Whoo-doggy…that’s a big number! Yes, this is my 1,000 post…okay, it’s actually only 999, but I didn’t want to do it on Theme Thursday. What’s weird is that my Dashboard says it is 999, but the posts are numbered and they over 1,000. I think it must have counted posts that I deleted. Also?? Not all were on the same url, but it’s the same blog gosh darnit. So I’m counting the whole lot. Because I make my own rules on my blog. I’m a rebel like that.
Oh well, this is almost one-thousand, and since I’m giving something away I doubt anyone really cares on the technical aspects of how I get to that number, right??
I have a few favorite posts in my time here. You can read this one about Kai’s doctor appointment last year or this one about my reaction to excess solicitors knocking on our door. I also have this one of Kailan writing a note to his sister on proper toddler etiquette. She learned well.
Since this is an auspicious moment in this blog’s life, I thought I could giveaway something. What to give though? It should be fantastic for the 1,000 post, right? How about some fantastic skin care to make you look absolutely fabulous and dewy soft and ten years younger*?
I have a little care package of SkinMedica goodness that includes: Rejuvenative Moisturizer, Exfoliant, Facial Cleanser, Calming Masque, and Daily Sun Protection. It has a retail value of around $180 . Note how I said retail and not my cost. Yeah, I know people and I’m not wimpy about taking advantage of a good thing. You should see how dewey soft my skin looks. 😉
Just comment on the post here before July 27th at midnight, and I will choose a winner from an automatic random integer website.
Good luck to all!
The two reasons why I started this blog
Stacy, congratulations on 1000 posts, that is quite an accomplishment. I so enjoy your blog, photos and tips. My photography and photoshop skills have improved greatly thanks to all you have shared.
Wow! 1000? Congrats!
I just recently found your blog and love reading all your photography and Photoshop tips! And your photography is amazing!!!! Thanks!
Oooh, hey, enter me!
Congrats on 1000! That’s a big accomplishment! I will hit 1000 before the end of the year, too, and I’m already planning a prize giveaway…
Love that last photo…even out of focus I can see the mischief in Anya 🙂
Congratulations! Thanks for taking the time to share with us all that you share. I feel like I know you even though we’ve never “met”, the wonder of the blog. Now off to find out if I have a post counter thingy on my blog…
Hey girl.
Wow, you work, you blog, you take pictures, you sew, you cook and now 1000th blog entry? I’m totally impressed. I love your blog and think one of these days we’re all going to have to play a big girl’s weekend get together to meet each other. Someplace really cool that has massage therapy and good wine!
Ha!
Congratulations!!!

Ive loved following your blog. Congrats on the 1000 posts!
Congratulations on 1000, that is awesome. I am no were near that. I started bloggin for the same reasons, I love how I have a digtal log of all the going on in my crazy world.
I love your blog and I am learning so much from you photography tips.
Yeah for the 1,000th post! 🙂 Older versions of wordpress did really weird things with post numbers. I think it’s hard to judge their accuracy sometimes. Although the latest version appears to be working well.
Can’t go wrong with a skin goodness package for a giveaway either. 🙂
Congrats!! I agree with Julie. I don’t know how you do it all, but I am glad you do. I really enjoy your blog. Thanks!!
Congrats on your 1000th post! Keep ’em coming.
Im down for some dewey skin! Count me in.
i’m a sucker for free anything :)…congrats on the 1000 mark — quite an accomplishment!
Hi Stacy! So nice to meet a fellow Eden Prairian. Your photography is AMAZING!!! I can’t wait to take some time to sit down and read through your tips. I have a Rebel XTi and sadly must admit that I only use it on manual. Eeek…can’t believe I confessed to that. I’d love to add your blog to mine if that’s ok. 🙂
Happy Wednesday!

Hello! I’ve been following your blog and enjoy reading about all your adventures in the midwest (I’m from the midwest as well). I also am an amateur/hobbist photographer and LOVE your photo tips and just looking at your pictures for inspiration!
Congrats and keep up the wonderful work!
Post 1000! That is SO exciting! I wonder how far away I am from post 1000… I need to look into that! 🙂
Skin care. I am all about that! 🙂 Great giveaway!
I’ve been reading your blog for a while now….and I just want to say congrats on reaching 1000! Can’t wait to read the next 1000!

Wow!! First of all, those are two PRECIOUS reasons to start a blog!
Second of all, PICK ME, PICK ME!
Third, wow…1000 posts. Maybe I’ll be there one day.
1000 posts?! I can’t imagine doing all of that…you are amazing!
Woohoo for one THOUSAND!! I am at 600 – at the rate I go, it probably won’t be long. 😉 So much awesome content here. I’m gonna go back and look at your favs!
Now for the giveaway…pick me, pick me! Oh wait, that probably doesn’t help me cause…
I just found this blog last week. I am not exactly sure how, but I love the photography tips and your pictures. The pictures are very nice and so real of your kids. Now if only I spent more time on my blog instead of reading random other people’s maybe I’d reach 1,000 too.
Congrats on your 1000th post!
Been hitting up your photog tips and loving seeing your creativity and of course, those gosh darn kids keep me coming back to see what they’re up to!
1000…whew! That is an accomplishment, for sure. Congrats, Stacy! I love your posts, your photos and getting to be a part of your little community.
(And I would love to win anything that will make me look 10 years younger!! Yahoo!)
Congrats on putting in the work on your posts. Hope you’ll be keeping it up for another 1,000.
How weird you giving away skincare products as I post about my family freckles today.
