3 yr Anniversary…Time for a GIVEAWAY!!

This week marks 3 WHOLE years since Dakota’s accident. It probably sounds like a weird time to want to do a giveaway but these 3 years have been a journey that has taught me more then the almost 30 years I have been on this earth combined. So…it is a time to celebrate!!

I will post more about my feelings of this 3 year mark soon, but I wanted to start this week off celebrating YOU readers who have given me strength, courage, love, kindness, encouragement, and inspiration to keep moving forward one step at a time. I know I have said it before but this blog was never meant to be anything but a family journal to me. BUT after Dakota’s accident it became my outlet to share all of my deepest feelings both horrible and wonderful. A place wear I could be completely honest about my feelings…I could cry and type and not know who was listening. No one had to see me cry in the process of letting it all out. And when I was done I could take a deep breath and I could let it all go until my next meltdown. It has also been a way to celebrate the things we have learned and the progress Dakota has made. I am in awe at how many people have fallen in love with my sweet angel boy.

I can honestly say…this blog has meant more then I ever could have imagined it being. It has brought me friendships over miles and miles with people I have never even met but that I love and adore. It has connected me to others who have struggled on life’s difficult path with their own tragedies and has helped me see that I am not alone in this journey.

SO…this giveaway is a HUGE thank you to ALL of you who have EVER left a comment or even taken the time to read my story and let me vent to you. Thank you for listening! ;)

SO…on to the fun part!!!

IF you haven’t noticed from pictures of me on my blog I have a bit of an “OBSESSION” with headbands. I LOVE them. In fact I think I am a horder of headbands. If I walk into any store no matter what type…I seem to always find myself looking at the headbands. I just love them for the fact that on a bad hair day or a lazy hair day they can dress you up and make it a great hair day. They are a simple thing that can add SO much! I love them to workout or run in because they keep the hair off my face or even cover my ears to keep them warm on a cold day. I LOVE them!!!!

My horder drawer full will prove it to you! ;)

There she is folks…all sizes, colors, and patterns! I need a bigger drawer!!!

One of my dear friends Sarahn must have the same obsession I do because she decided to start her own business of making headbands! I couldn’t have been more excited when I saw all of her fun fabrics on instagram. I ordered 4 right away!!!

She has most graciously allowed me to give away TWO of her AMAZING headbands to 2 of my AMAZING readers!!! This is just a tiny sample of some of the awesome styles and patterns she has available.


Isn’t she a hottie!!! I’m dying over the new faux leather one and the half camo and green one!!!
