It is here, we have exceeded 10,000 members in our facebook community! It has been unbelievable and slightly overwhelming watching this blog grow soooo quickly over the past 10 months. I had huge dreams that it would grow, but never thought it would happen so quickly. I’m not going to lie: it is a lot of work, but your emails and comments make it all worth while! I love what I do, and I love the relationships and opportunities that have been formed because of it. And best of all, I love that I can do it from home with Elizabeth! THIS is exactly what I’m suppose to be doing with my life right now, and I feel honored.

I first found your blog through pintrest and the freezer meals, but I love all of your blogs now!
if I were to win the gift card to thirty one, I would LOVE the organizing utility tote in minty chip!
I have LOVED your blog since I first found you on Pinterest! I especially love your freezer meals! Thank you for all the time and effort you put in to make this a fun creative blog to follow!
I found your blog through Pinterest and I LOVE your freezer meals. I seriously plan my grocery menu around your menus. Thanks for keeping my family fed.
What I love about your blog and you is you are the type of mom/woman I hope I am someday. I can’t even fathom how you find the time to do all that you do but, I applaud you for it!
I have got to try the indian chai spice tea from hugabug…IT LOOKS FANTASTIC!
I absolutely love your freezer meal recipes! They’re great for our family! I did pin your picture and if I could chose any item from the shop it would be the Clean Home Kit! I’ve made some cleaner home choices but still have a long way to go!
From 31, I want the basket/toilet paper holder for my bathroom and a new wallet!
From butterfly designs I want the baby blocks with tags for my little girl!
What I love about your blog is your can-do/DIY approach… and your post about grieving and loss. Thank you for that, too.
Love to read your posts ! Shared pic on facebook and pinned a few stores. Would love some day to buy from 31! a Friend gave me a catalog and I drooled
I love bags of any kind, I call myself the bag lady. OH! and I love your freezer meals, Awesome stuff!>
Pinned (pinterest.com/ohmee). I absolutely love both of the Baby girl quilts from butterfly designs! I went to look at my thirty one gifts, but their website was down for updates.
I could absolutely use one of the bags shown in their picture though. 
I love your blog and especially love your freezer recipes! I found your blog through pinterest a few months ago, when I was pregnant. You have saved my life and sanity with those recipes, lol. I made several crock pot freezer bags a week before I went into labor and my life has been simpified and I feel great feeding my family a nutritious meal rather than pizza or ordering out! Thank you!!
Oh man… I just lost everything I just wrote trying to get the password to work. Just checking to see if I can actually get it to work before I type everything all over again.
love ur freezer meal ideas
I never win anything so this is a long shot, but I would participate in this even if there were no give away because I love this blog, love the shops and I love supporting Mom run businesses. What I love about Ring Around the Rosies is that the freezer meal posts have completely revolutionized my household by helping me cook more meals more frequently much to my husband’s delight. No longer do I have the excuse multiple times throughout the week that I am too busy or tired to cook! I also love how this website is a platform for promoting natural and healthy products as I am striving to incorporate them in my life and household. This website has inspired me to start my much needed weight loss journey through making healthy decisions without the assistance of weight loss surgery. I give thanks to Ring around the Rosies for being a positive influence and encouraging me to become healthier.
I adore all of the featured shops, and my favorite is Thirty-One. I would be absolutely honored and ecstatic to own the all in one picnic organizer among other amazing products they offer. The picnic organizer is exactly what I need on picnics which I have a soft spot for because I was proposed to while one a picnic and we just celebrated our 2 year anniversary. Also, it is exactly the perfect solution to my problem last summer of keeping eating utensils organized on a picnic table during camping.
Since I love all the shops I would like to share a few of my other favorite products I found while online shopping there. I would find the apron featured on Butterfly Designs super handy while doing freezer meal prep work! From Crystal Peace Studio, I would adore a caricature wine glass featuring Giorgio Tsoukalos’s cute face. From Little Bear’s Cupcakery I could see myself serving the white cupcakes with lemon frosting at a Welcome Home party I want to throw when my sister and her family move back here next month from across the country. What a treat! All of the tea from Hug a Bug Ink just sounds heavenly!

PICK ME!!!!!!
Butterfly designs- I would use the certificate to order the Andi Apron. So cute!!!
I like to find down-to-earth ideas here and appreciate how you showcase mom businesses. It is an excellent way to inspire creativity and gain support for these great businesses. I happen to think the caricature wine glasses are adorable.
