I'm Michelle Cox -- the owner of Lipstick to Crayons. I’m also a Mom to three kids (a teen, tween and toddler), a professional writer (www.michellemcox.com) and a blogger (www.fromthemom.com). And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

Fab Finds Friday

We have found some fabulous products to share with you!

How cute is this? Colorful funky tees include your child’s initial and name. A fun way to personalize the basic tee. Choose from a variety of color combinations. Makes a great gift! Each tee is sweetly wrapped and tied with ribbon. They can be found at Avannabel Baby in styles for boys and girls. We’re thinking these would be great for those holiday photos.

We are excited to share this charming clothing line from Tiny Bubbles. They specialize in the design and manufacture of premium children’s clothing and accessories for children – sizes 3/6 months to 6. You will find the clothing to be of excellent quality and sweetly unique. Be prepared for other mommies to stop and ask “where did you find that?”


Are these not the cutest lunchboxes ever? Byo Munchlers are designed by the award-winning children’s book illustrator, Stephen Savage. Not only are they cute but practical.
