			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0pt;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4108" title="coffee for less" src="http://theshoppingmama.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/coffee-for-less.gif" alt="coffee for less" width="147" height="120" />My morning routine has totally changed since I received a <a href="http://www.coffeeforless.com/category.asp?id=84" target="_blank">Keurig</a> brewer last summer. After putting my contacts, the first thing I do every morning is head straight to the coffee machine, pick out a flavor K-Cup and pop it in the machine. My husband&#8217;s morning routine is pretty similar. Drinking our way through 14 K-Cups a week can get a little pricey so I&#8217;m always on the look out for good deals on <a href="http://www.coffeeforless.com/category.asp?id=84" target="_blank">K-Cups</a>. I was recently introduced to CoffeeforLess.com and I&#8217;m pretty impressed with the price and selection.</p>
<p style="margin: 0pt;">
<h4 style="margin: 0pt;"><span style="color: #732e4a;">About Coffee for Less</span></h4>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">CoffeeForLess.com is a coffee retailer that specializes in Keurig K-Cups, Whole Coffee Beans and Gourmet Coffees. You can expect everyday low prices from us on K-Cup Coffee and coffee pod refills, including Green Mountain, Tully&#8217;s, Timothy&#8217;s, Caribou and Starbucks brand coffees. &#8230; Coffee For Less prides itself on being amongst the best online coffee stores by offering a 100% satisfaction guarantee on a variety of coffee and beverage systems that will undoubtedly meet the beverage needs of your home or office. Don&#8217;t forget to try our K-Cup Selector tool to help match you with the perfect cup of coffee.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4 style="margin: 0pt;"><span style="color: #732e4a;">Keurig K-Cups &amp; More</span></h4>
<p style="margin: 0pt;">
<p style="margin: 0pt;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4107" title="coffee for less gloria jeans chai tea" src="http://theshoppingmama.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/coffee-for-less-gloria-jeans-chai-tea.jpg" alt="coffee for less gloria jeans chai tea" width="200" height="201" />CoffeeForLess.com has an awesome selection of K-Cups. You can browse by brand, and if you&#8217;re not sure what you&#8217;re looking for you can use the K-Cup Selector tool and search by roast and flavor (among other things). I have my favorite <a href="http://www.coffeeforless.com/" target="_blank">coffee</a> flavors but wanted to try something different so I received the <a href="http://www.coffeeforless.com/product.asp?id=2074&amp;amp;CatID=570" target="_blank">Gloria Jeans Chai Tea K-Cups</a> from CoffeeForLess.com ($11.75 for 24 count box). I think perhaps the best part about it is how freaking delicious it smells! I have a cup every once in a while in the afternoon when I get some quiet time to myself. (Or when I want to pretend I am by myself.)</p>
<p style="margin: 0pt;">
<p style="margin: 0pt;">I&#8217;m happy to report my ol&#8217; stand by favorite flavors are also available at CoffeeForLess.com. Most mornings I have Green Mountain Coffee Caramel Vanilla Creme coffee ($11.75 for 24 count box). I also love Timothy&#8217;s Kahlua ($12.50 for 24 count box) and Gloria Jean&#8217;s Mudslide ($11.95 for 24 count box). My husband says I like coffee tastes like flavor and not coffee.</p>
<p style="margin: 0pt;">
<p style="margin: 0pt;">In addition to K-Cups, Keurig brewers and pods for other machines, Coffee for Less also sells <a href="http://www.coffeeforless.com" target="_blank">coffee beans</a> and <a href="http://www.coffeeforless.com/category.asp?id=113" target="_blank">ground coffee</a> for traditional brewers.</p>
<p style="margin: 0pt;">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As much as I love the internet for the ability to connect with people and friends and <em>moms</em>, sometimes I find it terribly depressing. I read stories of loss and it&#8217;s almost too much. The latest example? <a href="http://www.twitter.com/laylagrace" target="_blank">Layla Grace</a> passed away on Tuesday, just days after the <a href="http://theshoppingmama.com/2010/03/auction-to-benefit-layla-grace/" target="_blank">awesome auction</a> to raise money to help pay for her treatment.</p>
