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.

    I {think} I found you from a twitter link from lisa leonard, when she had her story on your site.
    Have a wonderful birthday!

    35 is Cougar age???!!!! Happy Birthday, Jeannett! The thirties are great!! And, I can speak with some authority since I am half-way through them myself. How I found you….Hmmmm…it was at Lindsey’s house :) The first time I met you and the rest is history.

    I think its pretty obvious.

    I’ve been reading since forever!

  5. 5

    I don’t remember exactly how I found you! One link led to another link, to another link, to another… :) I think it might’ve been from Lisa Leonard. But I am SO happy that I found your site! (I turned 30 last month…and it’s not so bad.) :)

    I honestly can’t remember how I found you, but I’m glad I did! Have a wonderful birthday. You deserve it Girl!

    A friend of mine sent me a link to your blog back when I was pregnant with my twins and you had posted all of your belly pics. At that time I was nervous and scared of the whole twins idea so I started reading – and have been hooked ever since! I love the idea of giving mixed with real life stories and pics of your adorable kids. Thanks for being so inspiring – look at all you’ve accomplished and you’re not even thirty yet?! Just think about what God has in store for your next thirty years?! Look out world!

    When I first glanced at the giveaway pic, I thought you were giving away your knobs (does that sound weird?) and I almost did a backflip. Happy, happy birthday!! I’m 4 years in and it’s not that bad, promise. And I found you through Julie’s, I’m pretty sure.

    i honestly don’t remember how i found you, but now you just show up in my reader. : )

    Um, lol, I don’t remember! Sits? Theta Mom? The Red Dress Club? Twitter? Or maybe you were suggested to me by a another blogger? I don’t remember!

    Happy Birthday, though. I’ll be 30 myself in a couple of months. I was telling my husband that I’ll finally be an adult! :P

    Happy Birthday! Thanks so much for doing this giveaway! I found you from a CP search. I have a little boy with CP too! I enjoy reading to see how your little girl is doing and am glad to know there are others out there! Thanks again!

  16. 16

    Happy Birthday! 30 really isn’t bad at all. For some reason I know a lot of people who freaked over the big 3-2 but having recently turned 32 myself that one wasn’t bad either. :)

    Anyway, I’m not really sure how I found you, to be honest. I would guess it was through someone else linking to your blog, but I really don’t know who. I’m now here for the long haul though. ;)

    First of all, Happy {almost} Birhday Jeannett! …you know, I am not 100% sure how I found your lovely blog — twitter I believe? I think I started following you there first. (:

  19. 19

    Well, first of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thirty isn’t so bad. :-) (Actually, 40 was my best birthday so far! So things get better, not worse!!)

    I found you through Lisa, herself! So glad I found your blog! Adding you to my reader now! :-)

    Happy Birthday!!! 30 rocks! 31 sucks. No one cares anymore and you are just… older. Now I am 32 and I can never remember if I am 31 or 32…

    I found you through a series of politically charged comments Andy left on one of Brianna’s posts. It was awesome. You were pregnant with Henry and I was fascinated by the idea of a home birth and I got hooked. And then you got pregnant with twins! More fascination.

  22. 22

    Happy Birthday, Jeannett! I hope its wonderful!
    I found your blog before it became LifeRearranged.com. Back when it was with Blogspot. (oh boy, now i sure hope you WERE with blogspot, because otherwise I have NO idea how I found you!) I was just scrolling through (you know, hitting “next blog” at the top of the page) to see if I could find more blogs to procrastinate my time…I mean to see if I could relate with anyone. I came across yours and your adorable children were pictured in the post and I was hooked. You made me laugh as well, so I thought that was an extra bonus! :)

  25. 25

    I found you through Lisa! How awesome of you to give a gift on your birthday (well the day before your birthday). In my family we celebrate our birthday and then we have a day after your birthday day…lol. No gifts that day just phone calls.

    Thanks so much

    Well, a little over 3 years ago…this wonderful bundle was growing inside you and you decided to keep grandmas and of course great aunts (ME!) informed of the progress!!

  35. 35

    Happy 30th Birthday!! Hope it’s wonderful! The thirties are fantastic! And I know you in real life, so that’s how I came to your blog. I probably first found out through Brianna’s or Pastor Tim’s blog, way back when.

    Happy Birthday! Welcome to the club!

    I can’t remember how I stumbled across your blog, but your story telling, writing style, and recipes keep me coming back.

    Your “healthy” berry crisp was a big hit at my house. I’m gonna make the peanut butter cake/pie one of these days!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 30? I was 30 at least 3 times that I can remember. I have my birthday next week and I think I will be 29 this year….well maybe I should shoot for a higher number because my daughter is slowly catching up with me. :)
