    We had a milestone week in our house, my twins started preschool with no tears and mommy enjoyed for the first time in 8 years some blissful quiet time!! Hooray!!!

  31. stac says

    I’m job searching! Even though it is a challenge to keep trusting through the job hunt, it is fun to come across new things to apply for and imagine myself in the position! :)

Have fun at Blog Sugar! and…Welcome to California!

    Wow! What a great list of giveaways! I’m so excited to be able to enter. Hmm, something fun about my week? Despite the dreary, rainy weather we’ve had in NJ this week, it’s been so fun to be able to sit with a warm cup of coffee, enjoy the coming Fall weather (probably my favorite season change), and finalize designs on my own goods. Thanks, again, for offering this giveaway!

  106. Nicole says

    Something super fun and exciting about my week was that my man got me flowers {roses!} and had my 21-month-old son deliver them to me! Hello, swoon!

    I have been able to see my new niece twice and visit with my sister-in-law. It’s been a great week! :)

  127. Jenni Carlisle says

    With this weekend approaching I was sure I would be in a funk, sad I was missing all my friends at Blog Sugar. But God redeems and I am excited to be there for my daughter’s first soccer game and to fellowship with our church community for a Breakfast potluck in the park. Plus I get to prey for God to move in this sweet blogging community while others gather to support one another! Have fun Maggie!

  131. Dana Summers says

    Something fun about my week = the hubs and I did a late night frozen yogurt run after a long and stressful day. Somehow cookie dough and cereal make everything better. Thanks for the give away.

    Today I had coffee near our college campus with a good friend of mine. We then went to a thrift store to try on clothes. Fun times : )

  137. Deb says

    Let’s see, something fun about my week. That would have to be my brother surprising me with early birthday cash so I could get insurance on the car I recently got. Yay!

    What amazing giveaways! I learned how to make baby booties this week! That has been so much fun! Now, my 1 year old has shoes for almost everyday of the week!

  144. Vieve Coffelt says

    Highlight of my week was during a family bike ride around the neighborhood my 8 year old sat back in the bike trailer with his baby sister. One of our neighborhood teenagers saw us and yelled out, “i see you matt”. My son replied, “oh man, now everyone is going to think I can’t ride a bicycle”.

  150. Amanda W. says

    This week I saw my baby kick for the first time inside my belly. That was quite fun! Hubby still hasn’t felt the kicking yet but I’m sure he will soon enough!

  155. Jenna Y. says

    I am in my third week of a Child Life internship, and I was able to help many children get through tough hospital procedures. One of them wrote me the sweetest note after I helped him, this was a very fun part of my week. :)

  159. erin says

    Between my design work and my new shirt shop, my hubby and I have been able to add a ton toward our adoption! But what’s even better is he got almost all our dossier paperwork done. Now, we are just waiting on state background forms to come in and move onto our next step in the process. The cutest thing from the week was my daughter asking me to make her an africa shirt because its where her sister is coming from. So full of love that little cutie! I’d love to win some free exposure for the new shop. This is the perfect giveaway!! Thanks :-)

  165. Emily says

    My husband, mother-in-law, and I took the boys to the zoo today. They have such a good time, which makes the trip super fun for the adults.

  167. Michelle C says

    This week I enjoyed my first pumpkin spiced latte of the year and it’s been chilly and rainy, so it’s starting to feel like fall. Fall’s the best! Thanks for the chance to win!

  171. Maggie says

    I made a surprise ball for the first time to give to a friend! I can’t wait to send it to her! Now every time I go somewhere I find myself picking up trinkets for future balls.

    i saw So You Think You Can Dance Live and it was such a fun event. Those dancers impress me as athletes and artists—amazing!

  220. MollyP says

    I was able to spend Saturday with a friend who is learning to sew. We spent all day at different fabric and craft shops planning her projects and buying fabrics, and answering questions. I really hope she sticks with it. I would love to have a flesh and blood friend who sews. You digital friends are great, but having my own Friday night sew-in would be fabulous. I loved sharing my love of sewing with someone. Also, I learned about the lovely Gussy from Jen at TT&J. Your shop is lovely and your blog is, too. Best wishes on your flight back home.

  221. Lidia S says

  237. Jessica says

    Tomorrow I get to go to a coffee shop with no kiddos, get a mocha the size of a small swimming pool and edit my upcoming novel. This likely doesn’t sound fun to most people, but to me it sounds like heaven :) Thanks for the chance!

    Hi There! Happy Tuesday! Well, my hubby has been in Halloween mode this week; unpacking all the decorations and coming up with a plan on how to decorate the yard for our Zombie party this Halloween. My “almost” 2 year old son was watching him unpack all the ghosts, vampires, ghouls, and such with awe and amazement on his face. Then the hubby turned on the radio & it is playing some classic rock and dance music and the little boy is just dancing away. It’s so cute watching my little boy trying shake his little booty to the music. I just had to laugh! Good Times! Have a GREAT weekend everyone! };o)
