Ringing in Summer 2014 – A Sizzling Summer Blog Hop Giveaway! (CLOSED)
Well, it’s the first day of summer, and what better way to ring in the season than to “ring” in the season? This is the second Blog Hop giveaway in which I’ve participated, and I’m very excited to join thirteen other bloggers to give away some of our favorite summer themed items!
For my part in the giveaway, I’ve decided to gift one lucky reader with a few things I really enjoy in my own life.
Do you see that picture on the side of my blog? The sparkly peacock? Well, that’s one of the four napkin rings I picked up in Little Washington, VA during a visit with family a couple of years ago. They were a splurge for me, but I didn’t want to walk away from the opportunity to take these beautiful treasures home with me! I LOVE my napkin rings, and I think they provide a beautiful accent to an otherwise rather boring dining table. So, I’ve included a set of six floral indoor/outdoor napkin rings in this giveaway.
If you read my Twitter profile or have seen my Instagram pictures of my nail polish rack and baskets, you know that I am a nail polish fanatic! I am not necessarily brand loyal, but I do think Essie has some great colors and are good quality polishes. A nice summer manicure and pedicure are “must-haves”, right? So, I’m including a box of the mini Resort Fling collection (summer… resort… you get it, right?).
Finally, to accent those pretty pedicures, I’ve included a Hawaiian Sterling Silver two toned Plumeria toe ring (get it? “Ring” in the season).
So, to summarize, the prize pack is a set of six summer indoor/outdoor napkin rings, the Essie mini Resort Fling nail polish collection, and a Hawaiian Stainless Steel Plumeria toe ring.
To enter this giveaway, please leave a comment describing your favorite part of summer! A winner will be randomly chosen on July 13th.

Favorite part of summer is fireworks on the 4th and watching my son with amazement in his eyes as he looks at the colors in the sky.
Aww, I love the fireworks too, Saniel. My “boy” (dog) isn’t a fan though, so it’s actually one of the parts of Milwaukee summers that are tough(fireworks every week). It’s sweet that your boy enjoys the wonderment of summer fireworks. Enjoy them soon!
Thanks for reading my blog and for entering the giveaway.
This morning I am having a rare day off… summer season, park ranger… I went to the garden and grabbed some fresh peppers and an onion and some kale… and one yellow tomato… two skillets, one with potatoes and onions, one with peppers and onions and kale… sliced tomato on the side. breakfast in 10 minutes, including fresh from the garden food… my very favorite summer thing.

That’s fair, Bethany. But, I have to admit that I love summer in Milwaukee! Thanks for reading and entering the giveaway.
My favorite part of summer is getting to sleep in a little more. I work nights but during the school year I still get up to take my daughter to school. Sometimes I am like a zombie but it just makes me appreciate summer break that much more.

My favorite part of summer is hearing the kids laugh and seeing their smiles as they experience things, we miss so much while they are at school. We always plan little trips to see new and exciting things during the summer and it’s amazing to see their wide eyes and hear there little giggles.
You’ve painted a lovely visual, Samantha. My “kids” are of the four-footed, furry variety, so I don’t see the same types of experiences as you do. I hope y’all enjoy the summer!
Thanks for taking time to read my blog post and foe entering the giveaway.

My favorite part of summer…NOT right now, that’s for sure! I’s Florida and this “afternoon downpour” season.
Ah, I’ve been to Florida this time of year, and I have to agree. Bummer. But, at least the storms are brief! We’re in tornado season here in Wisconsin – also not so much fun (when there’s a watch or warning – otherwise, summer is gorgeous here!). I hope the weather turns sunny and warm AND dry soon!

My favorite part of Summer is taking fun day trips with my family. This year we’re going to an amusement park that’s out of state, a few garden/sculpture exhibits, and the zoo! It’s so nice to be able to get away from everything, even if it’s just for a day at a time. It’s so rejuvenating.

My favorite part of summer is the early mornings just after dawn when warm enough to go outside, it’s light enough to see the flowers that have bloomed overnight and hear the birds. It’s my serene moment of the day.
Me too, Robin! I’ve been doing an early morning boot camp at a nearby park – starting just after sunrise. It’s so peaceful and lovely at that time of day. Enjoy your mornings!

But…the summers make it worth living in WI. Hope you feel the same!

fav part of summer is always getting to spend more time with the g-kids ❤

Thanks Kerri, yes love to spend as much time as possible, especially now that I am planning to move to be with my mom……..I will miss them something awful….not a good feeling 😦 ❤ them!!
Thanks for the chance to win 🙂 !!
Aww, Cindy, at least you’re with family in both scenarios. I’m sure you and your g-kids will find ways to get together (or Skype/Facetime so much that you’ll not miss each other so much – technology has its benefits!). I’m guessing that your mom will be very happy to have you nearby too! I know my parents wish I were closer to them. Good luck with the move!
I enjoy the garden and all the fresh produce available in the summer especially the vine-ripe tomatoes!

Thank you for taking time to read the post, to profess your love for color (and summer!), and to enter the giveaway.

One of my favorite things about summer is that our hours shorten at work! I work at a college so instead of 8-5, we work 8:30 – 4! It makes a huge difference and gives me more time to wade in the creek with the kids!
jjoliet@hotmail.com
Oh, how jealous I am, Jennifer! Although, I must admit that my boss is very lenient with schedules, so I can’t complain too much! Enjoy the extended time with the kids. Your comment about the creek brought to mind an image of pure Americana – beautiful!
Thanks for reading the post and for entering the giveaway.

My favorite part of summer is sitting outside in the shade sipping on Ice Tea, reading a book and looking at my pretty flowers. Also riding the horse for my therapy. I can ride outside if it isn’t too hot. I get to go more often in the summer and the hour ride to get there has nice scenery.