<p>Sadly, I have another story to share with you. My friend Rhea (from <a href="http://www.mommy23monkeys.com" target="_blank">Mommy 23 Monkeys</a>) has a young family member who only weeks ago was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma &#8211; the same form of cancer as Layla Grace. Today, Rhea&#8217;s family is doing everything they can to spread the word about Penny, a little girl with a big fight on her hands.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pennies4penny.org" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4085" title="pennies 4 penny" src="http://theshoppingmama.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/pennies-4-penny.png" alt="pennies 4 penny" width="125" height="125" /></a><strong>You Can Help</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Visit <a href="http://www.pennies4penny.org" target="_blank">Pennies for Penny</a> for more information</li>
<li>Share Penny&#8217;s story on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/pennies4penny" target="_blank">Twitter</a> using the hashtag #pennies4penny</li>
<li>Mark your calendars for an online auction next Friday, March 19th</li>
</ul>
<p>Thanks, everyone. If nothing else, let this be a reminder to hug your little ones extra tight today.</p>

The comfy sleep sack arrived a couple of weeks ago in the middle of a cold spell and it was just what my little one needed to help secure a good night&#8217;s sleep. And, she has slept in it every single night since it was delivered.</p>
<h4><span style="color: #732e4a;">About the Cozy Sleeping Bags</span></h4>
<blockquote><p>aden + anais cozy sleeping bags are four layers of muslin, making babies comfortably warm during cold, wintry nights.  aden + anais sleeping bags are designed to be worn over a baby’s pajamas, ensuring a safe night’s sleep by eliminating loose crib blankets, which can be dangerous. Muslin’s light, open weave allows a baby’s body temperature to regulate itself naturally helping to prevent overheating. aden + anais sleeping bags offer the ultimate in breathability and softness, as the more the more you wash them, the softer they get.</p></blockquote>
<h4><span style="color: #732e4a;">Our Experience</span></h4>
<p><a href="http://www.adenandanais.com/" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3356" title="aden + anais cozy sleepsacks" src="http://theshoppingmama.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/aden-+-anais-cozy-sleepsacks-300x155.jpg" alt="aden + anais cozy sleepsacks" width="300" height="155" /></a>First things first, the Cozy Sleeping Bag is so stinking soft, but not in the traditional baby fluffy soft way. The muslin material is just so breathable and light that it feels extremely soft to the touch. After getting my hands on this Sleeping Bag I can see why aden + anais added the <a href="http://www.adenandanais.com/shop/Issie.aspx" target="_blank">Issie</a> security blanket to the collection. The styles are modern and simple. Toddler Girl&#8217;s been snoozing in the <a href="http://www.adenandanais.com/shop/itemdisplay.aspx?ID=131&amp;SKU=1006A" target="_blank">baby cakes design</a> with pink and grey fairies.</p>
<p>So in addition to being soft and comfortable, the Sleeping Bag is smart. It zips from the top down so that when you need to change a diaper you don&#8217;t have to take the whole thing off &#8211; you just unzip a bit from the bottom. The top of the zipper is covered, too, so nothing but soft muslin touches baby. An added benefit is that I think my daughter knows when the Sleeping Bag goes on, it&#8217;s time for bed. It&#8217;s just part of the routine and another signal to her that it&#8217;s time to sleep.<br />

<h4><span style="color: #732e4a;">To Buy or Not to Buy</span></h4>
<p><strong>To Buy&#8230; </strong>I love that even when it&#8217;s chilly at night, my little one&#8217;s feet are warm and she&#8217;s nice and cozy when I go to her in the morning. Of course, for babies the use of the sleeping bag is important because it replaces the need for a loose blanket which is a risk factor in SIDS. The Sleeping Sack is comfortable, well made and a must have for babies.</p>
<p><strong>Or Not to Buy&#8230; </strong>The season for the Cozy Sleeping Bag is nearing its end in Florida and other parts of the country. (But, first, I&#8217;ll put her in short sleeved pj&#8217;s so she can wear it longer!)</p>
<p><span style="color: #732e4a;"><strong>Shop! </strong>The aden + anais <a href="http://www.adenandanais.com/shop/cozysleepingbags.aspx" target="_blank">Cozy Sleeping Bag</a> is $39.95.
