Have I told you all lately how much I love you?
Because it’s a lot.
I always said I’d blog even if no one ever read it, but here you are. Reading it.
And you – sharing in this little hobby of mine – has turned it into something bigger than I ever could have imagined it would be. You’re the reason my life looks so insanely different today than it did a year ago. You’re the reason I get to work in my pajamas all day most days. You’re the reason I’m so proud to say that I am now a full-time blogger.
You’re the reason my simple little dream of sitting down to a home cooked meal with my family at night has come true.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Now let me throw some money at you.
In addition to being blessed in the reader department, I’m also blessed in the blogger friends department and a bunch of us have teamed up and decided our fabulous readers could use a little extra cash this holiday season. Consider it a bribe, consider buying those last minute gifts, consider it an excuse to take a day off and spend it at the spa, or catch up on bills – whatever your wonderful little heart desires!
Most of all, consider me grateful to have you here, keeping my little dream alive.
Thank you, thank you, thank!

*Valley, damn Siri!
Haha! Siri should know better!!
What a generous guft. Thank you for the entry oppurtunity. No instagram for me so here’s my entry.
I’d pay some January bills! Thanks!
I’d save the money to take a family trip over spring break.
My husband just had unexpected open heart surgery and I’m due with our second LO in just a few days. I’d put the money towards bills and a cleaning service since my husband can’t do much work for the next 8 weeks! Or, I’d put the money towards a new car….I was just rear ended and it was totaled! Life’s been crazy and we could totally use this
Oh my goodness, Dana! I’m so sorry to hear your family has had so many difficulties lately! Wishing you a safe, healthy, and peaceful holiday season. It sounds like 2015 will be a year of celebrations and joy!
I would use it to pay off bills!
I’d buy home decor! Merry Christmas!
Pay off the Christmas gift bills!!
I’d use it towards remodeling our kitchen!
Ooh, how fun!
Extra Christmas treats for the whole family!
Extra Christmas decor – maybe outside lights!!
I’d use it to buy my husband a birthday extravaganza. His birthday is right after Christmas so he never gets a good present.
Awww, poor guy. Kate’s birthday is January 9th so luckily she’s juuuuust far enough past Christmas that the two don’t run into each other. I hope your husband has a wonderful birthday!
this would be great! I would spend it on responsible things, like coffee and shoes.
It sounds like we have a similar sense of responsibility, Andrea. 😉
It’s really boring, but I’ll get two new tires for my car to prepare for the winter roads! Thanks!
An excellent idea! Thankfully our Wisconsin winter has been super mild so far (hardly any snow!) but I’m sure it’s coming. Stay safe!
I would put it towards an anniversary adventure for my husband and me.
Happy (soon to come) anniversary, Jamie!
I would put the money towards purchasing all those baby things for our little one on the way!
Oh how fun! Congratulations to you, and enjoy!
I would buy something to help decorate my new house. The walls are too bare!
This would be such a blessing right before our New Years’ travels to see family!
Get a special present for family!
I’ve always wanted to pay for the person in line behind me at the gas station or take out place but don’t have the extra cash laying around to do that. I think it would be a fun way to spend the day with my kids surprising strangers!
LOVE that idea, Kim! I had someone do this for me in the drive-thru line at Starbucks once and it was such a wonderful surprise!! I paid it forward and paid for the person behind me in return. Such a fun idea and a great little way to spread holiday cheer!
I’d use it for our upcoming Disneyland trip!
I’d use it to buy my hubby something sweet, like a massage or dinner out, because he’s an awesome man and father and I’d like to spoil him more.
Love that idea, Julie! I always love hearing a happy wife bragging about her husband. I don’t think we celebrate these awesome men in our lives enough!
Put it in my new baby’s college savings account.
Wow, what a fun giveaway. I would use it either for barre classes or to buy new ceiling fans for our house.
I’ve never tried barre but it sounds like a great workout!
I will use it to buy new accessories for my bedroom!
Would probably put in my house fund…
I’d use it to help pay for wedding items
Congratulations on living your dream!
Thank you so much, su9su9!

How Awesome! I think it would go towards extra Christmas goodies !
This is awesome!
Definitely would pay off bills!!
I would love a pair of nice black leather boots. But I never can justify that purchase so I always get cheap ones that aren’t quite right. Maybe this could be the reason to finally splurge?!
I’m sorry you didn’t win, Theresa, but I hope you’re able to splurge on your new boots soon!
I would buy myself an Ipad
I would donate some to charity and spend the rest on an upcoming vacation
