Winning cool stuff!
I was reading Cool Mom Picks yesterday, a great blog that touts itselft as “just a few moms that track down cool stuff so you can stay busy being fabulous.” I can get behind that. I love the busyness of being fabulous. Anyway, the post that I came across was a review of Allison Friedland’s Uncommonly Cute — “hip and cool baby clothes for the trendy and hip baby in your life!”
And I thought, wait a minute. I have an incredibly hip and cool baby. And wouldn’t she instantly become that much hipper and cooler with the aid of some of these trendy onesies? But alas, our budget these days does not allow for frivolous expenditures. Even, sadly, when it comes to the Daughter.
So lucky for me I read the Cool Mom Picks post in time because they were doing a giveaway. I just had to email them by 8pm and say GIMMIEGIMMIE and they’d pick a winner at random to receive a free onesie from Uncommonly Cute. I can do that. I grew up the youngest in a family of four kids. I know GIMMIE well. So I did it. And guess what? Today I heard back from the fine folks at CMP saying I won! And this is the onesie I picked for my little rocker (shown in its t-shirt form here). Two words: chick drummer. Uh huh.
Wasn’t it just last year I won those free Erasure concert tickets for my husband? Now I definitely can’t say I never win anything. I seem to be pretty darn lucky these days. Free stuff rules! Especially cool free stuff.
From Uncommonly Cute’s website: “We know cool stuff doesn’t make the mom, but it certainly helps make life a little better.” Amen, sister!
This website is darling! See we honestly need to come up with something like this, we can do it for mommies on a budget like us… I’m sure you can think of a cute name! I know I’ve mentioned this to you before, but I have so many outlets that we could turn to if we’re really interested in doing something involving baby gidgets/gadgets and clothes; it’s such a big market right now… anything so we can eventually be at home with our girls!
