The Glow Guide
                    - it's your time to shine with natural refreshing confidence
Greetings!  Liam and glow bottle photo
Let's face it, babies are expensive!  Who knew someone so small would need so much stuff?  This month the Glow Mamas bring you tips for saving money in a tough economy. 
A good place to start is making your own stylish drinks at home rather than paying expensive bar prices.  Why not share a few end of summer laughs with friends over a pitcher of Kiwi Cradle - be kind to your body and save on gas, parking, tips and a babysitter!  Keep reading to see the 3 B's thecradle.com recommends for how to save money with a baby.  We've also added a 4th B - Be In To Win!   
Glow Mama flickr group badgeWe've had a great response so far, but there is still time to enter our Show Glow Photo Contest...

Cutting Coupons not Corners

Glow Mama baby budgetYou couldn't miss all the back-to-school bargains that have been flying around lately, but what about us moms that are a long way from buying back-packs, laptops and cellphones for our kids?   
 
Well, we've sourced some great deals and discounts for things like diaper bags, nusery bedding, slings and labor gowns... especially for the new and expecting moms.   
Thrifty mommy
 
Our friend Amy at www.thecradle.com was on ABC's View from the Bay last week with lots of great tips and suggestions on how to bring up a baby in a tough economy

We love her advice about sticking to the three Bs to help stop us blowing the budget or breaking the bank: 
  • Borrow - what you can, everything from maternity clothes to furniture
  • Basics - stick to the necessities and try not to get carried away with the very cute but impractical extras
  • Buy in Bulk - order large quantities online and looking for online discounts or coupon codes
