She Scribes

I’m all for saving a few dollars here and there. Living on a tight budget we have to watch our nickles and dimes. Whenever I can shop for my family and save money I feel great.

We have a lot of nieces and nephews, as well as friends with young children. There is always a birthday party to attend and presents to buy. When it comes to gifts I always try and find items that look expensive, but really aren’t. No one needs to know that I picked up something on sale or clearance. As long as they get a beautiful gift that is all that should matter.

There is a new mom-friendly deal site that features discount boutique quality fashions for both boys and girls, aged newborn to 9 years old. It’s called KidsExclusive.com.

What makes KidsExclusive.com special you might ask? Well for starters they offer one, low shipping fee. Shipping can really be expensive when ordering online. I like knowing that I have one, low shipping fee rather than trying to guess what shipping would be or limit my purchases so as not to have a heavy package to ship (the heavier the package usually the more it costs to ship).

KidsExclusive.com appears to have much better deals than similar sites. They also allow you to return the items for a store credit.

Another thing I like about KidsExclusive.com is that they ship quickly. Other deal sites take forever to ship products, sometimes as long as 3-4 weeks! With KidsExclusive you can expect your items to ship to you with 5 business days (plus delivery time). I recently placed and order and I had my package delivered to me within about a week.

My recent shopping experience at KidsExclusive.com was a huge success. I was able to pick up A LOT of items for $100.00. Eleven items in total. Not bad for $100.

KidsExclusive.com has a great clearance section where you can find items for $10.00 or less. I shopped the clearance section and I was able to find some lovely pieces for our friends little girl and for another little girl we know whose parents don’t have much money. It feels good that I was able to get her beautiful clothing and it didn’t cost a lot and reap havoc on our budget.

Here are a few of the items I picked up. All of them were UNDER $10.00.

I picked up eleven pieces in total for around $100.00 (some were only $7). Each piece is just as lovely in person as it is in the photos. Some of them are very soft and snugly too, perfect for a chilly day.

Each day KidsExclusive.com had new sales. Today’s sale features this beautiful pink princess-like dress from the designer Isabella & Chloe for only $19.90 (regularly $44).

You can even get a peek at upcoming sales so that you can plan accordingly. 

Many designer brands are featured on KidsExclusive.com including One Kid, LA Made, Alphabet, IT Jeans, Me Too American, Lucky Jade and One 90 One.

KidsExclusive.com has wonderful clothing for both girls AND boys.

I love their baby items too!

You can even earn a $20.00 KidsExclusive.com for every person you refer to the site too. For example, if you refer your sister and she places her first order, YOU will receive a $20 credit. If you refer 5 people and each of them places and order you will receive a $100 store credit. With beautiful, quality clothing at great prices it shouldn’t be hard to find people who would love to purchase from KidsExclusive.com.

This is not my usual type of post. Whenever I feel strongly about something I feel the need to share that with others.

There is an adorable little 4 year old boy name Kyle (pictured above) who needs YOUR help. Kyle has been diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia. It’s a life threatening condition where your body does not produce enough red blood cells. Red blood cells are needed to carry oxygen to your organs and every cell in your body. Aplastic Anemia can be fatal if not treated right away.

The best course of treatment for Kyle is a bone marrow transplant. The problem is out of the 9 million registered donors there are no matches for Kyle. What Kyle needs is someone who is of Asian and Caucasian decent. Kyle is half Chinese, half Caucasian.

Here is how YOU can help Kyle. If you are of Asian and Caucasion, please consider helping Kyle. All you have to do is take a bone marrow test. It’s easy and painless. All they need is a cotton swap sample of the inside of your cheek. There is no pain involved in testing to see if you are a match. You must be between 18-60 years old and in good health.

If you know anyone who is of Asian and Caucasian decent please tell them about Kyle and see if they can help.

To learn more please visit KyleNeedsYou.org. You can also find more information on Facebook, www.Facebook.com/KyleNeedsYou and on Twitter, www.Twitter.com/KyleNeedsYou.

Even if you are not a perfect match for Kyle, or even if you are not of Asian and Caucasian decent, please consider being a bone marrow donor. For more information please visit Marrow.org.

Do you have a picky eater in your household? When my kids were little they used to give me a hard time about eating certain things, most especially my daughter. In order to get them to eat what I wanted them to eat I had to make things fun and exciting for them. To do that I would cut things into different shapes, turn meals into funny faces or animals, or give foods silly names to make the kids more interested in them.

There is a new product on the market that is geared towards children in order to make meal time more fun. They are called, appropriately enough, Fun Bites.

Fun Bites are, in a way, like cookie cutters. They are used to cut out shapes from sandwiches, toast, cheese, fruits and just about anything else you can think of.

Currently Fun Bites is available in two different shapes – square (Cube It!)  and heart. (Luv It!).

Fun Bites are plastic “cutters” that resemble ice cube trays, in a way (the Cube It! one certainly does).

Using Fun Bites is easy. Simply put the item you want to cut on a firm, flat surface. Next take your Fun Bit and press it down firmly on the item you want to cut. The rock the Fun Bite back and forth a few times to make sure it’s cut all the way through. Next, place the insert piece into the Fun Bite and press down to gently remove the pieces from inside the Fun Bit cutter (which, by the way, doesn’t have any sharp edges).

Hopefully I explained it OK. If not, here is a visual of the Luv It! Fun Bite and a cheese sandwich.

The cuts that the Fun Bites makes are very small. They are ideal for toddlers and small children, but not very practical for older children, no matter how picky they are.

Fun Bites are great for making bite size appetizers. You can cut out cubes (for example) of various meats, cheeses and bread, then stack them up to make tiny bite size sandwiches.

I did encounter a few times where things got stuck inside the Fun Bit cutter, even after using the insert. They easily peeled out so it wasn’t that big of a deal.

These work great with cheese, bologna, bread, omelets and many other food products. I suppose when your child no longer enjoys food cut up in bite size pieces they can use the Fun Bites to cut out fun Play Doh shapes.

Over all I think it’s a cute idea, especially if you have little ones at home, or if you like to entertain and create fancy finger foods. I personally don’t think I’ll have much need for them since my kids are older and I don’t entertain like I’d like to. I’m going to pass these along to my neighbor who has a toddler. This would be perfect for her.

To learn more about Fun Bites, or to make a purchase, please visit www.FunBites.com. You can also find Fun Bites on Facebook (www.Facebook.com/FunBites), Twitter (www.Twitter.com/FunBites) and on YouTube (www.YouTube.com/FunBitesCutter).
