So, this giveaway includes:
1. Blake Mycoskie's book, "Start Something That Matters."
2. A pair of TOMS (up to a $54 value).
So, shoes are pretty awesome, but the book is really great too! I honestly really enjoyed it and think most people would. It's super inspiring! (I mean, look who wrote it...) It was fun and interesting to learn the history of TOMS and how it all came together. And not only do you hear stories about/from Blake Mycoskie, but other brands and companies who are working towards something bigger, "something that matters." This book is definitely worth reading, in my opinion, and it's even a quick read. Seriously--it'll probably take you a day, maybe two.
**This giveaway is open to anyone and everyone! I'd love it if you decided to become a follower of my blog, if you aren't already, after entering the giveaway, but only because you love it, not because it's a requirement.**
To initally enter the giveaway:
1. Leave a comment on my blog telling me what you are most excited about for 2012. And leave your name and email address, too! (1 entry.)
For extra entries: be sure to leave a comment for each additional!
2. Tweet/Facebook about this giveaway, providing a link. (2 entries.)
3. Blog about this giveaway, even just a small mention in one of your regular posts, just be sure to link back! (3 entries.)
**This giveaway will end on January 31st.**
Good luck! And Happy New Year! I hope 2012 is your best yet. : )
YAY!! Love your Blog Lydia!!! In 2012 I am most excited about teaching my newborn new things and watching him grow. I can not wait for him to be able to tell me he loves me and give me hugs and kisses (own his own) lol

ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your blog Lydia! I so wish I'd looked at it before now! In 2012, I look forward to all of the big milestones that my baby will go through, and watching my family as a whole changing and evolving! We might move, I might start school again, we'll decide if my husband changes careers or not... So many possibilities! :)
