march giveaway

Please enjoy a conversation Jilly's 17 year old daughter, Jaci, had with her friend one weekend when my boys were out of town....

Jaci- Hey Chelsea, whacha doin this weekend?

Chelsea- Um, I dunno.  Thinkin about a movie or some shopping.  What are you doin?

Jaci- Well, my mom's best friend is spending the night.  Want to come over?

Chelsea-  "Your mom's best friend is spending the night?" (said in a very confused voice)

Jaci- Ya, why?

Chelsea- Um, my mom and her friends don't do that. (pause) Where does your dad sleep?

Jaci- Downstairs on the couch.

Do you think that's weird, because I don't.  Who made up the rule that just because you're out of high school, you can't spend the night with your best friend?  And how chivalrous of Jilly's husband to give up his spot in the bed so I could be comfy.  I think there should be more bestie sleep overs, and I think I'm naming March official "Best Friend Month."


In honor of Best Friend month, Jilly and I are hosting a super fun giveaway.  We want to take YOU and your BFF out on the town for a fantastic day of thrifting.  And we've teamed up with Lindsey from {Better After} whose coming too! 

Lindsey is one of our favorite cyber friends and we love to see all the amazing and creative transformations on her blog. Honestly, if she ever gets tired of blogging, she should really consider stand up comedy.  We can't wait to meet this hilariously adorable mother of three.


Imagine it, hooking up all day for some serious junkin, laughing, and picking up so many deals our wallets will be smokin'.  Oh, and who could forget about one of the most important things.  Lunch.  We'll take you to one of our favorite spots, and it's on US!

So....do you want to come???  If you live outside of the Phoenix area and you can get yourself here, we're more than happy to put you up for the night.  Now that could be fun.

We'll get in touch with the winner and come up with a plan that works best for everyone.  We can't wait!

Here's all you have to do:

Subscribe to our blog- 1 entry
Become a follower of our blog- 1 entry
Like us on facebook {here}- 1 entry

Please make a separate comment for each entry to increase you chances of winning.  A winner will be chosen via random.org on March 13th. 


Here's to my best friend and biggest cheer leader.  In 10 years, we have never run out of things to talk about, never been sick of each other, and have never had dinner without dessert.  We've made over everything from our living rooms to our husbands, thrown every kind of party imaginable, and have treasure hunted all over the country.  We've laughed A LOT together, and we've done our share of crying.  We've finished a hundred projects and have a hundred more.  We both get ridiculously excited about food, good deals, and Oprah.  We always tell each other the truth, and we still find any excuse to be together. 

I love you Jilly.

    I really like your blog. The follow link is broken, is it enough that I just began following you via bloglovin? (I'm not a super high tech person....)

    Peace,
    Edie

  24. You seem to only get credit if you are a new follower. What if I am already subscribed, liked, and following? I get 1 measly point for a comment since I am already a huge fan and stalker since the beginning? Do I get any points for creeping outside the windows on sleepovers??? And I am sure Andy welcomes the peace and quiet of SPORTS CENTER and a couch.
    No seriously, your best exposure will come from Sharing your FB posts. Is that counted?

  25. Curtis, Curtis, Curtis, you get one entry for each. Just make sure you make two more comments as good as the first oone and you'll have two more chances to win. We know you're our biggest fan, but the sleepover stalking has me concerned.

    xo,
    Mia

  28. Love this post, I am forwarding this to my husband. He was taken aback the first time he really met my best friend. She was coming into town for the weekend. She was getting in really late. I just told her the code to our garage and told her to come on in and make herself at home. My husband was very concerned about her coming in so late so he left a trail of lights on to the guest bedroom. I chuckled and told him to get some sleep she would be fine. Well at about 2:30am her she came bouncing in our bedroom and jumped on the bed with my husband right inbetween us... She recounted some hilarious travel tales and we all had quite a few laughs. I think we all finally go another hour of sleep when the sun came up:) However they too have been best pals every since. He still can't believe a grown woman would come and jump in bed with us! LOL!
