If this is your first time here, Welcome to The Shopping Mama! My name is Kate and I am the stay at home mama of two little ones – a 3 year old boy and a 16 month old girl and the proud wife of an Air Force pilot. I started The Shopping Mama in January of 2009 as a way of sharing my favorite finds for the wee ones. (If you’d like to learn more about me, check out About the Mama.)
Want to see a picture of my kids? Of course you do. Here’s a recent fave:
If you’re a regular reader (Thank YOU!) and you’re wondering what this party thing is all about, head over to 5MinutesforMom.com to learn more about the Ultimate Blog Party. In short, it’s a fun way to discover new blogs and “meet” new people.
What’s Happening Around Here
The Shopping Mama and Baby Loving Mama have teamed up to celebrate the warmer weather by bringing you amazing reviews and giveaways for the best products for families this spring. Check out the all the Spring into Spring giveaways and make sure you enter to win the KidCraft Red Roof Outdoor Playhouse and the Guidecraft See Store and Take-a-Long. (These are my favorites so far – but there are awesome things coming up soon, so subscribe to The Shopping Mama and never miss a thing!)
If you’re into children’s fashion, you need to visit The Shopping Mama’s 365 Days of Children’s Clothes! It is my attempt to chronicle what my kids wear every single day this year. Today was day 98 and I haven’t missed a day yet.
Thanks for stopping by!
