Super cute, super fabulous measuring spoons!

They are all silver and just so ornate and fancy. I love them so much that I came this close to keeping them for myself!

But because I'm selfless, I didn't. :)

HOW TO WIN!

I would love to hear some input from my readers. So, I want you to leave a comment telling me your favorite things that you like for me to blog about here on The Glamorous Life of a Housewife.

Is it Motherhood?
Is it home decor/entertaining?
Is it marriage?
Is it fashion and shopping?
Is it food?
Is it the day-to-day happenings of my little life?

All of these things are topics I blog about often, but I would love to know what YOU enjoy reading about the most.

Leave a comment with your response and you can leave another comment if you post about this giveaway on YOUR blog and another comment if you post about it on Twitter/Facebook.


Contest ends Monday. Good luck, Lovies! :)

Those measuring spoons are the cutest!

I think it is the combination of topics I like! Probably to narrow it down I would say marriage/relationships and seeing the journey since you became a Mom. Plus, your little Weebie is pretty much the cutest little guy ever!!

Elle said...

My favorite thing for you to blog about is EVERYTHING! I love recipes and entertaining is the best.

AussieMumma said...

Those spoons are SO cute! Love them.
Ok, fave topics that you blog about: Motherhood and relationships, oh and I like the blogs where you post a bunch of photos to a specific theme. I also appreciate that your blogs are very honest, and of course entertaining :)

Emily said...

Oh my gosh I am in LOVE! Thos are too cute and I need some new ones anyways. Perfect!
I would LOVE to hear more about home decor/entertaining for sure!! I know you must be one heck of a host.

Hannah J said...

You are my favorite blogger, but my favorite blog you ever wrote was the one about how you being a mommy has taught you so much about how God loves us. I'm pregnant with my first and honestly, the change in my relationship with God is one of the things I'm most excited about.

I also love to see how you host guests and how you love being generous and giving. That is something that is so important to me and I'm always looking for new ideas on that.

Kristin said...

I love when you blog about holiday decor. Does that count? :)

I LOVE the spoons!!!!

Sarah said...

I think you generally have a great balance of topics for your posts, and I like them all. Some of my favorite posts are on marriage and motherhood. You've written some that seemed to hit home with and inspire me at just the right times :)

Anonymous said...

Cute spoons! Love anthropologie! I found your blog recently and am enjoying all of it. Probably esp. enjoy marriage/relationship, motherhood, and fashion topics. Thanks.

Annie said...

Woohoo! Maybe I'll win yours and you'll win mine ;-)

Okay, I love it when you blog about decor, food, fashion and marriage. And the day-to-day happenings. Heck, I like it all! Just keep doing what you're doing!

Yay for Anthro giveaways!

Annie said...

I'm posting this on my blog now!

Annie said...

And facebook ;-)

Anymore hoops I can jump through?

Sarah said...

Honestly - anything! You have such a wonderful writing style. I love reading about Levi though - and food and home decor of course!

Mommyto3andahusky said...

I enjoy reading about home decor and recipes. I love reading about levi's adventures because he and my daughter are the same ages. I have been reading since our babies were born 3 days apart! :)

Jessa said...

hello! i adore your blog - your family is just so pure in love! i'm a single twenty-five yeay old, so i love reading your "love story" - the story of how you and Husby became husband and wife! do you have any advice for single ladies? i also love your posts about your daily successes - like cleaning tips or hostess advice! and your decorating style is just fabulous!

one of nettie's girls said...

I enjoy reading about it all but I really enjoy stories about your everyday happenings. Especially when they are accompanied by a little photo blogging.

AmyV123 said...

I like everything you blog about; you are one of my most favorite blogs and a daily must-read! :) However, I love it when you blog about home decor and entertaining ideas.... sparks my own creativity and makes me want to plan a party or have house guests!

Jennifer said...

Wonderful giveaway!
I would love to see you blog more about home decor & entertaining. You and you mom both have beautiful style and I just love the way you both put together little baskets for your houseguests! So cute!

