Green mom's cry for help is answered and there is a winner!

The clock is ticking, the calendar has big red x’s…nearing closer to the vacation day, where I will leave my children for five days. I’m not a nail biter and I’m biting my nails (gross)! It’s not because I don’t trust my best friend and her husband. It’s not because I don’t need the break. It’s that I’m going to miss my little cutie pies. I have to get over it and enjoy the R&R…I know. Deep breath, sigh and now I’m moving on.

For all the hard work that my best friend and her hubby will do AND to show them my deepest gratitude I need to bestow upon them a thank you gift. Several ideas were posted or emailed to me in response to my cry for help. I gave all of the ideas a lot of consideration. I thought about what was practical, what I would like, what they would like and came to one fairly large conclusion, I’m some shade of green but they are not! Giving a terrapass and planting a tree was my favorite idea because I would love this and think it was perfect. Ambre(that's how she spells her name), bless her heart just wouldn’t appreciate this. She’d thank me and never tell me that she wasn’t over the moon for it but it’s just not her. Awesome idea though!

The gift idea that would be the greatest fit for this hardworking couple with three boys under the age of 5 (gasp) would have to be from Michelle and she writes:

“This idea comes from a mom with a very heavy 8 month old...get them gift certificates for a massage or some kind of spa treatment. Oh, I would kill for something like that these days!”

Michelle, I couldn’t agree with you more. Maybe I’ll spring for a couples massage and of course take the kids for them!! Michelle has won the best laundry booster and stain fighter out there and it’s natural! Yahoooo! I tracked you back Michelle but can’t find an email. So if you’re reading this contact me so I can send you your prize! Thanks for the help everyone!
