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.

Thrifty Wednesday Fabulous Finds

According to the latest research, 30% of holiday shoppers will be in front of their computer online shopping this black Friday. Ridiculous crowds, high gas prices as well as the vast array of fab online deals are keeping more shoppers home. I certainly cannot blame them- I plan to spend Friday in my pj’s, drinking strong coffee (and perhaps nibbling on some dark chocolate) and sitting in front of my computer screen searching for those great deals. Where to find these fabulous finds? Go to http://www.black-friday.net/ to see a listing of online specials. I saw lots of free shipping offers from some of the big name retailers. Speaking of free shipping, Avannabel Baby will be offering free shipping AND almost every item in their store will be on sale! This offer is only good this Friday until midnight. This is a great time to find that perfect holiday outfit such as this one. Coordinating red longall (or santa suit for baby) for brother is also available. Happy Shopping!
