Can’t wait to get it!” Congrats Beth! I’ve sent you an email. Again, thank you ALL so much for entering and for your support. xoxoxo]
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 favorite moment has not yet happened, but it will this weekend when I go to Montana to see my brother in Montana Shakespeare in the Park! So excited.
My magic moment from this summer was when my husband and I made settlement on our first home! There is no other feeling quite like finally buying your own home and stepping inside for the first time as homeowners. The magical moment still happens when I look around my house and just think how much i love it!
Love this giveaway! My magic moment was finding the path after we got lost and had to camp in the bush for one night at Cathedral provincial park. Tiffanymatthe@gmail.com
So many magical moments. Like watching my youngest have an exciting summer as she travelled to the Dominican Republic on a mission trip, got her nose and ears pierced, met her best FB friend from TX in person for the first time in 4 years and had a rooftop sweet 16! As for me, I’ve just loved eating my home grown tomatoes.

My magical moment was all about my kids. My son was born in June, and while that was definitely a mixture of magic and pain and emotion all wrapped into one, what really made that day special was seeing my daughter’s face light up when she saw her baby brother for the first time. She instantly fell in love with him, and I fell in love with her all over again.

I got a rescue puppy at the beginning of the summer. To my surprise, she magically is a corgi mix(!!) which I’ve always dreamed about having one. It’s always magical to watch something grow. :)
Love you and your blog! This summer I moved to Colorado Springs for an internship and ended up meeting the love of my life…the craziest part is that we are both go to the same school! We have been hiking, fishing, and camping and I really don’t want to head back east in a month!
My magic moment was snorkeling in the Domincan Republic!

My magical “moment” was just enjoying as much time with my girls as I possibly could which was a little difficult being a working mom now and trying to make everyday a little more fun. :)

My favorite summer moment was when I surprised my boyfriend and took him on a hot air balloon ride! I woke him up super early, didn’t tell him where we were going, and we watched the sun rise as we floated up above the trees. Such a stunning sight!
My magic moment was my niece being born at the start of summer!

My best summer moment was hosting all of my nearest and dearest at the beach for a weekend – everyone’s silence meant that my dinner was pretty darn good.
