This is my 500th post! That's a lot of writing in 5 years! It means so much to me that you come here day after day and read. Even more, I love it when you take the time to leave me a comment or send me an email. I wish I was better at responding to each of them. Please know that I read every single one and they make me smile.
I wanted to do something special for you, so I hired my graphic designer (my husband- wink wink!) to make some fun posters. These were inspired by something similar that I saw on Pinterest a while ago. I spent a little time coming up with my own words...
Venn diagrams are great don't you think? I'm very visual and there's something about that sweet spot in the middle where it all comes together. I'm giving away 5!
(These are 11x17 and printed on 32lb weight paper)
Please leave a comment (maybe you could tell me what your favorite post was?) and I'll pick 5 winners on Friday! Good luck!

This is by far my favourite blog...just because you inspire me to be creative in the home ( all your knitting and baking ideas..) and always seem very enthusiastic about life!
Congrats on 500 posts!

I love your posts on childbirth. I read and reread them all the time.

Your blog is by far one of my favs. You are always so inspiring! I LOVE the good morning one and the family one. I really hope you plan to sell them
On Etsy! I would scoop up both of them! :-)

I LOVE the coffee one! I love the colors and simplicity, and of course the message. You definitely have a top 5 spot in my favorite blogs, and I can't even name the other 4:)

I have never missed one of your posts, and think any of these would make a great addition to tractor macs

I really love all your posts...you are quite inspiring. But if I had to pick I guess I'd say I love it when you talk homeschooling and diet and beauty the most.
Thank you for the opportunity to win such a lovely giveaway!

Much love,

I keep reading because you are so real, you look for the good, acknowledge the difficult, share your tips and tricks, and generally just give hope. Thank you.
My favorite post? Ah, there are so many. I go back to your posts about what you give your friends for gifts (inspiration for giving to my own friends) as well as your homeschooling posts. But the one that sticks out in my mind is where one of your girls had decorated her room during the holidays with twinkle lights. It made me race around looking for some twinkle lights to magic-ify (it could be a word) my own girls' room.

Libby~
I love how honest you are about homeschooling...the awesome days and the tough ones. It's nice to know others are experiencing the same things!!! And, by the way, I'm totally a blog stalker...we know so many of the same people yet have never met ;-)

Happy 500th post! I'm not quite sure where I'm at in my tally of post, but certainly no where near there. Can I thank you for something that may sound odd...thank you for not selling out. There are so few blogs that I find now a days that aren't about selling their current item, another person's item, or giving their over glamorized review of a product that you know they'd never in a million years truly use. I just appreciate reading your posts because they are so real. And on that note, don't put my name in the drawing, I am terrible at decorating right now and I'd hate for your beautifully inspired works of art to not make it up in my house due to my current stage of...hmmm...decorating laziness!
I just really wanted to comment, tell you that I hope you have another amazing 500 posts just waiting to share :) Take care and enjoy the increasingly beautiful weather.

Favourite post??? There are too many!!! You inspire me as a mother and a creator of things! I absolutely LOVE those Venn diagrams!

Oh they are all so fabulous!!! Gosh, I'm just realizing that this is the first time I've commented even though I've been following your blog for a few years! I love all of you r posts about homeschooling, especially since we've decided to start out HSing our preschooler. Always helps to have your honesty about the fun parts mixed with the parts that make you want to quit, it makes me feel like I'm not alone!

Happy 500 posts! I think I may have read all of them! And I love them all; I love your blog! You have such interesting and real-to-life things to share. But if I were going to pick a favorite it would be when you gave birth to Ian. I love the pictures of you and Carl and my most favorite of all is the family photo at the end. You all look so happy with the new baby there with you. Simply heart melting. Please keep writing. I come here everyday during my lunch break at work and it helps me relax and get my mind settled before having to start back to work again.

I love how you approach choices- kids education, eating... And those diagrams are fabulous! I also live in Dallas and your pics make me jealous regularly.

These prints are so cute. I would love a chance to win. : ) I think that my favorite posts from your blog are the ones that show pictures of Wenatchee. It's my hometown, though I now live in Kirkland. So it's fun seeing little glimpses of home through your photos. I love everything you write though.
