So, next week is my birthday and we are finally moving to the Midwest. . one could be overwhelmed by all of this (and I am!) but I am also trying to take this adventure in stride. And with a new, extra long, winter coat! and a shovel to keep in my car. oh yes. (thank you, Julie!)
As a blogger, I have the honor of working with some great companies and brands and get to try out lots of new products. Since next week is the week leading up to my birthday and I am trying to embrace every year past *A-hem* 40, I wanted to give some stuff away. Also, all of my kitchen essentials are being packed up- like everything because we are moving- so I can’t cook or bake anything.
A week-long of giveaways will just have to do.
Here’s the scoop:
Each day, there will be a NEW giveaway and post with instructions on how to enter. On Monday and Thursday, there will be TWO giveaways. . Monday’s winner will win BOTH. Thursday will be TWO separate giveaways. ENTER and please help spread the word and enjoy. . it’s Fall. . pumpkins and apples are everywhere and I’m moving to Madison, WI. yeehah!
All the fun starts on Monday, 10/21. . so come back and ENTER!
And just two important things. .
1) You don’t want to miss Monday’s post. . I’m sharing this. Wowza. Believe me, you want to win the chocolate I used to make these. And it’s more than just 2 bars of chocolate. It’s actually a variety of Theo’s NEW holiday chocolate bars. . check back Monday! Monday’s winner will also win a Silpat non-stick baking mat.
2) I have never entered a food type competition. . until now. I entered the Lindsay Olive Ultimate Lunchbox contest to show “My Kid’s Ultimate Lunchbox.” There are only 9 entries. . if you could, please take a look and if you like mine- the pasta salad (maybe not so ultimate but if you read the post it’ll explain why I think it works)- if you could VOTE FOR ME, I would be so grateful. Mine is the first entry, “My Kid’s Ultimate Lunchbox” (by Alice Choi, yours truly) with the pasta salad, apples and snap peas. Thank you!
I love you guys!
Happy almost birthday! I hope you get to Madison in time to catch some lovely fall weather before the winter kicks in!
Thank you, Allison!! And I have that fabulous list/email from you still!! Thank you!
I didn’t know it’s your birthday next week! Gah, we should’ve done something to celebrate either in Seattle or last weekend when you were here. Wow, that’s an amazing week of giveaways. I can’t wait for the recipe for that incredible brownie cheesecake delight you made. Good luck with the move, girl, and keep us updated!
Awh, thank you Nancy! you know I will! I’m not big on birthdays anymore. . 😛 and DUDE, you have to make the brownie cheesecake bars. Seriously. OH. MY. GAWD. holy decadence! They are so good!
Didn’t know it’s your birthday this week! Now I’m really bummed we didn’t get to meet up. Have a safe and smooth move! And now off to check out the goodies in your giveaway.
Happy (early) Birthday, Alice! Thanks for these generous giveaways.
Thank you, Candice!
Good luck with the move! Moving from Chicago to LA even without furniture was pretty stressful for me despite vowing not to worry and trying to convince myself it’s just stuff. Just voted for your lunchbox! It looks great so I hope you win 😉
Ah, thank you so much Andreea! And thank you for the vote! 🙂
Yay! Just started following your blog and what great things to come! We recently moved across the country so I know all that is involved in the process…I wish the best of luck! And I can’t wait to tune back on Monday!
Hi Monet,
Thank you for the comment! You are so sweet! and yes, definitely check back on Monday, cheers!
Finally the last week is here Alice. Hope it goes smoothly and you’re quickly settled into your new (and exciting!) life. A week of giveaways sounds perfect!
