Happy Blogiversary to me!

One year ago today, I began blogging. Karen's was the first blog that I ever read. Of course I was hooked immediately by her wit and humor, but I also loved the idea of writing down my daily thoughts and experiences on a blog. I have loved this last year in bloggy town, and look forward to another! Thanks to all of my 5 loyal readers. It has been so much fun for me to get to know women that I never would have had the opportunity to meet otherwise, through blogging.


Having a blog has been very therapeutic for me. It's so nice to have a little space where I can celebrate my family, share my thoughts and feelings, vent, or just think out loud. I also love the give and take of the comments. I always look forward to hearing other peoples thoughts through the comments left on my blog. Thank you for reading about all my crazy this last year, and if you have just joined the madness, welcome! Hope you stick around for another!


In honor of my 1 year celebration, I'm going to have a giveaway. I've been trying to think of what I would like to share with others, and since I have only one, and I mean ONE hands-on talent, I have decided to make it the prize. Trust me, if I tried to make something cute and crafty to give away, NO ONE would want it! But I do love to cook, and to bake, and I would love to share my one talent with someone. So here's my giveaway.


One lucky winner will receive a HOMEMADE CANDLELIGHT DINNER for 2, including the dessert of your choosing, delivered to your doorstep! (If the winner knows me well, and would feel comfortable, I am also offering free babysitting for the evening so that you and your spouse can enjoy the meal ALONE!)
