Happy Birthday to me!
Posted by: Lindsay on: February 24, 2009
I know I had some of you in suspense last night guessing what the big announcement was going to be! No, I’m not going vegetarian or vegan, but realized that would be a huge challenge, so maybe I will give it a go for a week soon, we shall see… however, the big news is…
For the Love Of Oats is turning 1 Year Old!
Yup, that’s right. 503,000 hits and a year later, my blog is having a birthday on March 2nd! I can’t believe it’s been a full year, but now I can’t imagine my life without the blog either 
To celebrate, I’m having a GIVEAWAY.
Would you believe I’ve never done a real giveaway on the blog? However, instead of just any giveaway, I decided to make it interactive, fun, and challenging!
Every day through Sunday (3/1), I will be posting two LoveOfOats trivia questions. I will be meshing them together throughout my normal posts (I may or may not post the two questions in the same post each day) so it’s your job to find them & answer them. They will be noted in bold & italics so you won’t have to decipher between what’s a real question and what isn’t!
You must find the questions, answer them correctly, and submit all responses to me, via email at loveofoats@gmail.com by Sunday 3/1 @ 6pm. If there is a tie, I will use a random number generator to pick the winner.
The winner will be announced on Monday, March 2nd and will receive a large goodie bag filled with all of my favorite products:
- PB2
- Clif Bars
- Clif Z Bars
- Oats
- Nuts
- Box of Tea
- Granola
- Goldfish
- Love Yourself post compilation
-
…and MORE!
Don’t like trivia? Have no fear, there’s a giveaway #2!
If you want to participate in the birthday festivities but don’t want to answer trivia questions, I will also be giving away a jar of PB2 for those of you who submit a comment in THIS POST. Again, if you link back to this post on your blog, you will get an additional entry. I will select the winner of the PB2 via a random number generator and announce it next Monday (3/2) as well.
Hope you guys enjoy the challenges and hope that I didn’t let you down with the “surprise”, but I was excited about it Thank you for all of your support over the last year, I really am a very proud owner of this blog!
