Come Shopping

In addition to all the personal shopping we did in Michigan, Melissa and I picked up a few things for you as well. We’ve launched an Etsy store called Mighty Goods Finds with all the awesome finds we’d have squirreled away if only we had endless space.

I’ve been daydreaming about doing little travel stores ever since we came back from Argentina last year with a suitcase full of amazing stuff. So if this ends up being as much fun as I think it’ll be, maybe you’ll see a little shop pop up every time the editors travel.

We’ll be posting something new every day until we run out of goods, so go have a look and see if there’s a good gift for someone on your list.

Kid’s Stuff

It’s ready! So, here’s the big news:

Today, we’re launching a sister site to Mighty Goods called Mighty Junior. It’s a shopping site dedicated to good stuff for kids and the people who love them. It is also wicked awesome, and I almost can’t believe it’s finally happening.

Melissa Summers, who some of you may already know from Suburban Bliss, is the new site editor, and we couldn’t be luckier. I’m so pleased to be working with her, not only because she has great taste and a mean sense of humor, but also because she’s one of the people who makes my life more fun.

So, go look! And let us know what you think.

Secret Stuff, Awesome Stuff

You guys. Good stuff is happening for Mighty Mighty Media, otherwise known as the Publishing Empire Run from Our Living Room Couch. We’re making something new — exciting and new! — and next week I’m totally going to show you what it is. You cannot even wait.

In the meantime, Mighty Goods has been nominated for a Blogger’s Choice Award for Best Shopping Blog. (Woot!) Will you please go vote to help Mighty Goods reign supreme? There’s only one day of voting left, but it appears that we still have a shot at it.

Mighty Girl was nominated for Best Blog About Stuff, Best Humor Blog, and (awkwardly) Hottest Mommy Blogger. I’ve gotten exactly two votes for yummy mummy, but I am sure this is only because I didn’t actually post photos of my muffin top after just barely fitting into my pre-preggo jeans. Heather Armstrong is among those in the lead for Hot Mama, and I encourage you to vote for her. Because? Her cheek bones could cut glass. And? I’d like to mock her.

Also, it’s really nice to be nominated for stuff like this. Thanks you guys.
