favorite things giveaway!


















I'm obviously still a little new to this blogging thing-I thought my giveaway post was scheduled but somehow it not only didn't post-it got deleted! So, a few hours later than I intended, here it is! :)

Thank you for stopping by today to celebrate! I think being away from our Nashville community so often has deepened my desire for a dedicated online community, and I'm excited to see how WanderLove brings us together. I can't wait to hear all of your thoughts on so many things!

No blog launch would be complete without a celebratory giveaway, and what better way to celebrate than with a few of my favorite things? I hope you'll enjoy them too! To enter, simply leave a comment below with a few of your favorite things between now and Saturday at 12:01am CST. I'll randomly choose a winner from the entries and make the announcement in next Monday's post! Here's what's up for grabs:

An iTunes gift card (maybe you'll buy this album?), a Starbucks gift card (because sending you my favorite Starbucks drink in the mail would be silly!) and a Target gift card (like you need a reason to browse the endless and varied merchandise at Target...).

If you're feeling generous, invite your friends to stop by WanderLove and enter themselves! Maybe they'll share the wealth if they win. :)

Update: the giveaway is officially closed. Thanks so much for entering!

  9. Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens...oh wait, those are not MY favorite things, although I do love Broadway and musicals! Other things I love...Kissing my husband. Chocolate. Snow, when it's still white and pretty. My daughter's laughter. The colors of fall. Singing. Music. Worshiping God. Reading. Free Kindle books. My book club. Purple. Tinkerbell. Mornings I don't need to set an alarm. Listening to children pray. Walking on the beach. The sound of the ocean. Family time. Thanksgiving dinner, especially the pumpkin pie. Watching my daughter learn about Jesus and grow in her relationship with Him.

    1. Tinkerbell was always my favorite too. In high school I had all sorts of Tinkerbell paraphernalia! I'm a little embarrassed to say my instant messenger screen name was never updated from "tinkerbele13"..haha! Good thing I don't have time for IM anymore :)

    2. My daughter thinks it's silly that "Mamma likes Tinkerbell just like I like Cinderella". But I've found that experiencing the things we were supposed to have "left behind when we grew up" through my daughter's eyes has made me enjoy the make-believe that much more. Plus Tink is sassy and spunky and a great friend and she gets to fly! :-)

  12. A few of my favorite things.. The smell just after a storm, cool breezes with every possible window in your house opened as far as it can go, the look of excitement when I open my daughters door after she wakes up from her nap and she sees me, sitting and talking to my husband (with a busy schedule it's nice and rare this happens too often), people that you can meet once and know you'll be friends that no matter where you go after that meeting, you know you'll be such dear close friends, watching my daughter do "so big", seeing her scrunch her nose up because that's the only way for her to make her smile seem any bigger than it already is, chai lattes from dunkin donuts, COFFEE, and of course roaming through target endlessly just because it makes my heart so happy <3 (Lindsey Taber)
