    Bass Buds*

    Have you entered my giveaway yet?? It’s open until midnight on Friday! As you know, I am a great lover of music. If I could, I would have music playing just about all the time. Before the wee-bean arrived, my iPod was a constant fixture in my purse and I would often pop in my ear phones and listen to something while out and about. Now that I’m in mummy-mode, I haven’t had many opportunities to lose myself in my music like I used to. I couldn’t really use headphones while I was constantly waiting for my non-napping wee one to jolt herself awake after 6 minutes of rest. But…

It was nothing compared to the white-out conditions on the other side of the city, but I took it as a sign that it was time to introduce Miss Ruby to my favourite music in the world. Once I opened the door, I haven’t been able to shut it off and I’ve had carols playing at every possible minute.

    Colin’s Closet Giveaway Winner*

    Oh my goodness. I know I promised to announce the winner of the Colin’s Closet giveaway this morning, but this whole day (and week) has just completely slipped away from me! I’ve been sick with a sneaky cold whose symptoms only get disastrous in the evening… so once I get going about my day I feel almost normal until it sneaks up on me and BAM! I feel awful all night. And then today I had the Hubster home so we started doing errands and then the wee-bean needed me and and and… …you know how it goes. ANYWAY. Like you care about any of that. ha The giveaway ended…

    Giveaway: Colin’s Closet*

    I like nice things. Do you know what I like more than nice things? Being able to give YOU nice things. Isn’t that nice? I’m fortunate in that I know some incredibly talented and creative people. Recently my friend Andrea launched a new business that I love. She and I got to talking, and thus this little giveaway idea was born. Andrea is creator and brains behind Colin’s Closet–she makes wonderfully stylish and cute bow-ties for the little man in your life. Seriously. I have always loved tiny boy dress clothes, but these bow ties? I melt. Here’s the best part: she is giving away not one, but two ties…
