Darling Personal Calling Cards for Free!

So the girls at girls night tonight convinced me that I had to share my brand new business cards with you all. www.vistaprint.com is offering 250 cards in a variety of cute designs for FREE - all you pay is shipping. I chose this one and am getting rave reviews so far! So much more stylish than a scribbled phone number on a napkin at the park! What a fun gift for a new mom!

Surf Divas

With all of our rain and yucky weather as of late I've been dreaming of warm weather vacations. My dear friend KG just took off for Parrot Cay and it made me think of one of my all time favorite Girls Vacations - our Surf Diva weekend in La Jolla. The idea for this came during our annual Girls Weekend three years ago when the ever organized TB pulled her "list of things she wants to do before she dies" out of her wallet at dinner (for those who don't have such a list, I highly recommend starting one). Then and there we decided that there wasn't going to be a better time to try our surfing skills so off to San Diego we went. Surf Diva is the perfect girls weekend...we laughed, we sunned and we got some great pictures of us with surf boards! Most of all we were able to cross something off the list of things we wanted to try and now have actually done. Next up Oprah tickets and writing a book! www.surfdiva.com

Darling Decor for Kids

My girlfriend EH found Litsy Designs at the Junior League boutique in Raleigh and has been raving about them ever since. Once you visit their website (www.litsydesigns.com) you will see why! They offer colorful, hand-painted canvases and wooden name plaques designed especially for nurseries, children's rooms, playrooms and bathrooms.

Life Coaching for Real Life

My darling friend SH introduced me to life coaching years ago when we lived in Seattle. I was fortunate enough to engage a coach myself two summers ago and am now a believer in the process! My old coach, Jolie Steers is currently offering a phenomenal deal as part of an R & D Project she has going on.

Clients will recieve all the benefits and services that Jolie offers her full-fee clients in exchange for their permission to record their coaching sessions, a 4 month commitment and completion of a coaching evaluation at the end of the 4 months. The special rate for these R & D clients is $75 a month for 3 sessions.

The great thing about Jolie is that all sessions are done over the phone so it's super convenient and can be done from just about anywhere. As usual, I did mine via headset while driving in the car! :)

For more information, Jolie can be reached at 425-802-7021

Great Grosgrain

As most of you know I love anything striped and all things grosgrain so when I saw these darling dayplanners from www.trulymom.com that had striped grosgrain ribbon as the primary feature I fell in love. They have adorable stationery as well and best of all the company was started by four young moms with a great story! They are also offering 10% off on purchases with the code "treehouse" at checkout.

Flower Power

One of my dearest and hippest friends LM introduced me to the only flower shop I use anymore. www.bbrooks.com promises incredibly special, unique flowers in cities through the country which works out perfectly should you want to send an arrangment to friends in Newport, Nantucket or Nashville or anywhere in between.

Shoes!

Who doesn't love shoes? Ann Roth Shoes just makes our attempts at wearing what we have before buying more that much harder. Check out the darling espadrilles in her Resort 2007 collection at www.annrothshoes.com

She was also sweet enough to offer $25 off any order with the code "25dollars" at checkout!
