Annual Birthday Giveaway

Personal

July 14, 2015

Today is my birthday! Or at least, I’m pretty sure it is. One thing most people may not know about me is that I actually do not know the exact day that I was born. I was given up for adoption at six weeks or so old and my birthdate is really just an estimate. Either way, I have always enjoyed having July 14th as my birthday…I share it with France, who celebrates Bastille Day today! I think that means I should definitely celebrate my birthday there one of these years. Right??
Birthday giveaway

I love giving gifts almost more than I love receiving them, so for the lastΒ several years I’ve done a yearly birthday giveaway. In the past they’ve been complications of a bunch of my favorite things, but honestly, as I get older I see the value more and more in KEEPING IT SIMPLE. So this year, I wanted to give one of my favorite things to send to people that is also perfectly birthday appropriate…Georgetown Cupcakes! Did you know you can have them shipped anywhere in the US?? I think everyone loves to get things in the mail, but seriously, getting cupcakes takes the cake. Ha….pun intended.

If you would love to receive these cupcakes at YOUR door you can enter the contest by leaving a comment here on this post with your favorite cupcake flavor. You must be living in the US to win and you MUST make sure you enter a valid email address with your comment because that’s what I’ll be using to contact you if you’re the randomly chosen winner. PS, if you can’t eat gluten for some reason, have no fear! GC offers gluten free options too.

Thanks for reading! Enjoy your Tuesday!

    Happy Birthday, Katie!!! I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t sure of their exact birthday — I actually think that’s kind of cool! You can just celebrate all month instead πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

    Happy birthday, Katie! I hope you feel so loved and known today! And I do think you should probably celebrate in France one day.

    You’re one of the only people I know who gives things to other people for their own birthday…you’re literally too cute. My favorite cupcake (if I have to choose, because I love them all, especially when they’re pretty) is vanilla. Because I’m boring. Happy birthday Katie!!
