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 love that! I keep looking at necklaces like this, and wishing I could win one sometime :)
    I found your blog through a link-up, as far as I can remember. Honestly, I don’t remember exactly where, but I am just so glad I found it!

    I’m seeing Lisa’s necklaces everywhere these days!

    I found you through a friend of a friend of a friend when you were pregnant with the girls. I live here in the same town as you, but have never seen you out and about with your kiddos. I’m waiting for that day when I recognize your kids from the blog. =)

    Don’t you love how the blog world works? People know you, but you don’t know them? ha

    I…have…no…idea…

    Remember I am the mom of 4. The oldest of which is almost 7 and the youngest of which turned 10 weeks old today. I’m lucky I remember my name on a daily basis. And we homeschool. Seriously. Whose idea was that? I don’t remember first grade being this hard. :) The other day I had to look up something I was supposed to be teaching because I couldn’t remember what it was!

    So short story long – I don’t remember how I found you. But I’m sure glad I did.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY ONE DAY EARLY!!!!! So 35 makes you a cougar?

    I found you through Kelli Hamptons blog, but I stayed and subscribed because I love what you’re doing. Then your family, is so cute. I loved what you did with your kitchen.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! How thoughtful of you to think of others & offer such a fun giveaway! :-)

  17. 67

    Hey, that’s my brother’s birthday too! What nice people you are. Have a precious day, Jeannett!

    Let’s see, besides church and really getting to know you when we were at Brianna’s shower for Kaitlyn – and I had a very teeny Marissa on my lap, and you had just told me you were pregnant with Henry – and you were ssssssssssoooooooooo excited (It was so cute), well I have to say it was either Kate’s or Lindsey’s or Joy’s blogroll.

  18. 68

    I have been following you since Lisa posted the pictures of your twins on her blog. I fell in love with them and wanted twins SOOOOO bad. Well guess what!!! I now have my very own 6 week old twins (boy/girl) and am still following your blog! You are amazing! I LOVE your honesty and humor. You are a little ray of sunshine to me every time I read. Thanks for keeping it real!!!
    P.S.- Your banana bread is to die for and my husband can’t get enough of that berry whatever it is!!
    Hugs from Austin, TX

    Happy, Happy birthday! I found you through The Pleated Poppy – not sure how I found Lindsey though!! Happy Birthday – get some pie from Madonna’s today..yum!!

    I honestly can’t even remember how I found your blog because I’ve been reading it for quite some time. But, I will tell you this– you probably were a guest poster or linked on someone else’s blog. That’s how I typically find blogs that I like. My google reader is my best friend now a days since I follow so many people! :)

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I’m keeping my fingers crossed about this one. :)

  22. 72

    I wish I could remember how I cam across your blog. I know it was through one of the blogs that I was already following, but I am glad I decided to check yours out. Happy Birthday!

  23. 73

    Happy Birthday! I’m 32, so being 30 something is not that bad! :) I think I found your blog through another twin mommy’s blog – either that or twinstuff.com if you’re on there! I’m a mom to 18 mo. ID twin girls. I enjoy reading your posts and photos. I tried the pumkin bread recipe yesterday, and my girls loved it! :)

  24. 74

    Happy Birthday! I’m a mommy of twins too (18mo. ID girls), so I think I found your blog through another twin mommy’s blog, or twinstuff.com if you’re on there. I tried your pumkin bread recipe yesterday… my girls loved it!

  25. 75

    I’ve been reading your blog since Kelle Hampton was a guest blogger but this is my first time leaving a comment. I guess I’m officially no longer a “lurker”! Hooray!! I love reading your stories and seeing the pictures of your ADORABLE children.

    I love, love, love Lisa Leonard’s designs and have been BEGGING my boyfriend to buy me something from her site! My fingers are definitely crossed for this giveaway….

    PS… Happy birthday, one day early! Mine is next week =)

  26. 76

    I first found your blog through google. I was just looking for new reads. Since then I’ve ran across you a few times, like I did today when someone tweeted about your sweet giveaway!

  27. 77

    Hmmm… How did I find you? Umm… somehow through church… ANYway, what I really wanted to say was, 35 is a COUGAR??? Wow. I would have said late 40s at the earliest. Guess I need to start looking for a poolboy.

  28. 78

    Oh how fun to have a giveaway for your B-Day. You share your day with my hubby! I always love reading your funny/truthful blogs! Hope you have a Great day!

    Well, since I know you IRL I am pretty sure that’s how I found your bloggity blog, I might have seen on Lindsey’s or someone’s that you had started it and clicked over… hrm. Yup, I think that’s it.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

    Happy Birthday!!!

    I too will hit the big 3-0 very soon.

    And I love that necklace. And that bag!

  46. 96

    I really don’t remember exactly how I found you—I think you were mentioned on another blog I read, but not sure which one—but, I immediately loved your blog and began following in my reader!! :-)

    Joy’s Hope mentioned in one of her posts that you were the “bread queen” so I just clicked on her link to you. — I’m probably too late with the necklace giveaway, but it’s always good to hope! : )

    Happy Birthday!!! the big three-oh is no big deal! Just have fun and celebrate!! I found your blog awhile back I think through one of the fund raisers you were doing.
