Better Than Normal (40th Birthday Bash)

For my little man's birthday I wanted something fun and special and made just for him. When you are the youngest of 5 and the fourth boy not much is purchased for you specifically and nothing has YOUR first name on it:) I found exactly the thing at Better Than Normal.

Great shop with fun fun stuff, great craftmanship and good prices:)

My little buddy has worn that crown atleast 4 times a week ever since. (It has been years) It has held up very very well and is still a big hit.

Take a look at some of the great crowns at BetterThanNormal:

Guess who's generously offering one of our readers a crown of their choice? Yep!

You can win your very own crown!! What are you waiting for it! Get to it!!

Doorposts Giveaway! (Birthday Bash)

When my daugher was born I was given a present. Something that I had read about and wanted and looked at and something that has shaped our family ever since.

I cannot say enough great things about this resource. It's not a "how to discipline" guide. It is more of a parenting concordance discussing mistakes and conundrums that little ones get into and the real root sin involved and verses that correlate.

I am so excited about the Forster family and their ministry. There is such a grace involved. Never have I gotten an attitude of "well I do it this way why don't you?" But they give a brief and humble account of what works in their home just in case it could bless you in some way. I have been blessed through their lives in so so many ways.

Today the Forster family and http://www.doorposts.com/ is allowing me to bless you through them.

We are giving away a copy of For Instruction in Righteousness.

Simple Nutrition Giveaway (Birthday Bash)

Amanda. Gosh I love her. She is the oldest of 10 children. Our families have spent A LOT of time together. A LOT of time. Through good times and bad times. I have gotten to know Amanda as a child, and as an adult. I have a lot of respect for her and for the way she has become a young woman without rebellion and without the sneaking and lying and mistakes that many of us considered part of growing up.

I have been watching and taking notes as many people a few steps ahead of me are letting go of their teens and young adults as they start their own lives. I am watching strong, smart and respectful Amanda do it and we could all take notes. Amanda is at home, with her parents, going to school and praying for her future spouse. As she prepares to be a mom and wife she has been looking into her health and fitness and God opened the doors to Shaklee. Amanda researched and learned about Shaklee and it's benefits for her life and she now has a succesful business brewing. A business that will continue to thrive when she steps back to plan a wedding and chase toddlers, whenever that may be. If only I had my ducks in a row way back then. Like I said: We should be taking notes.

Be sure to visit Amanda's blog:  MandisMusings

Amanda knows how to have a party and is the kind of friend who would stay for the clean up and lend a hand. She has brought us something near and dear to my heart.

She will be giving away a bottle of Basic H:

I got my first bottle over a year ago and have been using t for EVERYTHING that I do. EVERYTHING. Any cleaning that I do I honestly use this stuff. OK for scrubbing out the sinks and cleaning the oven I do use Shaklee's Scour Off. But to clean windows, clothing stains, my travertine stone, carpets, and everything else I use Basic H. What is more amazing is that it is so concentrated that I have been using the same bottle for years.

40? Really, ok.

I turned 40 today. I am OK with that. I know how cliched it sounds but it is hard to believe that I have a child learning to dtive and am storing high chairs in the garage instead of filling two of them around the table. Timdes they are changing....

I'm OK with aging but the actual birthDAY itself is hard for me. The well meaning "what are you doing for your birthday?" throws me for a loop. Uh....child rearing and discipline and meal preparation and laundry and....hopefully in there somewhere but life just doesn't stop. I wasn't able to pull off a huge getaway, make time stop day for me. Shouldn't someone else make that happen for me instead of asking ME what I am doing to honor me? Wouldn't ya think?

SOOOOO I pulled together some blogging friends and businesses and have some great party swag in store for you!! Stay close today and watch for some amazing giveaways and many ways to enter!

Lisa Leonard Designs Giveaway (40th Birthday Bash)

I am so excited about this giveaway. Lisa Leonard is an inspiration to me in soo many ways.

Everyone has seen her amazing jewelry and decorations:

Her blog is AMAZING. She has this ability to bring beauty and thankfulness to the mundane and make them seem not so mundane.

She brings an amazing style to everything she does. Have you seen her amazing outifts on WIWW?

But what really got me was that she made jewelry to stay at home with her boys and the honesty and depth she trusted us with when she shared the heartache of having a child with a disability.

I am honored to journey with her on her blog and to share this awesome giveaway with you!
