They inspire me all the time and I am always in constant awe of the fabulous-ness of their lives! So in honor of our celebration we are giving you cause for celebration as well with TpT stores on sale, a blog hop to gather some freebies, AND a rafflecopter to enter for a chance to win some more goodies!
