Walking on Sunshine

It was around Bridget's birthday (September) Trevor and I were talking about how she wasn't walking yet and if we should be concerned.

Trev: She's getting close, I bet she'll be walking by Halloween.

Ape: I don't know, she's not even wanting to walk holding our hands, I bet it will be closer to Thanksgiving.

Naturally we are a betting family, so the stakes were set. We decided on the day exactly in between Halloween and Thanksgiving, November 12th. If Bridget walked before that day Trevor won, and any day after, I won. 

(Walking meaning it was her primary mode of transport).

Whomever lost had to plan a romantic date for the other.

Bridget started walking...November 13th!

Sorry Trevor, you always sometimes lose.

She is such a cute walker:

And if you are curious, the romantic date Trevor planned:

   James Bond movie and the shooting range.

 Sometimes Trevor, you win.

  

You've Got Mail

But literally. 

Not even an email...

I participated in Gentri Lee's Send Something Good project. 

I received this package from Laura she lives in Canada. 

I love the postage.

First look, I see candy and chocolate, I can tell it's going to be good.

 She even sent a something for Bridget.

 She is so excited

 We LOVE books, and especially this book! 

 Look at all this awesome stuff she sent me! 

Can't wait to try the crepe recipe she sent, and use the darling cards she made. 

I love how she wrapped everything in old sewing patterns, 

so cute.

Best package ever!

Thank you Laura!!!!

And the Winners Are:

Thanks to everyone who entered the 200th Post Giveaway!

It even came down to the last hour, I was amazed.


Well to pick the winners I had a non-biased judge help:

She made sure all the names were mixed up really well.... really, really well.

Then she carefully decided which slip to choose.

This is the one, this is the winner.

We did get the three winners names, luckily, because it didn't take her long to figure out it was way more fun to dump out the paper and bang on the tin.

Drumroll.......

The winners are:


The mint sticks - Megan Richardson


The bottle of chicken - Elizabeth Downie


The Catnip & Fennel - Lindsay Brems


Congratulations! I am sure this is the best thing you have ever won, in your life.

Thanks!

I Won!

My friend Ashley has this great blog Between West and Main. 

She had a giveaway that I entered and I WON! 

I am so excited about it. 

Guess what it is?

It's Mindy Gledhill's new Christmas album!!

I got it in the mail a few days ago and we have listened to it non-stop.

It has really put us in the Christmas spirit.

And when it stops, we just want it to keep going, forever.

We highly recommend Mindy Gledhill's Winter Moon CD. It will forever be in our Christmas music collection.

p.s. winning something on a blog is like winning something on the radio so this totally counts towards my list! 

I love it when I get to cross things off a list.
