets to Wednesday's Hockey Game, Dinner for 2, and a babysitter (from Nannysitters)? 

Unfortunately, my husband has to work out of town this week.  I hope the new winner has a great time!

Winning an online contest can happen!

I've entered tonnes of online contests, and my husband loves to tease me about it.  But I figure, you can't win unless you enter.  I started off entering contests through large companies, but have slowly gravitated towards entering blog contests as well.  Not only do I get a chance to win, but learn some great information too!  Recently I entered the Ju-Ju-Be contest that they held on their blog...and I won my choice of accessory!!  Yay!!  I decided on the BeSet, what do you think of the Shadow Waltz pattern?
