Errrrrrrrrrbody loves Giveaways

It's Friday!!!!
It's totally not because I am writing this post on Thursday, but totally not the point.
TGIF y'all!

What's better on a Friday than a giveaway?!
Nothing. At. All.

I planned on doing a giveaway when I reached 300 followers and then it took me FOR-EV-VA to get it together so you are seeing it now.

{feel free to pin this great pic so more people enter} 
In order to enter, you must follow all of the blogs listed below (including mine).
Once you have followed them on GFC,
leave a comment below telling me how awesome I am  telling me that you are following everybody.
Please only leave ONE COMMENT.

I will use a random number generator once I figure out how to determine the winner.
One winner takes all.
Yep, somebody is getting a nice little jackpot!

First up, we have this girl.
Janessa is my IRL (in real life) BFF and if it weren't for her and her google skills, I would be lost.
She blogs about everyday life, her cool kid, and I'm almost positive she is gonna have some GREAT before/after pics for us of her new house!
RunningonEmpty 
Follow her blog here.
She's giving away a custom made button for the winner.
You tell her what you want and she will make it happen.
She makes all my buttons and they are awesome!!

You know that friend we all have, the one that motivates us to work out harder and runs just right in front of us while running together?
That's Laura.
button

I'm always trying to catch her when we run together.
She has an AMAZING fashion blog and has TONS of giveaways.
Oh, and her blog is so hot and racy that my work blocked me from her. I'm still a little bummed about that, but I'm keeping up with her still via my phone.
Follow her blog here.
She is giving away a $10 Target Giftcard.

Next is Lindsey at A Plane Doctor, His Nurse & 3 Little Passengers.
Lindsey has the cutest three kids ever and blogs all about her life as a SAHM during the week and a nurse during the weekend.
button
Lindsey is giving away a $25 giftcard to Banana Republic.
Follow her blog here.
Next is Alex from The Skinny Jean Pilgrimage.
She blogs about her life as a newly single mom and the ups and downs of weight loss. She has lost a ton of weight and is still going strong.
 You can follow her blog here.
Alex is giving away an Alex & Ani Bangle like this one.


Next on the list we have Meredith, who blogs over at Is This Thing On?
Meredith blogs about being a stay at home Mom to two precious little girls....along with a side of working out/being awesome.
 
button
You can follow her blog here.
She is giving away a $15 Starbucks giftcard.
After Meredith, we have Steph from Life According to Steph.
This girl keeps me laughing every day by blogging about life with her husband and the other two loves of her life, her pugs.

You can follow her blog here.
Steph is giving away a $10 Target giftcard.

Next up is K at Keeping up with K.
K blogs about her Operation Red Bikini like most of us do and she makes me feel like I need to travel more...check out her travel page here. 
Keeping Up With K
 
K is giving away a $10 Starbucks giftcard and a Lulemon headband.
Be sure to go here to follow her blog.
 
Write this Down Amy is my next blogger.
Amy blogs about her everyday life...and she is a running machine. She, like me, has a handsome bald husband named Michael...that right there is enough of a reason for you to go check her out.
  
button
You can follow Amy's blog here.
She is giving away a $20 Sephora giftcard.
The incredibly talented Laura at Serrano Style is next.
Laura has a great Etsy shop that you can check out here.
She blogs about her weight loss story and is one of my My Fitness Pals.
  
Be sure to go follow her blog here and check out her Etsy shop because she will be giving away one of her cosmetic bags.

And one of my favorite blog titles ever belongs to Natalie over at My Fabulous Life of Woodchucks and Sippy Cups. {Isn't that the cutest blog title ever?}
Natalie actually went to school with me and as an adult moved away...she blogs about her precious daughters, one of which is named Harper.
In case you didn't know, my future unborn/unmade baby will share the same name.

You can go here to follow Natalie's blog.
She is giving away this adorable set of stationary.



 Man, this is a long post!!
I hope you are still with me.....I know you probably are though since free stuff is up for grabs!

Next is Becca from Four Buggers.
Just look at these precious kids!!

It just doesn't get much cuter than that!!
Becca is working on her MILF status and is sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly of her weight loss journey.
You can go follow her blog here.
Becca is giving away a $20 Target giftcard.

And last but not least, we have Amanda at My Very Own Modern Family.
The beginning of Amanda's About Me Page just makes me tired...it says "working mom of 5 beautiful girls"...and I can barely manage my two!
I'm hoping to hang out with this gal when I go to St Louis to run my half in April.
button
Be sure to go here to follow her blog.
Amanda is giving away a $20 Target giftcard.
And that's all folks!
Man, are we sure that I can't enter to win?!
There's lots of good new blogs here for you to follow and lots of great stuff to win.
In case you were keeping count, that means one lucky winner
will get
$60 worth of Target giftcards
$25 Starbucks giftcards
$25 Banana Republic giftcard
$20 Sephora giftcard
Stationary
a Bracelet
A Cosmetics Bag
A Free Button
A Lulemon Headband
and a partridge in a pear tree.

Remember, please leave only one comment below once you have followed ALL of the blogs above.
I will choose a winner on Monday.

Side note to all bloggers who participated:
this was my first time to do a giveaway...if anything looks wrong, please let me know!
Also, if you participated, please make sure you put a link on your blog and blow it up on social media!
I tried my best to keep track of everything and everyone but that's hard work! {Which is why I may never have sponsors...}
If you wanted to participate in this giveaway but somehow I missed you, PLEASE email me so we can fix that!!

Good luck y'all!!

I Love finding new blogs to follow and it would not hurt to win some goodies. :)

  47. So, I'm not sure exactly what I was thinking you wanted to add to your guveaway bundle, but I was pretty sure it was something really big or super cool that I couldn't possibly contribute. Sorry! I would have totally threw something in had I known. You've got some awesome stuff to give away, other blogs have lots of new followers, and I have plenty of great new blogs to read. Crossing my fingers that my random number gets picked. Congratulations on reaching 300!

  48. I am a new follower on all the blogs. I loved reading their posts and look forward to reading more. I love finding new blogs and making new "friends". (When I read a good blog post I will tell my hubby "Today I was reading a friends blog and she said _______" I am sure my hubby thinks I am totally popular because I have so many friends. On second thought, my he thinks I am a little psycho because I call them all my friends and they have no clue who the heck I am. ha ha I won't ask him.


    I am a new follower! Hope you will stop by my blog. If you like what you see follow me back:
