'Under the Barnyard Light' Book Giveaway

 Disclosure: We received a free product or discount code. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.

Under the Barnyard Light is a book written by Carla Crane Osborne that details a young girl helping to take care of the animals on her farm, after the sun has gone down. She is responsible, loving and warm. She is also very relatable to children. She's doing what she is supposed to do, but she's still expressing the feelings and thoughts that children her age might, while she is doing them.

A Housewarming/Birthday Gift because my Daughter is Mooooving

My daughter and her lil' family have outgrown their cute little place. This is their last month there, so to commemorate their time in that sweet little house, I have purchased this set from TreeSun Crafts (Etsy). Some of you know from a previous Wordless Wednesday post that I did, that these gorgeous Highland Cows are running around at her place, all day long. I think they're so incredibly great.  I'm going to miss them (and the peacocks that stroll around there too). I think when she sees these she'll get that good feeling that goes along with remembering where you started your family. Theresa from Theresa's Mixed Nuts made these, and if you've ever interacted with her, you know she has a knack for making things look amazing. It's no surprise to me that she started an Etsy shop, and it will be no surprise to me when it takes off and becomes very successful (which it already has quickly started to become) because I know she is the kind of person who puts in the heart, and the hard work. That's why she has such a loyal following on her blog, and people all over the country (and even outside of it) who are crazy about her even though they've never met her in person (raising my hand over here).

Amber Driftwood Scentworx Giveaway

 Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post. I was not paid to write about the products. I did receive samples or discount prices, but my opinions remain genuine and my own.

Succulent, juicy and true to the scent, that's how I would accurately describe these VEGAN FRIENDLY body mist sprays from Scentworx. They are made with essential oils, so maybe that is why they are so yummy, delicious, good. Whatever the reason, this is a great way to start out the new year, with a big surprise product I never would have thought to buy until I tried it. Why?