Browningtown said...

Ah I am new to your AMAZING love and life! This blog has been such an inspiration to me, new to wifehood and on the journey to the rest of our lives! I love the marriage and mummy content - so good to see how another christian couple work it out! And I love the insight to new motherhood... not that we are there yet, but definately in the near future!

Thanks so much for your positive outlook and love for life!
Susan

Amy said...

I love reading your motherhood blogs, but also I really love the home decorating. I have no imagination when it comes to decorating my house and sometimes things you post, spark me into being more creative.

Court3ney said...

Parenting! (And day to day happenings). I am expecting as well and love reading about what it will be like, and helpful tips!

Katy said...

I agree with people, you have a great balance! But...I must say I think you have wonderful home decor and entertaining tips.

Erin said...

I enjoy reading about the day to day stuff, if gives me an escape from my days in the office.

Lauren said...

Hey Whitney! I love hearing another recount of your story, even though I've heard it during Precept days. And as always, pictures of Levi are my favorite! Keep it coming!

Caitlin @ Pacifier In My Pocket said...

I love your posts about Motherhood and the day to day stuff. Levi is two or three days older than my little boy and I love to see babies his age.

Anonymous said...

Motherhood and FOOD:)

Dana said...

The day to day happenings, which basically encompass all the topics!

Anonymous said...

I'm a fan of your day to day happenings but I also enjoyed reading your love story.

kkbccguy said...

Love the measuring spoons!!!

I love reading about a combination of motherhood (we have kids close in age and I love hearing what you are up too with your baby boy) and then entertaining/decorating....I love the pics of your mom's decorations and how that has made an impact on your home and the pics of the baby shower and holidays!!

Ashley said...

I like the motherhood topics because our kids are so close in age. Levi is a little older than my daughter and I like to see what milestones she will hit next. So far, it has been pretty accurate.

El said...

I love reading your posts about motherhood and your relationships with your family. Your Weebie is too cute!

A Compassionate Calling said...

Whitney,
I love all of the topics you post about but you really have an amazing flair for decorating and I love seeing the decorations in your home. I'm sort of a DIY nerd. Food is always a favorite for me too.
-Christy

jfoodyum said...

My "little ones" are now 15 and 12 so I really enjoy reading stories about your day to day happenings with life and motherhood. It reminds me of when my kids were "little."

Betsy said...

I love your blog and especially love when you talk about marriage.

I love reading your posts on being a mother the most!

Ashley said...

I love all the day to day things, as well as learning how you manage with being a stay at home mom and having Husby in school.

Lori said...

I would have to say home decor, although motherhood would be a close second! :) Have a wonderful weekend!

Maria said...

love the spoons!
i'd love to hear more about motherhood and how you juggle it all!

Dana said...

I LOVE reading your blog! I think my favorite things to read about are the everyday things that happen in your life. You make the most ordinary things (housework, going out to eat, watching TV) sound like big adventures.

Love the spoons!

Nicole said...

I really love your stories about your marriage and family-Weebie is so darn cute. I just got married in July, and most of my friends are NOT married, so I love reading your takes on the married life since I don't have a lot of married gals to talk to. Thanks for keeping me entertained, and the spoons are super cute

september said...

Adorable spoons...I heart Anthropologie!

I enjoy the posts about food and motherhood the best. My baby days are behind me but your Levi is just too cute!

Kristen said...

Those spoons are sooo cute! I think my favorite topic that you blog about is marriage. I will admit that we're going through a rough time in our marriage and I'm always encouraged when you talk about your marriage, and how you strive your best to make God the center of it...sometimes we lose sight of that and it's always refreshing to me to read that.

MamaStacey said...

I love them all. How could I not like hearing the things my cousin has to say?! Of course, I love hearing about Levi!! However, I find all of your thoughts and happenings entertaining! Love ya!

SB said...

