Vintage Baby Dress Giveaway

As November comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to thank you, dear readers, for contributing to this little space of mine. Blogging has become more than a way for me to document my life, it has become a space to share stories, and create friendships with other like-minded people, and for that, I will always be grateful.

I recently found this vintage dress. I instantly fell in love with it, and knew I had to buy it to give as a gift. I decided to do a giveaway here on the blog, my way to say thanks for stopping by.

The dress is in really good condition, and since there are no tags, I estimate it to be a size of 6 months.

Entering is simple. Leave me a comment with what you are most thankful for this holiday season, and I will pick a winner at random next Wednesday.

*This giveaway is only open to my North American readers.

This giveaway is now closed.

BonLook Giveaway

Giveaway closed.

I love BonLook glasses. I have been a fan for a while, but just recently ordered my first pair, and it was very difficult to choose! After virtually trying on many pairs, I ultimately decided on Jungle Chic in Tortoise Cognac.

I adore these glasses, and they were exactly what I needed to update my look. They are stylish & comfortable, and were a cinch to order. With free shipping on orders over $99, you really can’t go wrong!

BonLook has just released their Fall Collection, and you should check out all of the AMAZING styles!

Amelia decided she needed to help model my new glasses, too.

BonLook is offering one of my readers a $50 gift certificate!

All you have to do is:

1. Visit BonLook and sign up for their newsletter/email list. You will automatically receive a $10 discount valid though fall.

2. You must be 18 years or older.

3. Leave a comment below, and share you favorite style(s).

I will choose a winner at random this Saturday, and announce it here. Please leave your comment by midnight this Friday, September 7th.

Good Luck!

*Tumblr readers, please leave your comment in the comment section, not in the Tumblr notes section.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Sorry it’s been so quiet around here the last few days. I have been busy packing away Christmas, cleaning and organizing the house, making to-do lists, and getting Amelia in to her normal routine. She went back to preschool today. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am pooped. I feel like staying in my jammies on the couch all day, but as any of you mothers know, that is not an option. So, I drink a little more caffeine, and away I go.

We took the girls to Busch Gardens on Sunday. It was a beautiful warm day, and it was nice to be outside with the sun on our faces.

You wouldn’t believe how friendly flamingos are!

I am putting together a special giveaway for next month, my 3 year blogiversary!

I am also working on a few posts for later in the week. I am behind on my letters post, and will be doing The Letters K, L, & M this week, and a post on baby proofing your home. I have been feverishly working on this, as Maggie will be crawling any day now.

Hope your new year is off to a good start!

We’ve just returned from our Orlando Weekend of Fun, and oh what fun we had! Here is Amelia at Sea World hanging with a couple of her close friends. I’ll be posting more photos from this weekend, tomorrow.

Today is the last day to enter the Modern Mommy Holiday Giveaway. Leave a comment here telling me what your favorite holiday tradition is to be entered. I will announce the winners tomorrow.

Finally got some presents wrapped and under the tree. I still can’t believe Christmas is only 2.5 weeks away! I feel like I am running up hill trying to get everything done!

I posted a Holiday Giveaway right before The Great Tumblr Fail of 2010 happened, so chances are most of you missed it. I have decided to extend the giveaway through the weekend, and I’ll pick two winners on Monday, December 13th.

You must comment on the original post to be entered, and you can do that here.

It’s a great giveaway with two winners who will each receive a piece of Vera Bradley & Brighton jewelry. To be entered, just leave a comment here telling me what your favorite holiday tradition is. Easy.

*There are a couple of other ways you can receive entries, too. Just go and read the original post for more information.

Good Luck!!!

My Little Elves

Here are my sweet girls in their Christmas jammies tonight.

It’s a good thing Maggie can’t crawl yet, or there’d be no ornaments on the bottom of our tree.

Amelia looks a little crazy in this photo which is why I chose it. I think we all get a little crazy this time of year!

I know my little blog has been quiet the last couple of days. We’ve been in full holiday mode; decorating, addressing Christmas cards, and planning a weekend holiday getaway to Orlando. I am working on a couple of fun blog posts: a Christmas vinyl post, The Letter J post, and I’ll be announcing an exciting giveaway this week, too. So stay tuned, much more to come!!
