My husband I are taking a vacation to Lake Tahoe tomorrow morning! I am so excited I can't stand myself. If you know me, the mix of snow, cold weather, skiing, and no beach do not usually equal a vacation for me. I am broadening my horizons, plus it's free (thanks to our wonderful friends, Jon and De). It is also KID FREE - do I sound too excited? I love my children more than anything on this earth (besides my husband), but I am in DESPERATE need of a break. My amazing sister and brother-in-law and my parents are stepping in to care for our children. So not only do we get to get away, but we get to do stress free because our children are with family. What a blessing! All that to say: I will be MIA for the next few days. Get some good deals while I'm gone, spend alone time with your husband this weekend, and play with your children. I'll tell you all about it upon my return. Here are some cool contests and deals I came across that I thought might be interesting:
