Freshly Picked Moccasin Giveaway!


Yesterday I launched a Freshly Picked moccasin giveaway on Instagram and, in the chaos of it all, I forgot to post it on here! Yesterday was my beloved's birthday and so I tried to keep my phone/computer aside and, rightfully so, focus on him. So, I apologize for the delay, but worry not, you still have plenty of time to enter! Here are the deets:

The winner will receive one pair of Freshly Picked Moccasins in the size and color style of their choice! The contest will run from 11/25-12/1. If we reach 1,000 followers by 12/1 I'm throwing in a little something extra (to be announced on day of results!), so spread the word! The contest will close & the winner will be announced on December 1st!
The rules are as follows:
1:: You must follow @thelittlesprig on instagram (find my post with the picture shown above)
2:: Comment on the photo stating why you'd like to win!
3:: Repost the photo tagging @thelittlesprig and a friend and hashtag #thelittlesprigthankfulcontest
Simple right?! 

Good luck to each and every one of you and I'm pushing my "what we wear on wednesday segment" to friday, so look for it then! Have a wonderful & blessed Thanksgiving tomorrow filled with yummy food and all those special people who you love so!

Growing.

Yesterday evening we spotted the first green sprouts of the grass we planted! Miles felt so accomplished, and I reveled in joy with him. This encouraged me to start my spring cleaning. I've been reorganizing our little space, making room for the baby. Is it too soon to be nesting? I'm at the stage in my pregnancy where day by day it is becoming more and more real that this is actually happening. Sometimes I feel like time has flown by, while in other instances I can't remember a time when I wasn't pregnant. In reality, time is really flying though, and in no time at all life as we know it will be completely changed.

One of my favorite authors, Kurt Vonnegut, once offered advice saying: "And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is." He observed that humans seldom notice when they are happy. Well it is about time I offer my own happiness some brainspace; I can honestly say I can't think of a time I've been happier, or a time I've been more proud to be alive. Whether it is budding grass or Miles and I in our life path, things wont stop growing around here, and I couldn't be more gratified. And I keep thinking, "If this isn't nice, I don't know what is."

Sending endless wishes of happiness your way...
