Deals of the Day: Wine Infused Whipped Cream, Lawrence Hall of Science, Ice Skating, Cake, Dining, Movie

WINE INFUSED WHIPPED CREAM
I'm buying this one! Three bottles of whipped cream infused with wine (Whipsy - which is very different than the Whip-It drug that sent Demi to the hospital!). Two bottles are flavored (hazelnut and cocoa) and one is original. Cost is $13 for three cans (50% off).

BUNDTINIS

I love little Bundt cakes so much I have my own mini Bundt pan.

Get on the Bone Marrow Registry - Help a 6 Year Old Boy

A call for potential bone marrow donors - get tested! A Bay Area preschool boy named Kyle is fighting aplastic anemia - his body doesn't produce enough new blood cells. He needs a bone marrow transplant or he could die within 6 months. Because he is half Caucasian, half Chinese, there would be a better likelihood of a match from donors with the same background. You can read more about Kyle's story here and get tested here.  It involves a saliva/cheek swab sample. That's it! For the record, my husband and I are both on the registry. This is an important thing to do.

You can follow Kyle's cause on Facebook and twitter as well.

Free Kindle Book Today

I was just about to put this in a link page to list later, but realized that the book is FREE today. It's written by a family travel blogger colleague, Jessie Voights. As someone who is a big believer that traveling broadening kids' horizons (as well as our own), it looks good. The book is Bringing the World Home: a Resource Guide to Raising Intercultural Kids.

Deals of the Day: Jamba Juice, Chocolate-Covrered Oreos or Fortune Cookies, Magazines, Graduation Photos, Restaurant.com

Some fun deals for today, including the funky drink one (which I bought myself).

MOLECULAR DRINKS
I just bought this. It's a kit to make fancy, molecular mixology drinks. For $29 ($59 value), you get a kit containing 50 additive sachets, mixing utensils, recipes, directions (and a CD), plus pipettes, so you can make fun drinks. You don't have to use alcohol in the drinks, so this would be fun for science experiments with the kids too.
