December 19, 2012

I had plans to host a week of giveaways this week as a thank you for all the kindness, advice and encouragement that so many of you have shared with me throughout the year. It didn’t feel right on Monday, or yesterday and if I’m being honest, I’m not sure when, if ever, it will feel like I can casually get back to normal light hearted posts when everything feels insignificant right now.

But the more I thought about it, the more I felt like I should go ahead with this. I felt like it would be nice to send a tiny bit of good news to a few folks after such a dark week for our country.

This week, several of my favorite products and brands have jumped on board to spread a little holiday spirit with my readers. I’m squeezing five days worth of goodies into the next three days so there will be several giveaway each day.

Thank you, readers, for stopping in on this little page of mine. Thanks for making me laugh and sending me such fantastic recommendations, ideas and guidance as I navigate this crazy adventure called motherhood . Thanks for making the journey alongside me.  I wish you all a very happy, healthy, safe holiday season. I’m so excited to send some of my favorite things your way this week. Good luck!

  3. andgatherhoney said: My heart has been entirely too heavy since Friday as well. It comforts me to see all of the love pouring out of your & every other mother’s blog I follow though. I’m trying to remind myself that there is a lot more good than bad in this world.
  4. littlesweetspots said: I too am having difficulty writing anything of joy. Yet I also think your giveaway is a very good, and needed, idea. I won’t be participating since we live in France, but I did want to pop in a comment to encourage you xo Karen

A mama. A daddy. And two preschoolers to keep us on our toes.

We like Sundays, pretending to be a family jam band and bedsheet tents. We believe in love, family and a good pair of cowboy boots.

Brent sings songs. I write words. And these sweet babies make our world go round.

Welcome.
