Black Wagon

www.BlackWagon.com- 15% off (everything but bedding and furniture) Promo code: SINGLEPARENTS15

We may have not been the coolest cats in our class, but that doesn’t mean our kiddo-s can’t be! All it might take is one stop to Blackwagon , known as THE style destination for babies and kids. Some of our favorite brands are Appaman, Egg & Avocado, and Glug Baby. But since they don’t make clothes in momma sizes (unless you are Posh Spice and can fit in to a 2T tee-shirt), we can live vicariously in the cool thru our little ones. We also love their hip children’s books and journals, like “The First 1000 days” and “Andy Warhols Colors.” One author we are particularly fond of is Lisa Brown who has written such titles as “Baby Do My Banking,” “Baby Make Me Breakfast,” and “Baby Fix My Car.” ( Might we also suggest “Baby Take Out the Poopy Diaper Garbage” ? ) Since we are characteristically sans partner, it would be quite nice if our little ones learned to share in the household duties from the earliest age possible. What, you think 18 months is too young to give a child a wrench? Maybe you are right, and if we dressed them in the adorable duds from Blackwagon we probably want to keep them from any grease stains.

Blackwagon has a great gift registry, so why not go big for your superstar’s next b-day and register them there? In the meantime, you can enjoy  15% off everything but bedding and furniture. And if you ever find yourself in the Mississippi Neighborhood in Portland, check out their flagship store and say hi to Megan and Sara for us—they are definitely uber-cool mamas with a vision for mini-me style.

Clementine NW

www.ClementineNW.com-- 10% off Promo Code: SingleParent
 

One thing we have become very conscious of since having kids and becoming stewards of the earth for the next generation is the importance of sustainability and all natural products. That’s why we love Clementine NW , because they offer the best organic and environmentally friendly products without sacrificing fashion or fun. Every brand they carry is committed to exceptional quality and sound environmental practices. They also have a great Blog with tips and advice on how to raise your baby “green.” We just jotted down some notes from their “Spring Cleaning” entry about the best recipes for using safe ingredients to make my own cleaners, like using white vinegar to removes soap scum, grease and mineral deposits and apple cider vinegar to polish clean any window. Our goal is to teach our kids green practices and pamper them as much as we can with organic products. The 10% discount for us SingleParent Subscribers from ClementineNW will definitely come in handy! Promo code:

Spicy Sinsations

www.SpicySinsations.com-- 50% off one item on first order, email spicyprincess@comcast with promo code: SPICY to recieve discount

Why it took us until we were almost 30 to own our first battery operated adult toy is beyond me. And knowing what we know now, it is truly a crying shame! Wow the empowerment that comes from taking our sexual satisfaction into our own hands!
What started as a daring and blush-filled bookclub party ended as the best decision of our quarter life.
I must confess, the moment the “package” arrived I ripped open the contents and scrambled around the room for batteries. When I couldn’t find any I grabbed the screwdriver and pried open one of my son’s talking toys. Sorry, Elmo, mommy needs these more. You may have heard of the rabbit from Sex and the City. Turtle Frenzy is even better, if that’s possible. Don’t be afraid to take a chance, a night of good vibrations awaits you. And Single Parent Specials subscribers get 50% off one item on their first order from the Spicy Princess. Visit www.spicysinsations.com  and email her your special order and be sure to mention SPS to get your discount. If you want to have even more fun, join us in Portland in May for the single mommas For Your Pleasure party (sorry no single dads allowed). Check the i heart single parents community  for more info.  Dana Corey, A.K.A. the Spicy Princess not only entertains, but educates as well. We’ll be there with note pad ready!
 

Snaps Couture

www.SnapsCouture.com-- free shipping promo code: spsfreeship

When we became pregnant and were noticibly without husband and/or an overflowing income, every one of our friends and relatives did their part to gather whatever hand me downs they could find and pass them on to us, presumably so our bundles of joy would not remain in receiving blankets their entire first year. Oh bless them! We had a warehouse full of (slightly stained) onsies, pjs, and baby gap outfits. And although we were and will always be eternally grateful for their kindness, we couldn’t help but wish we could dress our kiddo’s in something slightly less “loved” and/or generic. What fun is having your very own baby if you can’t dress him or her up in a way that reflects their/your fun and funky style every now and then? Wouldn’t we have loved some “onsies with attitude” like the unique creations and custom designs from Snaps Couture.
The exclusive designs are made on high-quality comfy fabric in all the trendiest colors. Thank the people in your life who so generously passed along to you the garbage bag full of baby clothe essentials and then spice up your kiddo’s wardrobe with a onsie from Snaps Couture. If you are an SPS subscriber, use the promo code spsfreeship and take advantage of free shipping! 
 

Beaute Mineral

www.BeauteMineral.com Get a FREE Luscious Lips Natural Lip Color when you purchase $35.00 or more at Beauté Minéral’s online store. Promo Code:SPS2008

Remember the days when we tried to make ourselves look as old as possible by loading up on layers of Covergirl and super-gluing on fake nails? (Well, could you blame us? We wanted to pass for at least 18 when we tapped grocery store strangers on the shoulder to buy us beer. Not that our kids will ever know that about us!) Well, we think its fair enough to say that the cake-batter look of foundation and electric blue eye-shadow no longer serve us.
Thank god we have an alternative. If you’ve ever been up at 2:30 in the morning tossing and turning about what you are going to put in the kids lunches for tomorrow now that you are officially out of all bread, cheese, handisnacks and bananas, and turned on the tv to help you thru it, chances are you’ve seen an informercial or two on minerale make-up.
Yes, mineral make-up is a small miracle and it does make your skin look amazingly fresh and flawless. But all mineral makeup is not created equal and before you let your sleep deprivation cause you to call the number on the screen (and shell out ridiculous amount of make-up mula), you should know about BeauteMineral. Right now SPS subscribers get....with the promocode: SPS08. Their pure and natural make-up is completely filler, fragrance, talc, oil, paraben and cruelty free. Its totally worry-free. The only thing we worry about now is our kids finding out about our “make-up mask” and wine-cooler past. =)
