Love an amazing bargain? 
Seek the thrill of anticipating a daily deal…
and trying to nab one before they disappear? 

Deal A Day online shopping is a massive trend and we’ve compiled a list of baby & toddler-friendly deal a day websites for you to bookmark.  Many of these sites have Facebook Fan pages which’ll keep you on top of discovering the deal of the day much more quickly than your inbox. Though the majority are US-based, most offer economical shipping rates to Canada!

True Cuddles News!

by True Cuddles on July 12, 2010

Happy Summer!

I am sending a huge thank you to you, a True Cuddles reader, for supporting my business and contributing to it’s growth!

It has been a whirlwind, and quite the ride. The True Cuddles community has grown to over 3000 subscribers, loyal customers and many more readers. Throughout the past {nearly 3} years, we’ve enjoyed bringing you incredible deals and discounts, and sharing with you other amazing mom-runs, businesses, and fabulous giveaways.

In September, our sweet family is expecting our second little one… with baby’s arrival only a couple short months away… a rambunctious toddler… the summer sun… and my design business, we’ve had to evaluate time and priorities.

As of today, July 12, True Cuddles will no longer provide our Cuddle of the Week feature. Gradually, our blog’s focus will shift featuring deal alerts, even those from other deal a day sites. We will continue to provide promotional posts from other shoppes, featured moms, giveaways and product reviews. We hope you continue to follow and enjoy www.truecuddles.ca

Sponsors and online shoppes… please feel free to continue to email promotions, deals & discounts and I’ll continue to share them with the True Cuddles community.

Shop the final 48! The True Cuddles shoppe will be open for another 48 hours to grab any last chance items you may have missed at up to 75% off regular retail!

Also, I invite you to follow my design blog, www.daffodildesign.com , where I’ll be posting more regularly sharing my designs, inspirations, arts & crafts.

A huge cuddly thank you!

Enjoy the summer sun!

Truly,

Sarah Milne
