Night!

Thank You!

First of all, thanks for all of your feedback on my blog!

I will post the winner of the giveaway tomorrow.

We have made so much progress with our unpacking. That is what I keep telling myself whenever I look around at all of our stuff in corners of the apartment that still needs to be put somewhere.  I really can't think straight when our life looks and feels so chaotic.  When I can't think straight I do silly things like cleaning the washer and dryer nooks and crannies with a q-tip, when there is a box right next to me waiting to be unpacked.  Despite my moments of q-tip cleaning distraction, we are working our tails off to finish this chore by Thursday (first day of fall semester).  We take plenty of breaks for coffee, bike riding, swinging on the playground and kissing Lincoln's chub.  Baby chub is irresistible isn't it?

I'll be back tomorrow with the winner.

Giveaway!

I am so excited to celebrate my 200th post today with a giveaway from one of my favorite places!

Thank you for stopping by, reading my posts and leaving your kind words for me to read.  I have a whole list of ideas that I want to share on this space in the future and knowing that there is someone out there reading is just the right motivation for me to keep this space active.

As my thanks to you for stopping by I am giving away a set of these adorable Anthropologie measuring spoons!  I have to admit, it is a little hard for me to not just sort of stick these in my kitchen drawer amidst all the unpacking, but in reality, it is much more fun to share this with one of you.

How can you win?

It's easy:

-Everyone who comments below sharing what she (or he!) would like to read more of on my blog gets an entry.

-Everyone who signs up in the left-hand sidebar to follow me gets an entry, but you have to comment letting me know you signed up and telling me what you want to see more of.  If you are already following me, you get two entries just for commenting about what things you like the most.

-Everyone who tweets this post gets another entry, but be sure to comment to let me know that you tweeted and what things you want to see more.

So that gives everyone the possibility of having their name in the hopper three times!  

This giveaway will be open until Sunday evening, August, 21.
