What’s a party without presents, right?  Well, I have got an incredible gift for one lucky Not-So-Blog reader to unwrap in honor of my 1 year blogiversary!

Lone Star Baby & Kids, an online shop offering furniture and accessories for infants to teenagers,  also has three retail stores in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.  After looking through their site, I fell in love with several of the kids beds, this hot pink children’s recliner (oh gosh, Lily would LOVE this! We MUST tell Santa!) and these adorable nap mats!  Did you know that Lone Star Baby & Kid also sells eco-friendly products?  Having a baby?  Create a gift registry!  I was so impressed with the selection of all things baby!

Right now, you can save up to 40% on baby furniture, gear, bedding and mattresses during the Summer Fireworks sale!  You can also check out the latest products on the new blog presented by Lone Star Baby & Kids, Mommy Talk!

Lone Star Baby & Kids has generously wrapped up a Chicco Liteway Stroller for one lucky Not-So-Blog reader!  From the website:

“The lightweight and fully-featured Trevi Stroller from Chicco features a compact 3-D fold for easy travel and storage, 5-point safety harness, extra large wheels for various terrains, parent cup holder and child tray with double cup holders, storage basket and an adjustable, removable canopy with peek-a-boo window and sun visor for added protection. The multi-position, fully-reclining seat and adjustable leg support provides comfort for your baby. All-wheel suspension with front locking swivels provide an extra-smooth ride. This stroller can also be used as a travel system with the Chicco KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats (sold separately).”

The Chicco Liteway stroller can be purchased directly from Lone Star Baby and Kids for $124.99.

It’s finally here!  My one year Blogiversary!  Considering I started this blog just so I could enter online sweepstakes (thanks, Trisha!), I never thought I would enjoy blogging and would actually reach the day where I could say that The Not-So-Blog was an Actual Blog!

From my first post, to becoming a partner at MomDot, to winning a full ride scholarship to BlogHer, to giving away great prizes of my own, I have loved every minute of it!  I truly appreciate the support of all of my readers which have grown to become both my bloggy friends and mentors.

I wanted to show my appreciation for you all by lining up some fabulous giveaways.  Make sure you stop by each day to unwrap a new “gift” from The Not-So-Blog!  Grab my giveaway button and join the party!

Can you believe my blog is almost one whole year old?!?
