HELLO! THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THE LUCKY WINNER (CHOSEN VIA THE RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR) WAS:

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED!

Friends….have you missed me?? I’ve sure missed you! Dottie and I are have been busy as can be, but we’ve had a Modern Kiddo Summit and are getting ready to come back better than ever. But in the mean time we have a little special something for ya.

Can we talk about coffee? Ahhh. I just love it. It’s how I start my day…and it’s how I give myself a little pick me up in the afternoon.  I love a classic cuppa joe with a splash of cream. I love iced coffee. And I admit, I do love a lil flavored coffee every now and then. The only problem in our house? I’m the only coffee drinker! So rather than brew up a giant pot all for my lonesome, I tend to shell out way too much cashola at the cafe. What’s a coffee loving girl to do? Enter….Keurig!



When the kind folks at Keurig offered to let me try one of their Keurig Special Edition brewing systems, I was extremely curious. Friends, it’s pretty amazing. It’s super easy to use and brews you a lovely cup of coffee in less than 60 seconds. Yes….60 seconds! The coffee was hot, strong and very tasty. You just pop a lil K-Cup pod into the machine and hit a button. Easy peasy! There are three settings too….small cup (perfect for vintage coffee cups!), medium cup and large (when only a big ol Orla Kiely size mug will do!).
With the Keurig you can also brew tea and hot cocoa….AND if you are super particular about your coffee, you can even get a My K-Cup which allows you to use your own schmancy coffee. Sweet! (I’m looking at you, Blue Bottle….)
Oh how I wish I had one of these when I was a new mama! It’s so crazy convenient—perfect for those early mornings (or late nights). I’m thinking this may be my new go-to gift for preggo friends or busy mamas. I’m having so much fun with it, I wanted to give one away to YOU!

Hi hi hi! Happy Friday friends! Today we have a totally rad giveaway coming to you from our super sweet pal Anita and her fella Sam Means. This enterprising duo recently started Hi for Kids as a companion to their already successful company Hello Merch. Some of you may recognize their adorable daughter Lola as a Weekly Kiddo last year! (And music fans might recognize papa Sam from the cool band The Format.)

This super creative couple started Hi by Hello after stylish mama Anita kept wishing she could find cool-and-comfy clothing for their daughter Lola Birdie. The line features hip lil’ leggings and tees with groovy designs that are perfect for girls OR boys!

OK, so now that you’re loving this adorable line as much as we do, let me make you even happier by saying that Hi for Kids has generously offered a $50 Gift Certificate for Modern Kiddo to give away! Whoo hoo! Whatever will you buy if you win?? Hmmm. Here are some ideas! Right now we’re totally loving:
These are so cute—I especially love the lightning bolts. Each cape comes with a mask and would make an awesome holiday gift!

2. MATCHING DADDY & ME (OR MOMMY & ME) PULLOVERS!
This is an adorable idea for grandma to get for your little one—a sweet “HI!” pullover and a matching “HELLO!” one for mama or daddy! The shirts are SUPER soft and cuddly.

These are my two favorites—they’d look cool as comfy leggings with a tee or the pullover OR paired with a cute dress on a lil girlie.


OK, so let’s get to it. To enter to win the $50 Gift Certificate :
Simply leave your name and email address in a comment below, along with which two items you think you’d choose from their shop. The winner will be chosen at random. (Don’t worry you can always change your mind about which items you’d like!)
