Sears Pick up service, a great help for the busy mom

Yesterday I ran to the International Mall to go shoe shopping for my little one. I went to Sears, where I consider you can find a good selection of shoes for toddlers. While in the store I remembered that I needed to renew some small appliances (One of my New Year's resolutions!). I needed these items ASAP and I did not want to go to the mall over the weekend (with the hubby to carry these), but I was not able to carry the items by myself, plus the stroller with my non-stop toddler. The cashier offered me to send the items to the Pick-up center, located at the first floor, with a small parking lot on front for pick-up customers, so I just had to park there and scan my receipt and wait for a Sears representative to carry the items to my car!

If you need to hit the mall for big items, and you do not have anyone to give you a hand, I suggest to shop at Sears, and take advantage of this great Service. 

Visit the store locator before going to check the location of the nearest Sears that offers the Store Pick up service. Also if you do not want to select your items at the store, you can buy online and pick it up in store.

FREE Mommy Cards from Kodak, just pay for shipping

Kodak Gallery offers 50 FREE contact cards that are great to use as Mommy Cards, just add the picture of your little one(s), your contact info and hand it to other moms that you meet on the park or at your mommy's group or daycare. These are printed on high-quality paper with UV coating, I got mine a few months ago and they look great. These photo contact cards are really a hit for moms, because it's easier to relate the kids picture and name that just the name, at my daughter daycare I am Cynthia's mom, not Elena ;-)

You can also use the cards as Thank you notes, since you can add any text on the front or back of the cards.
