the pioneer woman {and a giveaway!}

Last night Jill, Jessica and I drove an hour up to Bartlesville to meet The Pioneer Woman...



We sampled some of her recipes she brought (yum!), snagged a pic of Marlboro Man, went to eat at Chili's while we were waiting for our turn, came back and still sat and talked and laughed for hours (we can get pretty silly!) while waiting our turn and were the very last ones in line to meet her... then we got pulled over by a police man on the way home- what an adventure!

Her cookbook is AMAZING and she is a DELIGHT!

I bought an EXTRA cookbook and asked her to sign it and we are giving it away, along with a sweet "kiss the cook" necklace to match!





How cute is that little fork and spoon?

To enter to win BOTH the book and the necklace just leave us a comment!

happy wednesday :)

Oh, my word...what a fun adventure!

Road trip with friends, snacking at Chili's, a Marlboro Man sighting, meeting the Pioneer Woman AND sampling her goods, a run-in with the law AND offering one of us the chance to win an autographed copy of The Pioneer Woman's cookbook?? And a sweet necklace, too??

This is too much! :-)
