Awesome deals: Picaboo products & Gymboree membership

August 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment

There are two great Groupon deals happening today that I wanted to alert you to.

Picaboo Groupon

Picaboo Photo Groupon

I LOVE Picaboo. I have made tons of photo books in my day, and theirs is by far the best software and print quality. Their downloadable software offers tons of customization; you can choose all your backgrounds, text, photo placement, etc. I used to be an avid scrapbooker, but gave up on it once I had my daughter, knowing I had neither the time nor the funds to support it. I switched to making Picaboo photo books and used them for 3 different books that I made to document my daughter’s first year of life. I purchased and used Groupons for all three and probably paid $25 total.

Today’s Picaboo Groupon allows you to purchase $75 worth of photo books, calendars, or collage posters for $25, or $100 worth of products for $35. You can use your Groupon over multiple orders like a gift certificate, and you can put it towards tax and shipping (yes!). The products all make great gifts too, and with Christmas coming up it’s perfect timing.

Gymboree Groupon

Gymboree Membership Groupon

If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a working mom, it’s to take every opportunity I can to run, laugh, and play with my little one; because the days (and the years) go by far too quickly. I recently enrolled in a Mommy and Me class and loved watching my 18-month-old interact with other kids, sing and dance, and do more moving and running than I generally have the time (or the energy) to engage her in.

Today on Groupon you can buy a one-month membership to Gymboree for only $49. This is a $124 value (One-month membership with unlimited open-gym attendance and one class per week – $74, and waived initiation fee – $50).

This is sure to get your little one moving and shaking! Classes are for newborns – 5 years. As Gymboree boasts: “The classes help build an everlasting bond between parent and child that will feel like being tethered to each other with Ethernet cable.”

Sounds good to me.

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

Another to-do checked off my list for spring break Another to-do checked off my list for spring break room makeover!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
