a shout-out and a surprise...

It's September. My favorite. Which means time for me to give a huge shout-out to all my lovely sponsors! These ladies are extra-special because they've signed up for those button-swap spaces displayed over there ---->

We all know swapper spaces are free. So basically we're just helping each other out, which totally rocks.

I immensely appreciate their support. I find it amazing that only a few comments and responses back and forth can generate a friendship. One of the reasons I've come to love this blogging stuff :)

So. Ready to meet some really great girls behind some really great blogs? Herewego.

{ Cassie at Two In Diapers }

{ Sara at Confessions of a Redheaded Mama }

{ Shar at Shar's Blog }

{ Baylee at The Day I Stopped Making Cents }

{ Ashley at Oh Wells Instead of What Ifs }

{ Natalie at Home Bird Economics }

{ Christine & Janene at More Than Mommies }

{ Heidi at Taking the Plunge }

I'm so excited to get the know these girls better and to follow along with them as they tell about their day-to-day selves and the life that goes along with them. And I think you should get to know them too! {If you'd like to do the old button-swap with me, just visit my Sponsor page. I also have a larger ad space available that'll get you your own featured shout-out, guest post, and social media promotions (and it's dirt cheap).}

Oh yeah -- I did say something about a surprise, didn't I? 

Just so happens that my birthday is coming up (and my hubby's birthday -- same day, no lie). As is baby girl's first birthday! To celebrate, this mama is hosting a double birthday giveaway and part one of the giveaway extravaganza is starting this Sunday! Something about winning free ad spaces on some highly desirable real estate...

Check back on September 9 to enter!
