briannajenkins said...

OOOOO! What a fun giveaway! Crossing my fingers!

jennie s. said...

Your giveaways are truly so exciting!

Katie said...

Please please pretty please with a cherry on top!?

Sarah said...

I think the next question you'll be answering on dear cjane is "Whats that gorgeous babies name that you just gave birth to?" Wouldn't it be nice if you could answer that question prior to the giveaway is chosen??? I'm just sayin'. Are you feeling lucky? I sorta am!

Kristen M said...

March was so marchy wasn't it? I'm crossing my fingers for your baby to make its arrival safely & soon!

I like that you share so many different products on this blog. I love that you share the products you've blogged about with a MOTHERLODE giveaway.

Melanie said...

March was kind of gloomy, but this giveaway is fantastic, so that makes up for it.

Evie B. said...

I mean really, how does one improve on perfection?

Love this blog, just like the others.

Pick me, won't you?

Kate said...

me me!!! especially since blogger is being a stinker and i've tried to leave this comment 3 times.
ps. hoping that babe comes soon.

Olivia Carter said...

Oh my goodness, suggestions for you? You are doing great! I love it. I wouldn't change a thing.

And what a great giveaway! I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Hayley said...

Ooh, pick me! This would make my April!

Katherine said...

C Jane, you're great! And so are all of your goodies!! I can just taste that chocolate covered pretzel now!

Alison said...

Wow! What a giveaway!! Thank you to everyone for putting this on. :D

Micha said...

So, I pretty much think you're awesome. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks... I'm the only one that matters, right???


Anywho - Great motherlode giveaway. It's so generous of you to do these.

Anonymous said...

you have an awesome blog :)

Sharstin79@aol.com

Aimee said...

This would make my April, for sure! Love the blog... keep up all the hard work... (and spotlighting cute things for little boys)!

*Katie May* said...

What a sweet giveaway! You rock girl!

k said...

in google reader - the ads show up first and then you have to scroll down a lot for the text (at least for me!) - not sure if you meant to do that? otherwise, great job here!

Jen said...

awesome giveaway from an awesome blog!

Megan said...

Give me a C, Give me a J, Give an A-N-E! She'll give you answers about random stuff! Yay CJANE! (Spirited enough for you?-and I just like the sound of all this fun stuff)

lisa said...

There are two things that get me to check out this site (so keep 'em comin'): 1. new vendors/products with honest reviews and 2. these giveaways. A suggestion? I have a crazy fascination with other people's decor. Take a room (I think you did this with your living room already) and feature each item. It could take a week or more, but I love hearing the stories behind the items. Also, now that you've got Chup's help, feature man products. He's got style, right?

ang :o) said...

i hope i win. i want that camera bag sooo bad! thanks!

Amy said...

Love your blog-want to hear more about your belly baby!

Kelly @ The Startup Wife said...

Ooh! The bag would go so well with my new camera! :)

Caitlin said...

Give Chup a weekly post to talk about stuff he's into!

Daines Fam said...

I love to read your blogs...you keep things interesting.

Eve said...

So here's my question (and I assume if I ask it here, the answer has to be yes?):

Are you going to let Blue Lily do hospital pictures? Pleeeease?

Signed,
Wendy's SIL who loves her and wants what she wants

Lynda Halliger-Otvos said...

Would it be? Could it be ?

My first giveaway entry ?

Ever in Blogland?

Yes.... and I would be so honored to win yours Mrs K!

(In Spanish, Lynda means beautiful, you know, in case you might still be looking for ideas...)

JackieD said...

my baby is due april 14th, i think that is near your own due date, so even if i dont get picked we will both be winners this april!

Jessica Hills said...

I was just laughing at your post on Easter Dinner. Your family just sounds wonderful. I am thinking I probably won't win this, but wanted to let you know how much I love your blog.

Susie Q said...

Adore your honesty- great to follow your family life in the most non-stalker way! Will that CD make me want to spring-clean?

JaneMH said...

Good goods :)
Love your blogs & you CJane.

gardeniagirl said...

Cjane, I wish I would also win something. My one wish (for your sake) is that you have that baby soon!

Barb said...

I love the camera tote! If I don't win it, I need to order one! March came in like a lion but went out as a grizzly bear, I want the lamb weather!

huffaker said...

Sheila D. said...

Cindy said...

Looking for a mother to win the motherlode? I am that mother!!

The Dragonfly said...

By Golly, I think I just might win this one if only for the fact that for the first time in my life I CANNOT eat chocolate covered pretzels due to a crazy nursing infant child.

Don't change a thing about this blog . . . it is perfection.

mary said...

Love, love your blog. Anxiously awaiting the announcement of your new little one. Also, love, love those pretzels. (I'm a former Pennsylvanian near where those are made). Yum-O!

JeCaThRe said...

Chocolate covered pretzels and a camera bag? What could be better?

Nothing, except maybe some great shoes. But I'm going to get myself a pair of yellow TOMS to fix that.

It is 5:20am here in Vegas. I've been awake for an hour. This is most definitely not routine for me. If I win, I promise to be grateful for insomnia forever more.

I bought the Quick as a Cricket per your suggestion and we LOVE it! My mom didn't realize the shark was a hammerhead though, and she thought is was a regular looking shark with a seal in it's mouth and she found that to be quiet disturbing!

Here's a short story in honor of March's Motherlode Giveaway:

Audrey Wood and Olive Jo had made a quick trip to visit the Snyders of Hanover who made their favorite Hershey-dipped pretzels. Olive Jo was dressed to the nines in a ripe springtime bowtie she purchased at Likely's Fundraiser. With her fancy tote for her camera in hand, Olive Jo snapped a few photos of Audrey reading "Quick as a Cricket" to the Snyder's new baby boy.

did you know that "Quick as a Cricket" was my favorite book to read to my kids? well it was. It was originally sold at "Discover Toys" home parties-discovery toys was a godsend to those of us who at the time were living in very rural nevada (elko to be exact-when it had 8000 people in town) I love this book and would love to read it to my grandbabies
