****CONTEST HAS ENDED****
While I won’t be blogging at all next week, enjoy this Christmas present from me to you.
Actually, this is sort of from me (I’m contributing the blog space) but mostly from the nice folks over at Yes to Carrots, the purveyors of paraben free, organic veggie-filled hair and skin products like those lip butters up there and the ones who are providing the prize.
We’re going to have a little contest, and the winner will receive two free movie tickets (through Fandango) to see Yes Man with Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel.
Here’s how it works:
1. Anytime from now and all through Christmas week, use the comments section on this post to tell me what you’re going to say “Yes” to in the New Year.
2. Next weekend, I’ll let the girls pick their favorite answer.
3. On Monday, December 29, I’ll email and announce the winner.
That’s it. Simple, right?
In the meantime, have a wonderful Christmas if you celebrate it and a fabulous week if you don’t.
See you December 29.
****CONTEST HAS ENDED****


I’ve had so much fun baking with my daughters this month… I’m going to say yes to baking more often.
I’m going to say “YES!” to playing more and having fun with our four kids, and NO to trying to keep the housework accomplished……….
Actually, I’m revising my answer. Delete that first one. I’m going to say yes to being a grandma!
I’m going to say ‘yes’ to winning the lottery, ‘yes’ to attractive women – regardless of the question and perhaps before they finish asking it, ‘yes’ to anyone at Whole Foods Market who offers me a free sample of something yummy …
Joking aside, I’m going to say ‘yes’ to the great outdoors. I’m going to fish, climb, camp, snowboard, hike, canoe, whatever – no matter what the season or the weather. There is so much to enjoy outside of work.
Mine are all hopeful yes’s: Gonna give a big ole’ YES! to making it thru this winter with no inpatient stay for DS (my asthma boy). Gonna say yes to the big kids when they want to hold the new baby come February, and then a follow-up yes when they ask if they’re doing it right and if the baby likes them. And another big YES! when DD continues to do well on just claritin (no more flovent, at least for now!).
Hope you all had a great holiday!
