Happy Tuesday! Today's post is a very exciting one, because if you scroll down, you'll see that I'm giving away $200 to Nordstrom in honor of Mother's Day! But first, here's a little bit about the look. If y'all can't tell, I think I'm having some beach fever with these tropical vibes in today's post. I mean how could I not in these palm print sandals?! I have already begun to plan outfits around them for our upcoming beach trip. I had purchased this little palm print dress for Madeline a few weeks back, and when my shoes came in, I immediately thought of the cutest coordinating looks. Something else y'all may have noticed around here recently is that I have developed a love for midi dresses. I feel like I style just about one on here every week. But I absolutely adore the easy breezy feel to them. This flouncy one definitely deserves some attention, if you ask me. It has the prettiest ruffle hem details and the fabric is amazing! It's under $60 and comes in black also. 

...

Now on to the giveaway details. If you asked me what is my absolute favorite part of life, my answer would without a doubt be the fact that I get to be Madeline's Mama. Motherhood is the hardest, most amazing, most difficult, most rewarding, happiest thing one can ever experience. I mean seriously, it involves just about every single emotion that I could possibly think of. It has taught me so much, but overall, it has taught me to be a better person. Everything I do is for my daughter. Even though things haven't been easy at times, the joy I have experienced from raising and watching my sweet girl grow overpowers every single bit of the trying moments. Even though I hear it 100+ times a day, I still get this warm feeling in my heart by hearing her squeaky little voice say "Mama." It is a gift unlike any other, and I'm so thankful that the Lord chose me to be the mama to my precious girl. I know all of you mamas can relate to these feelings. 

Since it's the week of Mother's Day, I couldn't think of a better time to say a huge "thank you" to all of you. When I became a mama, my life (and in turn, my blog) underwent some major changes. I could never begin to express my gratitude to those of you who continue to follow me through the ways that my life has evolved on this amazing journey of motherhood. AND I couldn't begin to express just how grateful I am to all of the mamas who follow me and have given me sound, motherly advice throughout this journey. There's just a special connection that you make with mamas...even though we are completely different people raising completely different babies, we get each other! It's like we have an instant connection haha. It truly is an amazing thing when moms support each other. Anyways, as my way of saying thank you, I'm giving away $200 to my favorite store, Nordstrom. Sometimes at the end of the way before I go to bed, I find it so relaxing to browse the new arrivals on Nordstrom. I find SO many great things on there (as y'all know if you see my outfit posts), whether it's for me or Madeline. 

Anyone can enter, whether you're a mama (fur mamas included :D), mama-to-be, you want to give it to your mama, you will be giving it to another mama, or if you simply want to treat yourself! The giveaway will run through Saturday May 13th, and I will randomly choose and email a winner by Monday May 15th (the day after Mother's Day). This giveaway is in no way sponsored by Nordstrom. I simply want to celebrate mamas and express my gratitude for all of you who continue to follow me through my journey of motherhood. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart! You can enter the giveaway by following the Rafflecopter widget below. Good luck! :)


Thanks for stopping by! P.S. Don't forget to check out the Mother's Day event I'm hosting this Saturday! 
Delightfully Yours,

It's been such a rough time for her and yet she goes above and beyond for everyone else to make sure they're happy! She's the best and totally deserves this!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I love this giveaway so much! My Mama and I butted heads a lot growing up, but now that I've moved out and am married we have become such best friends. She's my confidant, my biggest cheerleader, the one who always has good advice...just my best friend. She always puts others ahead of herself and never treats herself to shopping trips, so this gift card would be just for her!

    Thanks for doing this giveaway!

    xoxo, SS

  52. What a fantastic giveaway! I have three amazing children who have taught me more than I ever thought they could. My son, has autism, and has been the most amazing teacher and inspired me to pursue a career in special education. My girls are absolutely amazing with him and I couldn't be prouder. While this journey was one that we weren't expecting to be one, we wouldn't change it for the world because it has made our whole family stronger! I would love to have this gift card to treat myself to some new clothes, ones that I can wear in the classroom and maybe out on a date (rare occasion). Thank you so much!
