My Favorite Things Giveaway
Well, after keeping it the same for over 2 years… I finally switched up my wordpress theme! Many of you asked to see more color here, and to make the text easier to read, so I hope this is a step in the right direction. Click over from reader and let me know what you think! (Also, I am still working on the questions you left for me.)
I came up with (what I thought was) a good idea for a giveaway – a “My Favorite Things” giveaway. Not, not the Julie Andrews’ My Favorite Things, but my personal, favorite things!
I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite snacks with a reader! And I am not sponsored by any of these items (ha!), I just love them and want to share the love. These are snacks that always hit the spot for me (yes, even the fifth item, if I can stick to one serving!).
Included in this Giveaway*:
- Iced Oatmeal Raisin Luna Bar
- Chocolate Peppermint Stick Luna Bar
- Original Mild Stonewall’s Jerquee
- Chocolate Chip Peanut Odwalla Bar
- Dots**
- Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Peanut Butter from PB&Co.
I wish I could include more! Like my favorite hummus and some carrots or some Soy Dream French Vanilla! Hee hee.
Contest Rules:
- To enter the contest, simply leave a comment below telling me what you would include if you were doing your own “My Favorite Things” giveaway!
- To get an extra entry, link to the giveaway in your blog, and leave me another comment linking to your post.
- This contest is open until 5:00 PM CST on Sunday, January 31st. I will probably use the old “name out of a hat” drawing to select a winner on Sunday evening. I will announce the winner on Monday, February 1st.
- This contest is open to readers everywhere.

My favorite things would have to include dark Belgian chocolate praline seashells (I have one each day with my coffee – just one small satisfying bite of dark chocolate with a yummy praline filling – yum yum yum!)
