Scott Naturals 4 Week Test Drive – Week 2
As I mentioned last week, Scott Naturals is celebrating Earth Month by encouraging everyone to take their 4 Week Test Drive, and try their new products out for four weeks. Additionally, they’ve pledged to give $1 to the National Wildlife Foundation for every person who clicks on this link. All you have to do is click, and they’ll donate up to $25,000!
The National Wildlife Foundation is big on encouraging kids to get outside. We try to stay out as much as possible in the summer, and I can’t wait until the weather is nice enough for us to be outside regularly. NWF is a great resource for ideas of what to do as well – check out their activity finder or their B Kind 2 Earth Day Facebook page (in partnership with The Motherhood) the next time you need a little inspiration!
Once again this week, we’re giving away Scott Naturals Kit, which contains bath tissue, paper towels, flushable moist wipes, and napkins. Entering is easy! Just leave a comment here telling us your favorite outdoor activity. For an extra entry, click here (so Scott will donate $1 to NWF for you) and leave a separate comment saying you did so. This contest will end on Thursday, April 29. Good luck!

Commenting on Comments
This is a very random (and not very substantial) post, but I am perplexed by something today.
Jenny and I love, love, love it when people comment on our posts. I have heard Jenny say more than once, “No one has commented on my post today and it makes me want to kill myself.”
Not to put pressure on you or anything!
But yeah, when you comment and give us advice or tell a story or just say “hellz yeah,” it makes our day. Really, it does.
And, a lot of times the comments you leave are way smarter and more insightful than whatever we’ve been able to unintelligibly barely articulate in the actual post.
A few months ago we installed a WordPress plug-in (are we techy or what?) that allows us (or you) to reply directly to a comment that has been made, and if someone comments on your comment, you get an email notification. Did you follow that?
But it occurred to me today that we don’t take advantage of that feature as often as we could or should, and it’s not because we don’t value your comments, it’s just because… well, I guess because we haven’t gotten in the habit of it.
OMG could I possibly belabor this point any more??
My question is this – when you leave a comment, do you hope someone will respond? To make this lame post more exciting (to me, anyway) let’s take a vote.
