Join the LDS Authors Giveaway Hop!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope you all had a wonderfully romantic day with your special someone. Since we have a newborn, we had a stay-at-home date but it was wonderful and relaxing.

Anyway, back to the blog. I am SO excited to announce that I am co-hosting a giveaway blog hop with the fabulous Inspired Kathy from I Am A Reader, Not A Writer. I adore her giveaway hops and can't wait to be a part of this one, especially since we will be featuring LDS authors! Keep reading for more info on the blog hop and for a chance to join in on the fun!
