100th post giveaway!

Yep!  This is my 100th post and that is reason enough for a little fun :)!  Who doesn't love a giveaway, right?  I know I do :).

This blog is about the daily life of my family, so I thought I would share some of my favorite things that make daily life a little prettier...


1.  A Yankee Candle in one of my most favorite fragrances, Coconut Lime...


2.  A cute dish towel for the kitchen.  This one is silly and that's exactly why I like it...


3.  A pretty dish drying mat.  I have two of these that I use every day, they are great for the RV...


4.  A fun little book.  I was immediately drawn to the cover by the Katie Daisy artwork (so pretty!).  I don't purchase many books (too heavy and bulky when you move often/live in an RV), but this one I decided was worth it :)...




If you would like a chance to win these four items, all you have to do is leave me a comment on this post.  I will randomly pick a winner (one winner gets all four things) one week from today...so that will be next Saturday 8/10/13.  Please be sure and include your name in your comment so that I can let you know if you win.  Also, this giveaway will be limited to US addresses in the lower 48 only please.

Thanks so much for reading along!!!

***Giveaway is now closed...thank you so much to everyone that stopped by to enter***


The winner is...Candice!  Please email me @ mmbontrager at gmail dot com to claim your prize.

    I love your Blog! We are hoping to buy a 5th wheel bunkhouse in the next 2 years. Next June we move from California to Washington State, for retirement. We have an 11 year old son, who we will begin home schooling for the 7th and 8th grade (to start). Right now we have a trailmanor which fits in our garage. Your Blog keeps my hopes up of a long 8th grade road trip across country. I also love your RV tips.

      Hi Kim! Thanks for stopping by and for the sweet comment :). We loved our time in California, the people we met were all so nice...Washington and Oregon are on the list for a future trip (maybe next summer? sounds good to me!). The planning stage for going on an extended RV trip is so much fun...I hope you are enjoying every minute of it. I'm sure your son is excited, too...our kids love being on the road :)!

      Hi Karen! Thanks for the congrats :). I actually found the Coconut Lime candle at Target...never knew they sold Yankee Candles til this summer. It can be hard to find them (at least at the Target near me), they stay sold out of them. If you find them and you like the fragrance, you may wanna grab a couple ;)

    Congratulations on your 100th post! I long for the day when we can go to full time RV living... we have 9 years until military retirement and then we are off. Until then, we are hoping to part-time as possible! :-)
