I am so excited about this blog giveaway! Some friends of ours in Northern California have started a company called Blackflower & Company   and we're doing a blog giveaway with them here! I received my tea a few days ago and it is, hands down, the best peach ginger tea I've ever had. I wanted to help them get word about their business spread and in the meantime, one of you gets to win pretty cool prizes :)  The prize is 2 (4 oz.) bags of tea {your choice} and one of their very special teapots!  This is an awesome giveaway, valued higher than $30  Here are the rules to follow:   enter a comment in this post  If you'd like to go to their website 1st, you can look around and let us know what flavor tea you'd chose and which color teapot you'd like if you win.   If you have a Facebook account, be sure to 'like' them on FB and then  you get to leave a 2nd comment here, letting me know and it will increase   your chances of win...

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be ...
