HAPPY 200th and a GIVEAWAY!!!

I never thought when I started this little bloggy poo that I would actually have 200 posts. Besides my kiddos and hubby, what more could I share with you (and I know some of you get tired of my kiddos so get your own blog and then you won't have to worry about if you're gonna have to read about A#1, 2 or 3). I have enjoyed this adventure so much. If you know me, you know that I worry too much about what others think and I have had to let some of that go. When you put it all out there, you are opening yourself up to strangers and friends and family. Some things I have shared that might have been difficult for me to share face to face. I really started this blog as a way of our distant family being able to keep up with us and as a way to journal our lives. It's very cool to look back on past posts and reflect on what we've done this past year or so. I want to say thank you to all of you that are regular readers and especially to those that leave such awesome comments. To all of you lurkers, come out of hiding and let us know who you are. We would love to know who's there.

So since it's the big 200, I have a giveaway!!!!! I have been busy making some new little goodies that have brightened my day every time I have put one on. Leave a comment, you DO NOT have to have a blog to do so, and I will enter you in a drawing. If you do have a blog, mention this giveaway and you will be entered 2x. I will close the giveaway on Thursday at 7 pm. One of the 3 A's will be picking the winner. Wanna know what you will win? Here it is...

A sweet little flower pin to wear. You can pick from several colors. I have white, hot pink, baby pink, baby blue, turquoise blue, brown, red, lime green (my fave), purple and even Hokie burgundy and orange. You may pick any combo you like. For example, the one above is hot pink, bay pink and white. I made myself one to wear to LU that is red and white, adorable!! Go ahead, leave your comment and pass it along. Thanks for your love and support!!

Our first blog

Well I am going to finally stop stalking everyone else's blog (yeah right) and make up our own. I am very excited and hope that I will enjoy our own as much as I enjoy everyone's. It will take me awhile to get in the routine I'm sure but knowing me, I will be addicted before long and you will be sick of me. Have a blessed day!!!!!
