A Happy Chance Life: #7. I don't like milk unless it's in cereal

A recent Instagram post by one of my favorites, Natalie Fredrick, got me thinkin' -- People are so much more than what meets the eye. Of course this is not a new revelation, by any means. "Don't judge a book by it's cover" is something we are taught in elementary school. Even still, it's something we are all guilty of forgetting from time to time.

Natalie is the witty, sarcastic, drop dead gorgeous owner of Top Knot Goods, an online shop dedicated to easy going yet ever-so trendy clothing...you'll find yourself lusting over everything from furry jackets to trucker hats with vintage patches. Natalie is known as @topknotgoods on Instagram, and she is currently hosting a giveaway asking her followers to create a post titled "20 Things about me". After compiling my list, and laughing at how ridiculous some of them are, I couldn't help but read what other followers (even Natalie herself) had listed as their 20 interesting/random facts. I was surprised by many and was, again, reminded that there is no such thing as normal...no such thing as perfection. We are all really fabulous and unique! -- And, yes, I have written about this before, but it never hurts to have a little beginning of the week reminder. Right?

My list consisted of things like: veins gross me out, I don't like milk unless it's in cereal, and I really hate my waist long hair. -- Just to name a few.

I know....I'm deep. My #21 would be that I work in a pest control office (this one), and I hate bugs. I know more about bugs and termites than I ever thought possible. Just when you thought I couldn't get any more interesting...BAM!

It's a fun giveaway though, and reading other instagramer's facts has been entertaining! Head over to @topknotgoods to follow along and enter. Winners are announced Wednesday. You will NOT be sorry you ran across this store!

Speaking of GIVEAWAYS -- I am currently in the midst of a little giveaway too! I have teamed up with my good friend, Brandie of Oliver Ann Luke, to give one lucky winner some pretty adorable items for their little one. Head over to my Instagram feed, @xohappychance, to enter. Our winner will be selected at random and announced tomorrow. So, hurry!

Here's what the weekend looked like at our house:

Madilyn had a Birthday last Friday! #9 to be exact! She wished for guinea pigs, and guinea pigs she got. They are brothers, and their names are Buddy and Snickers. Bentley (the dog) pretty much wants to have them for dinner.
