Etsy Giveaway! 100th post & Power Animal of the Month: Pets!

What better way to celebrate my 100th post than with an Etsy giveaway! And can I just tell you that I'm super excited that this very 100th post happens to be a Power Animal of the Month one?

To celebrate I am treating one lucky visitor with the Etsy item of their choice from this PAOTM montage. This collection serves as my July and August Power Animal of the Month and celebrates various pets I had growing up. As I write this, old lady Peaches sits snoring at my hip and I'm reminded of the solace pets provide us in difficult times. And I've selected items from sellers that I really, really love. I hope you do, too.

Mouse Soup for me!

Normally I don't post on the weekend, so I can just hang with the family, but I had to share this. 

I won my first blog giveaway, and it's a great one! Jonah Lisa at The Toby Show had a book giveaway for Mouse Soup and Mouse Tales, two books that LEB keeps pointing to in the back flap of our Frog and Toad books and asking for. When I saw the giveaway I immediately thought of LEBs excitement about these books and crossed my fingers. And it worked!

The snow is melting in big drips, too, making me a tiny bit more hopeful about springtime. Have a great weekend!
