Celebrating my Blogiversary with My Day Registry

Have you ever wanted to find an original gift for a certain someone who has everything? I’m sure we all have someone like that in our lives — I have several! I am always scrounging to find something new and different to give the ones who can really buy anything they want – or those who just aren’t really into stuff. (I can’t imagine that – ha!)

I recently discovered My Day Registry, and I think this is such a fun idea and the perfect gift for someone in your life who has everything or can buy anything they want. You basically dedicate a special day to someone, and that day becomes officially recognized as their own. Every owner’s title and ownership rights are recorded in the official International Day Registry database—the only registry of its kind. Then you get a snazzy framed certificate to give as a gift to your special someone.

My Day Registry offered me my own day in the Registry.

I thought it would be fun to register my 6th “Blogiversary,” which just came and went without much ado on March 25th. (As an aside, I cannot believe I’ve been blogging here for six years. Does anyone remember my first post!??)

All you do is enter your special day in the search box to see if it’s available. You can then choose from three packages to register your day by state, country, or worldwide.

Every registered day comes with a beautifully framed certificate as proof of ownership rights. You’ll also receive an online profile that can be personalized with music, photos, video, and details about that special day for sharing with family and friends.

How fun is that!? I can’t wait to receive my framed certificate from My Day Registry. It will be the perfect addition to my office!

UPDATE: For my fellow bloggers, mention my name and join My Day Registry’s affiliate program, and you’ll receive a $10 bonus with your first posting of a My Day Registry banner.

And for my readers, you may receive a special 10% discount with coupon code: MUSH10 (expires 6/1/12).

Mom Style | What I Wore This Week 05.16.12

Let me just remind you that this is May. Cause you’ll never believe it by looking at my outfits this week.

Last Wednesday I attended a Mom’s Night Out event hosted by Main Line Parent. The dress code was cocktail attire, so I pulled out my favorite dress. This is the first time I’ve work it without black tights. I was a little bit self conscious, but I got a ton of compliments so I guessed it works!

Because the dress is so busy, I usually go light on the jewelry. I wore silver chandelier earrings from Stella & Dot and doubled up on my bracelets for a chunkier look. Those shoes are old favorites by Boutique 9.

Thursday was mostly errands and working from home. Purple tank (old) with gray cardi (Gap Outlet) and straight-leg jeans (Sevens) with Silpada necklace and bracelet and silver flips from Banana.

On Friday, I got up at 5:30 and was at the gym by 6:45 for a training appointment. I figure any day I get up and work out before 7 am I deserve to wear workout gear all day. I was even wearing it when our neighbors stopped over for drinks after dinner. Clearly I have no shame.

This was Mother’s Day. You’ve seen it all before — ruffle trim tie-dye top and coral cardi from Banana, white cropped skinnies from Gap, necklace and earrings from Stella & Dot and the wedge sandals are Stuart Weitzmans (which I scored on a super duper sale at 6pm.com.) I love this outfit. You will be seeing a lot more of it.

And then the rains came.

It was a dreary day on Monday when we drove to NYC for a live recording of The Talk. I was in a rush when I left the house so I meant to grab a photo of my outfit when I was in NYC, but I never thought about it again. I basically wore a version of this outfit that I posted last week. Except I wore my darker skinny jeans and black pointy-toe flats.

And Tuesday’s picture could be alternately titled: Mama Needs Rain Boots. Yes, I wore my leather knee-high boots on May 15th. It was raining cats and dogs. What can I say, I didn’t want wet feet, and I had to take my daughter to swim lessons and run some errands. I also didn’t bother to wash or style my hair. Again with the cats and dogs. I figured, what’s the point?

If you’re wondering what’s up with the sunglasses, long about 2:00, it suddenly got sunny and warm. Fortunately I had my sunglasses in my purse. As soon as I got home, it was off with the boots and the sweater.

And that’s a wrap.

First CSA Pick-Up :: Name That Vegetable

Today was our first CSA* pickup. We are new to the CSA, and I have to admit, I am a bit overwhelmed. This is a HALF SHARE, believe it or not! I'm SO glad we decided to split our CSA share with a neighbor. I'm impressed with the quality of the produce, and it's all organic. WOOT! But now I have to figure out what to DO with it all. Anyone have … [Continue reading...]

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

Mom Style | What I Wore This Week 05.09.12

I think May is confused. This is not March. Nor is it April. Nor is it October. It is MAY. You know, the month of sunshine and 72 degrees? The month of low humidity and butterflies and azalea blossoms? MAY. I wish Mother Nature would get it straight already. Maybe I should just move. Anyone in San Diego got a room to let? ANYWHO. Here we … [Continue reading...]
