Free nursing cover (pay S&H)

Blog reader Misty shared this deal:

I found something for your readers. It’s a promo code for a free nursing cover (a $32 value). You just have to pay shipping. I just ordered mine. They are pretty cute. Go to www.uddercovers.com. Click on “shop now” and then use the promo code “Family2010″. Shipping for me was about $10, but I still think it’s worth it. :)
