My husband and I started our spring cleaning this past weekend.  I love to organize and have everything in its place.  It also feels great to get rid of things we no longer use in order to free up space and get rid of clutter.  One of the biggest jobs we will have soon is going through our son’s old DVDs and video games he no longer plays.  He has quite a stack going on in his room and I’m constantly having to pick them up.  He’s only eight years old, but it’s amazing how many games, dvds, and cds he has accumulated in the past two or three years.

I was so excited to learn about musicMagpie, an online site that allows you to sell your old dvds, cds, and games for extra cash.  It’s as simple as entering the barcode from the item you want to sell at www.musicmagpie.com and getting a quote.  If you decide you want to sell, musicMagpie provides a free shipping label to send in your unwanted items and you get cash in return.  This is so much easier than trying to sell them individually or in groups at online auction sites, which I had thought about doing. 

Additionally, if you have an iPhone or Android device, you can use musicMagpie’s free app which turns your phone’s camera into a barcode scanner so you can scan fast and easily.  This is great if you have lots of unwanted games, dvds, and cds to sell. 

I am so excited about finally getting rid of these unwanted items around our home and the fact that we can get a little cash in return is just a bonus!   If your in the process of spring cleaning and find yourself not knowing what to do with all of those old games, cds, and movies on dvd, be sure and check out musicMagpie.

One of the most exciting things about having a baby is choosing just the perfect name!  As soon as we found out we were expecting our son, we pretty much had his name figured out immediately.  We went the traditional route, and some may even say our choice sounds really old fashioned, but our son was named after two of his great-great uncles, men we were proud to name our son after.

If you’re in the process of choosing a baby name, you will definitely want to check out this cool Baby Names infographic below which lists all sorts of baby names from the really popular to the truly trendy.  Need some pointers on how to go about choosing the perfect name?  All of that information is included as well.  And finally, head over to Pish Posh Baby and enter the Bugaboo Bee Stroller Contest.  The new baby needs a cool ride, right?

I plan a couple of parties each year.  My son’s birthday party is definitely the biggest one I plan all year, but I also help throw an occasional baby or wedding shower as well.  I love picking out party supplies for these events, but it’s often tough to do because we have so few brick and mortar stores where I live that offer a wide selection of supplies needed to make these events extra special.  I almost always have to order a majority of the things I need online because I just can’t find them here.

www.parteaz.co.uk offers a huge selection of party supplies perfect for any occasion.  From children’s birthday parties, anniversary parties and baby showers, Parteaz can supply your next event with all of the tableware, party favors, and little extras you need to make it special.  Need a cake?  They do that, also!

I love that Parteaz has such a great selection of children’s birthday party supplies that aren’t only centered on characters.  I prefer to have themed parties for my son (although we have done characters as well in the past), and love their great selection of sports, animal, and even military themed party supplies.  Parteaz isn’t only just for children’s events, though.  They also offer a fabulous selection of adult themed party supplies for events centered around the 50’s, casino, tropical, and Hollywood, just to name a few. 

If you’re currently planning an event and looking for a great selection of party supplies, be sure and check out Parteaz.
