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

September 14th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

The days are getting shorter and the air is a little cooler. Time to do your fall clothes shopping. Jasper Wren is a great place to start. Cute, colorful, and comfortable clothes made by two moms. Made of 100% fine ring-spun combed cotton by American Apparel. Their knit clothing features a comfortable stretch with excellent durability through repeated washings.


Get a head start on your holiday shopping by picking up a few Lollitops. A ready made unique gift! All lollitops come packaged in the most tasteful manner. Each lusciously soft tee is hand-wrapped like a giant lollipop! The 100% combed cotton ring spun t-shirts are currently available in 12, 18 and 24 months sizes and feature such stylish embellishments and details as:

  • high-end embroidery of original designs and hip nicknames
  • trendy and decadently soft 1 X 1 baby rib
  • beautiful quality reverse cover-stitching
  • cool side slits for a fashionable fit
  • super-soft lined interiors with smooth fusible
  • trendy appliqué for contrast and fashion-forward appeal
  • heavy, durable weight (6.2 oz/sq. yd) remains a delight after repeated wear and washings

Lollitops are currently on sale at Avannabel Baby.

While on the topic of gift giving, check out Gifts.com. They have caught on to the Push Presents trend. Push presents are the latest trend in gift giving. They are a token of appreciation and congratulations for the proud mother post-birth. I’m still waiting for my push present from hubby for our fourth baby. That was 21 months ago! I’d better send him to gifts.com.

In need of snack ideas for your kid’s school lunch? Fizzify their tongue with a new yogurt snack from Yoplait. Fizzix mixes the wholesome goodness of Yoplait yogurt with a blast of carbonation for a fizzy taste that your kids will love. It’s a new fizzy sensation with cool new flavors like Blue Raspberry Rage and Strawberry Watermelon Rush. Even better, Fizzix has the same great nutrition as Yoplait Go-Gurt. My kids love them!
