Summertime Family Fun: A Chance to Win a Funjet Vacation to Mexico

My family and I just enjoyed a fun-filled vacation at Walt Disney World Resorts last month. They had such a good time we didn’t even make it home before the kids were hounding me about where we are going next.

I want to ride on a plane.

I want to go to the beach.

Can we go tomorrow?

Ugh.

Don’t get me wrong I LOVE traveling with my kids but it can also be a logistical nightmare challenge and quite expensive. I was truly excited when the lovely ladies at TravelingMom.com asked me to be a panelist in their upcoming Funjet Twitter Party on Monday, April 18, 9-10 p.m. EST. Funjet Vacations is giving away some Funjet swag and a Grand Prize Funjet vacation to Mexico for a family of four, including airfare and four nights at Azul Beach Resort.

Ooh, I see a spot for me in my new bikini, ahem, right under one of those palm trees.

Yup. You read correctly. A Funjet vacation for four to Mexico. Hello. You can join in the fun and RSVP at TravelingMom to ENTER to WIN here. Coincidentally, one of the first vacations Husband and I went on was a Funjet trip to Mexico. We had a BLAST. Hmm, if I win do I have to take the kids? Just kidding. Sort of.

I’ve been traveling a lot running destination races and attending conferences. It’ll be nice to do a summertime getaway with the entire family. What are your plans for the summer? Margaritas anyone?

Giveaway: 5 Reasons I’m Rockin’ Fila Body Toning Pants and Want to Give You Some, Too!

The good folks at Fila were kind enough to send me a pair of the new toning resistance long tights to try out and that’s exactly what I did. I wore them during a strength training workout and on a 3 mile run. Here are the Top 5 reasons why I didn’t want to take them off like them and want to give you some, too.

1. They look FABULOUS on. Sure that’s superficial but when I look good, I feel good and enjoy working out more. Yes y’all they hide the flaws. Some tights show the not so flattering side of my thighs and butt, ahem, but I could run to Target to do a little shopping in these tights and turn a few heads.

2. They FEEL good. When I pulled them out the package I thought I would never be able to pull them up, but I did and they felt comfortable. They hugged my body but didn’t give me that squeezed-to-tight feeling; and I love that they come high enough that I don’t have spillage at my waist. Very important, folks.

3. They keep me WARM. I hate to be cold. Hate it. I know I live in Hotlanta but those early morning runs in the winter time can be chilly. These tights were thick enough for my winter workouts.

4. Husband paid me a COMPLIMENT. He noticed my new look and happily volunteered to take this picture for my post.

GASP! The ever so important rear view.

5. They were LONG enough. At 5’11 finding tights and pants that are long enough for me can be challenging. I didn’t feel like I was wearing high-waters. They fit comfortably and had no slippage. Slippage sucks.

Would you like a pair? I have TWO to send to two lucky winners. Here’s the skinny – no pun intended – on how to enter.

Subscribe/Follow my blog; and/or Like my Run Wifey Run Facebook page. You need to do at least one and leave me a comment letting me know so I can count you in. If you do both you’ve got two entries.

Good luck! You and your booty will love them.
