Nikki from Bumps and Giggles Photography is a friend of mine. A wonderfully sweet, hugely talented, friend of mine.

She is currently working on putting together some new promotional materials for her photography business, and is in need of newborn models, preferably between the ages of 5 and 10 days old, to work on a few particular setups.

Interested families will need to bring their newborn model for a 2-4 hour time slot, to Nikki’s home studio in Murrieta, California. The photo session will be done FREE of charge, and families will receive three complementary gift prints (size 8×10 or smaller) for their participation. Each family will be able to choose prints from an online gallery of thirty or so photos, and your complimentary prints will be provided in a high quality dry mounted finish. Additional photos may also be purchased by participants at a discounted 20% off the usual rate.

For readers of MommyTopics.com, Nikki is offering an additional 8×10 photo ($50 value) when you mention this post, in your email to her expressing interest in setting up a FREE newborn photo shoot to take place by mid October 2010. Email Nikki at: nikki@bumpsandgigglesphotography.com

And just look at these photos…

Amongst her ability to capture the radiant beauty of pregnancy, and the adorable moments of childhood, Nikki specializes in posing and capturing the newborn “curl” only prominent in newborns for those first few precious days outside the womb. Even if you aren’t delivering by October, but are “expecting”, live in or are able to visit Southern California, and are looking for a highly talented maternity and newborn photographer… Nikki is your girl!

If you will have, or know someone who will have a newborn in September or early October of 2010, and would be able to visit Nikki’s studio in Murrieta, California some time within the first ten days or so after delivery, email Nikki RIGHT AWAY, to take advantage of this incredible FREE PHOTO SHOOT opportunity!!!! nikki@bumpsandgigglesphotography.com

Don’t you just love Pat and Oscar’s breadsticks?

Yum, yum, yummy!

Once in a while I stop by there, just to pick up a bag of breadsticks and bring it home for the family, to eat with dinner.

Last week I was out running errands and I decided to make just such a stop for some breadsticks because I knew it would send my children and my husband into happy little fits of joy when I walked through the door with those piping hot garlicky soft sticks of yumminess.

When I pulled into a parking spot, I realized I was super thirsty and that I hadn’t eaten all day. I still had a few more errands to run so I decided along with the breadsticks to buy myself a salad for lunch… the Lemon Chicken Salad to be exact… and a large drink.

And this is when I learned about a remarkable deal!

The woman behind the counter handed me this cup.
And then she said something I’ve never heard in my entire life.

She said, “Keep this cup because it is good for FREE Refills for an entire year.”

Wait. “What?” I asked.

“The cup,” she said, “Just bring it back with you anytime you come in over the next year and you can use it to get free refills.”

“So wait… let me get this straight. Anytime I am out running errands and I need a drink because I’m just parched, I can grab my cup, walk through these doors, mosey on over to the soda fountain, fill it up, not pay a dime, and no one will stop me?” I asked.

“Well, you do have to buy something,” she said.

Aha! That’s what I was waiting for. The catch. I knew there was a catch. There’s always a catch.

“But a breadstick is only fifty-nine cents,” she said.

And when I thought about stopping in to get a drink for free and also getting a breadstick for fifty-nine cents, I realized there was no catch, because that fifty-nine cent breadstick is a BONUS!

I mean really… how could I ever pass through the doors of Pat and Oscar’s and not get at least one breadstick?

What a deal!

I’m telling you…  Head into Pat and Oscar’s this week and get yourself a cup. You wont be sorry.

Busiest shopping day of the year… I see you coming at me in a few weeks and I’m more ready now than ever. I will not be taken down this year by thirst, hunger, or lack of caffeine. I’m armed with a Free Refill Cup from Pat and Oscar’s. When I’ve got errands to run and shopping deals to conquer… I’m ready. More ready now than ever!

Thank you Pat and Oscar’s. You just made my day! Nope… You just made my year!

A year of free refills!
