Several months ago, we stopped offering advertising space for small businesses on our sidebars.  It got to be so much to keep up with that we had to put it on hold for a while.  We have now totally redesigned our advertising program and we re-launch it starting September 1st.  Our ad space will be VERY limited and will be filled on a first come, first serve basis.  If you are interested, please send us an email at advertising @ saveathomemommy . com (spaces removed) and we will get you the information you need. 

.

**We also have corporate ad space available on a limited basis as well.

Our Bako Business of the Week for this week is Scentsy!  Stefanie Gillespie is an independent consultant for Scentsy here in Bakersfield.  Before Stefanie started advertising on our site, I had never even heard of Scentsy before.  I can honestly say now that I love it!  I have a full size warmer that I keep in my family room and then a smaller plug in one in my kitchen.  There are so many wonderful scents to choose from that make my house smell so yummy.  One of our favorites is the coconut palm.  Below is the plug in warmer I have in my kitchen!

Scentsy Warmers use a low-watt bulb to melt specially formulated wax slowly, maximizing the fragrance time of the Scentsy Bar or Scentsy Brick. With no flame, soot, smoke or lead to worry about, the Scentsy system is a safe way to enjoy more than 80 fragrances.

I was able to go to the Little Feet Repeats sale today and I had so much fun!  I did so well.  I pictured a few of my favorites above along with some of the hairbows I got from KnotHead  Bows who has a booth set up at the sale.  She had some of the cutest crocheted flowers.  It was great to be able to take all my great finds over to her table and get hairbows to match!  I ended up getting:

2 shirts

1 outfit and

1 dress for my youngest  AND

2 Jammies

2 shoes

7 complete outfits

2 skirts and

4 dresses for my oldest

That is a total of 28 items all for $100.  One of the dresses was brand new from Children’s Place and there were several great Gymboree outfits in there as well.  I was super excited that I saved a ton of money, got a lot of great bargains in one trip and help support other moms!

You should definitely go and check it out!

For all you local readers, I am sure many of you have heard about Little Feat Repeats and their great sales.  I was able to go to the last one in the Fall and I loved it!  I scored some great clothes for my little girls and I am super excited about stocking up again.  The one thing I loved was that the items were high quality!  I got all expensive name brands in great condition.  It was so nice as well to not have to hunt around at yard sales or search through clearance racks at tons of stores.  I got great prices on quality items all at once.

The sale is March 10-13th

3201 F Street,
