About

Dandy Giveaway hails from St. Louis, MO. Why dandelions? Well, they were my late grandfather’s favorite flower. That’s right…he didn’t view them as being a weed, but rather a beautiful plant! While others would become frustrated with how they overtook their perfect, green grass he delighted in their appearance. He would always regret having to mow them down, but they were hardy plants that would grow right back and spread across the lawn. I’m sure that his next door neighbors always loved how he was willing to share his dandelions with their lawns! Thanks Boompa for teaching me that all things in life can be just dandy.

Who am I? Well, I just very well might be a 30 something year old with a few more wrinkles since the days of my 20′s. I just might like all things chocolate. This would include chocolate eclairs ( the ones in Paris are the bestest), chocolate cannolis, chocolate covered raisins, and anything Cadbury! I also might be a former traveling girl who did some time working in a children’s emergency room. But what I definitely am now is a psychology educated mommy to one dandy “Banjo” and one dandy “Ruby”, wife to one dandy Audiologist, lady who likes to craft, and the starter of Dandy Giveaway! Yep that’s who I am now and I like who I am just fine.
