A True American Hero

Thank you to Pete Scobell for sponsoring today's post....

If you've read this blog for any amount of time, you know my personal connection, and love for our men and women in the armed forces.  And I am always thinking of ways to support them.

Today I am asking for a minute to introduce you to an amazing American hero.  Pete Scobell.  He selflessly served our country as a Navy Seal for 17.  After suffering a traumatic brain injury overseas, he turned back to his love of music to help him heal.

His album, Walkin A Wire, comes out today.  He has collaborated with music royalty Wynonna Judd and Cactus Moser.  One of the songs, "Hearts I Leave Behind," was written at the request of Taya Kyle, widow to American Sniper Chris Kyle.  You all know the love and respect I hold for the both of them.  It is a song he released earlier this year and went on to reach #1 on the iTunes Country Singles Chart.  All proceeds from the song were donated to the Chris Kyle foundation.  Pete Scobell has also been out on tour this summer with Marcus Luttrell's Patriot Tour.

The songs on the album really spoke to my heart.  Even if you're not a huge country fan, I believe everyone will get something out of these songs.


As a special gift to you, I am hosting a giveaway of a signed copy of Pete Scobell Band's new album!  Just comment below and tell me how you think you can help veterans and those still serving our country. Contest ends September 29th and is only open to US and Canada.


I am ALSO hosting a giveaway to win an Orca Cooler valued at $239.99.  Visit this link to enter!

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
