April 18th will be my 5 year blogging anniversary. It all started with this itty bitty post. I cannot believe I have been doing this for 5 years and I cannot believe how much our lives have changed – in part because of the blog. I am so very, very grateful for all the experiences that I have had thanks to the blog and I am also extremely grateful for you sweet readers! What fun would all this be if I didn’t have you traveling this journey along with me? So to celebrate and to say a HUGE “thank you” I am going to host 5 giveaways to celebrate the 5 years you have stuck with me.
So let’s not waste anymore time – let’s get started!
Today’s giveaway is a FREE copy of the upcoming Summer Edition of Matthew Mead’s Holiday magazine!!
One of the great things that has happened because of the blog is some of the opportunities I have had to be a part of various publications, including the new issue of Holiday, which I get to tell what I love most about Summer!
I cannot wait for this issue because it has Meg’s house in it and I just adore her house.
All the projects, homes and inspiration ideas in this magazine will help you create a summer that is as much fun as the ones from your childhood. I simply cannot wait to see my copy land in my mailbox!

The best thing about summer is getting to see my wonderful family. I miss them!
My favourite thing about the summer is the feeling of the warmth of the sun on me and feeling the warmth of the people I love around me.

congrats on your 5 years…lots of memories journaled here….count me in on your giveaway, please!

Congrats on your 5 years! Have so enjoyed getting to know you.
Summer . . . now that I'm a mom to a college gal, I must say that summers take on a special meaning for me now because it means she'll be home and working as a counselor at a local summer camp. It means a house full of chatter, friends, a screen door slamming open and close way more than when it's just little ol' me, clutter everywhere, more loads of laundry, someone to laugh with (and we laugh a lot!) . . . all of it, heaven.

I love the sound of lawn mowers and the long summer days…and laying on the trampoline at night watching the stars and looking for satellites.
I love going barefoot and eating watermelon!
my favorite thing about summer is the hot, sticky, unbearable heat!!(we still had freezing rain in montreal yesterday!)…and flip flops!
So many great things about summer. Sleeping in. Spending more time with friends. Longer days. No school for my two boys. There's just an anythings possible excitement in the air.
Summer, windows open letting the sounds slip in—the sounds of children playing, birds singing, gentle breezes, rain showers, the sounds that winter leaves outdoors. Ah, summer
Summer…grilling by the pool with friends, splashing in water to stay cool, more relaxed schedule!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE swimming a LOT.

My favorite thing about summer is having my boy home with me and going to the beach. But there are so many summer favs flip-flops, sno-balls, fireworks, grilling, fresh tomatoes, sorry but I could go on and on.

the best thing about summer for me is the sunshine! oh, the blessed sunshine. I can't get enough. :o) Becki
My favorite thing about summer is the taste of the tomatoes when I pick them fresh from my garden – there is nothing better!
The heat – over 100 F often – I can do without but the tomatoes need it so we endure 🙂
I love the sunshine, and I love swimming… it's a wonderful time of year!
