Let's Play {Five Truths and a Lie}
+ GIVEAWAY Previews!

My first blogiversary is coming up on August 5th. (Can you believe it?!) While GC&M is still a baby, I thought it would be fun to do a couple of "getting to know you" posts! The first one is a game because I love me some games.

Below, I have listed six statements about myself. Five of them are true, but one of them is a LIE! In the comments here (or on FB or Instagram), tell me which one you think is a lie. The first person to answer correctly will earn five entries that can be used in either of the two giveaways I will be launching in the near future. Anyone else (who is not the first) to answer correctly will earn an entry. You can also earn two entries by listing your own "Five Truths and a Lie" in the comments. I would love to know more about you and will totally play along!

Here goes!

1. I had a two-year-old at home and was pregnant with my second son when I applied and was accepted into a graduate program at a local university. I started work toward a Master of Arts degree in English.

2. My first job (other than babysitting) was in the office of the construction company my great-grandfather founded in 1926.

3. My grandmother (my dad's mom) lived with us for a couple of years. We shared a bathroom.

4. I am half-Irish, and I am pretty good at Irish step-dancing if I do say so myself.

5. When I was little, my left leg was turned inward. I had to wear cables on my legs to straighten it out.

6. I've only been to Disney World once, and my mom describes it as "the vacation from hell." I was hospitalized for dehydration as soon as we arrived home.

Hehe! This is way too much fun. Good luck on earning those extra entries! Just to recap, here's how you can snag them:

{five entries} to the first person who correctly guesses which one of the above statements is a LIE! (You only get one guess! If you guess more than one answer, you are disqualified.)
{one entry} to anyone who guesses correctly, but is not the first. (Again, you only get one guess. Those who guess more than one answer are disqualified.)
{two entries} to anyone who lists their own set of six statements (five truths and a lie) in the comments.

The entries you earn can be applied to either ONE of the giveaways I'll be hosting soon. As promised, here's a sneak peek:

{Giveaway #1} a hardcover copy of the third edition of The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home by Susan Wise Bauer
{Giveaway #2} Blogiversary Celebration! I will be giving away a gorgeous She Reads Truth Bible (your choice of color), a $10 Starbucks gift card, and a tube of my favorite mascara. Get it? Grace, coffee, & mascara! (Or, if you prefer, you can choose an Amazon gift card for the equivalent amount.)

Fine print: To receive extra entries, all guesses and sets of your own "Five Truths and a Lie" must be submitted by 11:59 PM on Wednesday, June 14, 2017. I will reveal the answer and notify the winner on Friday, June 16.
