Pout Giveaway! / Saturday, October 15

When it came time to find sponsors for 365, my thoughts turned to people I know. 

Folks with whom I have a personal relationship.

People I want to see succeed like there's no tomorrow.

Whose products and services make me proud to say, "I KNOW THEM!"

When I started to think about it, Kris Noonan and her store, Pout Baby Boutique came to mind right away. 

One of my favorite people, Kris stocks her store with colorful, sturdy baby and kid pieces from size nuthin' to 8. 

Stuff you're not going to see on every kid at school. 

No Chez Target or Penney's look-alikes here, folks!

Kris and Pout have been kind enough to donate a gift certificate to 365. 

For FIFTY dollars, y'all. 

That's nothing to sneeze at. 

Let me show you what's available over at the store. 

(If you're already in love with Kris and Pout, you can scroll to the bottom to find out how to enter.)

First off, let me tell you that entire store makes me wish I was smaller. 

But then I couldn't see over a steering wheel. 

Maybe I need to rethink that. 

Let's start at the chapeaus, shall we? 

Damn my big-ass Gilligan head.

I SO need a smiley-face knit hat with those hangy-thingy-puff-balls.

There are more bottles and nursing products than you can shake a stick at.

Or do we call it breast-feeding these days?

 And Onesie-type garments that make me shudder at the thought of what I put MY kid in 20 years ago.

In comparison, I may have well as clothed the boy child in flour-sack towels.

Wait. 

There was one day where that may have actually happened. 

Remind me to make sure he tells his shrink.

You know.

When he gets one.

You know what we didn't have when Mike was a baby?

AWESOME swaddling blankets.

At least, I think it's called swaddling.

I dunno.

We just called it, "burrito baby time!"

Check out these colors. 

I SWEAR to you, the more time I spend looking at Pout's awesome stuff, the more I start to believe Mike was a baby before color was invented.

I wish they made these in my size.

I'm pretty sure I need one.

I'll tell you what I'd choose if I won. 

Remember Raggedy? 

A blanket just like her. 

One that would be drug around for years to come.

And provide comfort at every turn. 

Then I'd give it to someone size-appropriate.

(You're lucky I disqualified myself.)

As you can imagine, Pout has just the thing.

Isn't she beautiful?

BeeTeeDbus, there were three colors of that blankie. 

So. 

How will YOU spend $50 at Pout?
