Pin For the Wednesdays – 25 Ways to tie a scarf

My winning pin for this week might be my favorite pin so far, ever.  You know, in the whole month that I’ve been on Pinterest!  But it’s a really good one, from Wendy’s LookBook, 25 ways to tie a scarf.  My original pin is here, it’s a 5-minute video tutorial of 25 different scarf-ties and it’s awesome! Since I’ve pinned it, I’ve done 4 or 5 new ties!  And I wear a scarf several times a week, so I really needed some fresh looks for mine.  Here are a couple of my favorites!

Vicks “Medicine Cabinet Makeover” giveaway

I’m sad to say this post marks my last one for the Vicks Blogger campaign.  I have loved representing this great brand, and one of my very favorite tried-and-true products, Vicks VapoRub.  Sophie and I were covered in it as recently as last week when she had a virus and had to miss three days of school.  The smell of Vicks was about the only bonus of having a sick five-year-old sleeping in my bed with me!  It helped both of us rest easier.

Anyhoo, to end this campaign with a bang!, Vicks is offering a “Medicine Cabinet Makeover” to one lucky reader.  The makeover is just for the INSIDE of your medicine cabinet and includes a variety of Vicks Vapo products plus DayQuil, NyQuil, and Nature Fusion!  The winner will also receive a “Feel Better Friend” care package from Vicks as well.

To enter this contest, simply go to the Vicks VapoRub Facebook page and leave a comment on their status update “I know I feel better when I can smell _____.”  FIll in the blank by commenting with your answer!

THEN, *this is very important* – come back HERE and leave a comment on this post telling me what you filled in the blank with!  You must comment HERE to gain an entry in the  contest.   The giveaway is on this blog, not Facebook, but you must comment on Vicks’ Facebook page and then come back here and tell me what you said to enter!  One winner will be chosen at random on Sunday, March 18th at 6 PM EST. I will notfy the winner via email and Vicks will deliver your prize.  Ta-da!

Thanks again to the folks at Vicks for including me in this great campaign and letting me spread the VapoLove!

Spring Forward

Here in Ohio, this week it’s really started to feel like spring. I wasn’t a huge fan of the time change the first few mornings, but the days being longer is so nice. We’ve been spending time outside and just tonight we fired up the grill for the first time. Kate and I took a walk last night after dinner – just the two of us… no little brothers, TVs or cell phones. We talked, made plans for the summer, and took note of the signs of spring we saw all over.

It’s warm, it’s sunny, it’s wonderful.

There’s just something about spring, don’t you think? Something freeing. It’s a time to start fresh, a time to leave worries behind. A time to live without worry. To open the windows and air out our houses, our attitudes, and our lives. I, for one, could use some fresh air, and I’m excited to see what this new season holds for us all.