I like it all....and yes, I realize that might be a cop out answer. Yes I realize the question was what is your FAVORITE thing about the blog not what you like. Yes I am that indecisive that I am answering that i like it all. :-)

If my arm is twisted and I have to pick a favorite, than I'm going to pick an option not listed. I love reading it all because I love seeing what God is doing in your life. I love reading how HE is blessing and growing your family. I love seeing the influence you have for HIS KINGDOM.

Happy Friday!

greencnj said...

I love hearing about everything, but I think I'd agree with some of the others that the marriage/relationship topics are my favorite.

Lori said...

I love those measuring spoons!!

I love when you blog about marriage! We have been married close to the same time as you, and my hubby is gone a lot in the winter months. So it is so nice to read about marriage from other young women!

Jennifer said...

I love the spoons. I've been looking for some good ones lately and those would be perfect for my kitchen.

The things I like to read most on your blog is probably the home decor and the cooking.

Michelle Sullivan said...

I love it when you write about motherhood since our little ones are close to the same age and when you write about food. I'm always looking for a new recipe!!

I love hearing about all the cool things little Levi is doing, but especially about the awesome relationship you have with your husband. Gives me hope true love is really out there! And I always check for new installments of the Love Story. :)

Love the measuring the spoons. How cute!

I read your blog for all of it. I just think your family is the cutest and enjoy reading.

Abigail said...

A combination of things, but for the most part Motherhood. You're inspiring!

Mrs.Grits said...

I enjoy everything, but especially the day to day stuff and marriage.
Thanks for sharing!

H HoopThiel said...

Oh my goodness! I love those little spoons!

I stumbled upon your blog last year, and I LOVE IT!

My favorite are your entries about marriage and motherhood and how your faith impacts those two roles in your life. Actually, I am inspired and encouraged to read how your faith impacts all of the aspects of your life. It has really helped me step back and LOOK for how the Spirit is working in my life and for the areas I need to implement Christ's teachings more fully.

Em said...

I started reading your blog when I was pregnant with my third and you were also pregnant. Don't remember how I came across your site - when your pregnant, you tend to seek out other pregos haha. I love everything about your blog. I especially like your stories about your experiences with your family. I love the stories about your parents. I guess its the "day-to-day" stuff :) You are so cute and it's so fun to have a little peephole into your life ;)

Amber said...

I love your post about your family. Marriage, motherhood, and life in general, I just love hearing about that stuff. Oh, and of course seeing all the pics of your ADORABLE boy! :-)

Amber said...

I posted on Facebook too! :-)

Kaileigh said...

OMG.. I want these so bad!!

I love everything you write about, and especially how you write it! I'm not a mommy yet, but I love hearing about your experiences, since it's a path I hope to head down soon.

Jessica said...

I'm pretty sure it's because you have such a gift for making everyday life appear as the blessing it is. I love the values that you are imparting in "Weebie". Also, he's the most precious child I've ever seen!

Unknown said...

I like the combination of everything...but my favs are home and entertaining posts.

Tenay said...

I like reading about your day to day happenings.

Hammond Bride said...

A friend of mine sent me the link to your page and I'm oh so glad she did! What a delightful site - and what delightful measuring sppons! Isn't it conveient that I collect them? :) I don't know what I'd like to see more of since I'm just adding you to my blogroll today, but I know I like what I have seen thus far!

Well, I love everything you write about, but if I had to pick something specific it would be the recipes, fashion, and day-to-day happenings! :o)

Those are soooo cute! Gotta love Anthro. I love hearing about marriage and food, which just so happen to be my two favorite things in life right now!

life is good! said...

I really enjoy reading about your day-to-day happenings of your little life with the little one and as being a wife. it has been so much fun watching little Levi grow and explore. I have a little girl, she was born July 10th 2009, and it is just so much fun to watch him and compare it to my little one. Those spoons are too cute! They would go right along with my decore.
Make it a Great Day!

Unknown said...

