I've kind of got a sinus infection funk, fever going on and have now completely lost my voice..YES the kids are thrilled. "WHAT, WE CAN'T HEAR YOU MOMMY?"
What was wrapped in the bubble wrap you ask......I got a phone call a couple weeks ago from NY, NY. It was a lady telling me that out of thousands of entries-I was one of 25 runners up in SELF Magazines "WOMEN DOING GOOD" Contest!
The 25 runner-up entries may also be featured as “Women Doing Good” on BurtsBees.com and SELFConnected.com from the month of June 2009 to June 2010. What A GREAT WAY to get our message out! God is awesome about opening the doors of opportunity to get our cause "out there."
I didn't even know I entered. WHY? My sweet cousin Beth, entered me.
She is such a huge lover of our family, our children and our cause for adoption & Drug Endangered Children.
This is what I got... 
A gift basket with 13 FABULOUS ITEMS From Burt's Bees! Burt's chose the 25 runners up!
My favorites are these: I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THEM!
