October 2011 Newsletter

by Dawn Harris

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful fall colours and the mostly-gorgeous weather that we have been having lately! What a season this has been. I put away my kids summer clothes, only to have to dig them out last weekend - what a great surprise it was :)

An Important Note About Coupon Codes

After much consideration, we have decided to strictly limit coupon codes in 2012 for a number of reasons, including the implementation of a new coupon code tracking system. As a result, all coupon codes will be expired on December 31st.

If you are holding onto a coupon code that was issued for customer service reasons, please contact me if you are interested in using your coupon code past December 31st, stating the item(s) that you are hoping to purchase with your coupon code, when you plan to make your purchase, and the reason that you are requesting the coupon code be extended. I will consider these requests on a case-by-case basis.

Going forward in 2012, any coupon codes issued will have specified expiry dates and will generally only be offered to newsletter subscribers (so you ... yeah!), and for customer service reasons. We thank you for your understanding.

What's on Clearance

We still have some great items on clearance from last month and a few new items added this month. I hope you will check out these great prices. Please note: There is nothing wrong with the products listed in our clearance category - we have just overstocked some items and discontinued others ... and our customers get to reap the benefits of this!

Still some clearance stock left:

BerryPlush AI2 Cloth Diaper ... including Insert - A fantastic cloth diaper that I strongly recommend for night time use (and they are incredibly cute during the day too). Another one of my own favourites as 3 years of use and NEVER a leak, even over night - talk about superior leak protection!

Baby Spats Leg Warmers - Perfect for our Canadian fall weather!

Brown Leather Belt with Train Buckle - A must-have item for any little train lover. My son loves to sport his own Beltz 4 Kidz belt - he says he "looks just like daddy" in it :)

Organic Cotton Nursing Pads - 6 pairs of organic cotton washable nursing pads at a great price.

Rockin Green Laundry Detergent - Trial Size - A great way to try this great cloth diaper detergent at a discount. Our customers love the detergent so much, that we have decided to only carry the full-sized bags. These trial sizes can be shipped via Regular Mail for $3!

New Items On Clearance This Month:

Belt Guard Seat Belt Alarm - Among every parent's worst nightmares is a car accident, even minor, with their children in the car. What if your child had unknowingly unbuckled his/her seat belt without your knowledge? Well get some peace of mind with this great product - a seat belt alarm that instantly alerts you to the fact that your child has unfastened his/her seat belt! Easy to install, I have already set aside two for my children for when they move out of their car seat and into a booster!

FuzziBunz Cloth Menstrual Pads (aka Comfort Pads / Mama Pads) - If you've thought of trying cloth for yourself, treat yourself to trying FuzziBunz Menstrual Pads. At a significantly reduced price, these are luxuriously soft and they will make you wonder what took you so long!

FuzziBunz Extra MicroTerry Inserts - Great for doubling up in your FuzziBunz diaper overnight. These inserts also work in most other brands of cloth diapers as well - use them as a thin, often less bulky insert during the day in your favourite cloth diaper!

FuzziBunz Fleece Changing Pad - These are fantastically soft change pads! A great size for lying your child on public change tables but thin enough to fold up small to take up minimal space in your diaper bag. They wash extremely well and the soft microfleece top stays soft wash after wash. I have been using my two FuzziBunz change pads exclusively for 3 years now and absolutely refuse to give them up! Definitely one of my favourite FuzziBunz accessories. Get yours while they last at this great price.

Lock Tite Harness Clip - For anyone who needs a replacement harness clip for their car seat, this is your answer!

ub2 ModBonnet Sun Hat - Such a terrific and absolutely gorgeous hat for any little girl during the summer. Offers superior sun protection over the face. Whether you are planning ahead for next summer, or just for your winter vacation, this modern-style bonnet is a must-have and is now more than 30% off the regular price!
