Today was a great and productive day at Cameron’s school, but boy am I pooped right now! I’m ever so grateful for the times when he behaves so well during exams like he has today–especially during the STAR test. Gosh, I feel for those children. Thinking of STARs and SATs gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Although most of us have only been connected through “cyberspace” and have yet to meet face to face, I just have such a great affection for y’all, if you will.
Not only do you women AND men (if there are any out there who deny reading this blog, and I would hate to be charged for discrimination) make me smile with your enthusiasm for life, health, relationships, and so many countless of other great things you have to offer up! I dare to say that I’ve come to really feel a deep connection with you all that’s perhaps surpassing the superficial level of relationship (at least through the internet).
I know I know…you feel the same way too…errrr *cue the crickets?!*
Wait, hold on! Before you click the X on this page due to apprehension of my “sappiness”, let me just tell you that I’ve been wanting to do this forever. So you’re wondering what it is, right?
I just want to show some “love” (dude what’s with all the quotations today?) by hosting a giveaway to all of you readers–whether you’ve been reading for the past few months, or whether you’re here for the first time. It’s open to anyone and everyone from everywhere!
Not being exactly sure of how I wanted to show the appreciation, I thought that a giveaway would be ideal for the occasion. After all, May is a perfectly good month for giveaways. I just made that up.
You know how much I love certain foods like bars, nut/seed butters, grains, and all that great stuff. I put together just a few items that I thought you might like as well. If you don’t like ‘em, you can send ‘em back to me and I’ll eat it all.
So here goes nothing!
I realize it’s a humble little giveaway, but something has to be better than nothing! Also, I haven’t tried the Maranatha SSB yet. I was looking for Once Again Sunflower Butter but the store didn’t carry it. However, I’m pretty sure this will be a good one too.
The package will contain:
- 3 packets of Amazing Grass
- 1 Pure Bar, Larabar, and Clif Mojo
- Maranatha SSB
- The amazing Quinoa flakes!
- And some Asian-ness with Pocky and Hello Panda for good measure
- One surprise book that has truly changed the way I see myself and others. Dun dun dun…
Here are the guidelines:
- Subscribe to my blog and comment that you’ve done so
- Tweet about the giveaway and comment about that too
- Simple enough! I think?
I hope a good number of you will enter to make this more exciting! I mean, the greater the challenge, the greater the fun.
This will be open until Sunday night, the 8th. I will announce the winner on Monday.
Have a sweet night and I shall talk to you soon.
Grace & Peace,
Ellie <33
