Welcome to Giveaway Week, Day 1

65 Comments


This week marks one year of Nourishing Days. I started this site on February 10, 2009 and what a fun year it has been. I started blogging with no real genre in mind. Then when I started detailing my journey towards a more nourishing home I was amazed at the response. So I began taking blogging a bit more seriously and dove head first into sharing everything that I was learning.

I am so glad that I did.

I am often asked why I blog. To tell you the truth I find myself evaluating my own heart on that matter frequently. But it boils down to this: I want to share the things I wish I had known for the first 24 years of my life. I am so thankful for the healing I have found through real foods and keeping a more natural home. And if God can use my own journey to help someone else then all praise be to Him.

So to say thank you I wanted to host a week (6 whole days!) of giveaways here. The products that will be given away are from sponsors who I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know. Their products are ones that I have used and enjoyed and fully support. I am so excited to give you all an opportunity to try them as well.

Each day this week I will be posting a new giveaway. I will provide a link where you can read about the product of the day and you will come back to that days post (or a link provided) and sign up for your entries into the contest. Next Monday all of the winners will be announced and a "consolation prize" will be given out as well.

Ironically, since we moved here, and especially since Annabelle was born, I have been "working" more than ever. I say working with parentheses because I think the phrase working mother is redundant for mothers and wives alike, if they are really doing their job. Because Stewart also "works" from home, (again parentheses because he also…

    i tried soaking oatmeal when i was pregnant and it made me terribly sick (much more than usual.) my toddler ate it without any side effects. have you read anything about sensitivities in pregnant women?

  2. Congratulations on one year! It is a joy to share with others what you’ve learned along the journey. Amanda Rose has been there for me for the past 3 yrs of my journey. She first taught me about Phytic Acid and I now enjoy grains again because I know how to properly soak & consume them. A great choice!
