My Favorite Things Holiday Giveaway: Win a $500 Amazon Gift Card! [CLOSED]
Happy December 12th! I am SO excited to begin counting down the 12 days of Christmas!
You guys have been asking me left and right if I’d be holding another 12 Days of Christmas vlogging series this year. While I’d love to, all we’re REALLY doing over here is cuddling a newborn. But!

These giveaways are not sponsored and are given by me to show how much I appreciate you being here. I LOVE YOU! Thank you for stopping by this rambly corner of the internet every day. It seriously means the WORLD to me.
To kick things off on this first day of Christmas, I’m giving away two $500 amazon gift cards! This gift card will be sent to you electronically, so you will receive it well before Christmas. Like you will receive it two or three days from now.

My favorite memory of this year is easy-my husband donated a kidney to a friend this year, and the best memory was getting to see him after he was out of surgery. Seeing him smile and knowing he was okay made my year!

My favourite memory would be…. simple summer nights, with good friends and family. Huddled around the fire in the back yard…. with good food and drinks.
My favorite memory of 2017 so far is actually a series of moments watching my husband blossom into the most amazing father to our baby boy, who was born on Christmas Day last year! (P.S. I already follow on Instagram, but I don’t have Facebook so I can’t follow there too! :( Hopefully this still counts!)

Bringing home my baby girl on Christmas Day. She was born on Christmas Eve and we got to bring her home from the hospital Christmas day!
It’s so hard to pick one! Professionally, it was getting a exciting opportunity and promotion that I had worked really hard for, and having us succeed in our first year. Personally, it was waking up for sunrise right outside Yellowstone National Park this summer – so quiet, peaceful, and beautiful.
So far my favorite 2017 memory is watching my baby turn in to a toddler. It melts and breaks my heart at the same time. I love seeing the kiddo he’s becoming. Being able to see Christmas through his eyes this year has been the sweetest part of the season.

This was a fast year! My favorite memory is the final college graduation for my 5 kids
My favorite memory this year was when I moved home from Minnesota and surprised my nana because she didn’t know I was back. She was in the hospital and I came in to visit, her face was so excited and it was great. She recently passed so I hold that memory of the spring a little closer to my heart than before.

My favorite memory is the day I spotted a litter of kittens in my backyard over the summer, and knew right away that some of them were going to end up resident cats. We kept two kittens, and two went to a rescue group. We LOVE our new family members. :)
My favorite memory of the year – hard to pick just one! My favorite is all the hilarity at our house. It’s not just a one-time memory, but all the times we’ve laughed so hard we were crying. Everyone should laugh that hard at least once a week!
2017 has been kind of a weird/tough/emotional/stressful year, but my favorite memory was a trip my husband planned to the North Shore of Lake Superior–to go dogsledding!

My favorite memory is the birth of my son in January (second baby). He is a joy and brings happiness to our lives everyday.
My favorite memory of 2017 was a perfect weekend birthday trip in early May. It’s a touristy spot but hadn’t quite “opened” for the season so there was almost nobody around. My idea of a great little vacation!
My favorite memory from 2017 was watching my daughter walk across the stage for her college diploma. Such a proud mama moment!

I follow you on both Facebook and Instagram. One of my favorite memories from 2017 is our trip up the coast – we watched the sunrise on Assateague island (saw some wild ponies) and it was truly worth getting up so early. Also, getting a picture from my parents of them with my brother- his first day out of rehab – his smile and overall happiness cannot be matched!
My favorite memory of the year was our first vacation as a family of 4 to Oregon! Our younger son was born on Dec. 1 last year and we’ve enjoyed all the adventures we’re had since he’s joined the family! And I preordered your book like the the second it was available for preorder :)
Fave memory this year going to the ocean with my three babies!!
My favorite memory of 2017 was my twin son’s first birthday. They were born at only 25 weeks and spent 87 days in the hospital. We are incredibly thankful every day that we have them with us and it was so special to celebrate their first birthday.
My favorite memory was probably getting to travel with my husband up to Alaska this summer! So beautiful! Okay and this might be lame but probably a close 2nd was getting to do baby goat yoga! Haha
