Hello, dear reader. You might have noticed that I’ve posted quite a lot during the month of October. You see, I noticed that I was nearing 500 blog posts, and I decided to challenge myself to see if I could make it by the end of the month. Well, it appears like I barely did!
To commemorate the occasion, I’ve decided to host a small giveaway. I’m excited to give this “Home Sweet Cozy Home” Shelf Sitter and Pumpkin Scrubbie away to one of you!
To enter, simply leave a comment below. The winner will be randomly chosen on Friday, November 5, 2021. This giveaway is open to US residents only.
I hope you are encouraged when you visit my blog. It has been a joy, and a privilege, to write my thoughts here.
I will continue posting in November, but probably not quite as often as I did this month. But who knows?
We will continue along with our Let Me Be a Woman study, and I hope more encouraging content is on the way.
So please, comment below to enter. Any old comment will do. I’m looking forward to mailing this package to one of you!
Winner Update: There ended up being 10 eligible entries, and a random number generator chose the eighth commenter. Congratulations, Mariel!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. Would you like to look for something special for the little ones in your life? Please stop by my Etsy shop or online store.
Congrats on your 500th post! I’ve followed you for years and your blog always encourages me so much. God bless!
Thank you, Lara!
Hello, Lara! I have been unable to contact the original winner. The number has been redrawn, and you are the winner! Please email your mailing address to me at randncrone@gmail.com and I will get it in the mail for you.
Lol!
I HAVE noticed, and I have had several thoughts about that. I had no idea you were in a personal race. I actually got inspired for myself, thinking that I could strive to be so dedicated to my blog as you are. I was like, “Wow, a post every day!” when I stepped back to see how often you were posting.
It’s actually kind of funny!
Have a great day!

That is funny, Laurie! You are super dedicated to your blog.🙂 There have been times when I haven’t been at all, lol. I hope your day is great, too!
Well…I was having some thoughts of how I need to get it together! I actually wrote out a plan last night! For whatever reason, you did inspire me!
That’s so great!
500!?! Wow, I’m glad I found you along the way. Thanks for what you do!
Thanks, Amanda!
Hello sweet friend. I always enjoy what you have to say. You have such a lovely, calming and encouraging voice. Congratulations on your 500 post.
Thank you so much, Charlene. You are such an encouragement!
Congratulations! I have no idea what all it entails to create a blog site and keep it going. I am sure it takes a lot of time and work, tho. I know I look forward to reading your thoughts and I get a lot from it. Many times I need to really stop and think about my own thoughts and actions and if I am aligning with The Lord the best I can. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you so much for the encouragement, Darlene! You are too sweet!
Congratulations Nicole! I found your site yesterday and I’m very glad I did. I’m looking forward to what you have to say in November.
