My first giveaway and it's awesome sauce!

So I understand that giveaways are the standard in mommy blogging nowadays but my real purpose behind my giveaways is to support friends and Michigan businesses. Unless you have been under a rock everyone knows that Michigan's economy is in the crapper. It may not be much but if I can not just be a bystander watching it all go down the drain I can be an advocate for supporting local businesses.

My first giveaway is from Pampered Chef thanks to my wonderful friend Heather. Heather is currently 34 weeks pregnant with her second baby and first girl, and has been my best friend since high school. Heather was born and raised in Michigan and loves this state with a passion. She just entered the blogging world and is really enjoying it so far! 

  

Heather and I at my wedding! Shes such an amazing dedicated friend!

I love to cook and as a result I absolutely adore everything Pampered Chef. They have such great products and they are great quality. So it makes perfect sense that I start with this as my first Michigan giveaway.

                                                             
You are going to fall all over yourself for this essential giveaway piece A Trifle Bowl
