It’s My Birthday!

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow I’m a be 30.

THIRTY.

Three oh.

Whew!

But really, I don’t care.

It’s cool.

Age is just a number, right?

Besides, Julie tells me that now I’m only be a mere 5 years away from being a Cougar.

So that’s pretty cool.

Just call me Coogs Jr.
She does.

So, in honor of MY birthday, and because I love my readers so…

I’m offering YOU a present!!!

{Why today and not on my actual bday?  Because I kept thinking it was Friday all day yesterday so I told you in my post to come back today!  Oops!}

Lucky, eh?

What is it?

It’s good.

REAL good.

In fact, they are some of MY favorite things.

For starters, let’s giveaway a…

Sweet and Simple Birdie Necklace.

I *love* this necklace.

Actually, I love all things from Lisa.

But this is just so…perfect.

Wear it with anything.

And I said START didn’t I?

Well, how about if your necklace came packaged inside a pretty little pouch?

A pretty little pouch with a fun ruffle and red polka dot insides from The Pleated Poppy?

Too cute, right?!

I knew you’d love it!

So how do ya win?

Leave me a comment telling me how you found my little corner of BloggyLand.

That’s it!

No tweeting, facebooking, or selling your firstborn.

Just one comment.

Because I love you guys.

For reals.

Thanks for reading along and encouraging one another.

It’s been a fun journey!

{This is open to everyone…even family and IRL friends…so don’t think it’s only for my “other” readers.}

Happy Day!

Oh, and if you want to get me something for my bday…

how about you give $5 to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital?

Truly.

I am in love with them.  It would make my day.

I'm a mom to four. A wife to one. I believe in story. I love telling you about mine and would love to hear yours. There's really no sense in wasting our suffering and not sharing in each other's joy. We're all in this together...even if it doesn't always feel like it.

    Happy birthday!!!
    I found you on a twin chat board when you (and I) were still pregnant with your girls! Time sure does fly by!!

    I don’t remember how I found you – most likely on someone’s favorites list – perhaps Tim’s. But then knowing you and what your story is about is always fun to read and I can keep up with your life with your kids through this and FB. I would love to win something for a change and this is the best of both worlds – a Lisa Leonard necklace AND a pouch from Lindsey! What fun! hugs (and you convinced me…donating to St. Jude – also reminded me to make or decorate pillowcases for Summer for St. Jude)
