Last Day to Enter Our Give-Away and Championship Game on ESPN Tonight!

Don't forget - today is the last day to enter our March Tutu Give-Away! Either scroll down or click here to enter!

Lillie and I were in Richmond all weekend at the CAA Tournament. Jon has been there since Thursday. William and Mary (where Jon is an assistant basketball coach) has had a miracle season. It has been so incredibly amazing to watch and feel a part of! We had rather shocking upsets over Wake Forest AT Wake Forest and Maryland AT Maryland and a huge win over Richmond. We are now 22 and 9 (after being just 10 and 20 last year). It was a season that was almost too good to seem real at times! This weekend was our league's tournament. We beat James Madison in the quarter-finals on Saturday and Northeastern in the semi-finals last night so we are headed to the championship game tonight at 7! It will be on ESPN. I know probably most of you don't watch ESPN very often, but if your husband's happen to have it on look for Lillie! We have had several TV games this year and she has gotten on TV every time! If we win, William and Mary will be going to the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history! I am so nervous I am going crazy!

Lillie and I on TV last night (My sister, Jamie sent me this pic)....Lillie thought it was so much fun staying at the hotel that she decided not to sleep, so thanks to my awful headcold and no sleep in several days I wasn't able to get my contacts in and had to wear my glasses for the first time in public in like 10 years - haha. Just my luck!)

At the hotel about to head out to the game on Saturday night.

Brushing her teeth at the hotel and getting ready for Sunday night's game.

Playing with the hoops they had set up down in the lobby of our hotel.

Go Lillie!

Lillie has a huge crush on the head coach, Coach Shaver's, youngest son, Jackson....when we got to the game she only wanted me to hold her and then she saw him and wanted to go sit with him...haha....not sure if he appreciated it so much. Fortunately he is a good sport.

Yay!!!!! Cheering after the nail-biting win on Sunday!

With Daddy after the game on Sunday!

Sitting on the bench with Daddy after Sunday's game. (I brought my old camera because I didn't want to ruin my new one, so I didn't get many good pics, but I do love this one!)

Lillie road with the head coach, Coach Shaver (who won CAA Coach of the Year at the banquet on Thursday - Congratulations!), back to the hotel on the team bus. I am not sure who was more exhausted!

Playing with her best friend Kyla back at the hotel before heading home.

GO TRIBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JOY....An Award, and Etsy's Front Page

"The JOY of the Lord, is my strength..." Nehemiah 8:10

Hello everyone. It has been a busy and eventful week and I am behind on everything! Lillie's been sick (for what seems like months!) and I have been sick myself the last couple of days. It seems as though Lillie has finally turned the corner and is starting to feel a bit better though! It has been a particularly stressful week because we have been swamped with wholesale orders and Jon has been out of town quite a bit with away games and recruiting and when I have felt so overwhelmed, I have found such comfort in that verse. Poor Lillie is probably getting sick of hearing me sing the song that comes from that verse all day long every time I start to want to pull my hair out! Especially, because if you ask anyone in my family how awful my voice is they will not hesitate to tell you it is THE WORST! I scored a zero, yes, a zero, on the American Idol game my sister has on her Wii. Even my dad (who I got my not-so-impressive voice from) can score a few thousand points! Haha!

Despite the stress, though, there have been two exciting spots in our week. First, we received our first Blogging Award. Hana Lynch, from the MomTog Diaries , was so sweet to award us as one of the blogs she chose to give the Beautiful Blogger Award to! We are so honored. Thank you Hana! Make sure to check out both of her blogs. She is a fabulous photographer! We are supposed to pass this award on and we will indeed be doing that, but it may be a week or two before I get to that. I don't want to just do it rushed, I want to be able to really put some thought into it!


And second, another one of our items made it onto Etsy's front page on Monday of this week! This is the second time this has happened for us and it was soooo exciting!

March Giveaway - Tutu!!!!!!!!

We have decided for our giveaway this month to be one of the tutus that my mom makes for Dear Lillie! The winner can decide between the Irish Faerie Tutu (my personal favorite!) or the Lemon Drop Tutu which would be so great for Easter! You can choose your size. We offer a 3-12 months, 12-24 months, 2T/4T and a 4T/6T. Even if you don't have a little girl to wear one, it would always make a wonderful gift!

UPDATE: Due to the fact that is seems so many of you love the Irish Faerie tutu we are moving up date of the giveaway to March 9th! That way the winner should be able to get the tutu in time for St. Patrick's Day!!!!!!

This is the Irish Faerie Tutu

And this is our Lemon Drop Tutu

So, how can you win one of these tutus?

It is simple:

1) Make a comment on this post - 1 Entry (please limit to just one comment per day, you can comment each day, though, if you would like)

2) Mention this giveaway with a link on your Facebook page or Tweet about it: 2 Entries (in order for it to count as an entry, please write "Facebook" or "Twitter" as its own comment in the comment section, and make sure to do it twice so it will count as two extra entries for you)

3) Become a follower - 3 Entries (in order for it to count as an entry, please write "follower" as its own comment in the comment section, and make sure to do it three times so it will count as three extra entries for you, or if you are already a follower, make sure to write "follower" also as a comment three times)

4) Mention this giveaway on your own blog and include a link to our giveaway, - 4 Entries (Again for this to count make sure to write "blog" four different times as comments.)

In case you are wondering why in the world you have to comment each time you blog or tweet about it or become a follower, it is because we use the number of comments to plug into the random number generator and that is how we know what number to plug in and who matches up with it - hope that makes sense.

Good luck to you all and we will announce the winner on March 9th! (As mentioned in the update we have switched the day from the 14th to the 9th).

Also, Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to Papa Moose (my dad, who Lillie calls Papa Moose). We love and miss you!
