We all have our favorite people in blogland.  Those that we read without fail and feel like we know, even without ever having shook their hand or given them a hug.

There is one little boy in the blogosphere that I have been watching grow for a number of years.  His name is Clayton.

In the time that I have been reading his mom’s blog, he has changed from a toddler flossing without his two front teeth:

To a full-fledged ladies man:

His mom, who blogs at Peach Out of Water, has been great fun to get to know too.

She has taught me everything I need to know about Southern hair:

More importantly, she demonstrates what it means to be truly passionate about motherhood:

As fate would have it, Peaches’ active participation in last week’s events paid off!  Last night, her lucky number was drawn by my kids.  I am thrilled to announce that Clayton and Peaches are the proud new owners of a Flip Ultra HD Video Camera.

CONGRATULATIONS!

I just hope that Clayton will share his new toy with his mom from time to time.

Winners of the remaining three Flip Video Cameras are also being announced on Mama’s Losin’ It, Better in Bulk, and Seven Clown Circus today.  To see who these lucky people are, you’ll have to do some clicking.
