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.)

What an amazing giveaway! My favorite moment of this summer was what could have been a very mundane occasion — sitting around on our town plaza drinking iced coffee on a weekend afternoon — BUT THEN! A very excited golden retriever tore across the plaza and jumped directly into the fountain in the middle! He paddled and splashed for quite some time before jumping out. That was perhaps the happiest dog ever. :) Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
My favourite thing about this Summer has to be spending quality time with my sisters doing everything from chilling out to road-trips to baking and braiding each others hair. Bliss.

This giveaway is awesome! My magic moment of the summer was staying out super late with my husband and extended family on a beach vacation. Lots of good food and great conversations.
Magic moment: My daughter decided to have a small intimate wedding in our back yard. Complete with a sit down dinner on the deck for 25 people. July 12 was a fabulous day, beautiful weather and the wedding was perfect. They got married in the backyard, in front of an arch that they had crafted from vine maple adorned with flowers. The dinner was delicious from the local greens mixed salad, grilled fresh northwest salmon, garlic rice pilaf, grilled veggies and choice of coconut cake made by her aunt, carrot cake made my her mom and lemon cheese from her grandmother’s recipe. Family, friends and good food!

Magical summer moment – family dinners during vacation listening to the rain from the screened in porch when adults have too much wine, and kids have too much sugar and a fun time is had by all.
