My Favorite Things Holiday Giveaway: Win a $500 Amazon Gift Card! [CLOSED]
Happy December 12th! I am SO excited to begin counting down the 12 days of Christmas!
You guys have been asking me left and right if I’d be holding another 12 Days of Christmas vlogging series this year. While I’d love to, all we’re REALLY doing over here is cuddling a newborn. But!

These giveaways are not sponsored and are given by me to show how much I appreciate you being here. I LOVE YOU! Thank you for stopping by this rambly corner of the internet every day. It seriously means the WORLD to me.
To kick things off on this first day of Christmas, I’m giving away two $500 amazon gift cards! This gift card will be sent to you electronically, so you will receive it well before Christmas. Like you will receive it two or three days from now.

One of my favorite memories of 2017 was qualifying for the Boston Marathon last month with a 3:20:25 finish time (over a 15 minute PR!).
My favourite 2017 memory is a hard call… my first would be crossing the finish line of the Berlin Marathon as that was the success of months of hard work and training and a huge personal goal! second would be the turkey trot 5k my sister and i did with her dogs this past thanksgiving as we’ve never gotten a chance to run a race together and it was super special being able to do it!
My favorite memory was my son being born and when my daughter came to the hospital to meet him, heart melting!

In February, my boyfriend and I got engaged in London. That was by far my favorite memory of 2017. Our wedding is in three weeks (on our 9 year dating anniversary!), so I anticipate that being my favorite memory of 2018, ha.

Had a baby at the very end of 2016 and seeing my two girls start figuring out sisterhood is awesome! And we sold our first home and whirlwind-renovated a new one just in time to move in this fall.
My favorite memory from this past year was tubing down a river in Montana while on vacation. It was completely spur of the moment, we bought inner-tubes at a local hardware store and found the local entry point. It was one of those perfect summer days, the weather was hot, water was cold and we had mountains surrounding us!
My favorite memory: summer camping trip with my husband! just us and nature, it was wonderful!
The birth of our first, a daughter, was definitely the highlight of 2017! We’re so obsessed with her!

My best friend and I took a rather spontaneous trip to NYC and did little else but eat and wander. It is now the gold standard for how I want to spend my vacations.
This year, I fell in love with my honey… going to be hard to top that in the future! Hoping we’ll find a way! ❤️
The birth of my nephew.. little baby Max!!!

My favorite memory of 2017 is when I finally got to meet my best friend’s family in England in February. We only get to see each other every couple of years, so it was very special to me. My second favorite memory was when he asked me to be his girlfriend a few months ago. I couldn’t be happier.
