IsaBooties soft-soled baby shoes on sale!

IsaBooties are eco-friendly booties for little feet. They have a great deal going on this weekend:

All IsaBooties are only $18 starting on Thanksging day through Friday at midnight. Shoppers must use coupon code "thanks10" to get this deal.

IsaBooties are regularly $29, so this is a fabulous deal! Each order comes wrapped for free in eco-friendly paper, making them an easy gift. They have sizes from 3-24 months so they'll fit all the babies and toddlers in your life. They keep little pre-walkers' tootsies warm, particularly outdoors in colder weather, and help protect beginning toddlers from slipping or banging up their feet, while still giving them the flexibility and feedback that being barefoot would provide. Some versions are fleece-lined for extra toastiness. Plus, they're all so cute!

What makes IsaBooties different from other soft-soled children's shoes? All IsaBooties:

  • are 100% animal-free. Ultrasuede® is an innovative, animal-free fabric that offers many advantages, such as machine washability, resistance to scuffing and discoloration, softness and comfort, and breathability. The soles are made of Toughtek®, a soft and flexible, incredible “grip” fabric that is perfect for beginning walkers.
  • are formaldehyde-free.
  • are made in the U.S.
  • use non-toxic dyes.
  • use fabrics that far exceed the U.S. Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety (ASTM F963-07).
  • come in packaging that is recycled/recyclable and printed with soy ink.
  • are 100% machine-washable/machine-dryable offering a clean, healthy choice in baby footwear. They retain their shape even after going through the washer and dryer, so they truly are an easy-care choice in baby footwear!

And did I mention they're cute? They are so super cute! Buy some for you, and some to give as gifts. Everyone will love them!

Remember, the $18 deal starts tomorrow (Thanksgiving day) and goes only through Friday night, so pick out your styles now, and then use the coupon code tomorrow to snag your favorites!

Up to 40% off Expressiva Nursing Wear

I'm not even an Expressiva Nursing Wear affiliate, but I thought I'd pass on this deal I got in my email today since it said to share it with my friends who are pregnant or nursing. That's some of you, I assume! And if it's not you specifically, you can pass it along to your friends who are.

The Expressiva Black Friday savings have started! Save up to 40% on select styles and get free shipping on orders over $49.

I've had the chance to try out an Expressiva top that I won in a giveaway at Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports. I liked the patterns and colors they had available (so I chose what I thought was a kicky one, at left) and that most styles didn't scream out "I'm nursing wear!" with weird seams or overlayers. I'm not used to using dedicated nursing wear, so it was kind of interesting to have a top that pulled up at the Empire waistline so discreetly. The only thing I didn't like so much — since at the time I wasn't pregnant or just postpartum — was that the high waistline I had chosen made for a very flowy look that made me in particular (possibly because of my large bust) look like I was still in maternity wear. I think I'll actually give it another go now that I actually need such a thing! If I were to choose over, I'd make sure I chose a more fitted look. I also thought the fabric was kind of thin, but the top I had was a summer top; I imagine the winter looks are a heavier fabric.

Let me be the first to say you don't need nursing clothes to nurse in public (or wherever). That said, you in particular might be more comfortable knowing you won't flash any skin, or there might be occasions when even a usually fear-free nurser wants a special nursing outfit — such as at a formal event that calls for a form-fitting dress and a shaped bodice.

Expressiva also carries nursing bras (a necessity, in my book!), sleepwear, swimwear, baby slings, breastfeeding accessories, and more.

Amazon deals for Thanksgiving week

Here's another Black Friday post, highlighting some of Amazon.com's Black Friday Deals for parents.

Deals in Toys and Games include:

  • "Lightning Deals" — big deals come up for a few hours at a time throughout the day, so check Radio Flyer Classic Red Dual Deck Tricycleback! You have 15 minutes to purchase an item once it's added to your cart — you can still use Free Super Saver Shipping, but hurry to find extra items if needed to get up to $25.
  • $10 off $30 on select Fisher-Price toys
  • Up to 40% off Radio Flyer ride-on trikes and wagons
  • LeapFrog Leapster games for only $8.99 each
  • Pretend-play toys from Learning Resources and the My Kitchen Set from Alex Toys
  • Toys from Melissa & Doug, LEGO, Fisher-Price, and more that fit your budget — just look for the categories marked "Great Gifts for $25 or Less" or $50 or $75

There are deals on Clothing, including Men's, Women's, Egg Maternity Women's Maternity Hammered Satin Wrap Top,Black,Smalland Kids, as well as special sizes including Maternity and Nursing. There are even special links where you can search for steep deals, such as 75% off Kids' and Baby Clothing.

Other fun things on sale for babywearing, breastfeeding, cloth diapering/EC, and other baby care (though not related to the Thanksgiving deals) are the Baby K'tan, select Britax and Sunshine Kids car seats, BABYBJÖRN Little Potty (perfect for ECing little tushies and potty training tykes), 5-Pak of Kushies AIO Diapers (great starter kit for a relative or friend you know who's interested in cloth diapering — or would be!), and cloth nursing pads from MamaLittleHelper.

Don't forget to peek in Pandigital Pantouch PAN8000DWPCF1 8-Inch Touchscreen LCD Digital Picture Frame with 1 GB Internal Memory (Espresso Brown)Electronics if you're looking for a still camera or video camera to capture your little one, or a digital photo frame to display your images. A digital frame would make a perfect gift for grandparents, too, take it from me!

There are also deals on Video Games, Music (look for kids' CDs or MP3 downloads), DVDs, and, of course, Books for kids of all ages. You can search by age from baby to teen. A favorite book always makes for a cherished gift!

Another item I've been very curious about is the Kindle wireless reading device. I had the chance to check one out in action at a couple stores, and it looks really nice and felt probably Kindle 3G Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G + Wi-Fi, 6" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally - Latest Generationas light as my phone. The display was clear and less shiny than my phone or laptop, like reading print. I used to think I would never take to reading ebooks, but ever since I got a smart phone, it's so easy to pop one on there and read as I find a minute here and there. I also like that I can search and bookmark easily (such as with nonfiction, parenting books). I could see the Kindle being a really fun toy. You can pick up the latest model for $139 with Wi-Fi or $189 with 3G as well. If you want just one of the ebooks for Kindle as a gift (easy delivery!) or for yourself, they can be read at no additional cost on a PC, Mac, or smartphone using one of Amazon's free reading apps.

In case anyone is wondering, here's my take on the recent Amazon hoopla: both why I think the book that was removed is repulsive and Amazon has behaved stupidly, but also why I won't be boycotting them at this time.
