February is upon us yet again, and in our house that means "Birth Month!!"
This year we are changing things up a bit. In the past 2 versions of Birth Month, Mommy figured out all the pocket gifts - and other than Mommy and Daddy's birthday's and Valentine's Day, the bulk of the pocket presents went to the Munchkin.
This year Hubby did some calculating and divided up the days so that each of us has 8 days (excluding the birthdays and V-Day) when it will be our turn to receive a pocket present. The other two are then responsible for filling the pocket. The Munchkin and I have already collaborated and come up with a list of 8 things to fill up Hubby's pockets... and I already had more than 8 things on deck for the Munchkin (some with the help of Jill -thanks!) - so a few will get re-tasked as birthday gifts.
So where does the giveaway come in? Well, I thought it would be fun to share the Birth Month excitement with everyone else - so here's how to enter to win your own "pocket present" (photos of the actual prize to be posted later).
1. Post a comment here for one entry.
2. Follow the blog for another entry (all current followers will automatically receive this extra entry)
3. Post about it on your own blog and send me a copy of the link (either in another comment or via email) for a third entry.
Entries will be collected until midnight, EST on February 11th, and the winner will be drawn on Abraham Lincoln's birthday (February 12th for those who don't remember their history lessons).
Happy Birth Month -and good luck to all!

Here's me, commenting!!! Happy birthday month. I know Feb is a crazy month for our family as well... princess Julianne will be 11! Where does the time go?
I love seeing that "Birth Month" calendar each year. It brightens up the winter blues. Looking forward to seeing what pocket presents you all came up with this year.
