My blogiversary is fast approaching. I posted my first real post on March 24, 2008. In honor of this momentous occasion, I've decided to have a giveaway. The big prize up for grabs is a "box of goodies" including at least 12 of my favorite things. Some things that are included are jewelry and soap from one of my favorite Etsy shops, plus more! I promise, it will be great! I am blessed to have some wonderful loyal readers, so this is my way of saying thanks for a great year!Okay, I've had some emails telling me this is too confusing, so I've reworked it a bit.

I just enjoy reading your blog for the various posts which are often a lot of fun -- like the 911 call and shutters (which I think are cute also) and Rachel Ray (whose shows I enjoy). I read your blog because it's fun and wouldn't change anything :-)

I always love your recipes! I don't have a kitchen in my apartment so I can rarely follow through on them, but I print stuff out so that when I have a better apartment (with a kitchen!) I can put to use some of the great recipes I find.
Keep up the good blogging work! <3

I just found your blog, so I can't say what I found helpful, but with the short peek around that I took I can say I'll be back for more.
I am fast becoming an Etsy addict so I'm interested to see what you'd include as your "favorites." Maybe you could list your favorite shops/artisans on Etsy.
I love Etsy and love surprises!

I just came to your blog via the Spring Fling. Let's see, something you could help me with...at the moment my stubborn 20 month old daughter is screaming in her bed and refusing to go to sleep. You'd think I'd have mastered this by now, with her being my 3rd child. But girls are sooo different from boys!
What a fun giveaway. I would love to win! I am excited to look around. It sounds like your recipes are fabulous!
Thanks!

Love money saving times, something we all need during these difficult times.
I'd like you to write more about asking your readers for their opinions on 'what should I do', or 'which would you pick?', things like that! Vanessa, your sense of humor is hilarious and quirky!! My cat was giving me bizarre looks as I was lol'ing while reading your story about the child asking "let me see your uterus"!!! rofl! You've got a great writing talent! Thank you for the contest!

I haven't been reading your blog very long, so don't feel that I can really comment on what needs to be changed/added, etc. I do enjoy humorous stories, and almost any family can provide a large number of them. Congratulations on you Blogoversary!

I ama follower of your blog.
I'm always looking for ways to save (and make) money, so your frugal tips are my favorite thing -- if I have to pick one!
I just found your blog, and I'm impressed by your recipes - many of them have an edge that's just a little bit different (to my Yankee palate). I'd like to see more recipes like Bierocks - it seems very different to me - and, if possible, I'd love to see some pictures of the food (don't fancy them up...I like food photos to be just like you serve it at home). Hope you're not sorry you asked!
I'm now following your blog.

Happy blog anniversary.
Happy Blogiversary! One Year is quite an accomplishment! May you have another fun and happy Year! I was really intrigued by your post about the Total Focus program. I too have a son with ADHD and I would love it if you keep posting on how this program is working for your family. I know you are only 1 disk into the program so I think blogging about the program and the effects it is having would be interesting to read about. I hope you make progress in handling Tristen's ADHD and thank you for sharing your initial feelings about it. All my best to you and your family!

I love finding new recipes, especially spicy ones and those from other states and regions and Texas has some great ones! Thank you so much!
This may sound strange but reading about your son and his ADHD helps me. Not because I have a child with this but because I have a 14-year-old daughter who is causing our household a lot of grief right now. You said that you threaten grounding and he doesn't care, same here. Etc Etc. Reading how you deal with this is helping me find patience with my child. I told you that it might seem strange to you. :)
I am now following you
Helpful....the recipes!!
Fun? How your site looks!!Love your denim background and all the "country" type illustrations.
