J is for Jordy Giveaway on Facebook

Hey everyone! Are you having fun at the link party? I hope so! I'm inspired each and every week!

I wanted to let all my blog friends know I have a great giveaway that just started on Facebook. I am giving away a boutique print from J is for Jordy to you and 2 of your friends! I first discovered J is for Jordy at an adorable boutique market in my hometown. I fell in love with her prints and just had to introduce you to her shop! Amy is the sweetest and is so generous to give away 3 of her prints {note: online they are listed as instant downloads, but winners will receive actual prints in the mail!}. I have one of her prints up in Ava's nursery. It is a lyric from one of my favorite songs, Mine by Taylor Swift: "You are the best thing that's ever been mine." This song was referred to me by one of my besties - when I was going through a particularly hard time - she said it reminded her of Conrad and me - and she was super right. Now, we have a new little bundle that is the best thing that's ever been ours.   :)

New Year's Eve "Midnight Kisses"

Happy New Year's Eve! 

Are you ready to get your party on? We are celebrating with friends and can't wait to ring in the new year. 2013 has been a BIG one for me. Mainly, being a mom to a now 1-year old baby girl. It has been a complete life adjustment going from full time working wife to full time home with baby mom. I've learned a lot about myself I like, and a lot I don't like and need to work on. It's been UP and it's been DOWN, but thankfully mainly UP. I can without a doubt say this has been the best year of my entire life. The joy Ava brings into our family can't be spoken. I can't wait to see what 2014 brings for my little family. But before that all happens, we have to party away 2013! 

I'm sharing a cute treat for New Year's Eve.

MIDNIGHT KISSES. Two of my favorite things: chocolate + kisses. This simple New Year's treat would make the perfect addition to your party spread or how about package it up cute and give it to someone you love? I'm using it both ways, because I just can't get enough. 

I made one version of Midnight Kisses to give to my husband as a New Year's gift. I cut out circles from printer paper (0.88" round), wrote reasons why I love him on the circles, then glued them onto the bottom of several kisses. It was SO easy. Just make sure you right on the circles before you glue them on! You could also use the circle stickers found in the office supply section, but I just wanted to use what I had on hand {paper, scissors and a glue stick!}. I then put them in a cute polka dot treat box I got from Target for $1. It was a simple and yummy way to give my love a few extra midnight kisses.

The second way I used them was in a treat dish! I made a Midnight Kiss circle dot in various colors to attach the same way. You could even make a cute placecard that says "Midnight Kisses" for your treat table. This is a easy, quick treat, if you need something last minute for New Year's Eve tonight! I've included the downloads for the blank dots and the color dots below!
