When we were pulling together gifts for the Mighty Summit, we set a few aside to give away. Here’s what’s up for grabs today:
Large Natural Zip Top Canvas Tote Bag by Lands End
I had no idea how useful these were until I had one. Sturdy, preppy delicious, and just the right size for a weekend away. Yours will not say “Sarah” on the front, but it will have the same trim.
I bought a pair of these genius travel shoes a while back, and they’re one of my favorite things. Tieks fold in half so you can stuff them in your purse, and the quality is amazing. They come in all sorts of candy colors and metallics — plus they pack flat and slip off easily when you’re heading through airport security. The winner gets to choose any pair for $135 and under.
Bamboo Dahlia Necklace By Feisty Elle
You know that girl who always looks so cool, and you can never pinpoint what it is about her? Good jewelry. Dahlias are my favorite flower, and designer Leslie Yang made a silver version of this necklace for Summit attendees.
Neoprene Laptop Case from Mixed Bag
Now you can drop your laptop more stylishly than before.
Tattly makes temporary tattoos that don’t suck. We’ve talked about these before, and they’ve come out with a few new designs since. Instant toughness boost for the nerd corps.
A one-year subscription to Typekit, the service that lets you use a variety of fonts on your site without having to serve them as images. Have you noticed the Web has been looking prettier lately? Thank these guys.
Gretchen Rubin was one of our Mighty Summit attendees this year, and she brought along her New York Times Bestselling book, which is about her year-long experiment in making her life happier. I love this idea, and this book.
The Quintet Necklace by Lemonade Handmade
I’ve mentioned this necklace before, we give one to each of the attendees to symbolize the five Life List goals they hope to accomplish in the coming year. I love the necklace for its simplicity, and I like the idea of five golden rings being little commitments to yourself. I wear mine most days until I’ve crossed everything off for the year.
And that’s it for today. Pretty good, huh? To enter please leave a comment about something on your Life List, contest closes next Thursday night at midnight PST. Helen Jane and Laura at The Queso are doing giveaways as well, so head over there for two more chances to win.
Now for the fine print: Please only leave one comment here, because it’s the nice thing to do, and also because multiple entries on Mighty Girl will be disqualified. I’ll use random.org to select the winner, and I’ll announce who won at the top of this post and in a separate post next Friday. Offer eligible only to U.S. and Canada.








Wow. I totally want to go to the Mighty Conference now! How amazing is that.
My last of 3 life goals left to make happen is to sing live with the Indigo Girls. How can I make that happen?!

I looked at my life list and realized I need to add less far off things, things that require the kids to be a little more grown up. Then I got to thinking why my list is that way, am I content or just so occupied I think there is no time for me yet? My most attainable goal on the list was to buy red shoes and I am still searching. Why am I so slow to achieve that mundane task? If I win this I know what color shoes I will select! 🙂

Current and most pressing life list item is the Tough Mudder in Florida. This means feet to the pavement and running for the first time in my adult life. It seems to help with all other life list items when one is physically strong and feeling in full woman warrior mode. Lovely round-up of items, ideas and inspiration, as always.

Learn to play and sing one song on my acoustic guitar. I purchased this beautiful instrument several years ago under the watchful eye of my very musical father (I inherited none of his musical talent), and after a couple of false starts of learning to play it has sat sad and lonely in the corner of my dining room. With everthing going on in my life, learning to play for real is too ambitious, but learning one song, just one song, is going to happen.
