It’s about time for another giveaway isn’t it? It’s a bit of a dreary snow day here, so I thought it was about time to do something fun. Do you remember the adorable Twilight Turtle I wrote about here? It came from the Über customer friendly boutique Sugarplum Dreams where you can find anything from kids apparel, furniture, and decor to keepsakes and toys. It’s a really cute store. And one of you is going to win a $50 gift…

Water. This is my Monday fitness tip to you today: water. Become best friends with it. Drink it all day long. Just drink it. It cleanses your system, hydrates you, {I tend to get as dehydrated in the Winter as the Summer} fills you up, keeps you focused. I’m less hungry if I drink properly.

Cook on low all day long. Voila! Tender, moist chicken that shreds off the bone and skin in a flash. Ideal for myriad recipes–anything really–like enchiladas, chicken salad, rice…

I’m spending the day in the city today minus the kids, + the husband doing whatever it is we please for the whole darn day. The thought of so much uninterrupted kid time leaves me a bit speechless, and frankly I’m buzzing with excitement.
