First-Ever Giveaway Friday!


Happy Friday all! Welcome! Today I'm hosting my First-Ever Giveaway which includes 4 great treasures I've collected for you over the last few weeks. 1) A set of adorable puppy stickers, 2) a super-cute Korean panda notebook, 3) a Korean Story notebook, and 4) the book 40 Day Journey: Julian of Norwich. It's a wonderful book of wisdom, insight, and inspiration to read as you begin the terrific summer that is ahead. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment. A winner will be chosen at random tomorrow morning at 10am (Central Time), so just leave a comment by then! I will have it shipped to you tomorrow as well. Enjoy! I'm so thankful for you and your support of this blog!



And now our usual Friday routine: The Fantastic Friday 'Check it Out' List

Blogspiration: Boho Photography (This woman is a fantastic artist/photographer! I always leave her blog feeling inspired!)

Listen Up: Nomo (They've got a wonderful, unique sound; I learned about them last week.)

Podcast it Please: This I Believe (The series ended, but now they've revamped it in a fun way! They are using all sorts of old essays throughout the last 5 decades or so. I love it!)

Take a Look, in a Book: "The Secret Scripture" by Sebastian Barry (I got it from a friend yesterday, and I started it right away last night. So far I'm really enjoying it, and it has gotten amazing reviews).
A Movie Worth Watching: The Duchess (Originally I saw this in the theater with my friends Kristin and Paul; it's now out on DVD. Did you know Netflix has a category 'Emotional British Movies'? That's where I saw this movie listed. It's quite a good film, but be prepared; it is, indeed, an emotional British movie.)

  2. I loved the Dutchess, but it should have a warning not to watch if your pregnant or a new mom. I sobbed and sobbed while watching it, I could just feel her pain.

  4. Bribery and rewards will motivate many! But I enjoy your blog w/out such material stuffs, Em. Always a good read, thought provoking, often humorous and enlightening!
    Will check out the Friday CheckItOuts - btw, This I Believe was the theme of our Lenten mid-week services on internship. Six differing lay leaders were asked to answer "Where is God in your life" and other similar faith questions. It was very powerful!
