I could not have asked for a better gift to wrap up my 5 Days of Blog Giveaways, as I am in LOVE with monogramming! I would put our names on everything if I could afford it!
This adorable tote comes to you from Jan's-n-stitches on Etsy.com! This is the shop where Billy's sister ordered Vivi's adorable school backpack as seen here.
So being that I LOVE that backpack so very much, I contacted sweet Ms. Jan and asked if she would like to offer up something from her shop for my giveaway. I would have never imagined she would be giving away something so CUTE!! And just in time for summer as this would make the perfect beach tote or a carry-all around the house. It is made in wipe able fabric (not sure that is a word-but you Mom's know how important that feature is!) and can be monogrammed to the winner's specifications and thread color choice! With shipping costs this gift would retail for $30! Thank you, Jan for this wonderful finale to my Blog Giveaway Week!!

Phew!! What a fun...but exhausting blog week! You can review all of my giveaways, here. I loved this so much, ya'll...that I will definitely be doing it again...kinda like a "Laurie's Favorite Things" segment...although I am fairly certain that Oprah copyrighted that phrase. No really...she did. So I won't be calling it that. But nonetheless...I am thinking Spring and Fall Giveaways! That gives me all summer to think up what my wonderful prizes should be. :)
So go enter all the giveaways and stay tuned next week for the winners!

I 'Like' Jans-n-Stitches
I WOULD LOVE the monogrammed backpack cooler. That would be awesome and used wonderfully on hikes and zoo trips and well anything. Really hard to pick just one thing. Lots of great stuff and pretty affordable too.
Problem is if I come back later I'll forget what I commented already. :-)
The tote would be used as a beach bag now that we've realized the beach really is just a day trip and loving it!!
Love the Ella monogrammed throw!
I will use that tote as an overnight bag for our trips to the lake. Perfect!
My favorite thing(s) on the site are all the awesome bags. I am such a bag person. I've never liked purses, but LOVE bags.
I linked this giveaway on FB.
If I won this bag it would be a great Mommy bag. My current Mommy bag is actually an awesome diaper bag, that hopefully will soon be used for...diapers. :) Therefore I will need a new Mommy bag. :)
I read this blog because it makes me feel more normal. :) I love the blessing that God has put on your family by showing others how important family is, no matter how it's formed.
Blessings!

Okay, why I read your blog. That's a tough one to sum up and I'm loving the comments others have left.
I read your blog because you're honest and real about issues. You don't sugar coat things and you make sure people know what it's really like living as an adoptive family and a transracial family. And now a family with 4 kids. There's also your heart, it's huge! And I love when you get on your soap box about things, you haven't done that in a long time!
I love this!!!! I would use it for a summer tote!
I love the mini market tote! In brown! LOVE IT!
But my husband likes the sexy red apron. just sayin. ;)
I 'liked' them on facebook!

The nap roll is definitely the most fun thing on her site! That is the coolest! Sure wish I was crafty.....
I love the moc croc lunch bag.. fashionable way to save money by taking my lunch to work!
If I won the bag, I would gift it to my mommy.. I gave her a monogrammed lunch box last year because she went back to school, and this would totally match it!
I love the little tiered tops - the "bubble" print in pink is really cute!
I "liked" Jans-n-stitches on FB. :) I really like the black and white print lunch bag, too -- so cute for work or for carrying Zoe's lunch!
I woul definitely pick out the flirty apron for myself!
I liked them on Facebook!
I would use this bag on our trips to the zoo or museum!
I find you and your blog very encouraging. You fill me with hope that I can be a good transracial mama, afford to stay home and have a big transracial family! And I love tour honesty :)
I've been reading your blog for about 8 months, I think -- we are an adoptive family too, and I enjoy reading your perspectives on different things. And your kids are pretty adorable too!

I love the bag you're giving away! My second favorite item is the lime green & aqua bag. I think it would be a great wet bag for swimming lessons and our local reservoir.
Just "liked" jans-n-stitches on Facebook. Whatever did we do before Facebook? :)
As a new mom to a girl, I love her tiered tops for girls! Do girlie,and pretty!
With summer coming, I think this looks like a wonderful beach bag!
I follow your blog because it inspires me! I am always searching your blog for party ideas, food ideas, decorating ideas. When we brought our foster kids home, I looked to see what you did for "J" so I could copy you. I like to see what you are ready. I love to hear about the kids. I find every accept of your family interesting...ps I would love to hear more about you and your husband too! :)
I've read your husband's blog for awhile now. I like yours because it's, well, inspirational. We're hoping to adopt a baby girl too. :0)
If I won this bag, I'd use it to schlep our stuff to and from the local reservoir where we swim.
i love the back pack cooler!
i use the bag for so many reasons, lots of great ways to use it!~
love your blog so i can keep up on your precious family and I LOVE ADOPTION :)

If I won, I'd use the bag as a diaper bag, throw kids stuff in and general Mom bag.
Love your blog for a bunch of reasons. Love seeing all of your amazing decorating/party ideas and love love reading about your kids.
I read your blog because you are so open with everyday challenges of a mommy and of adoption and transracial adoption.. It is really a good resource for those of us that are pre-adoption. I also love the crafts and parties!
I read your blog because I like to hear other stories of how God has blessed others through adoption, we are about to start the process to adopt another baby!
If I won this I would use it as a tote for summer lake trips!
I liked the backpack cooler...perfect for the zoo (which is our favorite place to go)!!
Love the spa wrap!!! The zebra one is too cute :]
This would be a great pool bag!! We spend our summers at the pool :]
I love reading your blog because it gives me insight into adoption's trials and joys. It gets me excited about adding to our family in this way! And I get to keep up with an old college friend :]
