It's tough to raise babies and children. Really. Having given birth to three beautiful kids in the course of the past five years, I have come to realize that parenting is no joke, that it's effectively a full-time job. It feels like so, although of course I am not getting paid any salary for doing it. On the contrary, my personal and household expenses have skyrocketed. Without discount coupons, I wouldn't know how I'd be able to survive - financially, that is - as a mother.
If I am not breastfeeding, I am looking up the deals being offered at the Baby Center Store, an online destination and resource for parents of children ages two to eight. That is actually where I had bought strollers for when my babies turned to toddlers. That is also where I shopped for clothes, toys, nurseries, and other essentials. I remember being surprised at how many brands for babies and children they carried: Britax, Carter's, Da Vinci by Million Dollar Baby, Fisher-Price, and Medela, among others. Of course, before I ever made a purchase of anything, I joined the website's parent community, where I found mothers who used to be in the same situation as I am, and who then offered a kind of web-based support system. On chat rooms and forums, I have asked them questions such as: what do I do when they refuse to drink my milk? How can I convince my husband that it's necessary for him to learn how to change a diaper? It's fantastic, really; now we young parents all share tips, advice, and discount coupons.
I have also found another useful parenting resource in Leaps and Bounds. This is a company that encourages a child's development and offers plenty of affordable toys, educational tools, and activities. Of course, while I want my kids to have fun, I also want them to think, create, learn, and grow at a proper pace; products such as the Gardena Gardening Trolley, the Personalized Art Smock, Giant Building Blocks, and Gears Building Set - all of which I bought at the aforementioned website at a great price - enable my kids to learn many skills even while at play. (The only problem is that these toys can make a big mess of our living room. Maybe I ought to hire a new housekeeper!)
Anyway, as the years go by, I know that my children will grow bigger, have evolving needs, become more complex. This is something for which I am trying to prepare. How, you ask. Well, thanks to the Internet, I have been able to surf for terrific magazine titles that offer specialized content for parents. Without having to leave my computer desk, I have purchased year-long subscriptions to parenting and family magazines such as Family Fun, Parent and Child, Good Housekeeping, Mother Verse, and American Baby. This didn't necessarily cost me much, since I used - you guessed it - discount coupons searched on the Internet. It's a thrill to realize that I can save big even as my children's needs sometimes become overwhelming. Well, not as big a thrill as my full-time motherhood job.
