Friday Miscellany & a Giveaway for You!



This weekend we're celebrating my nephew's first Birthday.  These are the cute-cute invitations Sister sent out, and no, we're not a bit biased.  He is very adorable. ;)
  So excited to get together with family and celebrate {and see what Sister comes up with for party decor!} but not excited for Baby Ben to grow up.  He will always be our Baby Ben - hope he's okay with that.




Baby Ben is the cutest ever.



Picture of my little girl swinging and wearing the orange clogs
I got for $4 for her before she was born.



I'm a planner like that. ;)



And a giveaway!  This little blog reached 200 lovely followers this week, and it's time for a little celebration.  I'm giving away one of my very favorite things: a bottle of this supremely lovely Lollia lotion.  I've loved it for years now - smells and goes on like a dream.
 




Not to mention the packaging! which I admit is my very favorite part.


To enter it would be lovely for you to 
make sure you're a follower of Everyday Lovely 
but this will not be enforced with any sort of wooden spoon.  

Simply leave a comment in the comment section 
sharing one lovely thing you're going to enjoy today.  

Winner will be announced next Friday!

  13. Dearest Colorado friend of my daughters,
    My heart always has such fond memories of the sweet times that our family shared with you and your sister. I have yet seen your dear little ones, but I feel that I know them by reading your posts. I love seeing your beautiful home and the lovely changes that you are making. I wonder how does she do it? Your plate must be full, but then you are young! I admire you and your talents. May the Lord continue to bless and keep you and your dear family in His care. Love, Mrs. Lavin

    My lovely today has been attending church. It was so refreshing -- the singing, the fellowship, the message.
