Kristen’s “Pamper Me PLEASE!” Giveaway

Giveaway entry is at the bottom of the post! I love each and every one of you and appreciate that you stop by here and listen to my stories. So what better way to show my love than to give you some love back?? It’s been a while since I’ve done a giveaway and thought – what better time to do a giveaway than Valentine’s Day? The catch is that I’m not giving it to you until after Valentine’s Day. See… I figure that you have your husbands trained well enough by now, that he’ll shower you with sparkly, shiny things for the big day. But what if the sparkly, shiny thing that he gives you is a toaster? Or he buys you sensible shoes or pants. What then? Or.. what if you’re blissfully single?

Things I Love – Day 2 – The Rooster

How can I not post about the love of my life on Valentine’s Day? The biggest problem is how can I possibly convey all the things he is to me in a short post? Obviously, I can’t but will give it my best shot. The Rooster (aka Steve) is not just my husband and best friend, but he’s an amazing human being. Which is why I want to dedicate this post to him and the love that I have for him. Why is the Rooster amazing to me? Let me count the ways… He is the nicer, kinder one of the two of us. Whereas I may be the one who sets up the social situations, he’s definitely the one who steps up to the plate once we’re there and brings it home. He’s never missed a birthday. Whether it was one of the girls or mine – he’s always been … read more
