It's funny how life changes so fast.
One day I'm looking at baby cribs and the next I'm look for bunkbeds.
I think I'm going to freak out when I have to start shopping for training bras and football jerseys.
Just this last Sunday, I was fixing Savannah's hair for church and as she looked at herself in the mirror, she got all... pouty. No, more like... sigh-y. You know what I mean?
Anyway, as she was gazing in the mirror, she sighed and said, "I look so young!"
Grinning I replied, "That's because you ARE young sweety."
Savannah looked a little miffed at that. "Nu uh! I'm seven and a half years old, so I'm not young anymore. I just look young right now but I don't know why!
*thoughtful pause*
Maybe it's because my hair is still wet."
Oh heavens.
When she becomes a teenager, I'm doomed.
Anyway, are you excited for this second giveaway!? YEA! Just remember this is not typically a giveaway blog. Just for the month of December, I am hosting a giveaway every Friday.
Sadly, this giveaway is for U.S. readers only.
Hey hey now! Don't shoot the messenger! I'm just doing what I was told!
But seriously, I hope you know how much I love and adore you guys. Because, wow. I spent FOREVER going through Wayfair.com's thousands of items finding stuff I thought you guys might like that fit the giveaway criteria.
So, here's the really cool thing. The winner gets to choose ONE of these three options!
I know right! So cool.
OPTION ONE
The Blender Express Plus
Designed for today’s busy lifestyle, the Blender Express Plus from Back to Basics combines functionality with ultimate convenience to provide refreshment on the go. This 11-peice blending set includes two 24-ounce traveling mugs, two leak proof closeable drinking lids, two sipping rims, two interchangeable blade bases, and many more features for when you are on the go!
OPTION TWO
The Leather Flower Necklace
Multi-strand necklace - Brown wooden beads accented with a leather flowerOPTION THREE

I'm actually feeling a little jealous now.
Or maybe a lot jealous.
So... if you happen to run across a strange comment left by someone posting as "This Is NOT Serene", well, then clearly, it would NOT be me!
*nervous cough*
Okay then. Glad we got that settled.
Wanna win?
MANDATORY:
-Leave me a comment, with your email. Any comment will do. But maybe the random number generator would be more likely to pick you if you smother it in love, praise, and affection... and chocolate.
It wouldn't hurt to throw in a little of that for me as well.
Just sayin'.
OPTIONAL FOR BONUS ENTRIES:
- Blog, Tweet, or Facebook about this giveaway and send me the link.
- Follow this blog or Like it on Facebook.
That's it! Three entries max. And PLEASE leave a separate comment for each entry. The giveaway will run through Wednesday December 14, ending at midnight.
Good Luck!

I absolutely love your blog. Not just because of this cool giveaway, but because you're an awesome mom and your comedic spin on the chaos of everyday life adds a smile to my day and makes me feel like I'm not the only mom who has days like that!
ANOTHER giveaway? Do you feel kind of like a big well-known followed-by-everyone blogger? ... Maybe you kinda already were :)
I follow your blog. Of course I follow your blog, even if it's just for the constant reminder that there is someone in the world that is a bigger chocoholic than I am (and thanks for the tip on UT truffles!!)
I tweeted it, since FB & I are not friends anymore.

The blender looks like fun. Thanks for the chance!
Of course I follow your blog, a bright smile always helps. Thank you for the book recommendation from last Friday. I just picked it up from the library!
DAH!! I want that necklace. NEED the necklace. Let's see... sprinkling sparkling heapfuls of glowing love and tasty chocolate all over your blog.
It works, right? You can taste it now right?

I shared on facebook! For future reference...facebook has a new feature for pages that if/when individuals share your specific post you (as the page owner) can view who has shared it. I've seen a couple sites monitor the shares this way, which is so much easier than the link way I've done before because if they are not my friend I cannot view the link.

Where you lead, I will follow. Hopefully you lead me to the blender thingamajig. My Magic Bullet is toast!
We need bunk beds, too. The sad thing is that my parents have a super sturdy set they want to give us, but as they are 1000 miles away, we've had issues with transportation.
Sweet giveaway!
What a great giveaway! Would love the Mega Blocks for my son :)

crap... that blender thingamawhozit brings me out of my bloggy slump long enough to leave a chocolatey comment :)
seriously - I can never keep a blender for long around this house... probably because we've moved on to the training bras and football jersey stage.
oh, and you know I totally follow your blog... of course :)
Darn! I woke up on Thursday morning at 3 to find this! Hope you're doing great. Miss you guys!!
I take after your website. Obviously I take after your web journal, regardless of the fact that its just for the consistent memo that there is somebody on the planet that is a greater chocoholic than I am (and much obliged concerning the tip on Ut truffles!!) wayfair coupon code
