our little princess, the diva in all her glory, is turning one next month!!! where has the past year gone?! to say it has flown by is a total understatement.  amelia is so big and fun now.... she really understands and grasps concepts of how things works, what words mean, how to do what she wants.  she is so independant and so strong-willed.  honestly, i never expected any less from her *wink*

in honor of our lovely daughter celebrating her first birthday, i've gathered some of my favorite companies and etsy artists to bring you what could quite possibly be the biggest single-blog event to date!! every day for the entire month of February, you can click on over to our blog and check out a new review and giveaway!! think cloth diapers, baby clothing, toys, accessories, gear, and more..... there is so much fun to be had!!

starting today, you can gain some extra entries - we all know how great those extra entries are in the end!  these entries are simple, and it's an easy entry to tell me what you've done, too!!  don't worry about adding in extra entries when the giveaways actually post - i'll do all the work for you before the winner is randomly chosen :)  so here's a few ways you can gain some extra entries!!

• add the Birthday Bash button to the sidebar on the main page of your blog {2 entries}
• blog about this event, linking back to Marine Parents {1 entry}
• get your friends to follow the Marine Parents blog via GFC! each NEW person that comments on this blog post that you sent them gets you {2 entries}
• suggest our Facebook page and Twitter to your friends - if they say you sent them you get {1 entry/each}

once you've done any {or all!} of your entries.... fill out this simple form. 

{{EASY ENTRY FORM}}

if you want to do a few entries now and save some for later, that's cool, too! come back and fill out the form again, but only add the new entries.  and always, if you have questions - email me!!  make sure that your friends tell me on this blog post, facebook or twitter that YOU sent them - otherwise your entries don't count!!!!
