Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round 

on
Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

And the winner is... (Giveaway Results)

on
The giveaway promotion with "East End Eden" was a tremendous opportunity for me as a blogger. Some bloggers giveaway things all of the time, but this was my first foray into the giveaway space. It is true what they say, giveaways increase your blog traffic lie no other. I think that it's because the only thing that Americans like better than Reality TV is free stuff.

I decided to take the plunge for the reason that most bloggers succumb to the lure. I wanted to increase my blog traffic. However, based on my conversations with my readers they are overworked and could use a break from it all.  So, I was thrilled that Emily Escalante decided to give one of my readers the opportunity to win a free massage.  Also, I LOVE "East End Eden" and thought that it was super cool that I could run such a great promotion.

The winner is: Kristie Bowman!!!

Thanks to everyone who entered the contest, including fellow mommy blogger, Rachel Blaufeld. With the help of Andre, I selected a winner. Kristie Bowman wrote a compelling piece about her husband who makes breakfast, helps with the kids and nursed her back to health after she had cancer a double mastectomy. Kristie and her family have endured so much and it sounds like her husband has been their rock. Based on what she has been through Kristie could have entered on her own behalf. However, she nominated her husband because of what he has meant to her and her family. Her husband, Jimmy, sounds like a great man and one who is deserving to win.

Let's all celebrate Jimmy and pray for Kristie's continued recovery.
