Birthday Post: 31 Favorite Things + a $31 Amazon GIVEAWAY!

Today I turn

Ooh- that last one hurts.

Since I'm not a huge fan of odd numbers, and since 31 seems like a generally uneventful age (I felt the same way about 29 and 26... although at least 26 was even and still "mid-twenties"), I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite things with y'all and do a little giveaway- because who doesn't love winning things?!

This list of favorites spans a lot of years- 31 to be exact.

Some of them are all-time favorites, and some are more recent.

If you're new around here, consider this a getting-to-know-me list... a little peek into the quirkiness that is- me.

And maybe you'll even find a thing or two that you need to try for yourself!
