So it’s late, late Sunday night and I am so very exhausted. Of course, I blame it entirely on another busy weekend heading into another hectic week– grocery shopping, laundry, errands, dinner, cleaning, backpacks and nap bedding packed and ready for school in the morning… and NOT on the fact that I am still up long after my bedtime.
I’ve done a lot today, but I still wish I had ONE. MORE. DAY. to catch up… or at least, catch my breath!
Well, it so happens that we DO get an extra day once every four years on Leap Day and it’s coming up this week. A full twenty-four hours to do… what?
Nap? Reorganize your kitchen drawers? Redesign your blog? Pull the kids out of school and head to the boardwalk?
The possibilities are endless but perhaps, Leap Day is a chance to try something new! A new yoga classes? A new recipe? Skydiving?
In honor of Leap Day, Quaker Oats invites you to share the “delightful discovery” you hope to experience with your extra day! And they would like to offer you an extra $75 to help make this possible. (Details below.)
