If you are visiting from the Ultimate Blog Party over at 5 Minutes for Mom, WELCOME! Each year Janice and Susan throw this amazing party for bloggers, which enables hundreds of us to get to know each other from the comfort of our own living rooms...offices...bedrooms...kitchens, and more. I have actually made quite a few good friends from blogging, and can attest that these blogger friends can, in fact, become your IRL (in real life) friends as well!
Here at The Wonder Years, I blog about motherhood, faith, and friendship. I have also written posts about photography (I ran a photography business for 6 years), breastfeeding (I am a Certified Lactation Educator), and ministry (you can visit my ministry page over at www.jaimiebowman.com). I was previously a guest contributor over at 5 Minutes for Mom, so you may have seen my post there about "Getting Your Photography Business Up and Running."
I started blogging 5 years ago, and this post is my 502nd post! SO, in honor of my 500th post (which is still being edited because it is very special), I am going to do a giveaway! Who likes coffee??? Who likes Starbucks??
The winner of this giveway will receive a $10 gift card to Starbucks. All you have to do is be a follower and leave a comment. No complex entries here, people! I want to thank the followers I have had thus far, and welcome any new ones, so everyone who is a follower and leaves a comment will be entered. You can enter once per day, and the entries close at midnight on Friday, April 20th.
If you'd like to follow me on Twitter, be sure to visit me there too.
Thanks for stopping by!
Visiting from the UPB and following now.

I breastfed both of my children and would do so again. Not all mothers are capable of breast feeding and I feel sorry for those who can't. You really strengthen the bond with your children when breastfeeding them.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from UBP. Just joined this year.
