Summer Days – I’m going to Lighten UP with a Thirty-One Giveaway!

I will not lie; I’ve hit a few speed bumps during this week. Here’s a quick bullet list as to keep me from dwelling on it now. I will save them for a separate blog post. Obviously. (See title).

• My epic search for the best non-toxic sunblock that does not smell like vomit *and* works (such high standards, I know)

• The tantrums of my 2 year old that end up in pouts and antisocial behavior (please check out Skinny Scoop for my poll on how to deal with such behavior)

• Making sure I do the Kindergarten packet with Marie that includes about 207 points of interest

• Reading an awesome and incredible, yet completely depressing book by Ashley Judd called Everything That is Bitter and Sweet (I love love love this book, and I greatly admire her strength in finding herself and setting personal boundaries all while going to the worst slums of developing nations; however, it’s just a little heavy for me at this time)

So here are the some fun things to lighten up all this drama:

• BlogHer11 is a month away! Yeaaa! I cannot wait!

• My garden is taking off and looking awesome!

• And last but certainly not least, a giveaway!

My friend Beth at Stape’s House is a Thirty-One Gifts Director. She has been kind enough to let me try out the utility tote. Here it is:



The one she gave me is in the Pin Dots print.  I love it!  The one I will be giving away is in the Floral Celebration print.
Awesome for some summer fun!
