Free Sling!

Dear J (and friends),

We have a brand new mommy gear product line that we have been working on for over a year now and are finally launching today! To celebrate, we wanted to give you a promo code for a free baby pouch sling (a $39.00 value!) from our new website www.sevenslings.com ! We have been pondering about how to “kick-off” the site and decided why not first give a special offer to our preferred UdderCovers.com customers that have purchased more than once from us as a sincere thank you for making this new product line possible!

This promotion will allow you only one purchase so please take your time to get the right size and pattern for you! Once you have used the promo code, it will delete from our promo code database and can no longer be used –so don’t tell anyone about it, otherwise your friend may use it before you do! The promo code is your full email address that we sent this offer to. This offer will expire on the 31^st of this month so don’t delay!

Go to www.sevenslings.com , click on “Shop Now”, and select the correct size sling or gift set you would like (be sure to visit our sizing page for instructions on how to select the right size sling for you). Once you have selected the sling or gift set you would like, enter your full email address into the promo code box and click “Apply Code”. This will bring your product total from $39.00 to $0 for one of our pouch slings or from $44.00 to only $5 for our gift sets - all you are required to pay is the shipping & processing!

These fitted slings are safe for infants to toddlers 35 lbs and under.

Again, the Seven™ Slings website is our newest addition and we would greatly appreciate any helpful feedback about your experience on the website and how we can improve it!

Sincerely,
Jenny Pierce
Owner
UdderCovers.Com

*You may have heard about the Infantino™ “bag sling” recall. The recalled Infantino™ slings are not the same type of baby sling found at sevenslings.com. The recalled slings were “bag slings” and were similar to an elastic closure purse where the baby sits closer to your thighs than your chest. Our slings are fitted, non-adjustable “pouch slings” and hold your baby right up close to you on your chest where you can see and kiss your child. There has not been a recall associated with “pouch style slings”.

Avocado Smoothie

I came across this recipe in the September issue of Disney's Family Fun magazine today. It sounds like a great boost for a cranky tot on long or hectic day because "it's a good source of vitamins, fiber, potassium, and good-for-you fats."

In a blender, combine a peeled and pitted avocado with 1 cup each milk and ice cubes, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Blend until smooth. Makes 3 servings.

Daily deals on kids items

We've had several Groupon and Living Social one day deals posted here recently, so I thought you mommas might be interested in similar sites with a focus on kids items. I recently found Zulily (run by some of the same folks who made the Blue Nile site successful) and Totsy. Both are "members only private sale" sites that advertise special deals anywhere from 30% - 70% off. I haven't been on them all that much, but what I have seen is impressive. You can't really see any of the deals without signing up but right now, for example, Totsy has a selection of shoes by 'Little Soles' on sale for $12.99, down from the retail price of $38. On Zulily, SIGG BPA-free aluminum bottles are running for just around half-off.

If you love daily deals sites, you may also want to cruise over to the Kids Woot site to see what they've posted for the day.

A Smart Idea in the Texas Heat

My car book says to roll down the windows to let out all the hot air before turning on A/C.
WHY ???????????
Car Air-conditioning -
No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before.  We wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents.  
Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a week. 
As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill.  Please pass this on to as many people as possible.  Guess its not too late to make some changes.
Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!
Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.

Open the windows after you enter your car and then turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.
Here's why:   According to research, the car dashboard, seats, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).
In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. Can also cause miscarriage.
Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50mg per sq.ft.  A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.
If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg,  40 times the acceptable level.
People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.
Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.
So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for interior to air out -dispel the deadly stuff - before you enter.
Thought: 'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'
This is what  snopes.com  says.  It is not the air conditioning in the car but the Benzene producing agents that cause cancer.
