3/22/2024 Free Baby Massage Webinar!

Abby H.

My kiddos aren’t babies anymore, but I did take a class very similar to this one when they were small, and it really helped with soothing colic and getting over tired babies to sleep.

Learn how to soothe your little one through infant massage when you attend our free parent webinar, Baby Massage: How Your Touch Can Soothe & Calm Your Little One, on March 22, 2024 at 12 pm Central Time.
Join HealthyChildren.org medical editor and host Dr. Jennifer Shu as she welcomes our guest expert, Patti Ideran, a pediatric occupational therapist (who is also known as “The Baby Whisperer”), for a discussion about the amazing benefits of baby massage. Learn practical massage techniques, including the CALM touch strategy, to ease tension, enhance flexibility, and create lasting bonds with your little one.
Everyone who registers for the webinar will automatically be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a free copy of Ms. Ideran’s book, The CALM Baby Method: Solutions for Fussy Days and Sleepless Nights! Ten lucky winners will be announced at the end of the presentation. Don’t miss out—register today!

2024 Birthday Freebies!

Abby H.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been hunting down and checking up on some new birthday freebies for 2024. One of my favorite places to look is MySavings. Their Freebies on Your Birthday list is pretty long. There are a lot of great options for those of you outside of California.

My birthday is coming up in a few days, and here are a few of the freebies that I am most excited about, I’ve noted if I’ve received the emails/app notifications for them this year.

Oh, and in the past, I’ve reminded those in CA, OR, FL, NY, SC, AZ, WA, and NV, to check out eBirthdayClub. There are TONS of great freebies on this site. This year I’ve only gotten “Plan a party here and receive $15 off or 2 free apps if you spend over $250” from a few companies that use eBirthdayClub. Not too exciting.

Non-food Birthday Goodies:

  • Members of the Cost Plus World Market Explorers program get a surprise birthday gift, among other perks; you will also get a 10% off coupon upon enrollment. (received 2024)
  • Torrid– Members of the DivaStyle Club will receive $10 off their next purchase of $10+(received 2024)
  • Dave & Buster’s: $10 in free gameplay for those in the D&B Rewards Club. (received 2024)

Free Food Birthday Goodies:

  • Bj’s Brewhouse– Rewards members receive a free Pizookie for their birthday. Received in 2024
  • Jersey Mike’s: Free Sub for your Birthday! (No matter what you read online, there is no Subway or Submarina birthday Freebies- Those deals are DEAD) Received in 2024
  • Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt: When you sign up for a Smile-age Account, you’ll score a free Fro Yo for your B-day!  (I love Menchie’s!) Received in 2024
  • Nothing Bundt Cakes: Join their email list and receive a FREE Bundlet on your Birthday. (look for the link at the bottom of their website) Received in 2024
  • Sbarro Rewards Club: Free piece of pizza for your birthday when you purchase a drink. You’ll also get a coupon for a free slice when you sign up. Received in 2024
  • Bruegger’s Bagels gives you three free bagels for your birthday. SCORE! Our family eats tons of bagels, so this is a sweet deal. Received in 2024
  • Mary’s Donuts– East County peeps know what I’m talking about! Free drink and TWO Donuts! Received in 2024
  • Habit Burger Grill’s CharClub Score a free Charburger on your birthday.  Received in 2024
  • Panera– Sign up for MyPanera and get a free pastry or sweet on your birthday. Received in 2024

 

Sadly, there aren’t many additions this year, and there are more than a few previous offers/deals that are no longer available.

Remember to read the fine print for these offers. Most of them are for adults, ages 18+ (19 in some states). Some offers require the coupon/offer to be printed out, and some you can just show your phone.

$1 Soup at Panera & 2 Months Unlimited Sip Club FREE!

Abby H.

It’s Soup Time! Panera is hooking you up with a little something extra to warm you up. Enjoy a cup of soup for just $1 with an entree. When you order on the Panera app, for a limited time only! Use Code: SOUP

And while you are at Panera, check out their Unlimited Sip Club. Club members can enjoy coffee, teas & more fountain drinks for free for 2 months!

After your trial, monthly & annual members score benefits like Sip Club Saturday deals, VIP challenges, and more.

Annual members save 17% versus a monthly plan. Plus you’ll receive $0 Delivery Fee all year, and a FREE custom calendar from Shutterfly.

This is a great deal if you live or work near Panera. I live near one, and I’ve been enjoying my beverages almost daily! I drive past it on my way to and from work, and it’s a quick stop to get a coffee in the AM and an iced tea in the afternoon. Definitely quicker and cheaper than stopping at the local coffee shop!
