This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Sarah G. Congrats!
My life is busy. With two children, a part-time job, and a household, it’s easy to get preoccupied with the busyness of life. But there just isn’t enough goodness in the world. I realized that two weeks ago when a few of us spent a day paying it forward.
1-800-Flowers is on a mission to spread smiles across the nation this summer. The company wants to encourage you to brighten someone’s day with thoughtful gifts and flowers. To provide a bit of inspiration, they’re holding a contest. Now through August 29, 2010, you can submit an entry by writing about that special person who could use a smile. They just might win a Happy Day Bouquet!
I was offered the opportunity to send a bouquet to someone special in my life. I chose my mom and selected the Martha Stewart Sweet Pink Rose and Ivy. As an only child, my mom and I have always been close…she is truly my best friend. She is amazingly supportive, inspirational, kind, and generous. She loves my children like her own, and regularly puts people before her.
Who in your life could use a smile today?
Win It! One of you will win a $50 gift card to 1-800-Flowers to send a smile (and a bouquet of flowers). Simply leave me a comment with the person you’d like to celebrate and the bouquet you’d choose for them. Comments will close on August 9, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn. Want an extra entry? Do any or all of the following and receive an extra entry for each one.
Be sure to leave me a separate comment for each additional entry.

I’d love to send a smile to my BFF! We’ve been besties for more than 20 years, even though we have been living thousands of miles apart for the last 10 years or so. She just had a major surgery to remove three tumors (benign, thank God!) and is recuperating. She could really use a smile!
