MINISMITH GIVEAWAY #2!!

If you’re in the mommyblog world, I’m SURE you have come across Amanda Blake Soule of SouleMama. And more recently, her amazing book The Creative Family, that has been inspiring all kinds of creativity and offering a renewed energy for us tired moms to actual enjoy our kiddos and explore life with them. I actually had to stop reading her blog for awhile because I felt like such a crummy, uncreative mom. But that was my issue, not hers. This book really does give perspective on how to enjoy and engage your kids wherever you’re at in life. Even if the most creative thing you’ve done this week is hide the Dora video and make your kids find it…before watching it over and over the rest of the day. Not that I’ VE done that recently.

I’ve loved this book and wanted to share an extra copy I received with one lucky reader. Even if you already have it, it’d make an awesome gift for one of your mommy-friends :)

Leave a comment by midnight EST on Monday, December 15th, 2008 letting me know either (1) your favorite memory being creative or imaginative as a child or (2) a favorite time you shared creating with or being imaginative with a special child in your life (doesn’t have to be your own kid). A winner will be announced on Tuesday, December 16th and your new copy of “The Creative Family” will be sent out asap. Hopefully in time for Christmas, if you plan to share it.

I’m particularly excited about reading these comments as I have oodles of crazy childhood memories and can’t wait to hear yours :)
