One Year.


It has officially been a full 365 days since I started this little ole blog.

I started a blog as a way of chronicling life with three kids, not expecting to end up with a scrapbook of sorts, but also with new ideas and interests, new inspiration, and new friends.

I love this blog.

It's a little sad to look back at photos from last year when my baby girl looked like an actual baby...


...while today she's in full-fledged toddlerhood.


Crazy.

I think the only decent thing to do in honor of a blogiversary is to have a give-away, of course!


What do you want? A flower t-shirt? A tie shirt for a boy? A monogrammed tee? A custom tank top? A onesie and matching burp cloth? Your wish is my command! Whatever you choose, I'll throw in a clippie to match. (And if you have a little boy...well...I'll think of something.)

Here are four ways to enter (please leave a separate comment for each):

1. Leave a comment telling me what you would like to win.
2. Follow this blog and leave a comment telling me you do.
3. Follow me on Twitter and leave me a comment telling me you do.
4. Visit my etsy shop and leave me a comment telling me your favorite clip style.

Celebrate with me! I'll choose a winner sometime after 5PM (Cali time) on Wednesday.

And thanks for visiting this year, friends. It's been great getting to know you.

Now on to Year Two....

I see a clip of the Hannah Bee shirt!!

I am not entering and it's not because I wouldn't kill for more of your goodies!! Only because I want to make sure someone else gets to see how gorgeous and creative your work is up-close and in person like I did...

Amy said...

Congrats on a whole year of blogging. I have no idea how I stumbled across your blog, but I'm glad I did.

I think My Girl may be too big for your lovely creations (she's 11), so I don't think I can/should win.

Thanks for sharing your lovely family and your talents with us fellow bloggers.

You are one of my very very favorite blogs. I am convinced we would be besties if we actually knew each other. Does that make me sound stalkerish? Man, I hope not! I would love a flower shirt!

jen christians said...

I would love a flower tee!

Congrats on your first year of blogging my friend. And I am so happy to be able to call you my friend! I agree, blogging has become so much more than I ever intended it to be. And I am grateful everyday for the reward of new friends LIKE YOU!

Paging Doctor Mommy said...

We need to plan a way to meet IRL... Reagan and Avery would be too stinkin' cute playing together!

Paging Doctor Mommy said...

I Heart Your Blog! I Follow Your Blog!

Paging Doctor Mommy said...

And I follow on Twitter too!

Kristina P. said...

Happy anniversary! I would love the little tie shirt for my friend!

Paging Doctor Mommy said...

I can't get the Esty link to work... what am I doing wrong? How can I find you on Etsy? I want to see all your stuff... I may just have to order something regardless of winning anything!

Paging Doctor Mommy said...

Yes ma'am it works now! I love the blue hawaii and the Springtime flower.

Do you also have an etsy shop with some of your clothing creations? If not... you need to!

PamperingBeki said...

Yay! Congrats to you!!

I'd want a flower tee for my girl OR a tie tee for my boy(s).

TrueLoveIsaMama said...

Congratulations! That is no easy job! I miss writing in my blog, but until I get a laptop, I think it will still have to be on hold! But I do still find the time to read a few! I instantly loved your blog because I felt it keeps me up to date on the doings of my nephews and niece! Love it! Keep up the good work!

Hooray! It looks like a fabulous day to visit your blog. Although, do I really need to leave more than six comments in order to edge out Tiffany from the competition?

3 Bay B Chicks said...

Let it be known that I am competitive and I play to win.

HA!

Let's get started, what was the first thing I am supposed to do?

PS: I loved reading that you love your blog. That's wonderful. I can take or leave ours somedays. Maybe you could manage both yours and TBBC.

3 Bay B Chicks said...

Oh, I remember now. I love anything you make.

Can I get a quilt? Bigger is better.

If not a quilt, how about a shirt in a "big girl size"? Like a really big girl, like me.

And you must know that I would follow you to the ends of the earth. I follow your blog, I follow you on Twitter, I even managed to find a picture of you holding rice krispy treats with a marshmallow peace symbol in my photo album over the weekend.

Does that last one get me an extra contest entry?

Because it should.

peewee said...

WHat do I get if I follow you in real life?

peewee said...

