Anniversary Giveaways!

What a difference a year makes! 

Since I started blogging, I have made some great friends!  I've met only a few of you but I feel as though I know you all!  Thanks for sticking with me.  Many have been followers and have commented on my blog since I started.  Some of you I've just "met!"
I'm having a giveaway to celebrate my anniversary and to show my appreciation to all of you!  I'm giving away some things that I have posted about.. (Sorry, my grandkids aren't up for the giveaway!)

                     1. Cooking With Connie

This cookbook is a must if you have children or grandchildren.  There are some great, easy recipes that even I can make! It's filled with colorful, step-by-step instructions and facts about the ingredients!  Perfect for teaching a child about the world of cooking! There may even be a recipe for lemonade!

Included in this giveaway are these colorful hot pads.  One for you and one for...you!  You might not want your child taking hot things out of the oven!

2.    Run For Red

 Are you wanting to be more active and to be able to brag about the number of steps you've walked during the day?  Of course, you do!

(Not the exact pedometer but the same brand)

This digital pedometer is the tool you need!  Just clip it to your waistband (some of us are still looking for our waist) and it keeps track of the steps and miles you walk and the calories you're burning! 

Make sure you have s good pair of athetic socks and a supply of band-aids for any blisters!

3.   The Eyes Have It!

I need to have make-up on my eyes before I leave the house because if I don't it can be pretty scary and I always run into people I know!  I'm giving away some Mary Kay (surprised?) eye makeup.

You get this compact filled with 3 mineral eyeshadows and 1 cheek highlighting powder! (Not these colors) Sorry, you won't get the lipstick BUT that's not all...

...You need to finish your look with an eyeliner and mascara!

 

That's a value of $69.50! 

Three prizes = 3 winners!

Here is all you need to do. 

Leave a sweet comment to let me know what prize(s) you'd like to win! 

How easy is that?  If you follow my blog, you get another chance to win. You're welcome to blog or FB about this giveaway.  If you do that, just leave another comment and let me know. 

Good luck, my friends!

Ready? Giveaway!

Ready for Spring? I received this wonderful Garden book from AnnMarie at "An Old Fashioned Girl" and I love looking at the pictures of the beautiful flower gardens. Makes me excited to do some planting in a few months!

Thank you, Ann, for being so generous.

Ready for the next birthday installment?

I have two handsome sons-in-law whose birthdays we celebrated this month.

Andy and Vili are the same age.

Andy's married to our oldest daughter, Candice. His birthday is actually on New Year's Eve but we can count that as a January birthday. And yes, there is some confusion with the 2 Andys.  We have Andy the Elder and Andy the Younger.

Vili is married to our 3rd daughter, Jill.

He celebrates 2 birthdays.  One that his mom insists is his birthday and the other one, a month later, is on his birth certificate.  I think the records in Tonga are not very reliable.  I'm siding with his mom, she should know when he was born!

I hope that both of my sons-in-law know how much I appreciate their kindness and patience with their family.  They're the best!

Ready for visiting another blog?  It just so happens I'm a guest blogger for Camille. Come visit me at "Make It Work Mom" and see how Camille takes a day off!

She's sticking her neck out on this one!  It's a good thing she gets the last edit on the post.

Ready for a Giveaway? 

I found this cookbook at Barnes & Noble in the clearance bin.  When I took it up front to check out, it rang up the full price.  The manager was called to check it out and said that since it had the clearance sticker, they would honor it.  This cookbook is filled with delicious recipes that are cooked on a grill.  Pizza, flatbread, chicken, pork, fish, turkey, beef, and vegetables are the stars of this book!

Since Spring is just around the corner, (wishful thinking) you'll be ready to grill like a pro after perusing this book!

And - what better treat to munch on, while planning your next barbecue, than these?!

To enter this giveaway of the recipe book and M&Ms, leave a comment.  If you're a follower, you'll automatically be entered twice.  Giveaway ends Saturday.

See you at Camille's!
