A common theme that I have noticed throughout the blogging community is that most of us
(especially moms) don't take enough time to do nice things for ourselves. We are so busy taking care of our children, homes and husbands that we spend way too much time in yoga pants.
(Wait, is that just me?) I know I always tend to look forward to my birthday and special occasions
because they can quickly become the best days ever!
While there is nothing wrong with choosing to be a stay-at-home-mom, I love seeing other women branch out, start their own businesses, keep working and still cultivate those important relationships. So, for Part II of Blog Bash I am teaming up with Brittany and her amazing shop
Peas and Carrots for an accessory themed prize.
One lucky reader will win a one month membership to
The 'N' List - a membership based, monthly gift box of goodies from Peas and Carrots shop. (Think Birch box but necklaces, bows, wreaths, and the like!) The winner will have the option to customize their membership for boys, ladies, girls or a combination of any for their items.
All you have to do is tell me what Life As Wife post is your favorite (feel free to leave a link!) For an additional entry you can share the news on Twitter. Fill out the Rafflecopter form below!

I really liked reading your posts about you balancing your life as a mother and taking care of your actual mother. I was very impressed on how strong you were during those tough times.
ReplyDeleteWriting about it was really my only outlet and coping mechanism! Thank you for being a support system!
DeleteOk, so I scrolled and scrolled through your blog b/c I remember a post you wrote last year that I just loved and I was determined to find it again! Here it is: Twilight http://mylifeaswife.blogspot.com/2011/09/twilight.html
ReplyDeleteAw Rach you didn't have to do all that work! Twilight is one of my favorites as well! It's so hard balancing all the parts of out life!
DeleteYou're greatest day ever post! I love that your hubby took so much time and thought into making your birthday a very special day.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a great day and so nice to spend all that time together one on one!

ReplyDeleteI love this post as well as the eating my words (and they taste like crap) that I put in your Blog Bash Part 1. I love that you take everything for how it is, the good and the bad. Happy two year blogging anniversary!
Thank you! I try to be honest - its not always roses around here but it's real!
DeleteI loved this one!

I'm a little impartial to your Great Expectations post, but that probably doesn't count, does it? ;) I also really loved seeing all of the work and creativity you put into the first birthday party!
ReplyDeleteTotally counts! I enjoyed writing that pos for you very much! Nice to do something a little different on occasion.
DeleteI really love wordless Wednesdays! Some things just speak better without words. Pictures say so much and they always have so much personality! I think I may even steal it from ya soon!
ReplyDeleteYou should! I would love to see more pictures of G!

ReplyDeleteYour post about your first argument was one of my favorite posts. You put something that breaks some families apart in the most poetic way giving me hope for my first real argument. We are still in the honeymoon stage so it hasn't happened yet. I really enjoy following your blog Sam!! Thanks for letting me be apart of your cute family!!

ReplyDeleteDefinitely my favorite post of yours! ;) So thankful to have a great mommy friend like you and I can go to with all my crazy baby questions!
This is another great post, http://mylifeaswife.blogspot.com/2011/05/every-now-and-then-i-need-to-be-told-im.html - following the Set the Hospital on Fire one! I'm also getting rather partial to these blog bash posts ;)
ReplyDeleteI love all of your posts. I get to know you that much better the more I read. happy anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new reader, but I just read the post about "The Buzzing in my Ear" and I can totally relate. It is always so refreshing to know that others can relate to the hard times.
ReplyDeleteI loved your birthday post! I totally relate to those days being the best days ever for moms! We gotta take some time for ourselves every now and again! :-)