CUz I'd like a beach bag, with my initials, in polka dots. That's "KK."

peewee said...

If I follow you around in the grocery store, on foot, I think I should get a matching make-up bag. Because that's like more work than, say, just driving around your block.

elle said...

I follow your blog! I LOVE it!

peewee said...

Are you thinking "ummm.."..maybe I shouldn't do 'following' giveaways?" Like MAYBE you underestimated how much people want your goods?

peewee said...

I didn't mean "GOODS" goods....

K, I'll stop. did I win?

Definitely, Maybe... said...

Ok im totally giggling with your followers and their funny comments! It sounds like you have fun friends! Congratulations on a whole year of awsome pictures and blogging!

And since you're offering...I love your cute flower shirts!

Valerie aka Mamalovelock said...

Valerie aka Mamalovelock said...

I follow you on twitter!!

Valerie aka Mamalovelock said...

I love the cupcake clip and the birdie is cute too. I can't decide, they are all so cute!!

Lyndsey said...

Sara @ Domestically Challenged said...

I want a boy tie shirt! Asher would look like such a man in it! You are so darn talented!

Sara @ Domestically Challenged said...

Millennium Housewife said...

SoBella Creations said...

I think I would chose the monogram tee.

SoBella Creations said...

I like the pretty posy clip.

Wendi said...

Love your blog, and love all of your creations! Ur the best!

Bek said...

I always look forward to your new posts! Your girly t-shirts are adorable! Someday I'll get productive and try that... :) Until then, maybe I'll win one. ;)

Rebekah

Beth said...

Oh, how can one decide...your creations are all so cute! I would probably pick the monogrammed shirt, or the tie onesie.

Beth said...

I am a follower :-)

Beth said...

I don't twitter, but if I did I would follow you...does that count? I also don't text message. I'm such a rebel.

Beth said...

They're all cute, but I think the strawberry is my fave.

3 Bay B Chicks said...

Here I am again. Comment # 42. 42 just feels like a lucky number, doesn't it?

I about died laughing when I read that PeeWee was going to follow you in real life. It is such a good idea, in fact, that I am going to steal it. What time should I be at your house today?

I'm even willing to let my son walk Lucy for you cause that is the level of commitment that I bring to the table.

3 Bay B Chicks said...

Maybe comment # 43 is more lucky.

Just checking...

Kim said...

Enjoying your blog! I have a little girl who just turned two as well and would look so adorable in one of your custom tank tops!

Kim said...

I would love one of your Springy Flower Felt hair clips!

seriously? said...

OMG...I don't know if I could choose, as it is all so cute!!! I am on a winning "blog giveaway" roll. Well, I won one but, still!!!! I hope we can keep this trend going.

Congrats on your blog-o-versary!!! You are awesome!!!

Johnnal said...

Congrats!!! I love your blog! I also love those free form flower shirts!!! That's what I want if I win. My daughter would look sooo cute in one!

NovelTeaMommy said...

I think a tie shirt would be awesome! (I love your other stuff, but no girl yet!)
Congrats on one year of blogging!

NovelTeaMommy said...

And I follow you! YAY me : )

Wenbren Explains It All said...

Congratulations! That's so awesome and yeah she does look so little! I love to read your blog, it keeps me updated on what you guys are up to and I get to see pics of everyone!

Carrie said...

I don't have some children but I am sure my nephew would love something cute!

I am following you on twitter!

Follow me too!

Deanna said...

oh gosh is it too late? Because I'm a follower :)

Deanna said...

Hm, what would I like to win... Maybe a letter t-shirt for a boy? One for each boy sounds like too much to ask! ;)

Deanna said...

From you etsy shop, I love the Funky Blue and Orange at the top! And even though I have no girl, I have a scrapbook page I would looove it on. You could branch out into scrapbooking embellishment.

Willow Tree said...

Happy blogiversary! I adore the tie t-shirt. Can I suck up a bit say you're a genius? Just sayin.

Blessings,
Carolynn

Willow Tree said...

Does it count if I already follow you?

Blessings,
Carolynn

Willow Tree said...

In the words of Heather of the EO, Lady, you rock the party.

True ya know.

Blessings,
Carolynn
