Post 1,000 Giveaway


Today is my 1,000th post! Hooray! Wahoo! Yeehaw!

For the occasion, I thought I should have a giveaway. That is, I thought I should let someone else give something away. :)

My friend Liz is one of the sweetest, kindest people I know. She was one of my husband's best friends growing up, and she and her family are still an important part of our life.

Several years ago, Liz gave birth to her sweet little girl Micah very prematurely...I can't remember exactly, but I think at about 31 weeks. She was tiny - 1 lb and 14 oz, and the size of a bottle of Coke. Now Micah is an adorable bundle of yellow curls.

Unfortunately, Liz's emergency c-section with Micah led to complications in her second pregnancy, and they lost Liam last year. The doctors told Liz and Joe the devastating news that they couldn't have any more children.

So Liz and Joe have decided to adopt!

What does this have to do with a giveaway? Well, Liz is going to have a swell fundraiser to raise funds for her adoption. She'll be raffling off illustrious prizes such as a glossy, signed photo of me. OK, not really. The prizes are way better than that.

So to kick off her fundraiser, she's giving away two lovely pairs of earrings, just for leaving a comment on her blog. How generous! Head over to her blog to leave a comment and remember to come back August 13th for the fundraiser!