I am new to your blog, and I have to say that I love reading about your day to day life. I am also a new momma and like reading about other moms out there. It gives me a sense of belonging. I am not the only one out there who has been through crazy days that made me want to laugh, cry, pull my hair out and then actually WANT to do it all over again the next day. All it takes is one smile or laugh! You have an adorable family, and as I am sure I will read about other topics I most enjoy reading about you little Weebie in the dryer ha-ha (the first post I read)

-Krista AKA Parker's Momma

I like when you talk about marriage, but I also LOVE when you do posts on your favorite products (make-up/shower) because you have some of the best stuff!! I would even like to know products that you find helpful in the kitchen or bathroom!

I love reading about everything but would love to see MORE about decorating and entertaining. I love your style and reading about your Mom's parties! That vintage table she set awhile back was incredible!

Pressed Petals said...

I have been following you before you were pregnant. I have enjoyed it all. The way you write is just like as if we were sitting down for tea. I do love when you talk about the day-to-day things.

Katie said...

I like hearing about motherhood!

Hallie said...

I like reading about fashion and home decor the most, but really its all enjoyable to read about. And I really like all the pictures, especially baby pictures, showing what goes on. You're a great blogger!

Hallie said...

I also posted this on facebook!

Alison said...

I miss your cooking blog. I am also blogging about the Pioneer woman and enjoy looking at what you have made.

The Mommy said...

I love hearing about your daily life and your relationship with Husby, but Levi's my favorite! I have a daughter his age (Ellie) and a four year old (Maggie) so I can relate to your motherhood posts.

Our Journey Towards Forever said...

Love the measuring spoons. I love Weebie Wednesdays!

William, Megan and Avery said...

Levi is my favorite. seriously. how cute is he?!

I think I read your blog because: a) I know you, b) your Weebie is just a bit younger than my Avery, and it's nice to know i'm not the only lunatic mommy out there, and c) i'm always looking for practical ways to be a mommy, wifey, cook, and Christian all in one! Great perspectives, Whit!

Kari Lynn said...

I love your recipes - I've tried most of them! Also I love to hear about fashion and shopping, always good to hear about great finds and perhaps where to go to find some of my own! (:

Kari Lynn said...

I tweeted about your give away as well (:

Kelly said...

How about writing about your greatest weakness or failure and how or what you learned from it. I don't know. (I'm all about keeping it real, you know.) Or you could write about your most favorite books and why you like them - classics, fiction, non-fiction, children's, etc. I'm also ready for the next chapter of your love story. But really, anything and everything you write about is always well done. Have fun and write about what you enjoy. That's why your writing is so enjoyable to read - we can tell you are having fun writing it. :)

vaneblu said...

I love the day to day life because it kind of includes a little bit of everything :)

Painting 4 Him said...

I happened upon your blog through another friends blog. I love the way you share how God is moving through your everyday--cleaning, shopping, raising Weebie and loving Husby. I enjoy very much how you express your love for the Lord, and how you want His will in every moment. You have encouraged me to look at laundry (which I hate too) in a different light. Thank you, Victoria

Amber said...

I'm a fan of the day to day stuff. And Ruthie Jane loves the Weebs videos!
Now, I NEED those measuring spoons!

Amber said...

Keshet said...

My fave parts are your discussions on marriage

Venassa said...

Those are very nice.
My favorite part is probably just the day-to-day happenings. You just have a way of writing where I've never been bored by any of the posts, no matter what you write about. I also love seeing the pictures/videos of your little one. He's adorable.

Katrina said...

I love the everyday life posts, and the pictures of weebie! =)

Meagain said...

I just started reading your blog because of a post on Facebook by one of my friends. But as I peruse some of your older posts I really love the Weebie Wednesdays. Adorable! My niece had a beautiful boy just three weeks ago and I hope he grows up to be as happy as your boy.

Mrs. Lukie said...

Love Anthropologie. LOVE those measuring spoons. Love reading about your day-to-day happs.

Pleasant Living said...

Brandi said...

I love reading your posts about Levi. I can relate to them having a little one of my own! :) I also love your recipe posts. Keep 'em coming!

Rachel said...

