Homa said...

I would love to have something for my new camera as well as something to motivate me to clean. Suggestions - I would like to see a floor plan of your home. I just can't visualize the layout and I love floorplans. Other than that, I love your blog.

Jennifer said...

I would love to be picked! I love this blog and almost everything you put on it! I'm also expecting a baby this month and could use the pick me up. Maybe the excitement would encourage the little man to make his debut!

It's all the pretzels... and not being able to get them! But either way... very cool March giveaway... Where did it go?

Cynthia said...

Charlotte said...

The mother lode giveaway is one of my favorite things you do. Just thinking about all that fun-ness adds a little sparkle to my day.

As to nice-spirited suggestions, I really enjoyed the occasional features you used to do on etsy artists and others who were so helpful and generous in the days and months after nie's accident.

It seems like you've gone away from that, which is perfectly fine, but I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of that again from time to time.

Candace said...

I love this blog, pick me pick me.

Courtney said...

I'm determined to win one of these motherlode giveaways. Is March my month? I sure hope so!

I, too, read Quick as a Cricket when I was little. Will definitely carry on the reading with my little ones. I love this blog and all the neat ideas/things I want to purchase(!) I gather from reading.

Hoping against hope my 2 year old would keep that bow tie on. If not, his baby brother is due any day so I'll just have to put it on him instead!

Liz said...

Another great giveaway!

Thanks for your awesome blog!

Hailee said...

I hope I win!

Misty.Creek said...

I'm tempted to clicky the linky at the end of your post to learn the 1 weird old trick to cut down my belly (hoping it's NOT exercise) but I just know the weird trick is to give them all my money and then have none left with which to feed said belly! (I REALLY want that Jo Tote, pretty please. Thank you very much.)

Nick and Jill said...

Read this every morning while feeding the babe. It makes even mondays go well. Pick me!

My little boy is 4 months old he has four big sisters and could certainly use a new bowtie and anything boy related....Plus momma could really use those chocolate covered pretzels.

girlsmama said...

What's not to like? Beauty, inspiration, and wit. All in one spot. Lovely.

jodi b said...

Great springy giveaway.

Amanda said...

i want to wear that bowtie while eating the pretzels. that's my plan if i win.

amanda said...

Wow, because I didn't already love you and dear cjane to pieces, you made me love you to tiny specks of dust. This is awesome, that book is fantastic...I think the kids I nanny would love it. I would give the bow tie to my sister who is waiting to get pregnant and we're all certain it will be a boy (so she has tons of boy clothes stashed already), and I'd like to hear the CD since you're giving it away. I am into photography so I love love love the bag! And...!!!! I AM SO HEAD OVER HEELS FOR CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS! So you see, I must win. I hope I do! :) Thanks for the chance!

Fun giveaway! Love the blog!

Gingerlylizzy said...

Quick as a cricket. Best book ever. We have this one but I can think of two babies coming in our family who would love it. As for the blog suggestions... ummm, if I was good enough to suggest something to you, I would be making money doing the same! Keep up the GREAT work!

Sarah said...

I think we look related...maybe even sisters. Or, that could be my wishful thinking. Your blog is beautiful the way it is, so pick me!

Diana said...

The perfect spring goodies - I would love to win them.

I read your blog every morning with a cup of tea. It's a lovely part of my daily routine.

Sophie said...

CJane I love all of your blogs! I check every morning and night..in hopes that maybe you decided to post twice. I think about you so much (and I have dreamed about you too!)because you are just so awesome! I love awesome people. And, I would love to win these goodies!

Andrea said...

I would love all of this but especially the Quick As A Cricket book. It is also my 3 year old's favorite and we read MY copy from when I was a kid (it is even inscribed Merry Christmas 1984 to my brother and me!).

JK said...

Thanks for all the giveaways!

Emily said...

This blog is great! I really can't think of any suggestions for improvement.

annie said...

the only thing that would make me happier than winning this would be my husband finding a job. it would make my day!

Katherine said...

Thanks so much for the opportunity!

