This spa contacted me and is offering a discount to San Diego Mom blog visitors.  I don’t have any personal experience using them so I can’t recommend them per se.  But, I figure you all can look at their services and determine if you want to try them out.

The spa is located in Encinitas.  Their address is: 609 S. Vulcan Ave #101 Encinitas, CA. 92024  and Ph. 760-634-7772

Visit the web site at: http://www.spaforone.com

The offer for San Diego Mom blog visitors is 10% discount off any facial or massage and they will include a rainforest foot soak & a infrared sauna treatment at no charge.  Just print this post or the page on San Diego Mom for promotions and bring it in with you to get the discount.

This was sent to me by the Founder, a mom working part-time from home.  She’s put together this service to find the cheapest way to buy a book, CD or DVD online. It takes into consideration both the price of the item and the shipping costs and presents you with the cheapest option at the top.  Most major vendors such as Walmart, Amazon, etc. are included.

If you’re like me and you favor shopping online to dragging your young kids into a store…this is a nice service to avoid unnecessarily high shipping fees, etc.

I like to support local Moms with their ventures. This local mom came up with a product to help with the issue of breastfeeding in public.  I recall that awkward feeling and imagine most Moms struggle with the issue. 

Take a look at her solution here: http://knockerblocker.com/index.html 

This book helped me with everything from sleep to crying.  The 5 S’s.  My girl-friend lent it to me when our girls were 3 or 4 months old.  I remember watching her swinging her daughter and thinking she was nuts, until I read it and tried it and got it.  The babies like the movement.

Anyway, while the first chapter gets a little weird digging into a theory of the last or 4th trimester, strongly suggest you persevere and read about and then employ the 5 s’s - swaddling, side/stomach position, shhh sounds, swinging and sucking.  It works.
