About the Book
One of the few times that you will find companies eager to hand you free things is when
you're
having a baby!! Many new and expecting parents do not know how easy it is to get
a free sample or discount on their favorite items. Did you know that many
well-known companies give FREE samples, coupons, and other terrific promotional
items for many child care items? It's true! These products are free for the asking. All you
have to do is call their toll-free numbers, apply online at their Websites, or
write to them simply asking them to send you these valuable items.
Yes,
You Can Get Something For Nothing!
First
of all, if you are a new or expecting mom, congratulations and best wishes! This
is a very special time for you, a time you will always cherish.
When I first found out that I was pregnant with my now 2 1/2 year-old twins, Shane and Katie, I
felt really excited and blessed to be having two babies, and could hardly wait
for their arrival. Also being the mother of a 3 year old at the time, I also
realized that there could be a significant financial strain when a new child
enters the family.
Being the
expectant mother of twins, I was desperate to get some financial help for my
family, especially after being taken aback by a recent article I read in a
parenting magazine. This article plainly stated the staggering costs involved in
raising a child. I was astonished to learn that the average parent will probably
spend over $1,500 on premium disposable diapers by the time their child is
potty-taught. As a mother expecting twins, I did some quick calculations in my
head, multiplying those figures by two, took a deep breath, and realized that,
yes, we really did need some extra help.
After carefully
going over the family budget with my husband, and deciding on some general
cut-backs, i.e., pay-TV, the TV guide, magazine subscriptions to those
glossy-womens-magazines-that-I-just-loved-to-read,
book clubs, and just about everything else that we could think of, we still came up short.
I subsequently
sat down and tried to think of ways to get a little extra help for my family. I
spent several hours surfing the Internet, reading through parenting magazines
and parenting guides, visiting local department stores, as well as making
several calls to different companies that offered baby products to find out what
kind of help was out there for new and expecting moms.
Many hours and
several phone calls later, I was truly surprised to find so many free products
and samples that were available to new and expecting moms, simply by making a
toll-free phone call, writing a simple letter to these companies, or by simply
applying online at their Website, and with no obligation to buy anything! These
companies were eager to respond to my requests for free samples and promotional
products, and in a couple of weeks my mailbox was flooded with valuable free
stuff!! I could hardly wait to see what my mailman brought me in the mail each
day! I received free gift packs, parenting starter kits, coupons, parenting
books and magazines, and tons of samples in the mail. I got samples of almost
every brand of diaper and formula on the market, as well as received many free
gift items for my babies, including baby bibs, bottles, rattles, and much, much
more! (One year later I was still receiving free promotional items in the mail!)
Thanks to these
truly generous companies, I have had the luxury of sampling brand name products
for my babies freely, without having to spend my hard-earned money testing out
product after product, trying to find the best ones for my babies. I feel much
more prepared and can make informed choices on the types of products that my
babies will use--and I have truly loved spoiling my babies with all of these
great products!
This book will
introduce you to tons of companies that offer free samples and other great
offers for you and your baby. Not only will these free offers save you tons of
money, but will also give you the opportunity to compare different brands of
baby products and choose only the best ones for your baby.
The extensive
list of free parenting books, magazines and literature are available to educate
you on every topic of parenting. The support groups are there for you when you
have a parenting question or concern, or even if you just need someone to talk
to, simply by calling a toll-free number. In the
Ways
to Stretch Your Dollar
chapter you will learn of practical and simple ways to
save even more money. Check out My
Top-Ten List of Totally Useless Baby Items
for some infant un-necessaries, things you can definitely do
without. The Free
Government Resources For New or Expecting Parents chapter of this book is an extremely valuable section,
one that all parents should be made aware of. It will direct you to many
government programs which offer free financial assistance to low-and-middle
income families, programs that provide free nutritious foods to needy families,
a listing of available tax credits for new and expecting parents, information on
how you can receive free health insurance and medical assistance, free
government publications, and various other government assistance programs. It
also outlines maternity and parental benefits, and what your rights and
entitlements are as a new or expecting parent. While you're
spoiling your new baby with all of his fabulous freebies, don't
forget to baby
yourself at the Free Stuff For Moms
chapter where you can enjoy some luxurious freebies, just for you, such as free
perfume samples, cosmetic and hair samples, and more--because you deserve a
break, too!
I hope that
you, too, can enjoy these wonderful benefits. Join as many mailing lists as you
can and take advantage of what these companies have to offer.
The freebies in
this book really help, and can go a long way, but there are other things that
you can give to your new baby as well:
LOTS OF LOVE, HUGS, KISSES & CUDDLES
These are truly the most important things that you can offer your
baby--and
they’re
free, too!
Enjoy
your free stuff.
Babies are
little for such a short period of time, and for that very short period of time,
you, as parents, are the center of their universe, the most important people in
the world to them--You Rock Their World!
It gives me
such great pleasure and pride to be a mom to my three beautiful children, Kayla,
8, and twins, Shane and Katie, 5 years of age. I am so very grateful to be that
special person in their lives.
Enjoy your baby. Cherish every moment!
