We’re celebrating 10 years of The Seasoned Mom with a fun giveaway! I’ve included a handful of my favorite gifts for one special grand prize winner, as well as gift cards for 10 more lucky readers.
I started this blog as a hobby back in November of 2012, when I was still working in my legal career. Instagram wasn’t a “thing,” and online advertising was largely nonexistent. I only had two toddlers at the time (ages 1 and 2!), and I used the website as a way to document life with my boys. From their little art projects to our family adventures, as well as a handful of our favorite meals, everything was fair game. I gradually realized that strangers were visiting my blog, and they were largely coming for the food!
Over the last decade, our family has expanded, I’ve narrowed the focus to recipes, and this site has turned into my full-time business. Many of you are no longer strangers on the internet or anonymous readers, but online friends who I “chat” with regularly through our keyboards. The success of this site is due entirely to your consistent support!
Giveaway!
As a THANK YOU for reading and subscribing to my blog, I’m giving away a GRAND PRIZE to one lucky subscriber, as well as 10 Amazon gift cards to 10 more subscribers.
If you’re not already subscribed, you can sign up in the box below, and I will pick a winner at random on November, 23. If you’re already a subscriber and receive my weekly Sunday newsletter, you don’t need to do anything extra to enter.

The Grand Prize Package
One subscriber will win each of the 5 items in this Grand Prize package! None of these are sponsored — I’m spending my own money to send you some of my favorite gifts as a thank you for your support. I’ve specifically selected things that I personally own and love, and that I think will bring comfort and coziness to your home in the season ahead.
Le Creuset Dutch Oven | Farmhouse Pottery Silo Mug | Mason Cash Mixing Bowl | Warm + Cozy Candle | Barefoot Dreams Socks
5.5 Quart Le Creuset Dutch Oven: It’s no secret that the cast iron Dutch oven is my favorite kitchen tool. I always have at least one of them out on the stovetop, and I use them year-round for everything from pot roast to fried chicken, bread to chili. The 5.5-quart version is a nice mid-size option. It’s not as big as the larger 7.25-quart Dutch oven that I use for the biggest batches of soup and chili, but it’s a versatile pot that works for most soups and stews, as well as smaller recipes like no-knead Dutch oven bread. This heirloom piece should last you a lifetime…and beyond!
Farmhouse Pottery Silo Mug: I have a number of these perfect mugs in my cabinets. They’re wheel thrown in Vermont by the talented artists at Farmhouse Pottery, one of my favorite small business to support. The mug fits comfortably in your hands, is dishwasher and microwave safe, and will find a home in any kitchen. It’s ideal for all of your warm cups of coffee, tea, or cocoa in this season!
Mason Cash Bowl: I received this mixing bowl as a gift last year for Christmas, and it quickly became one of my most-used pieces of equipment. With holiday baking season on the horizon, I know that you’ll love this giant bowl for all of your biscuit dough, bread dough, cake batter, and cookie dough projects!
Sweet Water Decor “Warm + Cozy” Candle: One of my favorite winter scents, this soy candle is a blend of orange, cinnamon, clove, vetiver, and pine — making it ideal for the holidays, and for the months that follow. It adds a lovely (but not overpowering) touch of warmth and coziness to your home, just as its name suggests!
Barefoot Dreams Cozy Chic Socks: In keeping with the cozy theme, these are the softest, most comfortable socks that you’ve ever put on your feet. Perfect for lounging by the fire, and also a great stocking stuffer!
Amazon Gift Cards
In addition to this grand prize package, I will be selecting 10 more subscribers who will each win a $25 gift card from Amazon. Just a little something to say “thank you,” and to help you treat yourself in the weeks ahead.
Again, if you haven’t signed up to receive my weekly email and recipes, you can do so in the box below. As a subscriber, you will automatically be entered to win! If you’re already subscribed, you don’t need to do anything extra to enter.
