It's time to Celebrate the New Year & an All New You
with this giveaway hop hosted by LaurenPaints.com!
So what's my prize? Glad you asked! There's a whole hodge podge of things I like.
Here's a little bit about the prizes.
First up is a copy of Sarah Ban Breathnach's A Daybook of Comfort and Joy. I wrote about how much I loved this book this past summer. It's all about simplifying your life and being happy with what you have, but still dreaming big dreams for yourself. It's not preachy or self righteous, but if you really read it, I guarantee it will change your outlook on life.
Next up is a set of three mini lined notebooks and a cinnamon scented pen from Smencils. These are great if you're trying to get organized. I carry a little notebook like this in my purse for keeping lists and writing reminders for myself.
Having a cup of coffee every morning is my little ritual to get my day started. I usually brew up a cup and savor it while I read my email, check in on Facebook, and just ease into the day. (That's one of the advantages of working predominately afternoons and evenings. No rush-rush to get ready in the morning.) So, I'm sending a bag of Cameron's "African Cinnamon" coffee. This is a company out of Shakopee, Minnesota, that a lot of the grocery stores around here sell. I think they're pretty good. I'm also including Dream coffee mug from my affiliate, Dayspring Cards. The mug says, "DREAM God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine. Ephesians 3:20", and
on the back, "higher than a mountain, deeper than the sea, wider than the world - for the size of our dreams
tells not how big we are but how big our God is."
And lastly, I'm all about the natural health and beauty, so I'm including a jar of my homemade sugar scrub- peppermint scented. (If you want to make your own, you can find the instructions here. I'm also including a bar of homemade soap that is smells great. I didn't make it, but it was made locally. It's oatmeal almond scented and smells great. Both will come in handy when you need a little pampering.
Estimated retail value of this prize pack is $30. You can enter using the Rafflecopter form below. It's mandatory to answer the question, "What's one thing you hope to accomplish in the New Year" with blog comment, but all other entry options are optional. Giveaway ends January 20.

DeleteI want to get in better shape.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice giveaway!
I hope to accomplish having myself and my family eat more healthy food for the year
ReplyDeleteWhat a good goal! I try to limit my intake of processed foods and things that aren't natural. I find prepping is vital to this. If I buy a melon, I remove the peeling, and cut it up into bite size pieces when I get home otherwise I will forget about it until it's mush. I also try to cook up a big batch or rice or barley ahead of time to use in my lunches that week.
DeleteI started writing a novel over five years ago. My goal is to finish it early this year and submit it to a publisher. Thank you for the super giveaway opportunity. Keep up the terrific blogging.

Deletestart getting out of debt
ReplyDeleteI want to save money.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying out that savings plan on pinterest where you put $1 in a jar the first week of the new year, $2 on the second, $3 the third week, and so on and so on, until the last week when you put in $52. At the end you're supposed to have $1378. That would give me a nice chunk of change for a little trip in 2014. :) We'll see if I can stick with it.
Deletei want to create a better homeschool pla for my kids
ReplyDeleteAs a past homeschooled kid, I have to say this is a great goal. You're laying the groundwork for the rest of your kids' lives, so you want to be sure it's a solid foundation. I think my mom did a great job making sure we were structured and taught well. At the time, I would have rather she been a little more lax, but I do appreciate it now. :)
DeleteI'd like to cook more at home. Healthy and cost saving too.
ReplyDeleteI think cooking at home is a great way to eat healthier and save some money! Good for you!
DeleteI usually make a list of resolutions, and break them out into manageable steps, and colorcode them, and schedule them into the calendar, and... But this year, my sole focus is on having a happy healthy baby.
