GIVEAWAY: MyBlogSpark and Progresso Soups

Imagine my excitement when MyBlogSpark gave me yet another opportunity to try some products and also offer a GIVEAWAY to my wonderful readers!

This time I tried 5 different cans (at different times of course!) of 100 calorie or less Progresso soup, and believe it or not, they weren't that bad! Don't get me wrong, you could taste that they were "healthier" than other soups packed with lots of fattening, calorie-filled junk, but definitely palatable.

For my readers, Progresso through MyBlogSpark is offering:

A Progresso "Souper You Debut" gift pack that includes a VIP coupon for a free can of Progresso soup, as well as a yoga mat, water bottle, set of aerobic bands, sport headband and two sport wristbands.

To Enter*:

1. Leave a comment letting me know which flavor of Progresso soup you'd try if you won the prize pack with the FREE coupon, 1 entry

2. Follow me (just leave a comment so I know), 2 entries

3. Share me (just send me the link), 3 entries

One lucky winner will be chosen via random.org TONIGHT. See, I procrastinated and waited til the very last minute to post this giveaway. The deadline for winner submission to MyBlogSpark is tomorrow, so we have to hurry! Good luck!

(Thanks to Progresso for providing the information, products, prize pack, and coupon through MyBlogSpark!)

M.I.A.?

No, I'm not really Missing in Action but it feels like I've been. Since my last post in November, I've been super busy. Humn... let's see how many excuses I can make up?!?!

1. Increased hours and responsibilities at work

2. Celebrated Thanksgiving & Christmas (that is no small feat with my ginormous family)

3. Celebrated 2 kids b-days

4. Moved

5. Longer commute to work

6. Was sick and on 7 prescriptions over a course of 2 months

7. Hosted Easter (umn, for 48 people!)

8. Planning another b-day and Christening.

Ok, well 8 excuses isn't that many, and I'm sure there are multiple other things I've done, but I'm not coming up with any at the moment. If you want to help me out with any, feel free to comment!

So, I'm here whether actually posting or not. : )
