It’s not quite winter here yet… usually at this time of year it’s cold and snowy.  But so far it’s been mild and there were a few days last week I didn’t even need my coat.  It’s a good thing because I am not a big fan of the cold.  I know that soon enough we will be busy with the Christmas season and covered in snow.  In the midst of all of the busyness I think it’s important to take time to relax and enjoy some nice family time.

That’s where the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel come in.  Now I’ve never been to Branson Missouri, but I have definitely read enough about the area to know that it sounds like a lot of fun.  And there are some great packages that would make it worth while.  The package that we would pick is the Santa’s Coming to Town Package, starting at $189 per night.  There are other packages as well- It’s a Wonderful Life (starting at $329 per night) and the Polar Express Package would be other great choices.  I love the Santa’s Coming to Town package because I know Hailey would love it- hearing a story read by Mrs. Claus and getting presents delivered by Santa- she’d be so excited!

So if you’re looking for a way to escape from all of the hustle and bustle this holiday season, check out what Branson Missouri has to offer.

Right now I am wishing that I lived in Canada so that I could enter this giveaway.  It is sooooo good that I just might have to pick up and move so I can enter.  Okay, not really- but it is that good.  So- I am sure that you are wondering what this fantastic giveaway is all about.

Well- it’s all about a Dr. Oetker Kitchen Makeover Contest.  And I know I would love to have a kitchen makeover and I know my mom would love to have a kitchen makeover.  But, we don’t live in Canada, so I’ll just have to let one of my Canadian readers win.

So then.  There is this site- Dr. Oetker where you can find some great recipes.  Since everyone is always needing new recipes it’s worth checking out.  There is also a $20,000 Kitchen makeover giveaway for Canadian residents.  And if you don’t win the kitchen makeover there is a chance you could win one of the 8 Whirlpool appliances being given away or one of the 2000 Casa di Mama Pizzas or a pizza cutter.  It is super easy to enter and you can enter every day.  So why not check it out?  Someone has to win!
