The Sunday Social, Week 104! (Giveaway)

By 6 Comments


Hey y’all!

Today is the day!! We are celebrating TWO YEARS of Sunday Social! Woo hooooooo!

This week’s questions are all about YOUR blog!

1. Introduce yourself and your blog to us.
I’m Ashley, and my blog is Ashley Lately! I write about…my life, my family, my friends, my work, and my love for Dr. Pepper!

2. What is your favorite form of Social Media and why?
I think right now, Instagram is my favorite! I love taking and sharing pictures, and I love looking at other people’s pictures too! I think it’s a fun way to share pieces of your life.

3. What made you start a blog?
I started a blog after reading other blogs for about a year. I’ve always loved writing, and I saw a blog as a fun way to document my life. I never imagined I would still be doing this over four years later, and I never imagined I would meet fabulous people and make great friends!

4. What do you feel the most meaningful/special post you’ve written is?
One of my posts that’s special to me is a post called A Temporary Home, where I wrote about foster care. I spent three years working in adoption and foster care, and those things are very special to me, and I loved getting to share that part of my heart with my readers.

Your turn! Answer the questions, grab our button, and link up with Neely and me!

Fun Gift Ideas (A Target Giveaway)

By 78 Comments

*I was compensated for this post, but all opinions are my own.*
Hey y’all!
Today I want talk about fun gift ideas! I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy gift-giving. I love shopping for people and picking out something special that I hope they will love. I love seeing their excitement when they open their gifts too!

Like I mentioned in a post last week, Target has really become one of my favorite places to shop, not just for myself but for gifts. They always have such a fun variety of gift ideas, and I was even able to get several Christmas gifts there this year!

I am OBSESSED with scarves! Seriously, I have a whole closet full of them :) I love fun colorful ones, and Target always has such a fun selection! I love giving them as gifts! It’s fun to pick out the perfect color combination to fit the person you’re shopping for.

 A girl can never have too much nail polish! A set like this with a variety of colors will make any girly-girl happy. I bought a set similar to this one earlier in the year, and I’ve painted my nails more this year than I have in a long time!

If you have friends and family that love to cook, cookbooks are a fun idea! Add a few cooking utensils and a cute apron, and you’ve got a great gift! It’s no secret around here that I love Pioneer Woman, so I would definitely recommend one of her books :)

Coffee mugs are another obsession of mine! I don’t drink coffee, but I love hot chocolate, and I’m convinced it tastes better when it’s in a cute mug :) I love giving gifts of a fun mug with a box of hot chocolate or a package of coffee!
Don’t we all have that one friend or family member that is just impossible to shop for? Target has cute gift cards in the store, but they also have a huge selection of Digital GiftCards! The fun things about them is that you can either have the card emailed to the recipient or sent via text message! How cool is that? These are great especially when you need to give a gift last minute or you can’t be there to give the gift in person.
Today, one lucky reader will win a $25 Target GiftCard!
Visit the Target website, and leave me a comment telling me your favorite gift idea! That’s it! Enter with the Rafflecopter below!
Happy shopping, y’all!

I have had so much fun, and I really appreciate everyone who has followed, commented, emailed, or even just visited my little blog once. Thank you so much!

Ok, now, what you’re REALLY here for! :) I made a video on Sunday afternoon drawing for the winner of my giveaway! It has been soooo hard to keep it a secret, and now I can finally tell you all who won!

Congratulations! Email me today your mailing address, and I will get it mailed out to you tomorrow! My email is ashleyscarnivalride@yahoo.com.
