Carmen Trease, congratulations, you may contact me to collect your WF giftcard!  I am so excited that my first giveaway went so great…  40 entries, not too shabby for the first freebie .  And, glad I had something to cheer up my day because I had to cancel and reschedule my son’s 1st birthday party today due to fever and throwing up .  It was a sad day in our house!!  Stay tuned, I will have lots more fun giveaways in the near future.  Hope everyone is looking forward to a great week.

Also, I will post home remedies that we used for cold/flu/congestion this season.  I will also share what we used to help naturally boost Harper’s immunity and bring down his fever.

Part of what I love about the blogging world- and admit it, you love it too- are the giveaways and freebies…  And, I know I promised giveaways on my blog.  Don’t worry, I will not disappoint.  I intended to do this sooner, but of course, life got in the way.  So speaking of cleanse, and lifestyle, and celebration, and my friends…  Who doesn’t love Whole Foods Market?!  And, who doesn’t love free stuff and giveaways?!  Whole Foods is a big reason we survived our cleanse so easily, and a big part of what makes this lifestyle easy.  I love Whole Foods, and I am so grateful to have one nearby!  I will not complain about their prices, I see the value in paying good money for good food…  In the words of Jordan Rubin, “You can pay the farmer now, or you can pay the doctor later!”

But, I would like to offer to help out with your Whole Foods bill…  How does a $30 gift card to Whole Foods sound?  Yep, that’s what’s up for grabs, my friends.  How do you win?  The winner will be randomly picked in a few days.  To be entered in the contest, leave a comment on this post.  Want a second entry?  Link me to your Facebook page, and comment telling me you’ve done so.  Want a third entry?  Link my blog on your blog, and comment telling me you’ve done so.  And, for a fourth entry, if you have done the cleanse, write up a testimonial on your blog or Facebook about your experience- I can’t wait to read them (don’t forget to share a recipe or website)!  Winner will be announced at the end of the week, so start commenting and linking!  Also, if you will create an account for free here, your pic will show up when commenting, which is much more enjoyable for me and other readers.

Curious how I ended up after the cleanse?  Well, I lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks, my sugar cravings are gone and I am sleeping a lot deeper.  But, one of our favorite things about this program is that we are cooking at home consistently and enjoying at least 1 (usually 2) meals at home around the table as a family.  I hope you’ll get to experience the wonderful results of making healthier choices, Happy Cleansing!
