Wishing you a very happy birthday Kate! I hope this post finds you well.

Although a little late, I just posted about your giveaway. I'm also already a follower. And I put your button on my blog about a week or so ago.

How generous of you to have such a great giveaway when it's YOUR special day. Sorry I'm also belated on the anniversary wishes. Sounds like you two are great together. My husband and I have only been married for almost 4 years but have known each other for over 30. It makes for a special bond.

Have a lovely rest of your weekend.

Blessings,
Missy
