Amazon Mom

If you love to shop online, then you might be interested in this. I love Amazon.com. I think it's the best thing since automatic transmission. Seriously! You can buy anything there. Even groceries! Though I usually by books or electronics. Another reason I love it is because of the reviews. I research any item to see the price (Amazon is usually like the Walmart of online shopping: they have the most reasonable prices) and read through customer reviews. I love to see what people think of merchandise and whether or not a book is worth my time reserving from the library.

Most items are eligible for free shipping if you spend more than $25, so if I buy something, I usually have to wait until I have a few things to buy so I get free shipping on everything. It's a pain, but I do what I have to to save $.

I have never signed up for their Amazon Prime membership because you have to pay heinous amounts of money all to get free 2 day shipping. I love Amazon...but not that much.

Well, I just heard about a new promotion on Amazon called Amazon Mom. If you are a parent, grandparent or guardian of a child in any way, you are eligible to sign up and get a 3 month membership to Amazon Prime for free. Seriously! And now is the time to do it with Christmas and Black Friday coming up. This is especially nice if you have family far away and you have to ship presents. Just buy them on Amazon and ship them to your family for free!

If you want to extend your membership, you can simply make a purchase of $25 (at one time) from the Amazon Baby store. Pretty much anything that has to do with children is in the baby store. Even parenting books! You can do this as many times as you'd like to extend your membership an additional 9 months, making it a year for free.

I will probably only be able to extend my membership one extra month, but I am excited to save a few bucks on shipping.

If you are interested, to go www.amazon.com/mom to sign up. They ask you what kind of guardian you are, that part is required. Then they ask you about your child(ren)'s information, like name and birth date. That part is optional.

If you want to buy from the baby store and extend your membership, go to www.amazon.com/baby and browse. Just make sure you have lots of time on your hand and permission from your husband to spend a few extra dollars this month :).
