HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BLOGGERS!!!

HEY GUYS! This has been fun! I am going to stretch the contest thru the weekend since I will be shopping for YOU this weekend. I have my ideas of what the big GIVEAWAY will be, and trust me you'll love it! The package won't be sent until early next week, so KEEP on ENTERING!!! The big announcement will be MONDAY!!! Happy HALLOWEEN!!!

Happy 3 years to all my blogging friends. When I started this blog 3 years ago I had no idea I'd still be doing it 3 yrs later....and I am so glad that I am. My goal is to have an entry a week just to recap what we are up to. Some weeks I do better than others, but that is my blogging goal! This morning I took some time to 'flashback' down memory lane. I feel like it was yesterday that I was that new mom of the sweetest 3 and 1/2 month old baby boy. Oh, how I had NO CLUE what I was doing. We were living in that tiny apartment in Plano having the time of our lives. I have said it before, but I am NOT a journal-er (is that a word). I want to be, but never end up doing it. Blogging has been such a great outlet for me to journal our little life on here. Life passes by so fast that I think it is good to just stop and write those little memories down that you want to hold on to!

SOOO this is a FIRST for me. I want to have a GIVEAWAY! Trust me, it will be GOOD, no it will be GREAT! You know how Oprah has "her favorite things"?? Well, this is sort of along that line, but it'll be one of ALLISON'S FAVORITE THINGS! I want you to leave me a comment telling me what keeps bringing you to visit "The Mullins Four" blog! ON FRIDAY I will make the BIG announcement to who my winner is! Soo...I'll have a drawing, make the announcement, have you e-mail me your home address, and SHIP your gift to YOU from ME!!!! This will be fun way for me to say 'Thank you' for reading my blog!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BLOG FRIENDS....Here's to many more memories shared together!!!

  2. How intriguing...can't wait to see what you have to GIVEAWAY! I will be happy to do this for "free"!

    Even though I talk to you almost every day and "hear" what you, Matt, Hudson and Harper are doing, I enjoy "reading" your thoughts, too. You have always been an excellent story teller from the moment you "told your engagement story to your sister Koji's", I fell in love with your "gift of gab". Your exuberance for life just overflows. I'm glad that you are documenting your life together as a family now.

    Of course, I love seeing the precious pictures that you post of Hudson and Harper...it makes the times that we can't see them, go by a little faster.

    I am so proud of the wife, mother, and friend that you are. Your love for Christ is evident in everything you do. I thank God that you are a part of our family, making Matt happy and giving our grandchildren a very special life.

    I love you!

  8. I am new to your blog, so your friends would probably be mad if I won!! We obviously have some of the same friends (Jennifer, and you probably know Denee' who I was best friends with at SCS) and our kids were in ARK School together briefly, but I really like the honest way you write. Your family is precious, and I like you because you read my cooking blog!! Congrats on 3 years!!

    I read because those are my sweet kiddos. I can't tell you how excited I become opening up your blog to see if you have updated since the day before. I have to admit that I have been impatient many times wanting to read and see more photos, I think you ought to think about an every other day update, or at least posting new pics. Really, I have been so impressed by your blog, your writing expertise and your heartfelt insights about being a wife and a mother. I have always known you are the best, the best wife, best mother but I am the only person that knows what a truly wonderful daughter you have always been. You are a true blessing in my life and I couldn't love you any more.

    Do I win???

    Your Mother

  19. I read because I watched you grow up over the years by being a family friend. But now that we have gone our separate ways with our great families those times of catching up in person are very far between. I am so thankful that God led me to your blog because I so enjoy watching your precious children grow up now.

    P.S. Your mom is so sweet & funny - I think she deserves to win.

  20. Hey sweet Allison,
    Well, it goes way back. I will never forget meeting you when we moved in to Nelson dorm our freshman year at ACU. I can't believe we have stayed in touch this long. You are a precious friend. I LOVE hearing about your kids, your family, and your life.
    The Lord is a truly evident in your walk as a mom, a wife, and a Christian sister. You encourage me everytime I read a new post. You were that encourager for me through our whole process (IVF). I always knew I would have an encouraging word from sweet Allison. I am so glad we got see you for a few months in Fort Worth. It was a treat to see you at church. Thanks for being such a great friend and encourager and sharing Harper and Hudson with us.
    I LOVE all of your posts and am so glad we get to share in each other's lives and kids! :)

    I read for several reasons: 1) you're that fun person I met at Crystal's wedding and we instantaneously clicked (it seems like you click with everyone in that way... what a gift!), 2) your blog is always a fun read (I put yours & Annalee's in that special category), and 3) because I NEVER get to see you... I love seeing pictures of those sweet kids and reading about all of life's adventures.
