A Birthday, Our Blessed Mother and a Blog Giveaway

by Filed Under: Give-Aways, Gratitude, Minnesota Me, My Girls, Special Events 69 Comments

Today is our Angela’s birthday.

Extreme Angela I

She is now seven year’s worth of spunky!

In honor of Angela and in thanksgiving for the gift of all children, I am going to host a giveaway. Because it is October—the month dedicated to the Holy Rosary—I would like to give away three of my favorite things:

I. An autographed copy of Karen Edmisten’s book, The Rosary: Keeping Company with Jesus and Mary;
II. A copy of this rosary CD;
III. And a hand-crafted rosary by Barbara of Praying for Grace

Just leave a comment wishing Angela a happy birthday. She is quite the character, as you may know, and we thank God for her.

Good luck! The giveaway will be open until midnight tonight, and I’ll announce the three winners tomorrow morning.

    Happy birthday, Angela! Seven is a very important number, and a great age to be. You are growing up so fast – I think I started reading MN Mom when you were 4 – is that possible??? Have a wonderful day!

    Happy birthday, Angela! Seven is the age of reason – and we'll be very eager to hear some of your reasoning in the coming year!

    Happy Birthday, Angela! I love hearing about you and your adventures and your zest for life. I have a little girl in my house that reminds me of you. 🙂
    Enjoy your day.
    (By the way, your mom's giveaway is great, but I would have wished you a happy birthday anyway!)

    Happy Birthday Angela! I'm sure you would have fun with my little Anna who just turned 7 too!
    I read this blog faithfully and love the humor, but I don't think I have ever posted a comment. God bless!

    No need for any incentive to wish Angela a happy birthday, she has always been an inspiration to me, with her wonderful smile and her spirit. Seven is awesome fun, I hope she really enjoys it – and her parents do too!

    Happy Birthday Angela. I hope you had a day filled with blessings because you are a blessing to your family. How special to have a birthday the same month as Our Blessed Mother. May she watch over you and guide you to know the love of Jesus.
