English Retreads giveaway

I am totally not a purse person. I love bags, but a purse really has to be just right in order for me to want to carry it. Definitely not too girly. Rugged, and cool, and interesting. Hence, I am in love with this Mini Luxe purse from English Retreads. I love recycled rubber. I even have a big bag of bicycle tires just waiting to be used for some awesome product. But I don't think I have the skills to make anythign as cool as the stuff at English Retreads.

Maybe, just maybe, I'll win it at Everything Up Close. If not, it's going on my gift wish list.

SKUUT balance bike giveaway!

We saw a kid in the park riding this awesome wooden bike and had to stop his mom and ask about it -- that's how we first discovered the SKUUT. First, I just love the idea of a wooden bike, and this bike is so cute and makes so much sense. Instead of using a bike with training wheels, kids can learn to balance on the Skuut, by first "skuuting," then coasting. This makes it simple to transition to a regular bike!

Go to As They Grow Up to enter to win a SKUUT!
