Big Secret: Tim has been gone in Ukraine for the past 2 weeks – and he’s coming home tonight (TONIGHT!)! I didn’t mention anything on my blog because I didn’t really want to advertise his absence, but oh-how-I’ve-missed-him.
In fact, this is the longest we’ve been apart from each other since I was 17. My heart could hardly stand it. I missed his voice, his smile, his wisdom, his friendship. And – I’m not gonna lie – I missed his help (What a glorious sound the garage door opening is at the end of the day, am I right?).
I planned the fashion series in part because reviews are generally pretty easy to write; it’s undemanding work. The other part is that I really like hosting giveaways. It makes my day to be able to e-mail winners and say, “You won!” (I have to admit, though, that I sometimes wish that I could always pick a regular reader/commenter instead of all of the sweepstakes people that come over…but I gotta keep things fair).
Even so, the odds are pretty good so I hope you’ll keep entering. And just to show that you can indeed win, tell me in the comments if you’ve won anything here in the past and, if so, what it was. To give hope to the masses.
Also – I mentioned what my tinies have been wearing on their feet, but I don’t want to close out the series without mentioning my new Paulina Mary Jane sandals, compliments of KEEN (pictured: right). They are super comfortable & breathable (AND made of real leather – no stinky feet!) – equally perfect for wearing with shorts or a skirt. I particularly like that they’re not completely flat (I’m not a fan of flats) so they actually offer support when I’m walking.
Here are three ways you can interact w/ the KEEN brand:
- If you’re looking for high-quality sandals, water shoes, or hiking boots, do check out their collection.
- If you want to win KEEN shoes and an Open Diving Adventure in Hawaii for you & a friend, do that before July 31st.
- If you would like to keep up with the KEEN brand, you can Like KEEN on Facebook or Follow KEEN on Twitter.
I hope you enjoyed perusing my fashion finds (I also hope that it is obvious that I am super picky and put great care into what I feature here).
Now it’s back to personal posts and musings. Yay.
Do you like it when I have periodic themed giveaway events here?
