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). 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

The Succulent Wife certainly lives up to its name. They offer so many fun and unique products but our favorite is their sexy retro aprons. They are the June Cleaver meets Pamela Anderson kind of apron. Many of them are one-of-a-kind pieces made of vintage fabrics and embellishments. Spice up your next meal and your marriage by cooking dinner in one of these aprons (and nothing else).


We love the old fashion styles and trends for kids that can be found at Bebe Babble. They carry the most adorable pinafore and we think the Esther Coat is to die for. You will also find a great selection of unique toys, clothes, and accessories. Bebe Babble is currently running a sale on their Ismodern and Kico clothing.

We are suckers for all things personalized or monogrammed so no surprise that we fell in love with this personalized flower dress. An exquisitely detailed dress of garden flowers and the child’s name on the chest. It is available in short or long sleeves. The best part is it will be beautifully gift wrapped and tied up with a thick grosgrain bow. This dress can be found at Posh Tots for $48.

It’s no secret that the Lipstick to Crayons sisters love them some chocolate. And the darker, the better! Ferrero Rocher has always been a favorite of ours but now there is something for all us dark chocolate lovers. Ferrero Rondnoir is a unique combination of a dark chocolate cream surrounding a “black pearl” of fine dark chocolate within a delicate, crisp wafer and topped with crunchy dark chocolate morsels. A dark chocolate lovers dream. Need we say more?
