About Us

I am a stay at home mom with four wonderful kids. I have been married for over 9 years to my best friend. I am head over heals in love with him. He always supports my crazy "thrifty adventures". We have a lot of fun together.

I was raised on a small dairy farm. Where I learned very young, the value of hard work and how to be thrifty in all areas of life. Growing up our meals were made from scratch. Only on special occasion would we get name brand cereal, chips, or any other fancy treats. Now that I am a Mom with my own budget, the basic foods always comes first. I too make most of our meals from scratch and take pride in feeding my family a well balanced healthy diet.

I enjoy seeing how far I can make our budget stretch, and when I take the time to match sales with coupons I am able to get all those "fun & fancy" items that would other wise be out of my budget. Being thrifty has always been a way of life for me, but it has also become a real joy.

    I have ones that I bought that my kids were never interested in, so I’d like to send them back… but what do you do if you don’t know your exact purchase date?

    My daughter absolutely loves these videos! She has learned a lot from them actually :) We would watch the sign language one while we were teaching her sign language and it really helped her. She has also started saying things that she has learned off the videos it is so cute! She learned to mooo like a cow from them! love it!

    Disney owned it when I bought my VHS tapes!

    My son loved and still loves the DVDs. I didn’t expect
    him to be a genius but there is no doubt he
    learned from them…

  • Julie Ann

    I bought a couple of the DVDs and CDs for my son and he never really seemed interested in them. I will for sure be sending mine in. I bought them in 2007.

    Disney did not buy the Baby Einstein franchise when they were producing VHS tapes. So I would say a big ole NO to returning VHS tapes.

  • megan

    I would like to know as well if the VHS can be returned. that is what I have-

    It has something to do with the marketing of them: basically that they inferred that these products would make your baby smarter when there is no actual proof that they will do that. It sort of seems to me like any normal person would understand that no product is guaranteed to make your baby smart; however I guess some people were misled to believe this. (It’s marketing people!) All I know is that my oldest would be just mesmerized by the original videos for long enough for me to get a shower – that alone was worth the purchase price in my book!

  • katie

    I am just wondering why??? I bought quite a few during this time but nothing is wrong with them. Does anyone know?

  • Helen in Meridian

    Sarah, please check my Paula Dean magazine comment. They sent me a 25% add’l coupon code.

  • Lisa

    Can VHS be returned?
