We have a winner!

Oooh, this is so exciting!

My first giveaway winner announcement!

We had 16 people enter and I used random.org to come up with winner...

#9 - Steph and Jeff

I love, love, love uppercase living. My friend in Kim sells it, and I have a couple in my house. I would love to have one for my bedroom. Because we are house-sitting for the next several months, she doesn't want us to put holes in the walls, vinyl lettering would be a great alternative.

Congrats to you! Please e-mail me for details on receiving your prize!

And another BIG thanks to Julie for her fabulous prize! Don't forget to check out her site for lots of new ideas! And she has some great specials until September 10th!

I have another AWESOME giveaway lined up for this Friday so stay tuned!

I Heart Faces: Silly Faces & Pets Week

Check out all of the crazy, silly, funny faces this week over at I Heart Faces!

Our three-year-old's attempt at a silly face!

And while you're there, check out all of the animal shots too.

But no pets here for a while - sorry kids!

Good thing we go to the zoo or we wouldn't have any animal shots!

What a pair!

Not Me Monday!

And we're back! I love Not Me Mondays! You can check out all the other "Not Me" fun here but read "not mine" first :)

I definitely did not have a diaper leak on my shirt and then continue to wear the shirt for the rest of the day because I forgot about it. Not me.

And I did not leave three laundry baskets full of clean, unfolded laundry in our bedroom for several days because I couldn't bring myself to fold them. Oh no, I did not let the laundry graveyard move to our bedroom.

I also did not let my son continue to eat brownie after brownie, even after he was told no, after his bedtime and without any punishment. Nope, not me. How could I do that?

And of course, I did not eat chunk after chunk of those same brownies that just didn't look "right" for serving as I was cutting them out for a party. And that was not after I hadn't eaten anything for supper. That would just be ridiculous.

Oh, and I was not so excited for our upcoming no-kids vacation that I put out my suitcase a week ago and started packing. That is not me at all.

Not me!

What's With All the Ice Cream?

Thank God I'm a Country Boy

Ok, not entirely true.

Our son was not raised in the country. Neither was I. Or my husband.

My mom was - does that count?

I don't think Jeremiah would have minded it one bit if he had been raised on a farm.

Deep down, I think he is a country boy - animals, tractors, wide open spaces - they all suit him perfectly.

So he was right at home at our county fair this week.

It's all about the tractors. Antique ones at that - anywhere from 1934 to 1958.

I have to admit, I thought it was pretty cool too.

Jeremiah even wore his John Deere overalls to really get into the action.

And of course I have pictures to commemorate the occasion...
