Although she only has one child, you could argue she has two babies - 7 month-old Cooper was born in her heart. Her other baby, her tutu making business, was born out of determination. They both play an important role in her life, because without one, there wouldn't be the other.

CouponingtoDisney.com Mom Helps With Savings Everyday

As author of the popular bargain blog CouponingToDisney.com, local mom and self-described coupon-addict Kristin Cooper of Moody has steadily gained the attention of tens of thousands of readers around the nation-as well as the national media. The premise of her blog is that anyone can save thousands of dollars a year by couponing, stockpiling, and taking advantage of rebates.

After three biological children and several miscarriages, Dr. Gary Bullock and his wife Michele had figured “that was it” when it came to having children. Yet he and his wife were intrigued by adoption, and after having 3 girls born two years apart each time, there was still a yearning, something that wasn’t solved with the three children or a corvette.

What Our Advertisers Have to Say

Birmingham Parent reaches the family market more effectively than any other publication. It is in most all schools, libraries, hospitals, doctor offices, daycares, convenience stores, restaurants and many other outlets. Birmingham Parent covers seven counties with more than 600 outlets. I can speak of this confidently because we handle their distribution.

Our distribution company has handled Birmingham Parent and several other major publications for more than 21 years in Birmingham. We have knowledge of the most effective outlets in the Birmingham market with our long experience in the area. Our employees are only the most reliable, dependable and honest distribution people who have all been with us a long time. We take great care in maintaining our outlets month after month. That is why I can say that the Birmingham Parent is the best buy for the advertising dollar by far over any other publication.

Birmingham Parents main magazine distribution service

"We advertise seasonally with Birmingham Parent, and we keep a tally of our responses. We get 75% of our responses from our Birmingham Parent ad, stronger than our other advertising methods combined.

Birmingham Parent really got the word out for us. It made the phone ring, and it helped us sell the quality we offer in teaching safety first, and swimming skills from infants to adults. If you're in it, it must be good."

Ponies were the only thing I ever wanted for Christmas or birthdays. So there was a need for the service. A good place to advertise was right here in Shelby County- Birmingham Parent. I loved Birmingham Parent, and they helped me build my business.

In 2008 my expenses increased so I could not pay the little amount for the ad. This was a terrible mistake. I placed the ad again in March 2010 and by April the calls began. I had 8 in one day! Before putting the ad back in I would be lucky to get 8 a month.

Birmingham Parent is such a great resource for parents and grandparents. I would like to thank Carol Evans for working with me over the years and how blessed all of us are to have her on our side.

It is obvious that mothers (working and non-working) read Birmingham Parent from cover to cover. With over 40 years as an advertiser, I have never had the consistent response that I have had to my ad in your magazine from any kind of publication. You are doing a real service to a large, growing and in need of help population.

I have owned my company since 2004. At the time, I only offered competitive dance classes. This past year, we began teaching other specialty dance classes such as Jazz, Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Tumbling, Vocal Performance and Combination classes.

Because of our advertising with Birmingham Parent, we were able to let the community know we had branched out and had so much more to offer. Those who had no idea of our re-structure were finally calling and asking, "Where have you been?"

Anytime I run ads with Birmingham Parent, my call volume increases. As a business owner, I am happy knowing my advertising dollar is well spent. As a parent, I enjoy reading the specialty articles, which are always informative. I feel this magazine is THE parent resource guide.
