Free Stuff!

I have a Citibank card that has been accumulating points in the "Thank You Network" for several years now. The "Thank You Network" is a rewards program that lets you trade points for all kinds of stuff like gift cards, travel (you need a LOT of points for that), electronics, all kinds of stuff. I had stopped using that card because they raised the interest rate when the economy tanked, and I decided to check out my points and the rewards.

I had 24,477 points!! !!!! Which is, umm, a lot. So I started browsing the kid stuff.

I got Punk a Kettler tricycle:



and a Step2 WaterWheel water table:



For free. Free! FREE!!! Including shipping! And I chose "discounted shipping" which is 5 to 9 days longer and because of that, they took about 5,000 points off the "price"! FREE STUFF! That Kettler trike is $85ish on Amazon and $125 or so at the hippy toy stores, and the water table is usually about $40. FREE!

We're pretty much set for Punk's birthday now. And I still have 5,400 points left or so. I guess I'll keep using that Citibank card after all.

We were able to pay for our trip to Disney World last July with our Thank You points. A week at a Disney hotel + airfare - priceless! :)

Once when my husband was out of town and Christian was maybe two I bought a Step 2 Sand and Water table -did not care about the cost, as I was going crazy. It was, hands down, the very best thing that I EVER bought for my son. We easily used that thing incessantly for the next 3-4 years. YEARS! Sometimes I would buy those little tubes of animals, astronauts, Egyptian figures (etc.) and throw some in as a surprise...hours went by, I tell you. Hours and hours and hours. It just may change your life. :) I'm just so happy for you all.

That trike looks straight-up awesome. You could let her pedal, then when she gets tired, give her a push with the handle.

Dude.

You can STEER with the handle!
