Hiiiii.
So. I know I’m not a huge giveaway person, but I am totally blown away by your support and love and all that jazz lately, especially for Seriously Delish and how you’ve completely changed my life. I want to do, well… SOMETHING for each and every one of you and since I can’t buy you all a cocktail with a hug, I figured a giveaway of my favorite things would have to do.
This giveaway is from ME to YOU. I want to show you how much I appreciate you coming here everyday, the encouragement you’ve given me and your all around virtual fabulousness. You really do complete me, Jerry Maguire style. THANK YOU!
See below on how to enter to win all of these goods!
1. This Rebecca Minkoff Crosby tote. It’s no secret how much I love love love my mac clutch bags and mini macs. And my cupid satchel. I love every bag she makes and am totally drooling over this for fall.
2. Jeni’s ice cream! 4 pints to be exact. This should last you, like… five minutes.
3. A Vitamix blender. I’ve become the biggest hypocrite on the planet because for years I said I’d never buy one and would rather buy shoes. But I took the plunge earlier this year and it was seriously LIFE CHANGING. Talk about the thickest milkshake-like smoothies and the creamiest soups. To die for.
4. One year subscriptions to my favorite foodie magazines: Donna Hay and Delicious. These are my go-to for photography inspiration. LOVE. Nothing else compares in my opinion.
5. A fit bit flex. It’s been close to a year since I’ve gone on and on about my fit bit. I completely adore it – not as a workout tool, but more so as a reminder to live an active lifestyle.
6. Two of my favorite books: the Flavor Bible and Bird by Bird. One of the most frequently asked questions I get is how do I come up with recipes – and one of the answers is the Flavor Bible! If I really want to make something with a certain ingredient, I’ll search it and see what flavors pair the best. And Bird by Bird… well it’s a classic that gets me through life. Pretty much.
7. Ummm…. chocolate? Do I really need to explain this one? This is one of my favorites. I need to share.
8. Gift cards to some of my favorite places: $50 to each. One to Sephora, one to Athleta and one to Starbucks. Because I’m a sucker. (if you don’t like coffee GET THE CROISSANT!)
And lastly – this colorful set of my favorite le pen pens and a moleskin notebook (MY LOVE!). It’s school supply time people!! But really, these pens are the bomb dot com. (sorry.)

My magic moment of the summer was when my younger brother came to visit me in Philadelphia for the weekend of the 4th of July and we watched the fireworks from the Philly Art Museum together :)
My magic moment this summer was taking our daughter to Disneyland and watching her light up every time she saw a character from “Winnie the Pooh. She recently inherited my aunt’s old Pooh bear when my aunt passed, so it’s a sweet link from the past to the future to see something they have in common.
Thanks for the contest opportunity!
Wow, what a giveaway! I have two magic moments – couldn’t
possibly choose between them! First would be watching my little guy take his first steps and second is seeing my dad, who is battling cancer, rocking a full head of hair and looking better than he has in years!
My magical moment of the summer was finally getting to enjoy fresh raspberries straight from my garden while they were still warm from the sun!

My most magic moment this summer was watching the sun set over the St. Lawrence river while a good friend played Simon & Garfunkle records. It felt AMAZINGLY SURREAL.
And OF COURSE I preordered Seriously Delish – can’t waaaaaait!
Ahhhh, what an amazing giveaway! This summer has been full of many struggles, including our car breaking down and having to take our bikes everywhere. But, there is a silver lining, because I’ve gotten pretty fit doing so!

My magic moment this summer was bitter sweet – eating Mexican food and drinking iced coffee with my hubby in our hotel room the night he deployed.
Finding out that I will welcome a baby girl next February!
Experiencing my best friend get married and being in her wedding then turning around the next weekend to have my boyfriend’s best friend get married (he the best man). I never knew he could publicly express such kind and sweet words of advice and love until he gave his speech (we’ve dated for 6+ years). He hates public speaking and did beautifully. Those were a few of my summer, and life highlights!!!
My magic moment this summer was waking up and realizing that I’m retired now…then rolling over and going back to sleep!
My magical moment this summer was when my daughter told me that she has “really strong feelings’ for me! I guess that is her 8 year old way to articulate how much she loves me!

Of course I pre-ordered your book! I can’t wait!

Easy – magic moment was watching two great friends get married to each other!
I started in a new position where I have been for 9 years. I’m finally doing something I love!
wow what an incredible giveaway.
My summer moment was probably hiking in Breckenridge, CO. SO amazingly beautiful up there!
My favorite moment this summer was taking my 7 year old nephew on a road trip to a big cat sanctuary. He’s obsessed with leopards, tiger, lions and cheetahs and was freaking out when he finally got the chance to see all of them up close!! So fun!
So many wonderful moments this summer! But If I had to choose, I’d go with hot summer days at the pool with the kiddos!
My magic moment form this summer (and basically all of life) was seeing that “positive” appear on that home pregnancy test!
My magic moment probably would be the week I spent on vacation with my family in the UP.

This was kind of a tough summer- I moved to a new city and started a demanding job. But I had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend visiting old friends!
My magic moment started at the beginning of the summer with my son’s college graduation. Seeing him walk across the stage as he received his diploma made me so proud :)

This summer was one of my hardest yet. But i tried to find a little bit of magic in every day. Overall, the most magical part was the relationship I was able to build with a few Mexican immigrants as I conversed with them in broken Spanish. I learned that some people live far harder lives yet work far harder than I. Also, the most magical moment of the fall would be getting selected by you!
My magic moment was a business trip turned vacation to New Orleans with the hubby!! Sooo much delicious food!
