Today I’m rolling out the red carpet to introduce royalty….the one and only, Skinny Jean Queen! Also known as Carolyn Gray.
We have similar hearts, senses of humor and love of free goodies! Just for Encouraged In Heart readers, Carolyn is giving away two free autographed copies of her hot-off-the-presses book, Secrets of a Skinny Jean Queen: A 7-Step Guide to Help You Eat & Act Like You Have Some Sense (I know, I love the title too!)
How do you win one?
Post a comment answering the following question, “What Queenly title do you claim and wear proudly?”
My answer: Queen of the Crazy Jersey Girls! ![]()
The winners will be contacted and posted here on Friday night! For my friends that don’t win a copy, you can still buy a copy on Amazon for $16.99!
Today, Carolyn and I taped a blog cast at Starbucks as I thought it’d be fun for you to hear from her!
On behalf of the two queens, we hope you have a royal day! ![]()

















































































































































































































Oh darlings…as I tell the kids, you can just refer to me as The Queen of Everything! Congratulations on your book, Carolyn, and on another great blogcast, Dink! You Queens look lovely!
I would like to add that you are also the Queen of Terrorizing Your Younger Sister With Planet of the Apes…a crown you wore proudly from the bottom bunk (darn it self for not being a bed wetter!)
LOVE YOU and CONGRATS SIS!!!!!!!!!!!
I am the queen of my own reality! I am the queen of my household. Oh, and the queen of connection!
The Queen of Connection is a PERFECT title for you my sister!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!
Queen of Cooking, thank you very much!
And also the Queen of Making Dave Not Beef Deficient too!
CONGRATS WINNER and QUEEN! 
Queen of Four Year Old Fun and Frenzy! I love my crazy job, we play and laugh and have fun, and I am in charge of all the fun! I just wait until I get home to collapse, then I am as quiet at a mouse most of the time. I even ordered new “grandma” shoes with orthopedic support to keep up with my kids at school. Nice to have a job you feel like you were put here to do. I am blessed.
You certainly are the Queen of Four Year Old Fun and Frenzy (and of compassion, healthcare and traveling this year too!) and I honelstly don’t know how you keep doing it (and with such peace and always smiling too!) Winning this book is a great way to start off your birthday weekend (and not a week EARLY like another gift you received!) :-0
You can just call me Queen of XY Central! It’s all boys, all the time in our house…just like yours!
And I wouldn’t have it any other way. God knew what he was doing, filling my house with testosterone…I just wish I knew His plan too!
My men drive me crazy, but I love them like crazy in return.
Absolutely the Queen of XY Central…and I’m counting Tom as 2!
CONGRATS QUEEN!!! 
I sure enjoyed watching your blog cast.
And I LOVE the title of the book. I need to eat like I have some sense. LOL I’m probably the Queen of Too Many Hobbies. Ha ha ha. One of my friends just asked me if I could cut something back, and I can’t. I’m a photographer, a scrapbooker, an occasional seamstress (although that word is too professional for what I do, I can’t bring myself to use the word “sewer” when I talk about sewing),and a card maker. All that is on top of being a mom to four. So maybe I should be the Queen of Insanity instead. 
You’re too funny Gwen! You were the Queen of Great Halloween parties back in college too!
CONGRATS YOU WINNER YOU!
