Tim’s birthday was a few weeks ago. Darah’s birthday was yesterday. My birthday is in a few weeks. We are birthday maniacs this time of year! You can imagine that by the time my birthday rolls around, the usual things like cake and ice cream or even going out to dinner just aren’t as appealing. Been there, done that. TWICE.
So, in the spirit of switching it up as we head towards my special day, I thought I’d do something special for my readers and offer a giveaway.
Ok, you’re right. I do that pretty much every day. But THIS one is in honor of your hostess with the mostess.
I picked out something super fabulous for one lucky reader. It’s one of many fabulous dresses from Shabby Apple and it’s what I would wear to my 31st birthday party if I were to have one (and let’s be real, I’m going to spend that day playing with building blocks, writing blog posts and cleaning dried yogurt off the table, just like any other day; such is the life of a work-at-home parent!).
Anyway, back to that dress. Wanna see it? It just screams, “Summer isn’t over yet, people! Keep the party going a few weeks more!”
Super cute, right?! I KNOW!!!! Shabby Apple simply has the best selection of women’s dresses I’ve ever seen. They are this fabulous intersection of modern and vintage. They are always elegant, understated, but also unforgettable. They rock! If you see anything on the site you like, right now you can score 10% off by using the discount code stuffparentsneed10off. Yay!
And now it’s time for one of you to rock this dress!
Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win the Lighthouse dress shown above in any available size (ARV $89.00!). The contest will run until August 18th at 11:49pm EST when a winner will be selected via Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to winning notification before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Open to residents of the United States. Limit one entrant per household, please.
Mandatory entry: Give me the greatest birthday gift of all: subscribe to my blog via RSS or email! Just leave a comment letting me know that you already subscribe or just subscribed and that will be your first entry!

Thanks for this chance. I absolutely fell in love with Shabby Apple when I found them a few months ago. I can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on clothes for me but I enter every giveaway I can find. Lol. No luck yet, fingers crossed.

Y’all sound birthday busy like us at this time of year. All in August- birthdays: hubby, mine, mother in law, uncle, uncle in law, and my anniversary. That’s not counting the months surrounding this one which are also full. Hubby and I have a crazy week in August though. His b’day is the 5th, our anniversary the 10th, and my b’day the 11th. Lol.

Thanks for the chance.
