You know, putting a mirror in the bottom of a pan isn’t a half-bad idea.  Particularly brownie pans.  I know that would help this 8-month pregnant lady out.  Luckily, babies don’t subject themselves to the kind of scrutiny we Mamas do, so mirrors in pans= delightful fun!  This cute little 3 pan set has a few fun activites for the toddler set and I’d imagine would grow up pretty well into a play kitchen later.  It’s usually $10, but just $5 now at Amazon!  This would be a great one to pick up a couple of to keep for Toys for Tots- Christmas will be here before you know it!

P.S.- A little birdy told me that Amazon’s amazing diaper deal is ending on 9/30, so while you’re checking these out, be sure to stock up your diaper supplies now!

What could be more relaxing than watching happy jungle animals move majestically to soothing music from the comfort of your own bed?  Hard to say, but it would certainly put me to sleep!  There’s plenty of different versions of crib soothers out there, but I find the colors in this one particularly appealing.  And certainly the price is pretty appealing as well!  Originally $40, it’s on sale now at Amazon for 47% off, just $20.98!

I love that this toy is called a “learning mower”.  Like, just in case your real lawnmower were to ever get three colorful plastic balls stuck in it, you’d know exactly what to do.  At least you’ll know how to get a great deal on it- it’s 57% off at Amazon right now and eligible for free shipping on orders over $25-  just $10!

Happy Monday everyone!  And a very happy Monday if you happen to be in the market for a changing table or dresser.  If you’ve spent any time browsing furniture aisles, you know that trying to find one made of actual wood at a price that doesn’t make you want to change your family plans (“well, if we have four kids, that’s really only $200 per kid…”) is pretty difficult.  Notwithstanding the fact that you probably won’t care to spend very much time worrying about your fine furniture while changing a parade of dirty diapers on it.  Yikes.  Never one to sacrifice quality, I think I’ve found a pretty good bargain for you.  Okay, I know I have, because getting any kind of dresser shipped to your door assembled for $207 is a deal, let alone one that’s made of actual wood and is sold for $600+ on plenty of other websites.  Act quickly on this amazing deal at Amazon- the Status Series 600 (Birkdale) dresser in the espresso finish is just $206.68, with free shipping, 64% off the original $575!

It must be diaper bag sale season, because there’s just a bunch of great deals out there right now.  I really like this Go Gaga bag, particularly because I’ve never seen one before and it looks super cool.  It’s got an ergonomically shaped strap, insulated pockets, stroller straps, and is made of stain-resistant nylon.  And a cool strap slide that holds your cell phone or ipod.  And you can easily use it as yoga bag when you’re done carting diapers around.  It’s regularly $128, and other colors are still selling for near that much- but the purple version is 51% off- just $62.88 with free shipping at Amazon!  They also have a different style in a Copper color that’s pretty cool and about the same price, $62.45 from an original $118.  It’ll be a futuristic new you!

It’s Free Fun Friday again!  We’d received so many great comments to our nighttime Facebook question, I thought I’d open up today to all of our creative & clever readers!  What’s your favorite free fun activity?  Do you take pictures together?  Make playdoh?  Build sand castles?  I can’t wait to be inspired by you!

If you like eponymous sippy cups, it may just be your lucky day! Kohl’s is having another big clearance sale online, including these cute Name Star sippy cups in a variety of names and colors.  They’re usually $8, but now just $2.40- and you can use coupon code THX2FANS for another 20% off, making them just $1.92 with .99 shipping!  That code should work on your whole order of anything on the site if you’re looking for something else too.  Be sure to check out the Peanut Shell slings for 60% off!

I know we just talked about another desk and chair that would be perfect for the studious preschooler… but say you’re not quite sure if your rambunctious tot would actually sit still enough to use it?  It’s always a gamble bringing something new into the house, but with this cute pencil desk it’s an easier bet to make!  I actually did a double-take with the price…it’s just $17.40 for the table AND chair!  Even originally it’s just $35, but at 50% off now, it’s practically garage sale pricing!  I’d have low expectations for that price, but the reviews are actually pretty good!  Pick one up for yourself (or donate to a good cause!) from Amazon!

PS- Today’s the LAST day to enter our Facebook fan contest to win one of TWO constellation night lights!  Be sure to comment on that Facebook post by midnight (PST) tonight!

As if the BabyBjorn weren’t popular enough already, The Hangover comes along to skyrocket it to iconic status.  This version is the upgraded Bjorn “Air”, with a soft mesh material to keep baby (and parent!) at a more comfortable temperature.  (These babes are like little portable heaters sometimes!)  The gray version is originally $120 (probably more frequently around $99,) but now at Amazon for just $69 with free shipping!

P.S. Make sure you enter our Facebook fan contest before the end of the day tomorrow!

Long-time TotBargainers may remember seeing Radio Flyer’s Tiny Trike here before, but now it’s even cheaper!  AND we’ve also found a bargain on the Classic Tricycle if your tot’s a bit older.   Both quality Radio Flyer construction, both (unfortunately) usually pretty expensive because of it.  But here’s the deal: you can fly away with the Tiny Trike for 52% off right now, just $49!  And the bargain on the Classic Trike is equally great- 47% off, just $47!  And both ship for free from Amazon!  I must have those streamers…

P.S. Just a few more days to enter our Facebook fan contest!!

There’s two things I know about diaper cakes. One, they’re expensive. And two, the shower crowd loves them.  It’s always one of those things I think I can just make myself and save some money on, but there’s a little something I know about that too.  Whatever money you save will be lost to time-consuming frustration.  Don’t ask how I know this.  Your best bet?  Buy a really nice diaper cake on sale.  It’s not easy to do, because diapers and showers don’t really have seasons.  But thanks to Target and their daily deals, today you can scoop up a perfect cake o’ diapers for 35% off with free shipping- just $44.44 from the original $68!  Only today, though, so act fast!

P.S. Don’t forget to enter our Facebook fan giveaway!

The Cloud b Night Lights are a TotBargains favorite!  We’ve featured the turtle version here before for about the same price, but now you can pick up the popular ladybug for just $20.59, 36% off the original $32!  Their cute hard shell projects a full constellation of tiny stars on the ceiling, mezmerizing babies and parents alike.  I keep thinking about stealing BabyBargain’s for my own room, but his sound sleeping convinces me it’s worth far more in his.  900 Amazon reviewers can’t be wrong- this bug’s a winner!

And now you can be too!  Today we reached our 200-Facebook fan goal and we’re celebrating by giving away TWO ladybug night lights!  Two lucky readers will soon be sleeping under the stars!  All you need to do to enter is leave a comment on today’s Facebook post by 8/25.  We’ll announce the lucky winners on 8/26!  Good luck!!

(PS- If our winner is already enjoying her own ladybug night light, we’ll happily substitute a $20 Amazon gift card. Your choice!)
