I honestly believe there’s nothing that girlfriends, a hearty slice of chocolate cake and a safe place to catch up can’t fix. Between the cake and the love all the aching nooks and crannies get filled right up. You know what I mean, right?
Well, today some of my favorite friends from the Internet are stopping by with all kinds of delicious to share with you all. I’m delighted to welcome:
- Jessica from The Mom Creative – she scrap books, crafts, co-hosts an online book club and is the best encourager I know.
- The Nester, from Nesting Place – one of the few home blogs that doesn’t make my house blush, but helps it feel welcome just as it is.
- Jessica from Allora Handmade – I double dog dare you to resist her pretty necklaces!
- Megan from Sorta Crunchy – author of just about the only parenting book I haven’t thrown out the window.
- Kristen from We Are That Family – a real, live, in the skin, change the world hero who loves ice cold, sweet tea and just got back from Kenya.
- Lindsey from The Pleated Poppy – if you haven’t heard of “What I Wore Wednesday” you must stop by Lindsey’s place and be inspired!
- Hayley from The Tiny Twig – visionary and champion of reminding us to do less as a way to being more.
- Kristen from Rage Against the Mini Van – impossible to read about the Howerton family’s Haitian adoption journey without getting chills and the urge to want to change the world.
We thought it might be a fun way to introduce you to each other by means of a great, big, beautiful, bloggy giveaway.

The Pleated Poppy Shop link doesn’t work from the widget
Hey Linds,
I just went and tried it and it’s working for me. Give it another go?
Doesn’t work or me either! Strange!
It doesn’t work for me either. Tried re-freshing and that didn’t work…
And you all are sure you’re logged into Facebook, right?
Logged in on facebook and it’s not working for me. It says the permissions on that page are not set to be available to us. Something with privacy settings I think?
The Gypsy Mama link didn’t work for me at first so I just refreshed my page and it was fine and saved all the info I had already given.
Got them all to work for me, although it took The Pleated Poppy Shop a second try. Fingers crossed here in Ohio!!!
Awesome! You are all amazing and inspiring! Thank you!!!
Hi, I entered even though I am Canadian. I have a lovely friend in the US who would happily love any prize that may come my way
Happy Party Day!
Still can’t access it
But it doesn’t matter because it is only open to US readers. I LOATHE restricted giveaways! Oh well.
Oh I feel your pain – I wish I could enter to win all that awesomeness as well!!

Love it, what a beauty – filled post! Both the women and the prizes! I am in.
Thanks for all the fun new (to me) blogs!
How exciting!! Thank you for the heads up. Free stuff is always awesome, but when you get to “meet” new people in the process, and when it’s FANTASTIC stuff from DaySpring and other beautiful sources…even better!
What a great way to introduce us to your friends and their blogs…love that rafflecopter link too!
Thanks for the giveaway! I’m looking forward to getting to know these fun ladies.
I’m here for the summer super giveaway — I’m here FROM the summer super giveaway! I am really enjoying all of the ladies participating – even though I am not young, thin, and tall, and my kids are grown. Fortunately, I’m the exact sort of old dog who LOVES learning new tricks!
Would love to win! Great giveaway!
So exciting…thanks for all your encouragement and passion for new moms to walk strong.
I loved the rafflecopter thing. I need to try that one of these days! I liked every page and now I am going to go check them out. THANK YOU for such a cool giveaway!
Thank you for offering this fabulous giveaway! All of the links worked for me!
What an amazing Giveaway! I would love to win these!
It worked finally! I had some trouble there for a few hours.
Thank you so much for a chance to win & for sharing your blogs. Looking forward to reading a lot more!
I forgot to mention I’m super excited to see the “Redeemed” mat! I missed getting it when it was on sale last month due to our budget and when our internet started working again the sale was over.
But I’m praying perhaps I might have a chance. 
31234 entries! I have a good feeling about this. I’m going to be the lucky one.
