Giveaway roundups - don't miss out on these goodies!

The Shabby Chic Cottage is giving away so many pretty things - it's a Christmas Carnival over there!  Hurry, it's only until midnight on Monday!

Fiona and Twig is celebrating her 100th post with and ANTHROPOLOGIE gift card AND something lovely from her Etsy shop!  Open until December 5th :)

Blushing Rose is giving away your CHOICE between 3 nice little Victorian/Tea themed bundles - Drawing on Dec. 1st (the same day we're strating our "12 Days of Christmas [ReDeemed]" guest blogger series - which will also have prizes!)

I think Whataburger heard about our series, because they are copying it!  The 12 Days of Whataburger - sign up to get a coupon for free food every other day from Dec. 2nd - 24th!  (just kidding - they were doing it already, but it made a great segue - right?)  And now for my "Whatababy" Gavin:

A totally serendipitous coordination of clothing and dining choice last spring!

And speaking of babies... (I'm on a roll with the segues - look out!) Pampered Preggo is giving away a "Pamper Yourself" gift basket to the best "Favorite memory of becoming a Mom" story - Enter by Dec. 21st!

And, just because I can - here are 2 more of my favorite pics of my kids:
