grace in small things: forty one
Random cool things, because really, I am all about cool. (I know, I’m laughing at that too! OMG.)
1. This dress, from kid a collective, which I wrote about for Cool Mom Picks; it’s still sitting here on my desk, making my ovaries hurt. (Also: hey, I’m writing for Cool Mom Picks! Which means that I get to drool over great kid stuff and claim that I’m working. Hooray!)
2. This big bag of bedtime goodies that I’m giving away on Friday. Still time to enter! Full details are here. Added incentive: The GoodNites people are giving away a full bedroom makeover for your child. And! You could help me win $1,000 worth of books to be donated to a community group.
3. The perfect storm of great hair and delicious cocktails in a beautiful salon. Enter to win a chance to party with Danielle, Heather and me, and have your hair made over by the staff at Sparrow Hair in Chicago on July 23. Contest ends Friday at midnight (Friday is a huge day around here, aparently). And if you need more incentive, let me tell you this: Sparrow Hair has a DJ booth. Seriously.
4. The perfect sundress, from Old Navy. $24.50, you all! And so so cute.
5. Hungry Beast. This is my new favorite website; it’s the Daily Beast with food! Specifically food provided by Cookstr, which is run by my friend Katie Workman, which means that Katie is this close to hanging out with Tina Brown, which is one of my fantasies. Got five minutes? Read this essay on bacon. OMG bacon! What’s not to love?

If every site gave away stuff this awesome every day I’d read more giveaway blogs. Your taste is stellar.

Ooooh! I love that dress! Actually I can spend a long time on etsy looking at all the very cute girls clothes.

OMG, the baby girl dress! I’m dying! Maybe I DO need a 3rd baby! Or maybe that dress comes in size 3T?

OK, damn. Just checked, and it’s just a baby dress. No size 3Ts, for my “baby.” But sooo cute. And congrats on the Cool Mom Picks gig! What a fun job that would be!

That dress is just ADORABLE!! (makes my ovaries hurt, too, as I just have a boy!)

Okay, so I keep seeing all these cute sundresses, including this one with spaghetti straps. I usually avoid them like the plague because really, who likes wearing a strapless bra? Or maybe someone knows of a comfortable strapless bra to go with all the cute sundresses out there?

Hungry beast. Love it! I’ll be sure to pass that website along to my brother who has been “affectionately” nicknamed “Sexybeast” by my son who just turned 4. He uses that term to describe anything he finds fantastic. (I honestly have NO idea where he picked that up!) Its quite embarrasing when he uses it in public, but fantastically amusing when he makes my (14 years older than me) brother blush!
I know, totally random, right?!
