"My Mini Moment" Contest

~

DOVE Ice Cream asked me to blog about their new contest called "My Mini Moment". After reading about the particulars of the blog request I thought "Who needs a mini moment more than some of the tadpoles?"

~

We are all one or more of the following: a wife, a Mother, a sister, a daughter or an Aunt - and, as such, it seems we never quite have a moment for just ourselves, doesn't it? Dove did a survey and out of 400 woman they discovered that over 70% were taking "me time". I shook my head and said to Pooldad "Well they weren't surveying the women I am friends with." I read your blogs and empathize with what is going on in your lives and I know everyone would like more time to themselves - I know I would.

So, I read the requirements for entering the contest:

• You must be a woman.
• You need to submit a photo and a short essay describing your perfect mini moment.
• The deadline is June 7, 2010.

I thought PERFECT - y'all are great writers and I have seen your wonderful photographs - so a short essay and a pic' of yourself? Easy Peasy by June 7th, right?

Well, when you get a moment. Hee.

To enter you can visit: Dove Ice Cream - My Mini Moment Contest

Three winners will win one of the following:

• A mini getaway to Napa Valley
• Spa services for a year
• A mini home makeover

I know which I would chose for a few of you - but for me? The Spa services - oh! to be pampered for a year? That would be several mini moments for me.

I did go to the store and purchase a box of the minis and I have to say - for only 70 calories they are delicious. Then again I love anything Dove because their chocolate coating is always so decadent and these are the perfect snack after a meal or a little pick me up between meals. They are so rich tasting. Bonus! If you like coffee you will really enjoy their Cafe' Collection which includes Java Chip and Cappuccino - you know I only had one of those before the Squirrel and Pooldad arrived home don't you? Thank goodness Wallene is too young for coffee otherwise I wouldn't have had one.

We all have our own idea of what a mini escape would be so go ahead and enter - you might win some time to yourself.