I've only read about 8 posts so far. I came across your blog through Marriage Confessions just the other day.

Sarah said...

I love hearing about your marriage and I love seeing pictures of your son. So family life I suppose is my answer.

beachmom5 said...

I love everything about your blog.

Allison said...

I love reading about your authentic relationship with Jesus and how He guides your day-to-day life.

Brifire said...

I just adore reading about your daily challenges of motherhood and little Weebie. But, i also like to see how things are going in your day to day life.

Katie said...

I like food and marriage posts!

Laura said...

My favs are the food and fashion posts!! :) Such cute spoons - they are somewhat similar to the spoons Paula Deen often uses, which I am dying for!! :)

Mary @ Neat and Tidy said...

Your blog is fun; you share your faith in a fun way as you blend your walk with Christ with your everyday events. Thanks!

Lisa said...

What DON'T I love about your blog? Yours is one of my favorites that I often save for last to read :) I don't have children yet so I love reading anything about being a wife and mom, and how you manage it all!

Jennifer said...

Love everything about your blog.
I have an 11 month old daughter (and a 6 yo son) and it's been fun watching our babies grow up together - sort of. Really enjoy that your blog is not just about "one" thing, but gotta love a good baby post.

House of Burke said...

Those spoons are AMAZING! I honestly love everything you blog about. You are a really talented writer and every topic you choose is interesting. I do however absolutely ADORE the motherhood and home decor/entertaining posts! I love to see how you decorate your house and how your mother decorates hers and of course I love every post about Weebie - he is so precious! I also like the posts where you talk about the products that you generally use. Oh boy .. i just love all your posts! bhaha I could go on and on.

Kristen said...

I love your posts about your day to day life, motherhood, and marriage! You are a fabulous writer.

Random - but I just started recently reading your blog (I live in the northern states) and we have a lot in common - not to be weird or anything. Only I do not have a little Weebie! Love it and have loved your blog!

Niki @ Southern Baby Boutique said...

Ummm.... Everything! But I really enjoy reading about homemaking and entertaining!

Nikirichmond@live.com

ilovemypuppy said...

Marriage and relationships.
Also the motherhood and day to day happenings of your life.

You just have such a charasmatic and optamistic view of every day things, and I think all readers can agree that reading your blog will make even the most pessimistic person happy.

Beth said...

I like your posts about motherhood, marriage, and God the most (though I do enjoy reading everything). As a married woman who wants to be a mom someday soon, I enjoy seeing what I have to look forward to!

TwisterB said...

I live a million miles away and postage would be huge so I don't want the spoons but I figured you want the feedback for your own reasons

SO

I really like reading about the day to day happenings of your life. You and I live very different lives so it is interesting to me. Moreover I like your attitude when you talk about things that you do...I know you're not 100% positive all the time but you have a general sort of optimism that I find endearing.

That positivity shines through the most when you talk about family so I think that would be a concurrent favorite!

Least interesting to me personally would be food (because I'm vegan) and shopping/products (because I don't live in the states) BUT that does not mean I dislike those posts at all. All of your little triumphs are great!

Britt said...

I really like everything you blog about, but I especially love whenever you share your entertaining ideas! I have really enjoyed all of the posts where you have talked about how to make guests in your home feel special, or have showed us parties your mom has thrown, etc. You have great ideas!!!

Unknown said...

i like this question!
my two favorite things are pictures of weebie and love stories about your marriage. it cheers me up to read about your happy dates!

Caroline said...

What a great giveaway! Xx

I just love your blog. I am no where near getting married (I am still in high school!) I have no children (Thankfully!) but I really enjoy reading about motherhood. It is something that I am really looking forward to. I find that most of the blogs I read are married people with children. I love seeing the recipes you post, what you do every day, home decor, and fashion. Sorry. I didn't exactly pick one. I just love your blog, and you really have a gift for writing! keep it up!
Xx

jen said...

I like the combination of all the topics. However, the marriage, motherhood, and day-t-day things are my absolute favorite!

MANY blessings back to you,
