Free is one of my favorite words. If it's one of yours, too, you'll love this offer. Until May 31st parents can go to yoplaitkids.com and request a coupon for a free six pack of Yoplait Kids drink-able or spoon-able yogurt. Mmm. The fact that it won't cost you a thing? Even yummier.
(Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but the coupons can't be redeemed in California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota or Tennessee.)
The spring season is still young, but that doesn't bother the people at Land of Nod: They're having a huge "spring cleaning" sale full of tons of great stuff...and it's up to 80 percent off! Our top pick: These chic and simple bowling bag-esque "Strike and Spare" diaper bags ($69, down from $140.)
If you're catching the green bug that Taryn just posted about, maybe it's time to green-up your home. I've switched a few items in my house so far—shower cleaner, hand soap, laundry detergent, and a few organic food products. I'm trying to take it one step at time because I find it overwhelming otherwise. So if you want to try something out and feel like getting a GoodyDeal, go to Greenhome.com (an online environmental store) for a 10% discount on any purchase of anything in the store today, February 29, 2008. Just enter the discount code "GREENLEAPDAY" at the checkout. They have everything eco-friendly that you need from your bath to your kitchen and from your kids to your pets!

I love these kids' tees from bioME 5 that I saw over on the brand-new lilSugar. They have every letter of the alphabet for each animal: from A for Alligator to Z for Zebra. The design is adorable and modern, and your kids will look great in the tees. But the best part is that each animal's name is spelled upside-down and backwards—this way your child can read the name when he looks down at his shirt. Fun, right?! It's also a purchase you can feel good about buying because the products are made with 100% certified organic cotton in sweatshop-free environments in the USA, and the company's processes are totally eco-friendly.
So just for our lovely GoodyBlog readers, bioME 5 is offering a special discount code. Just enter the coupon code "07GB13" when you're checking out to get $5 off your purchase AND free shipping within the US. Coupon valid until 12/31/07.
If you're not buying, head over to their website anyways—it's a really cool site with lots of wildlife sounds and animal noises to entertain your kids!
If you haven't seen the the amazing kids' furniture designed by Jennifer DeLonge yet, get thee to her website ASAP! She makes beautiful kids' furniture that looks like Honey I Shrunk the Sofa, and she sells everything from chairs to ottomans to modern toy storage. The best part is that DeLonge is offering a special discount for GoodyBlog readers. Just put in the code "holiday" to get 20% off anything you buy now through the holidays. Check out the pic below of a gingerbread house decorating party that Jennifer and her husband, Tom (rockstar member of Blink 182), threw at their house with the Grace Table and Stools. The tables are the perfect height for little crafters!
Back in April I blogged about a new t-shirt site, Tinyrevolutionary.com, that sells cool graphic kids tees with socially responsible messages. Now the folk at Tinyrevolutionary are offering a discount to Goodyblog readers—just enter the code GOODY15 when you check out and you'll save 15%. (Plus, $1 from each sale goes to a worthy cause, Infant Crisis Services, Inc. or Doctors Without Borders.) Another thing I love about these tees: Their new styles (like the one to the right) are made out of super-soft cotton so they feel like you've been wearing them for years.
Apparently, Halloween isn't the only reason to celebrate in October anymore. Today kicks off National Popcorn Month. No joke! There's an entire month devoted to those tiny, enticing kernels. And Dale and Thomas just came up with the perfect way to celebrate: Free popcorn! You have to spring for the shipping and handling, but they'll throw in two bags of Peanut Butter & White Chocolate DrizzleCorn, Chocolate Chunk N’Caramel, or other awesome gourmet flavors for free this month. Log on to their site by clicking here to pick out your favorites.
The idea behind One Lap Top Per Child is so great that it practically makes me want to cry:
Our mission is to provide a means for learning, self-expression and exploration to the nearly two billion children of the developing world with little or no access to education. While children are by nature eager for knowledge, many countries have little resources to devote to education—sometimes less than $20 a year per child. Imagine the potential that could be unlocked by giving every child in the world the tools they need to learn, no matter who they are, no matter where they live, no matter how little they may have.
To help solve this incredible gap they've developed an almost indestructible and super cheap lap top that they hope to give to every child in the developing world. To kick things off, they'll be offering a Give 1 Get 1 Program for a brief window of time. For $399, you will be purchasing two XO laptops—one that will be sent to empower a child to learn in a developing nation, and one that will be sent to your child at home. What an amazing Christmas present that would be! You can sign up right here.
