At this time of year, life is going at the speed of light, so it seems. If you have school-aged children, they are back in school, and likely have a very full after-school schedule, as well. You may also be in school pursuing a degree. And everyone is done with their summer vacations and back to the grind, be it in the office, the classroom or at home.
This is a fun time of year, full of excitement and possibility. But it is sorely lacking in relaxation, special treats and little indulgences.
I have a very special treat for one lucky Stuff Parents Need reader, courtesy of 1800Flowers! I have one $40 gift certificate up for grabs, and I want whoever wins to TREAT YOURSELF to something beautiful! Promise me you will! We all need little fun treats like what 1-800Flowers.com has to offer, but we so rarely get them!
And here’s the really great news: 1-800Flowers.com can help you treat yourself or someone else in your life any time of year, and September is the perfect time to surprise pretty much anyone (even the folks with September birthdays, though they won’t be quite as surprised!). They offer delightful bouquets for any occasion, or no occasion at all!
If I were going to be surprised with something this month, I’d most like to have this amazing fall bouquet! I’d also love to put this bonsai plant in my husband’s office. Isn’t it gorgeous???
This contest will be open until September 26th at 11:59pm EST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to their winning notification before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Open to residents of the United States. Limit one entrant per household, please.
Mandatory entry: Tell me one way that you like to treat yourself. I need ideas!

I treat myself to body messages, I guess I am lucky because a lady in my town actually enjoys giving them and ask nothing in return but donations. She is a retired nurse and my husband found out about her from the fire dept. where he works.

When I have the time I like to just sit and knit or read a book. That is luxury to me.

I like to treat myself to a chai latte, maybe a little dark chocolate and watch a show on tv that is my show. No kids or hubby shows, but something just for me. 🙂

I'm all about the mani/pedi-I love knowing that I must sit still and relax for an hour- then, pretty fingers and toes!

I get a small, slightly expensive box of chocolate. I have one piece a day. I really enjoy it, and I love to get to taste new chocolates.

I haven't done it since I had my daughter, but I love to go to the movies by myself. I get a big popcorn and coke and pig out with no regrets! 🙂
