Celebrate!

Today is Mt. Hope Chronicles’ second anniversary! When I began this adventure two years ago, I little dreamed that I would still be here 24 months and 703! posts later. We had just moved into our forever home and big-man Leif was only 6 months old:

I originally wondered whether I would run out of things to say, to share, to dream. It turns out that my list gets longer with each passing day. I have so many things in store for this blog in just the next few months! I have questions about homeschooling, photography, and design to finish answering (I will, I promise). More vacation pictures to share, book reviews, deep thoughts on life and lovely, a new series coming up, as well as an exciting new project I am collaborating on with my sister… Trust me, you won’t want to miss it!

I wondered whether anyone would read what I had to say, or enjoy seeing life through my lens. And, look, you’re still here! Some of you have been around for most of the two years, some of you are new to Mt. Hope, but I am thankful for each and every one of you.

To show you how much I appreciate you,

I am giving away a $30 Amazon gift card.

To enter this contest, please leave a comment on this post! If you’re feeling up to it, introduce yourself (especially if you haven’t commented before), let me know how long you’ve been reading, what posts you’ve enjoyed or found helpful in the past, or what you would like to read in the future. Please don’t be shy! Commenting is easy. Grin.This contest will be open until midnight on Saturday, February 21st. I will announce the winner on Monday, February 23rd.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to remind you that I’ve set up a virtual bookshop, Mt. Hope Literary Buffet, through Amazon to share my favorite titles with you. Be sure to check out the various categories in the box on the right hand side. Many of the categories have sub-categories, as well.

You can always access this store by clicking on the icon on my side bar. Yes, I do receive a small percentage of each purchase, even if you simply access Amazon through my site and purchase books other than ones I’ve recommended. For some of you, this may be a simple way to support Mt. Hope Chronicles.

See you in the comments!
