A Birthday Giveaway!

{Little chambanachik, turning seven or eight, perhaps?
Regardless, I'm loving the scrunchy and paint-splattered jean vest.
And that my poor brother didn't quite make it into the picture- but then, he's the middle child.}

"Clearly God was in some kind of mood on my birthday."  — Jodi Picoult 

Today, I'm 29 years old! One year left before the big 3-0.

I have a thing about birthdays; even though I've now had 29 of them, I still feel like they should be a big deal. For one day, it's nice to celebrate simply existing, you know? It's a day to fill with ridiculous balloons, confetti, too much cake, and pretty, wrapped up packages full of surprises. 

Today, I'm celebrating the years I've had, what they've been filled with, and where they've led. I'm celebrating picking up Sky from the airport tonight after he's been away doing Army things, and celebrating the job he was just offered yesterday afternoon. I'm celebrating the two sweetest babies being mine. And I'm celebrating all of you in blogland, because I've found some of the greatest friendships here. You've been with me for the most significant parts of my journey, and it has been amazing.

Truthfully, I hate parties, but I would love one with all of you. Because I can't share a slice of gloriously misspelled Walmart birthday cake with all of you, though, I figured I should do the next best thing, and give away some tasty favorites of mine. The winner must promise to raise up their coffee mug and toast my 29th year! It's the least you can do, right?

What you'll win:

* A $10 Starbucks gift card {to sip}

* A Starbucks journal {to inspire}

* Biscoff cookies {to nibble}

*Chocolate covered espresso beans {to crunch}

Enjoy!
*If you don't live near a Starbucks and are chosen as the winner, 
please let me know and we will substitute the giftcard part of the prize!
