baby’s first birthday

Guess who is turning one today? My sweet, little blog baby. It seems like only yesterday that I brought her into this world. I remember so vividly the months leading up to her arrival. What should I call her? Do I have enough love to go around? Is Sonic open at midnight… I need a banana split.

Just like all newborns, she wasn’t very active (or cute) to begin with. She did, however, require constant attention. There were many sleepless nights spent reading and replying to your many comments (cough cough). It was all worth it, because I have truly enjoyed her first year. Thanks BC for setting up this website, and for saying I wouldn’t use it. You know how much I like to prove you wrong.

Now what is a birthday without presents? My sweet friend, Amanda, is a stylist for Stella and Dot. If you haven’t heard of Stella and Dot, you must check it out. They carry great (affordable) jewelry, and you can purchase it online or at trunk shows. I got one of my favorite necklaces from Amanda, and added a locket that SK gave me for my 30th birthday. Gasp. You totally thought I was still in my twenties, right? RIGHT?

In honor of my blog baby turning one, I will be giving away this pair of Stella and Dot earrings. They. Are. Bananas. (Ugh. Now I’m thinking about Sonic again.)

For a chance to win, leave a comment below. Guys, (I know you are out there) do it for your lady friend. Think about it. The chance of winning is very high since only you and my mom read this, and she isn’t eligible. Sorry, Nan. A winner will be chosen at random next week. Good luck!
