Movie weekend has arrived at our house. Over the holiday break we try to hit as many new movies as possible, because man, that’s when all the good ones for the entire come out. All at the same time. Do you do this? Now that our kids are old enough to sit through (and enjoy) movies, we take full advantage of all the bounteous Hollywood movie glory available.
This weekend I’d really like to see the movie: This is 40. Have you heard of it? It opens today, and even though I didn’t want to see it initially (I’m closer to 40 than I’d like to admit, and totally leery of anything reminding me of it), now I’m dying to see it with my husband.
The preview kills me. Clearly Judd Apatow has been married for awhile to have written and directed a movie so (painfully) close to the truth. I think the best part is that the movie stars Apatow’s real life wife, Leslie Mann. Hilarious.
So what does any of this have to do with you? Aside from the fact that you need to go see this move ASAP, I’ve got a little sponsored giveaway: a This is 40 movie prize pack for one of you lovelies.
This is 40 movie giveaway includes:
- $100 Visa gift card for a *date night*
- Plush robe
- Personal fitness kit (ankle weights, hand grips, exercise band + jump rope)
- T-shirt

To enter the movie giveaway leave a comment on this post with your contact information so you can be contacted if you win. The giveaway will last one week, ending at midnight MST on Friday December 28, 2012. Good luck, and happy holidays!

This movie looks like a winner. This is such a great cast of actors. I just turned 30, which was hard enough.Thank goodness 40 is a llittle ways away.

Having passed 40 a while back, I can testify that it only gets better! And, even at my ripe old age of 60, date nights are a lot of fun! I would love to see this movie.
