Hobby? Journal? Addiction? Perhaps all three.
Really though, I think that this whole "blog" world was a huge part of my transition into parenting. I started our blog when Aubrey was just 4 months old. I just had her, but also had Brogan on my days off. He wasn't even 2 yet. Life was so different then. Simpler. It seems odd to say that now, but really it was. Basically she would just eat, sleep and make dirty diapers. My how things change. I've really "become" a parent in the almost 3 years since I started this blog. I love looking back and seeing everything that's happened; the growth in our sweet girl and, of course, myself. We have our own little blogging community, and I feel like we're raising our children together...through cyberspace and real life. :) Sounds weird to an outsider, but all of you are an encouragement and inspiration. So, thanks!
Happy 300 posts to me! And to you? A girly gift-away!
What makes a gift-away different than a giveaway? Mainly it's the fact that most of the items were found in my "gift closet" and the others I made last night. Cheap, perhaps, but I like to call it resourceful. Also, these items would be great to save and give as a gift yourself. :) Win, WIN!
So you know the rules, post a comment and you'll be entered. Both of the "giftaways" are girly item collections, but one is for the older ladies, while the other is for the littlest ladies. You can be entered into both or specify one, whatever tickles your fancy. :) I'll probably draw names next Saturday. Bring on the comments!
Lovely Ladies Package

Lovely Ladies Package
Old Navy scarf in a dark teal (looks kind of light here)
Cute earrings- Target
A little poppy for the ponytail (it's a bit big on my model)
Littlest Ladies 
Beanie and bow- candy cane colors- *note this beanie will fit 3-12 months best, but I have a red one that will fit older toddlers, if you would rather have that. :)
Owl swaddler, receiving blanket approx. 36" x 36"
I made this forever ago when Justin's grandma first gave me her surger. My original vision was for Davi's babe, but he was a "he". I saved it for Lorie's babe, and well, he was also a "he". So someone will hopefully enjoy it :)
P.S. If you're one of my friends who knows how to read, but not to comment, you can e-mail me or send me a facebook message to be entered. :)

Fun idea, Barbie! We are cleaning out all of the cupboards at home and I have come to my gift closet,too. I will have to be "resourceful" when I have an occasion to gift-away. Thanks for the encouragement over at adventuringseals!
And, oh yes, I want to be entered in both!
Yay for 300 posts! I'm not even sure how many I have at this point because I'm still not done transferring... on my lists of things to do.
Anyway, I would like to be entered into the older ladies gift-away because I think the other stuff is much too small for my littlest lady. :)

Ooooh, what a sweet giftaway! That is a great idea to clean out your cupboards and use the items to give away. Yay for 300 posts! That is amazing that you've blogged so much. :) I've really enjoyed getting to know you and your family through your blog. It is so much fun making friends through this crazy blog world. I'd like to be entered in the older ladies' giftaway because I don't have a sweet baby girl or know anyone expecting a girl at this point. :)
