Web Site of the Week #12: Amazon Gold Box

Although I don’t often buy online, when I do, it’s usually from Amazon. I love their comments, (usually) free shipping, and ease of checking out. Although I think most people know about Amazon, I don’t think everyone knows about Amazon Gold Box. Every day, Amazon Gold Box offers deals that are just available for a few hours, or until they sell out. It also offers an all day deal, and another list of sales Amazon is having that day. Amazon Gold Box has deals on everything from workout equipment to electronics to jewelry.

So I've now posted a dozen Web sites of the Week as promised. I won't be posting Web site recommendations weekly in the future, but I'll definitely let you know when I find other amazing Web sites I want to share.

Web Site of the Week #11: Diet Facts

As someone who likes to know how fattening food at my favorite restaurants is, I find dietfacts.com very useful. You can search alphabetically by restaurant, and then alphabetically by item. Some restaurant’s nutrition info isn’t available because they’ve chosen not to release it. However, if a restaurant has ever released their nutrition info, this Web site will have it. I admit that I’m not a fan of the Web site’s layout and navigation, however, other Web sites actually charge people for this information, so I love that this Web site free and up to date.

Web Site of the Week #10: Baby Cheapskate

My deal-seeking friends with babies say that when they are looking for the best deals on diapers and other baby items, babycheapskate.blogspot is the first place they look. This blog provides weekly listings of the best diaper (and other) deals available in stores, info about online toy and baby clothes sales, and links to valuable coupons and other deals. This blog is updated frequently, and provides tips on how to get the most for your dollar when buying for babies. If you have kids but not a boatload of money, you’ll love this blog.

Web Site of the Week #9: Happy News

I discovered happynews.com about a year ago after a Google search. It’s exactly what it sounds like- a Web site devoted to positive, upbeat, and often inspirational news. Why did I look for a Web site like this? I like being informed about what’s going on in our world, so I watch the news and check CNN.com daily. I think it’s important to know about what’s happening around our world because it’s important to be informed. That said, sometimes the news makes me a little sad. When I want to know that there are positive things going on the world, I go to happynews.com. This Web site provides a variety of national and international stories about things such as medical and scientific advances, inspirational people and heroic acts. If you ever question whether there’s any good in the world today, just visit this site and you’ll be reassured that there are many people out there working to make a difference.

Web Site of the Week #8: DownEast Basics

Downeastbasics.com is my very favorite online clothing store. Why do I love it? All of their clothes are cute, modest, and affordable. And it can be find clothes like that when you live outside of Utah. They offer basic layer tees as well as shirts, skirts and dresses that are all updated frequently. I love that their clothes are modern and fun without being revealing or pricey. If you’d like to add a few fun pieces to your wardrobe without taking a bite out of your wallet, you’ll love this site.

Web Site of the Week #7: Slickdeals

Slickdeals.net is the other deal Web site (along with dealnews.com) that I check daily. It’s different from Deal News because only a few deals are posted on the main page daily (as opposed to 100+), and they are typically all jaw dropping deals. If you’re looking for a few killer deals a day, this Web site is the way to go.

Results of the Big Ultrasound!

I had an ultrasound Thursday and our baby's gender is no longer a mystery!

So what do you think?

Scroll down to find out...

We were so excited to find out that so far, everything looks good.

And we were so excited to find out that we're having a boy!

So far we know that he likes dancing on my bladder, has a cute little button nose and loves Girl Scout Thin Mints (or maybe that's just me).

We love this little guy, all 12 ounces of him.
