A birthday, a blogoversary, and a giveaway!

Hi, everyone! I hope you're all having a great week. It's been a busy one here. I have some catching up to do here at home and at work after being sick, but it will get done...all in due time!

I've started working on our taxes too...not fun, but necessary. At least we're not going to owe anything this year, so that is good news! :)

Katie's birthday was yesterday, now she's 14...hard to believe! Time seems to fly by so fast. She went snow tubing yesterday with her class and had a wonderful time! We're going to have a little party for her on Sunday afternoon, so she's looking forward to that. We usually do something before her birthday, but with all of us being sick, we just weren't able to get it all together in time.

Here she is yesterday at Chick-fil-A. Her class stopped there to eat after they finished snow tubing. They all had fun with the cow. :)

Yesterday was also my two-year blogoversary. I have made so many sweet friends since I started my blog. I enjoy visiting you and seeing what you're doing. Thank you for being my friend.

Before I go, I want to let you know about a giveaway my friend is having. Laura, from All Good Gifts, is giving away three thread catchers that she made...very neat little gadgets! Her giveaway ends Feb. 11th, so hurry on over and enter. She is a very sweet friend, and I'm sure she'd love to have you stop by.

Enjoy the rest of your week! Thanks for stopping by.

Take care,
~Melanie

  18. Well I'm glad everyone is finally feeling better at your home. Seems to make the rounds no matter how careful one is.

    Congratulations on 2 years...sometimes we think we don't have much to talk about but if we last 2 years I think we have lots to say.
    I love your blog...keep on going!
