Amazon Prime Day Deals - Back to School Clothes for Girls and Boys

Ya'll, seriously - After my mother passed away suddenly in 2017, I only had a couple of weeks to shop for school clothes! Yes, I had other things consuming my mind, BUT I knew that I could depend on my good friend Amazon to come through for the win!

I order everything from t-shirts and dresses to underwear and socks on Amazon for my little one's first year of kindergarten. The good thing is that EVERYTHING fit her that year (and the next year). We have been satisfied with all of our Amazon Essentials and Spotted Zebra purchases and I try to tell other moms about the products anytime I have a chance.

This post contains affiliate links to help you build your shopping list and travel list for your family. We provide easy links for you to click to make your busy lifestyle easier!

Here are our favorite Amazon Essentials and Spotted Zebra products for the first month of school in August and September! Our tip for parents and grandparents is to sort the items by day (in bags) and label them for each day (perhaps Monday - Friday). Make things simple! :)

Here's the entire list, but also here are FIVE selected Amazon Prime Deals for Back to School Clothes for Girls! - https://amzn.to/2ln53yR

Also, if you have a little boy, here are FIVE selected Amazon Prime Deals for Back to School Clothes for Boys! - https://amzn.to/2jTHrS7

Seven Tips for Shopping on Amazon Prime Day!

It is the most wonderful time of the year! Amazon Prime Day!

Amazon Prime Day was created a few years ago for Amazon.com to boost sales of their products in the summertime. This event was similar to Black Friday events, but it also included limited time deals, subscribe and save deals with coupons, and deals that lasted all day. The products offered on Amazon Prime Day usually range from electronics and clothing to food products and household items.

Here are seven tips for shopping on Amazon Prime Day:

Tip #1 - Remember to download the Amazon app to receive notifications of limited time deals.

Tip #2 - At the beginning of Amazon Prime Day, remember to examine all of the limited time deals and then add these deals to your notification/watch list on the Amazon app.

Tip #3 - Determine if you need to purchase an annual subscription to Amazon Prime, Amazon Music Unlimited, or Amazon Kindle Unlimited before the day begins.

Tip #4 - Purchasing Amazon gift cards from Kroger or other stores that offer fuel points for gift card purchases.

Tip #5 - Use online shopping portals that offer rebates or airline miles for using their link to access Amazon. These shopping portals can include E-bates, American Airlines, United Airlines, and others.

Tip #6 - Set a budget before you begin shopping on Amazon Prime Day. It is easy to spend more money than you anticipate spending.

Tip #7 - Develop a list of items that usually appear on your weekly/monthly shopping list, then look for these items when the Amazon Prime list becomes available.

These simple tips can help everyone create a strategy for one of the most important savings days of the year! Remember to prepare a strategy and you can save money on items that you will purchase anyway.

This post contains affiliate links to help you build your shopping list and travel list for your family. We are passionate about the product and the experiences listed in this post, but we also wanted to provide easy links you can click to purchase products for your busy lifestyle.

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

The @WeekendsCount Family!

Cutting the Cable Cord and Saving Money for Your Family Weekend Activities with Mohu and Roku Devices on Amazon

Our family decided to cut our access to cable around four years ago! We LOVE travel and we had to find a way to afford it. So, we decided to save money for our family travel and activities by cutting the cable cord. After that cord cutting moment, we decided to purchase a Roku device from Amazon to view our favorite network television shows on ABC, NBC, PBS (and PBS Kids), etc.

Also, we purchased a television antenna as well. This has been a GAME changer for our family because we get to watch local TV channels. We are HUGE fans of the Mohu antenna and we've been able to watch around local TV channels in the DFW area (including PBS Kids). The Mohu antenna looks like this:

This post contains affiliate links to help you build your shopping list and travel list for your family. We are passionate about the product and the experiences listed in this post, but we also wanted to provide easy links you can click to purchase products for your busy lifestyle.

The Roku device is a simple device that you link to your television and your wireless internet. It takes around 3-5 minutes to set up and then you are good to go! It looks like this:

In fact, we have a over 294 Roku Channels (mostly free) to watch our favorite shows and YouTubers. Here is a list of our favorite Roku Channels.

1) Baby by HappyKids (Great kid's channel) & 2) Happy Kids TV

3) Tiggy and Boo by HappyKids and 4) SmartKids by HappyKids

5) Dolls n' Crafts by Happy Kids and 6) Rock n' Roll Kids

7) Phonics for Kids and 8) HappyKids Interactive

9) Girls Channel by Happy Kids and 10) Boys Den by Happy Kids

11) Little Pim - Language Learning for Kids (and great for adults as well)

12) Cocoro - TV for Kids (FREE)

Then, PBS for Kids (this is also available over the air as well)!

PBS Kids - This is one of my little one's favorite channels! Did I mention that it is FREE?

FREE Sesame Street

FREE Curious George

FREE Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood

FREE Wild Kratts

FREE Odd Squad

FREE Splash and Bubbles

FREE Ready, Jet, Go

FREE Nature Cat

FREE Arthur

FREE Peg + Cat

I mean, can you disagree that this is the BEST Roku Channel EVER??? :) You can read our blog post about PBS Kids here - Tune Into KERA Kids PBS - A 24 Hour Kids Channel for Families

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!
