Giveaway! Yeehaw!

photo-77

 

Hello there all! I thought it was about time that I did another giveaway! This is a giveaway for the set of Loving the Little Years and Fit to Burst. We will give away three sets, with a random number generator drawing on Thursday. International readers are welcome to enter, no – encouraged to enter! I will let each winner pick which two books you want – so if you want to get two of the same one to share with a friend you can.

I snapped this picture on the patio table out back, and thought it was appropriate. Little Years has spaghetti on the cover (as modeled by Chloe), Fit to Burst has straggly popcorn, and my niece Marisol’s shoes, and the picture I took of these two books shows that people ran amok with sidewalk chalk on this very inviting surface. It’s all very true to life in my life.

One quick thing about entering the contest – Just leave a comment on the post to be entered! Yeehaw, and I hope you all win!

I keep rereading LTLY, so it’s usually out, and my kids are forever talking about the messy baby on the front. 🙂 One of my boys got a hold of it and drew even more on the baby, which somehow helps to further remind me of why I need to be reading the book! 😉

  162. I’d love two more to give away! I have a pile here always ready to give away, but it gets low quickly, and postage to New Zealand is expensive. 🙂

  165. Count me in! I love – LOVE!! – your first book. It is one of the most encouraging, Biblical, down-to-earth-commonsense parenting book I have read, and I read it as much for gleaning the practical advice on keeping your attitude in line in any phase of life – motherhood or not! 🙂

    Would love copies myself, and want to give it away to any gal I know. 😉 SO thanks for sharing your wisdom and humour in your candid, Godly writing!

  209. Holy smokes! 200! Yowza.

    Put my name is that little name generator would you please? I borrowed the Loving the Little Years from a friend and enjoyed it so much. I especially loved the part where Rachel talked about a woman’s body not being a treasure but a tool or something like that. I have meant to do a blogpost on it but I returned the book and haven’t wanted to bother my friend again for a proper quote. If I had my own COPY though….. 😉
