What? I’m doing a giveaway and it’s not FRIDAY?!? Those last few rays of summer sunshine must have cooked my brain a bit, because I have an additional giveaway for you! Frankly, I had a little too much fun shopping for ya’ll (see, I even have my southern accent back!) at the Outer Banks. I hope you’ll enjoy these goodies as much as I did buying them!
And this one is SO EASY to enter. First, here’s what you can win… just a few of my favorite beachy things, with a retail value of over $40:
- a cool nautical rucksack bag– great for everything from beach stuff to groceries
- ceramic cupcake FULL of birthday cake flavored cookies!
- a box of salt water taffy from Scotch Bonnet
- a starfish for decorating (see here and here for two ideas!)
- 6 Hatteras lighthouse cards
- a capiz shell windchime similar to the one in my guest room
- a box of Southern Dumplings– yummy!
- NOT PICTURED: two packets of chai tea mix from the Island Spice and Wine store (I love me some chai!)
How do you win? As promised, it’s easy!
INITIAL ENTRY: Tell me how you found my blog. That’s it! If you’ve been following for awhile and don’t remember, just tell me that.
Additional Entries: LEAVE A COMMENT FOR EACH SO THEY CAN BE COUNTED!
- Enter another current giveaway on my blog (click here to get to it): TWO additional entries!
- Become a subscriber or follower (or tell me if you already are one). TWO additional entries!
- In a sentence or two, tell me your favorite place to vacation OR a place you’ve always wanted to go (hello, Greece!) ONE additional entry!
- Blog or tweet it, and leave a link here. THREE additional entries!
You know the rules: chosen by Random.org, must be a US resident, yada yada yada. Contest ends on Sunday, September 27th at 11:59 PM.
See, I told you it was easy. Easy, breezy, just like the beach. I know the beginning of fall is a strange time to do a beach giveaway, but you can tuck it away until next year OR use the goodies to remember how it feels to have your toes in the sand!

I found you as we usually find each other: another blogger I was reading was your follower and so on. Thanks for choosing my country (Greece) as your favourite holiday destination. Mine would be England.
I was so glad to read Noodle’s news -HUGE!!! My son was hospitalised for 18 days; on day 3 they told us :’he’s probably out of danger now’ PROBABLY?? I was a wreck as I hadn’t even known his life was threatened by a breathing inefficiency. Thank God, he came home healthy as anybody. …So glad for you!
(I don’t know how many entries that counts for. Just wanted to talk to you)
I found your blog when I first started mine. A friend of mine was following you and I saw you on her page and ever since I’ve been a follower!

In a sentence or two, tell me your favorite place to vacation OR a place you’ve always wanted to go.
I have been to Mexico and Hawaii and the next place I want to go is Australia…although it’d be expensive I would love to see the kangaroos!
I found you via Money Saving Mom…you have a very nice site.
Our family’s favorite vacation spot is Edisto Island, South Carolina. It’s a nice, quiet family place…the beach, the ocean, and lots of blue sky, and lots of families spending time together.
I found your blog through money saving mom.
My favorite vacation spot has to be the beach – I also love the outer banks for the family destination.
I just found your blog through a giveaway link up – and I will definitely be back! 🙂

Found you on 5 Minutes for Mom!
Got a little “homesick” when you mentioned visiting the Outer Banks! My husband & I spent time there our 1st three summers together (before kids). . . Someday we will go back!!
Right now, w an almost 3yo, a 15 mo-old and another due in March, we are not vacationing very much. LOL!
I love Europe–esp England, and would love to go back with my hubby . . . someday!!!
