The Martha Blog

It's no secret I LOVE Martha Stewart. So I was really excited to see her blog contest here! Check it out.

Guest Post- Laurin & Kelly

What's better than one fun and stylish blogger.....two! I love reading Laurin & Kelly Talk and it's awesome because the two friends blog to each other about all kinds of things. I didn't hesitate to ask them to do a guest blog here! So please enjoy!

Hi. This is Laurin of Laurin and Kelly Talk. This is our first guest post for another blogger and we are happy it's Amanda. We love her site.

Don't be mad that Amanda isn't here today. Just follow her over to our place at www.laurinandkellytalk.com because we are swapping blogs today.

Apparently Kelly and I love shopping as much as Amanda and we wanted to share with her readers a couple of our favorite things and some places we stalk on the internet.

Right now I am obsessed with the Dell Mini 9 computer. I have been madly entering giveaways in the hope of winning one, but am totally willing to shell out the bucks to get it if I don't. The mac daddy model is only $499. Do you know how much blogging I could do in the car line of my kids' school?

I love the internet. Love it. I find the greatest things in the shopping que of StumbleUpon. It's my rabbit hole. But, one site I could never live without is www.ShopStyle.com. I use it for shopping and to find great fashion for our readers. Just enter whatever is on your wish list at the moment, like "flat boots" and, voila, a catalog just for you.

Hi. It's Kelly. Right now I'm all about channelling Kate Moss with the black leggings and black ballet slippers. I am a total fashion junkie and I'm coveting the Mighty Fine "I Only Kiss Superheroes" tee. I think my husband will love it.

You can get it at Boutique to You, a great site where you can find current shots of what the celebs are wearing, like in US Weekly. You can "Shop by Celebrity" or "Shop by Designer".

Sick today

I'm under the weather today. But come back tomorrow for our guest bloggers from Laurin & Kelly Talk. I will be guest blogging on their site tomorrow as well!

White House Black Market

Just saw these in the White House Black Market catalog and I think they would be so fun with a cute little back dress! $98.

Vegan Eating

On Saturday I spent a good amount of time at Henry's looking at more package labels than I ever thought possible. As I said in a previous post, Piper is not tolerating the dairy I am eating (I nurse her), so I need to lay off all dairy. This is coming from a woman who ate a string cheese and yogurt every day (and that was just before lunch). So I bought all kinds of non-dairy items from Henry's and came home for some taste testing. Keep in mind I am a very picky eater to begin with. So I tried non-dairy chocolate ice cream, different brands of chocolate chip cookies, Tofutti ice cream sandwiches, and a bunch of other stuff ($45 worth). Ummm yes, there was only ONE thing I liked and it was this lonely little chocolate chip cookie. It is made by Nana's Cookie Company. Thank you Nana! Just had to share.

Oh my gosh!

I just came across these adorable crowns here and I am in love! You better bet that Piper will be wearing one of these on her first birthday! Too cute for words.

Soy what?

Ok so I need help. Looks like I will be going Vegan for the next 6 months (well okay I'll be eating meat still, so not really). Piper is not tolerating any of the dairy that I am eating and I still want to nurse her, so no dairy for me! I need any recommendations you might have for good vegan products and where you got them from. The doctor said I should go to Whole Foods, any other suggestions? Wish me luck because pretty much my entire diet centers around cheese and yogurt. I miss cheese already; string cheese, cheddar cheese, provolone.....oh and I love sour cream....oh and I love milk chocolate. Damn!

Cell Phone Speaker

I heart my Contour Surface Sound Compact Car Kit. It's a flat-panel speaker with microphone that is bluetooth compatible and wireless. I bought this instead of a hands free headset and I love it. It just sits on my visor and all I have to do is talk. It may not be pretty but I use it every day!

Haute Stuff Tutu Bodysuits

I just posted about one of these tutu outfits on my other blog. They are ADORABLE! I found them on Nordstroms.com and I love them. Just wanted to share.

Lou and Lee's headbands

These headbands are sooo cute! And I wish I could buy them for Piper but I can't (see my other blog for details). Check them out at Lou and Lee's Etsy shop here. Maybe you can buy one for your daughter and I can "borrow" it for a week or two....or forever!
