teething BlingSo my youngest is teething... I see it as a good and bad thing. I'm excited that he's getting teeth and it means he's growing up. But he is a BEAR about getting teeth in. Although I can't blame him I remember how much it hurt when I got my wisdom teeth in. He seems to get a bunch all at once so he's drooling and sticking everything in his mouth. Well, I was so excited when I found Teething Bling. Their website is actually SmartMomJewerly.com, and WOW are these some SMART moms! 

I haven't been wearing much jewelry lately since he almost broke my favorite necklace and my silver bracelets all have teeth marks in them from him now. I put my new Teething Bling on and guess what happened!? Two seconds later B already had my necklace in his mouth. Good thing is that this time it is made specifically for his biting teeth!!

Teething Bling was inspired by babies who tug on our jewelry. Their products are made from high quality, phthalate-free, federally approved silicone. The materials are non-toxic, latex free, food and dishwasher safe. They have several fun pendants and bangles, and are always working on new products. Be sure to follow them on Facebook for frequent giveaways, stock updates, and updates on new products.

Right now it seems like I know TONS of newly pregnant moms, but I'm thinking that Teething Bling is the perfect baby shower gift! It's something for the mom that fun and something that's practical for the baby. My mom was always one for practical gifts, and I've become that way too now. Well, here is a special coupon code for 20% off for all our readers. Just enter S-SMJ at checkout for your 20% off.

Have any of you gotten Teething Bling for your own baby or purchased it for a gift? We'd love to hear about it!

I was given a Teething Bling set for my review. I was allowed to keep the products, but the opinions in my review are all my own.

Chuck E CheesesOk, I found a NEW reading program! Did you know that Chuck E Cheese, or Showbiz Pizza as I still call it (you know you do too), is helping parents reward their kids in several common "parent challenging" areas? Just print off and complete the chart and receive 10 FREE TOKENS! I love how there are charts covering everything from Reading to Teeth Brushing! Although there is a reading chart it seems like you can do this all year round, not just during the summer.

vacationWe know that you all love us so much at Deals for Dayton and wish that you could take us on vacation with you and help you find local deals there too. While we can't do that, unless you REALLY want to bring us with you, we can give you some places that have some great freebies around the US. These deals are not available in the Dayton area, but they might just be where ever you are heading for vacation.

Bank of America Card Holders- get free general admission to several museums, science centers, zoos and more on the first full weekend of each month

National Parks- several national parks offer Fee-Free days throughout the year

Target Arts & Culture- Target sponsors free or reduced-price admission to arts and cultural events nationwide.

Groupon- discounted tickets, coupons and more. Check the city you are planning on visiting for great discounts.

If you are a Boonshoft, other Science Center or even Zoo cardholder, be sure to check out the list of reciprocal museums/zoos that are available. This allows you to get into other museums/ science centers/ zoos for FREE or greatly discounted rates! If your location is included in the list (ie- you hold a pass to the Boonshoft and it's included in the Science Center list) then you can go to any other location on the list also. We have passes to Union Terminal and have gone to 3 other museums around the US already thanks to the Reciprocal Program! In my opinion the Reciprocal Program makes buying a pass for any local museum well worth the money.

Association of Children's Museum

Association of Science- Technology Centers

Association of Zoos and Aquariums

DoveA few weeks ago, I received an email from Jenny (who writes Mommin’ it Up,) inviting little ole me to get a FREE mani, pedi, and chair massage! Dove Ultimate Deodorant sponsored the event and also sent us home with a free deodorant! I was so excited to be a part of the event not only because it was FREE “me” time, but because it involved Dove deodorant.  

I am brand loyal to very few products, but Dove is the one that I am most loyal to! I have really sensitive skin, and it has been the only deodorant that didn’t give me a rash. And let me just say, it is “the pits” to get a rash there! (Yeah, I just said that!) Anyway, I love Dove, wether they send me to a day at the spa or not, and I think they have a great product! 

Dove sent Amy and I to Tudor Salon and Spa to be pampered with fabulous manicures, a nice foot soak and pedicure, and then a glorious chair massage! It was heavenly! We were able to just sit around and chat with fellow bloggers Jenny, Emily, Katie, Kate, Tricia, Andrea, and Elizabeth. It was a wonderfully relaxing day! (And, my pits were fresh the whole time!) 

Dove was not only nice enough to give us moms a little break, but they are spreading the love “coupon-style!” Here is a coupon for $1.50! Thank you, Dove!! And thank you, Jenny, for letting Deals for Dayton come along!!
