Summer Giveaway!

As promised I am doing a giveaway in honor of 700 posts and because school is out in like, 4 days. Amen! I had all these grand plans for one of the baskets and life is just too busy to craft. Heck, I can barely find time to bathe... Anyway. Enter by leaving a comment indicating which basket you want. I'll devise a way to choose a winner and let you know via email if you've won. I'm starting the giveaway now and ending it whenever I darn well please. Or in other words- whenever I, A) remember and B) have time. I have two baskets to gift. One is a daytime fun basket- sidewalk chalk, water guns, water balloons, bubbles, and freezer pops. The other is a s'mores basket- s'mores forks, hershey bars, marshmallows, and graham crackers. If you want to enter both let me know or if you only want to try your luck at one please indicate. Ready. Set. Enter.

Holy Cow! 700 posts?!

Oh crap! My life is INSANE lately. I cannot stress that enough. Jon started a second full time job on Monday and I have been playing single parent and it is HARD. He's been working 6am til about 8pm every night. My kids are driving me nuts- mainly my daughter and my baby. Chloe is just a giant teenage drama queen. Camden is so spoiled that not having his mommy to himself like normal has turned him into a ginormous cry baby. He has fussed so much this week that he is hoarse. Blah! My other kids, on the other hand, are being complete angels.
Anyway, I did want too acknowledge my 700th post! I cannot believe I was able to talk/type that much interesting (I hope) stuff. I am doing an awesome giveaway to kick off Summer. I am crossing my fingers that by tomorrow morning I'll have it ready to present.... I sure hope you've enjoyed reading all about my life- kids, husbands, babies, teenagers, periods and poop to name a few highlights! Now, I'm off to get kids from school and take Chan to his physical therapy appointment. Oh and Cam's out of baby food and I need to go to the DMV and I have to make cupcakes and buy a gift, and.... you get the point.
THANKS for reading! I love y'all to bits! Keep checking for my giveaway, it'll be on here before the goodies are obsolete, I hope.

Winners!!

So, I forgot about the drawing, oops! Should have already done this yesterday.... But, in my defense I left for Austin at 9 o'clock and got home after 11 last night, yikes!! I will be blogging about it all later, since I know you are dying to find out about my day... Anyway- I finally got around to doing the drawing and the winners are:

Vanessa


Sarah


Amanda

So, shoot me an email with your address and I will get them sent out tomorrow. Congrats!

FREE Chocolate!!

Awhile back I blogged about my love of the new Chex Mix Bars, maybe you remember? Well, imagine my surprise when I was contacted by this chick who does PR for Chex and she offered me 3 free boxes of Chex Mix turtle flavor bars to give away! Yeah, I'll take those. As a bonus I got my very own box. So, I am doing every one's favorite: a no-strings attached GIVEAWAY! Three of my lovely readers will win their very own box, to eat, share, save, or whatever you feel like doing with them.... Personally, I eat them when I am craving a candy bar. I also give them to the kids as a snack either after school or to take to school. Plus, they have WHOLE GRAINS! So, what are you waiting for? Hurry! Enter, as often as you'd like. I will pick a winner sometime Sunday. So, you have til Sunday morning. Winner will be notified via a blog post and an email from moi! Good luck!

**CONGRATS**

To Shannon and Cheree! You two lovely ladies are the winners of my candle giveaway!! Thanks for reading and entering!! YAY!

Happy Birthday Dear Blog and Congrats on 400 Posts Giveaway!!!

Oh my goodness, what a crazy year in the world of blogging!! Not only is it 1 YEAR ago today that I started my blog, but I just happened to hit 400 POSTS today! That is alot of blogging. WOW! It has been a ton of fun. I have met lots of cool chicks who also blog, taken lots of fun pics, and have had fun pretending to be a "writer". I have also had my share of drama, like days when no one comments, BOO! Or, when pictures won't load or the internet goes down. But, it has been a blast! I have especially had fun changing headers almost as often as I change my undies, only kidding. I have really enjoyed my blog and hope those of you that read it have enjoyed it as well. I can't even imagine what it would be like without logging in each day to post or read my comments! Anyway, I'll shut up and now and announce what my giveaway is to celebrate my "blog birthday"!!

I found these adorable candles, I have mentioned them on here before. They are a brand called For Everybody Candles and these are especially fitting: Tiny Temptations in Cherry Chip and Happy Birthday Vanilla. To be entered in my drawing, just add your name in comments as MANY TIMES as you want. I'll have my handsome hubby pick two numbers and voila, we will have two winners. I am giving away 1 candle to 2 lucky winners, and sorry but no you can't select the kind you want. If, however the two chosen winners want different scents, then the problem will have solved itself! So, comment away. You have until next Wednesday, September 3rd. Good luck!
