I have to admit that I’m one of those people who is in such a rush in the mornings - getting kids dressed, fed and on their way, getting myself ready to go and always running late. I never have time to sit down and actually eat breakfast at home. And I also have to admit that there have been days where I’m looking for a last minute option for feeding one of my kids breakfast as we hurry out the door on the way to school, daycare, church or soccer games. Breakfast BREAKS is a great way to make sure your kids get breakfast in the morning, and now the company wants to give moms a break from the daily race. Breakfast BREAKS is teaming up with Denise Jonas, mom of the country’s hottest band, The Jonas Brothers, in search of “Mom’s Craziest Morning.” Moms can simply log on to the Breakfast BREAKS website and enter their “craziest morning” story for a chance to win four tickets to one of the The Jonas Brothers’ summer concerts. And if that’s not enough, to truly give Mom’s a break, they’re also throwing in a $150 Gift Certificate to Spafinder.com. So, while the kids are busy being kids, Mom can take the day off to relax and unwind at her choice of one of 4,000 spas. The “In Search of Mom’s Craziest Morning” contest will run from May 1st to June 15th at www.BreakfastBREAKS.com. One winner from four regions of the country will be chosen. If you know of a contest or giveaway that I missed, just e-mail me or leave a comment below and I’ll add it in! Enjoy and good luck!
