New Look and Giveaway Winner

Hi, loves! What do y'all think about the freshened up look around here? No major changes but I was getting tired of the blue background, so I had it switched to white and it feels like a breath of fresh air to me!



I've been meaning to mention something for a while. I've received some super sweet comments lately that I would love to respond to, but the comments / profiles aren't linked to an email address or blog. I do see and appreciate every comment I receive, but I'd love to be able to contact everyone who communicates with me through my blog!


If you don't want to link an email to your profile, please leave an email address in your comments if you want me to be able to respond. Thanks much! :-)


In other news: as I kind of suspected might happen, we did not win our little modeling contest. We did come in second in Jaxon's age group (winners were chosen from each age group). Only problem with that was, our 41 votes came in behind a little bowtie-wearing boy who received 291 votes! So yeah, not even close.

Jaxon was absolutely thrilled when I told him how many votes he received.

But he was a little stunned when he heard how many the other guy got. I don't blame him, I felt the same way.

But on to the happier news of who won the drawing for the $20 gift card! I used my typical outdated method of throwing everyone's names in a bowl (twice if you voted on both pages), then having my husband close his eyes and draw one. You'll just have to trust me that we didn't cheat. Cause we didn't. Promise.

And the winner is...

(drumroll, please, and all that jazz)...

Kindra S!

Congrats, Kindra! Let me know what store or website you would like a gift card to. Thank you so much to everyone who voted / entered. We feel very loved and are super appreciative of the support!

Now I'd just like to know how in the heck those crazy parents managed to drum up 291 votes.
