Prime Day for Parents

If you’ve been a parent for any length of time you know that raising kids involves a fair amount of “stuff.” Although many of us (myself included) try to keep things as simple as possible, kids do need things–clothing, a few (well-selected) toys, gear for school, etc.

When it comes to the “stuff” of parenting, Amazon has become my go-to over the years. Dragging kids around through a physical store is not my idea of fun so I avoid that if possible. Plus, with free shipping, it’s hard to pass up the convenience.

If you haven’t joined Prime, this is the time of year to do it. You can even just sign up for the 30-trial membership if you’re uncertain.

This is the best time of year to sign up because Prime Day is October 13-14 this year. Since I’ll be scanning for deals anyway, I’ve decided to post any parent-friendly items here in case it might help some of my readers as well.
