Mama's Herbal Soaps Giveaway

I love giveaways. And I love you guys. So, without further ado, I present to you:

Sara's Magical Month of Giveways! Yes, you read that right. A MONTH! Four bliss-filled weeks of goodness. Aren't you excited? You should be. Because I have four of the coolest, most talented mamas participating and I can't wait for you to meet them all. I am so blessed to meet such a unique mix of souls while we're on the road, and this is my way of "introducing" a few of them to you.

To kick things off, we have the fabulous Shauna of Mama's Herbal Soaps. I had so much fun with Shauna in Portland a few weeks ago...I only wish we could have spent MUCH more time together. She is truly an artist when it comes to soapmaking and believe me when I tell you this: HER SOAP IS AMAZING. Just reading through the flavor list gets me giddy. You may have seen her soaps on the ever popular Soul Flower site...she has fans everywhere!

Here are the giveaway goods - your choice of flavors (a $40+ value!):

The "Lovely Soap Gift Set" Includes FOUR 3.5 oz bars Hemp Washcloth Mama's Lip Balm

And for those of you who want to order some goodies for yourself right now...Shauna will give you 15% off your total order if you enter the coupon code: "WalkSlowlyLiveWildly". Be sure to check out the entire site...it's so much more than soap. I love the baby line of products and the cool shaving mugs.

To enter your name in this giveaway:

• Leave a comment and tell me which flavor of soap sounds the yummiest! Or if you have tried Shauna's soaps, tell us your fave :)
• For an extra entry, put a link back to this giveaway on Facebook or Twitter (and then do a second comment here that says "FB/Twitter")

I will draw the winner at random on Friday, November 27 (deadline is 12 PST). I may not be able to post the winner until next week, however, because we will be deep in the forests of northern California for Thanksgiving and there is no internet/cell service!

One last thing...don't forget to become a "fan" of Mama's Herbal Soaps on Facebook!

Tiny House Blog

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with small living spaces. So...you can imagine my delight when I came across The Tiny House blog. First off, how was I not reading this already? Hmmmmmm. It's SO GREAT. It doesn't focus on any one type of tiny house...it just gives a great mix of tiny house inspiration. *love*

We're hanging out in Eugene with a family who shares our passion for alternative housing and they got me all excited again about cob, strawbale, yurts, you name it. They also gave me some new book ideas...and I ordered them for my birthday! Here they are:

Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter (I've read this, but have never owned it...until now!) Radical Simplicity

I love dreaming about pulling our RV up to a cozy little cob house...as sort of an "extension" to the RV. A home base for when we're feeling "nesty". That would be ideal for us...to have a tiny handmade house that we could park our rolling house next to :)  Someday...
