If there is one thing that I am a complete sucker for it is cookies.

Maybe it is because I have never been a fan of pies & cakes, so cookies were my spoils of choice for things like birthdays.  Or maybe it is because there are almost endless flavors of cookies, and I like to try them all.  Or maybe they are just tasty and I have no willpower.

You know when cookies are the very best?  When they are delivered.
Know when they are better than that?  When they are free.

I am lucky enough to team up with some pretty sweet (pun totally intended) bloggers and Cookie Gift Baskets to bring you the most delicious giveaway you’ll find.

Cookie Gift Baskets is giving THREE winners their choice between these fancy cookie treats.  Yup, I’ll go ahead and say it…they are the icing on my cookie. all smiles cookie pot The All Smiles Cookie Pot features a dozen amazing cookies arranged into a colorful bouquet.  The best part is you get your choice of cookie flavors. happy faces cookie box gift box set The cheerful Happy Faces Cookie Gift Box is perfect to bring to work and sweeten up your boss. There is something for everyone in this variety pack. happy faces cookie pail How charming is the Happy Faces Cookie Pail.  It holds 8 of our cutout cookies that are decorated with bright yellow butter crème frosting and then dotted with eyes and a happy grin! smiley face planter My favorite is the Smiley Face Planter, since I am in backyard beautification mode.  And who doesn’t love a cute planter?  Especially when it feeds you sugar and then sprouts an herb mullet.

All I am saying is that my birthday is coming up, and I like this.

Now let’s get down to business….the cookie business.
Enter using this fancy Rafflecopter thing, super easy.

You know I love to tell you all about great new products and sites….well I have a new addiction for you.

It is Keep.com

It is basically the epitome of Christmas lists.

You know how on Pinterest you pin ideas and cute stuff and you usually end up DIYing your own version.  And you know how you find a cute product that you want to buy but can never find the original source.  Here is your solution, put your internet beakers down little miss social scientist.

Keep is a product-based wish list.  You get to peruse pretty things and have the option to “keep” it and add it to your collections or you can “buy” the item.

Hello window shopping, easier than ever.

I will be using Keep to send my gift list out this year, hint hint Timmy.

You can find my measly beginnings here.

But the real story is that they are doing giveaways….oh hello we-love-free-stuff.  Today you can win this sweet thang.

All you gots to do is create an account, it’s free because I got your back y’all.

Then “keep” the gift of the day to one of your collections.  There are still a few days left with lots of great gifts, but folks please back off the adorable North Face vest because I got dibs mmmkay.

Would you believe me if I told you a month ago I wrote about our precious honey boo boo child.

Yea…me neither.  But you better believe we are going to celebrate it like an eighth grade romance.

Even more unbelievable is how amazing my mom has been…visiting the site over 6,000 times.  Thanks mom!

Ok but seriously, this blows my mind. 

I guess it surprises me because I assumed the only people who would actually read what we wrote would be my family and maybe one or two friendlies.  And while I am sure they make up the majority of that number, I still am amazed that we got over 6,700 views in just a month.

Yes, I realize for most bloggers this number is puny.

We are not most bloggers….so we need to show you all our UNDYING GRATITUDE for coming and reading what we have to say.  Even if it is just once, we are glad you are here.

We love writing about our adventures, but we love it even more when you all enjoy reading it.

I hope this post doesn’t come off pretentious or braggy…I am just over the moon with excitement that people may actually smile because of something they read here.  Seriously, comments and messages make me as giddy as a Bieber fan.

So we are going to encourage them….and bribe you.

We are giving away a $50 gift card to celebrate our big one month.  Consider it like that awkward rose your eighth grade boyfriend gave you in honor of this momentous occasion.

You want in on the fun, all you have to do is subscribe.

Go to the right sidebar, find the little box that says, “Don’t miss a post” and enter your email.  Then just hit sign me up and you are in.

You will have to confirm from your email inbox, don’t forget that part!
There is nothing to pay for, and no cancellation fee or anything.  No worries, just fun.

Once you subscribe, you will get an email when we write up a new post.  So you will be all up in the know.  But that’s it, no spam…cross my heart.

Your odds of winning are pretty good since we are such a new blog, so go subscribe.  We will be picking our winner on Tuesday, September 4th.

And now for my favorite part of blogging, the love.

I am getting this collage of encouragement framed, because these comments mean more to me than chocolate-covered bacon.  That’s really saying something.

HAPPY ONE MONTH LITTLE DIGGITYS!!!!