Jenny said...

Hurray for April and April babies! My youngest will be one on Friday! That's a good day to have a baby. :) Good luck!

Jessica said...

So fabulous! Love this blog and the many ideas that come from it.

Serena Cherry said...

I have to say, those pretzels look might good! Count me in and I like this blog a lot!

Hannah said...

My only wish for this blog is that I am the only one who read it. That way, my odds of winning all these goodies would be much greater. :)

Emily said...

I always love reading what people love.

kob said...

Fingers crossed!!! But don't worry cjane. I won't let the goodies go to my head if I win. A victory lap around the office, maybe. But that's all! :D Keep blogging; I love checking back every day to see what else is new in your life!

Meg said...

Farewell March! Hope you had a great Easter.

~Mommy+Me~ said...

Wow, how generous, it would be awesome to win all those goodies! Really no advice or suggestions for the blog, I like it as is.

CarolAnne said...

I so enjoy your blogs. Have a safe delivery. The Chief will look so BIG after holding your new baby. He is a darling, by the way, with the kind of cheeks this grandmother loves to kiss.

Mrs. Johnson 4th said...

March went out like a LION-where is Spring???

Heidi said...

Yes, March is over, but what excitement April will bring you...such as a baby!!!

Rachel said...

A suggestion for this blog? That I win this giveaway.

Jana Clegg said...

One day I'll win...I just know it. I love how you encourage the mundane tasks of life to be exciting...like cleaning music. Thank you!

Aileen said...

I really truly love this blog. Please ME ME!!!

amydear said...

I would only give you kind-spirited comments, CJane. I'd love the mother lode!

Shauna said...

I will be 33 this month and what a great way to celabrate, a bunch of free stuff from cjane!!! I have Faith that I will be picked!!!

Tiffany said...

I love your blog! Crossing fingers I win!

Nicole London said...

Oh I hope I get picked! I sure love this blog and all of the cute things featured on it, especially the chief (does this increase my chance of winning? jk) Thanks for bringing smiles in March!

Leiann said...

I love your blogs! Great giveaway! And to be totally honest I would be so happy with the chocolate covered pretzels. I tried to find them the other day and was unable. Feel pity for this poor pregnant woman (me)! Silly cravings.

Sara said...

How exciting. I would so enjoy this.

Rachel Sue said...

So, this is going to sound like brown nosing, but really, this is my preferred review blog. I don't think you should change a thing.

k said...

Wow I think I'm going to win this one!

kathryn said...

I love the little bow-tie!

Lisa said...

I would love to win these goodies! Here's to hoping that baby comes soon...

Lisa said...

My only suggestion (not blog related) is can we make April go by a little faster? This little boy baby of mine is due this month and I can't wait to meet him, hold him and smell his sweet breath.

Lisa said...

I love what you do. My husband, on the other hand, doesn't. The reason? I shop too much! Anyway, thanks for the opportunity to win! Love the bag and the cute little tie!

Danielle said...

I'm in! Although the chances of me winning... slight.

Iliana said...

All of the stuff is so nice, but I'd really like the pretzels. I just can't bring myself to put them in the Costco cart cause I feel like everyone is staring, and knowing they're for me and that I won't even share with the kids.

Katherine DeMartini Barrus said...

Quick as a Cricket is one of our favorite books too. How can you not like it? And chocolate dipped pretzels? So yum. And reading all your witty thoughts and feeling like I know you (which I now do). You are a delight.

mikelle said...

pick me, pick me!

love this blog... suggestions? i can't think of any. :)

Jenny said...

What an amazing giveaway! I always love all the fun things you have on this blog.

Amy said...

From one baby maker to the other: PLease pick me, i need some enjoyment in between all the nausea and sleepiness. Can't wait for your little bundle to arrive, I have 5 more months!

kat said...

you are so generous with both your thoughts and your goods. thank you for continuing to write inspite of the cranky pants out there!

and good luck hatching soon!

Andrea said...

I'd love a motherlode giveaway! :)

rosaleal said...
