400th Post & 1st Giveaway!

Poll Closed and the WINNNER IS.... Drum Roll Please..........

STEPHANIE @ Baseballs and Tutu's! YAY Steph! We have been blogger pals for a long time and it feels so right for her to have won since she has probably read and commented on at least half of my 400 posts. Thanks to everyone who participated and hello to my new followers. Sit back and I hope you enjoy our beautiful but sometimes crazy life of a blog.

I thought for a while about what I wanted to say today to mark the 400th post of my little online journal we call "My 3 B's & Me" Somewhere that I have spent countless hours talking about me, my family, my friends, my hobbies, my passions, and my life!

You guys are an amazing community and group of people that I call "friends". You take time out of your busy lives to leave me thoughtful, heartfelt comments. You are kind, compassionate and are always here to offer support, share knowledge, encourage, and give great advice. Every comment that is left on this blog is read, appreciated and brings a big smile to my face.

I looked back at my first post and to what seems forever ago also feels like yesterday. I started this blog with intentions of keeping a online journal for my kids to be able to read one day, family to see that lives across the country, friends to keep up with our lives since we don't get to see them very often as we would like and to find other mothers like myself that has many things in common with me. Never did I ever think that my blog would grow into something so much more. Something that I like to call a community of friendship that I have grown to love. My blogging has taken me to so many different places and connected me to people that I would have never imagined. Never did I for once think I would have 158 followers. 158 people that like my blog enough to keep me in your reader and list of favorites. Makes me feel so good and all warm and fuzzy. :)

You are all very special and so inspiring to me and I just wanted to take this time to say THANK YOU for all of your support and encouragement throughout the years.

Finally, because you all have been such good sports about my sporadic posting and addiction in sharing adorable pictures of my kids, I leave you with this: My 1st Giveaway - What better than two of my favorite things... Kitchen decor and gift card from Target! You know you wanna "Spice Things Up" so how cute is this!
