Blogiversary Giveaway and Growing Up Gator

This month we’re celebrating Grow Gator’s one year anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been a year already! I’ve enjoyed getting to know some of you and sharing in the spirit and camaraderie that is Gator Nation. Thank you for following me and my family as we explore the orange and blue lifestyle as a family, and thank you for supporting the brands featured on this blog!

grow-up-gator-bookWhat better way to celebrate this blog about growing up in Gator Nation than with learning about this great book we discovered called, “When I Grow Up, I’ll Be a Gator.”

Written by Amy Hammond, a fellow UF J-school alum, former UF athlete and overall die-hard fan, the book takes your little Gator on a journey to what it’s like at UF from Growl and sports to around campus and Gator pride.

The book is sturdy and perfect for little hands and the colorful illustrations are eye-catching. What I like is that this book works for toddlers, but the illustrations are not babyish, so this book will grow alongside your child. I particularly like the illustration shout out to Weimer Hall (perfect for those who graduated from the Journalism school like me)!
