Today I thought I’d share some intersting things I’ve stumbled upon!
Movie News!
Did you know that Karen Marie Moning’s FEVER series was purchased for feature film rights by DreamWorks?!?! It was previously sold to 20th Century Fox under their New Regency branch. I truly hope they decide to get to work on this series. I’d actually much rather see it as a TV series than a film, much like HBO is doing with TrueBlood and the Sookie Stackhouse series. Either way they’ve got their work cut out for them in casting the male lead, Jericho Z Barrons. They better not disappoint me with that role.

Shopping
I’ve recently been shopping for various things recently and I’ve come across some pretty cool sites. The last three are my favorite!
Mamabargins has some nifty bargains all day long. They don’t announce them unless you follow them on Twitter or Facebook.
BabySteals and KidSteals have two steals per day.
Woot has some interesting bargain items too. They’re more gadgety, which I love. And the t-shirts are always something to see.
Totsy is sorta like the children’s version of Gilt or Hautelook. They have multiple deals going on, mostly designer brands.
Heartsy is my new favorite site. They showcase about 4 different Etsy stores a day and offer you store credit for usually half the price! Example: I purchaed $20 store credit for only $9! I bought two sewing patterns to make my daughter a super cute dress and skirt. Now only if my sewing machine would stop mucking up!
BabyLegs has the most adorable socks, tights, and legwarmers ever! I ordered $75 worth of socks for Riley (he’s known at daycare for having fabulous socks!) for only $23! They had an amazing sale going on. Now they have a BabyLegs Deal of the Day, offering 50% off one of their items per day!
OutGrowingIn is a clothing swap site. You pay $3 for a box full of clothes (plus $10.95 shipping). So, $13.95 got me approx. 10 outfits for my little man! There are lots of other sites that do this but I’ve found this site to be one of the best in options, specifically the ability to actually see pictures of the items, if you have a Premium membership, which I have a 6 month trial of.
Hi Jess. I will always respond to your comments over at my blog, but was not sure if you check back to see them, so here is a link to the slippers that you asked about http://www.footsmart.com/product.aspx?shortsku=72324&cm_vc=recs_hp&cm_re=hp-_-bill-_-xsell
Plus they also have them in sandals in a half-dozen different colors:)
Thanks for the link!
I noticed you reply to your comments too. But I asusmed I’d receive an email, which is what my blog does, when someone replies to a comment. 🙁 Guess I’ll have to stop back and see your comments!
Hi again Jess.
Please, can you give me the widget that sends e-mails back to soemone after they have left a comment.?
I’d love to implement that feature.
Thank you:)
Laura
I tried to find out info on this but an unable to find anything. 🙁 Do you receive an email when I reply to your comments? I just assumed that was the case but I may be wrong! I do know that some sites have the option for commentors to “follow” a thread of comments.
