We officially started this blog a year ago today. I don't think either one of us realized the time we'd invest, when we first started. There have been times where we pushed forward 100% and times when we had too many other things going on and were forced to put the blog on the back burner.
During the year, we've: gained some wonderful followers, made some fantastic "blogland" friends, and teamed up with some amazing shops for giveaways.
We are very proud of what we've accomplished and look forward to so much more in the next twelve months.
As a special thank you, for hanging with us, we've teamed up with 12 great shops to offer you exciting giveaways for the rest of the month! Make sure you're an email subscriber so you don't miss any of them! You'll have 24 days to enter each giveaway so you'll have plenty of time. Make sure you enter.

Little Me Tea- Little Me Tea is a delicious blend of caffeine-free tea kicked up with fruit and vegetable juices. It's rich in nutrients, super-low in sugar and organic to the core. In today's polluted, nutrient-deficient world, our children need a true force of nature to keep them healthy and strong. That's why we created Little Me Tea — the healthiest kids' drink on the planet. Even though the tea is marketed for kids, I know many adults who love the tea as well. The creators, Melinda and Michael, are constantly coming up with delicious recipes too! Think smoothies, warm ciders, etc....
Each of these great shops is sponsoring a giveaway in the near future. Stay tuned. In the meantime, if there's something you see and love, please let them help you!
