Click & Carry on Eli’s Lids

Spring has sprung and I’m so looking forward to the warm weather (though I am pretty spoiled with endless Spring/Summer in Southern California).

I’ve been purging my closet of my fat preggo clothes… and (unfortunately) my skinny pre-4-kiddos-in-5-years clothes… blarg. (Because if I ever do lose the last 15 lbs, I’ll be so effin’ stoked that I’ll buy all new stuff.)

Spring cleaning has added loads of our old items on Craig’s List and a few dollars in my pocket. And I’m prepping for our neighborhood garage sale in a couple of weeks.

I love simplifying in the Spring. I love our family sunset hikes. I love the Japanese Blooming Peach tree we planted in our front yard. We call it “Nannie’s Tree” and it will bloom bright pink flowers every February. And we will celebrate my mom’s too-short life. I love the 60 feet of soft outdoor lights threaded through the trees in our backyard just waiting to illuminate Spring Barbeques. God, I wish my mom could see the lights. I know we would have picnicked in the yard on a warm evening and she would look around and say everything felt “magical,” because that’s what she would say when I did anything she thought was particularly clever.

Spring means new beginnings. Good beginning, or bad beginnings you have to make livable good.

How about winning something fun this spring? Just to help you fill in all that newfound space in your freshly Spring cleaned home. How about winning something BIG! As in…

Eli's Lids Click & Carry Giveaway

(Get it? Click & Carry. As in “click” with your new camera and “carry” your new camera in a cute bag. You have no idea how long it took for that to make sense in my head. Good Lord, sometimes I wonder how I get through the day keeping a biz going and 4 humans alive!)

$250 gift card to Kelly Moore Bags

Start Spring with a rad camera or get that lens you’ve had your eye on… then put your camera in a lovely bag!

(Two winners… the first one gets their choice and the second gets the other.)

The only thing I ask is for you to bake me cookies if you win. J/K… unless you want to… then totally not J/K…
