How do you like the new look? Ragan over at Blogger Boutique worked very hard to please my OCD self, and I really like what she came up with. I have been to anxious to display it for all of you guys!
And for even more celebrating, a GIVEAWAY! Yeah yeah yeah!
As I mentioned in my BATW post, one of my favorite things about living in Germany is how clean everything is. The environment is certainly a top priority. A habit I have started here is using Reisenthel products instead of plastic and paper bags. My basket is used daily, along with several other items...
One of my favorites is the wine bag...
It can be used to purchase wine when you go to France, or the grocery store, which ever you choose. :) It can also be used to take your bottles to the recycling bins! Isn't it cute?
Another favorite are the collapsible shopping totes. They fold up so tiny and clip in any purse or bag. That way, you always have a bag to use without having to resort to plastic! Cool huh?
Look how tiny it folds up!
(Both of these are especially helpful to me now because many European stores don't even have bags. They EXPECT you to bring your own.)
So, one lucky winner will win 1 of each of these items to start their own little German greeness habits! The pink wine bag pictured above and a black version of the shopping bag could be yours! Not the wine though, sorry :(
How do you win? Well...
- Receive one entry by leaving a comment on this post. Telling me how great I am always helps. Ha!
- Receive another by also posting a link to my giveaway on your blog.
- And, because I am so incredibly nice, you can receive yet another (for a total of 3) by becoming a follower of my blog, or adding me to your blog roll.
Deadline for entering is Monday, November 17th, 5 pm CST. Winners will be announced sometime Tuesday, depending on how long it takes me to get over to all of your blogs. :)
Happy 100th post to me. Happy 100th post to me. Happy 100th post to meeeeeeeeeeee! Happy 100th post to me!

Congrats on 100 posts!! Wow, when I found you not too long ago I would've figured you'd been blogging forever! (well not forever since you look fabulously young, but you know what I mean)
Love love the new look as well!
Whoo hoo for 100!
yeah on 100 posts...I could use that over here!!! And I have you in my google reader... does that count for an extra chance to win?
Love the new background! Very, very cute!!
Great giveaway...I would totally love to win it - seeing as I always end up walking out of German stores with an armful of crap that I'm juggling through the parking lot since I never have my own bag :)
I'll give you some publicity on my site today! (your giveaway actually fits in nicely with my post...hehe)

I just found your blog, and I love it! I love your layout - it is so cute :) Please enter me in your giveaway - I recently started using reusable bags, but they are the ugly ones you can buy at the store. They still work though! I'll also post about it on my blog and become a follower :)
What a great giveaway! I found the link to your blog off of A Pretty Peony and it is just too cute! My sister was military and stationed in Germany for 5 years and I LOVED visiting her!! I spent one summer working on base and traveling through Germany and would love to take my husband back there someday. I hope you are enjoying it!
Congrats on 100, and thank you for the info about pets overseas. Love the new blog look.

I love your new layout! Super cute!I made a special note for you on my blog yesterday, it's about Mexican food...er, lack there of. :)
YEAH! Congrats on your 100th and many more! I have recently gone NO PLASTIC, and am doing quite well! It took some memory work to remember the bags...but as I add to my collection I can leave more in the car so I'll always be ready! Thanks for the chance!
Oooooooooooh 100 posts!! I'm not sure when I'll get there! :) That wine bag is adorable!! Have a nice weekend Casey!!

Thos bags are so cute! I'll use the heck out of 'em taking stuff back and forth to the kids school, and the little shopping trips that I make. How cool would that be to have a piece of Germany with me everyday. I would think of you often! I think we would have to call them the "Casey Totes". I can imagine putting our glass to recycle in the "Casey Tote" on the way to recycle it :o)
How fun.
Congratulations on 100 posts and I love, Love, LOVE your new blog! So great!
Wow, 100 posts already. I can't believe it. Then again, I can. I wondered when you were going to change over to the new blog. It's cute! I see you didn't listen to me on the frame. What's new. Do I qualify for the giveaway? Or shouldn't you send me a cute bag for running your Target errands :)
Yeahhhh for 100!!
I love the new layout! Very nice and especially the font!

CONGRATS!
I'm proud of you for being a military wife - you stand beSIDE someone who sacrifices to keep us all safe. I have great admiration. And you sacrifice by standing by your man. I'm going to follow your blog if for the very reason I'm excited to share your journey!
Thanks so much for inviting us along!
I don't drink wine, but my sister does - this would be perfect for her for Christmas!
Happy 100th! I LOVE all the totes...these are super cute! And speaking of cute, you and your husband are just adorable!
Yay for 100 posts!! I love the new blog look!
Congratulations on the 100th post! And I love the look as well! So bright and happy. :)
I love the give away! I have been wanting one of those bags (like the wine bag) for some time now. A friend of mine was over there and came back with one and I have been looking high and low for one! WOOHOO!!! :)
Congrats on 100 posts!! This fabulous giveaway is a great way to celebrate! I've added a link to you on my blog.
Hi, I came over from Weins World. Would like to enter your give away. Like the new Jazzy look. I just ran to Target for the fun of looking around. We do have great store in the States.
Oh they're adorable! Want want want! They are way cuter than those ugly green reusable bags they sell at the commissary here! Plus it's collapsible! This girl always takes her own bags to go shopping. I hate accumulating the plastic (I feel bad throwing them). Congratulations on your 100th post!
I'm excited to stumble upon your adventures from Life in Germany's blog! My mom grew up military in Germany and I love comparing her stories to yours!
Congrats on your 100th post! I have a wine bag from a local store that cost $1, and every time you bring it in and use it, they take $1 off each bottle of wine you purchase! What a great deal!
I'm adding you to my blogroll right after leaving this comment. I just ran across your blog, and I'm glad I did. I always love reading about overseas because I am hopefully going to be joining all of you next year.
WOOHOO!! Yay for 100!!
Cute blog - I love the background...I found you through Allison and I'm a sucker for free stuff. Don't tell anyone, k?
