I enter contests all the time. Seriously, I bet I enter a few hundred a year. I rarely win, but today on this rainy Monday, I won!!! Maggie of Mighty Girl ran a contest giving away some children’s items and I won. I don’t know yet what I’ll do with these children’s items. I need to see the items first but some might find themselves gift-wrapped and at birthday parties or under Christmas trees!

To enter the contest, you had to comment on the post with a childhood memory. Normally I don’t blog about my parentals, but this is one of my favorite memories:

When I was a tween I stayed home sick one day and spent the entire day in my parents’ bedroom on their waterbed watching TV. When my dad came home he brought me 1) my favorite movie to watch (Mine, Yours and Ours starring Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda), 2) a king-sized Nestle Crunch bar and 3) some movie star teen magazine. It was completely out of the ordinary, sweet and made me want to be sick more often!
