Escape Adulthood

Dog Days of Summer Giveaway

- - - | written by on | - - -

I decided it would be fun to participate in the Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway dreamed up by Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer. Between this and the free ice cream promotion, it appears that I have lost all sense of what it means to run a profitable business…but what the heck.

So here’s the deal: We’re giving away a Tea Time for Mom Gift Set, valued at $55. First, a little bit about the prize:

Everything Mom needs to make tea-time a much deserved me-time with this lovely basket featuring a 5×7 version of our popular “Mother” Print in a black frame. A variety of fine teas complimented by chocolates and tea cookies are great to enjoy while reading “Escape Adulthood: 8 Secrets from Childhood for the Stressed-Out Grown-Up.” We’ve included an 11 oz. Kim & Jason mug to complete this delightful gift box.

We only have one left in stock, so here’s how you can make it yours…

  1. Leave a comment on this post, sharing a way that you escaped adulthood recently.
  2. I’ll pick a winner from the list of comments on Friday, July 27th. Deadline for entries is 5:00 pm CST on that day.
  3. You don’t need to leave your home address. I’ll contact the winner by e-mail to get that info (and I won’t share it with anyone.)

Anybody living in the continental U.S. can win — you don’t need to be a blogger (or a mom, for that matter). Just leave your comment with an example of how you escaped adulthood recently and you’re eligible to win!

UPDATE: The winner of the Tea Time for Mom gift set is Libby. Here’s what she said:

Sunday afternoon at our friends’ 40th birthday party, me, my husband, my 3-year old and our friend’s daughter enjoyed their huge air-filled water slide to cool off. You know, those “very tall” things with water shooting from everywhere that are like $400 at Wal-mart? My friends were all worried it was too dirty for us to use. (Hardly–they have a bit of adultitis by the way) It was a blast. My husband had to borrow trunks even. The rest of the adults sat inside out of the sun. Great memory for us as a family.

Congrats, Libby! Thanks to everyone who played! Check out other cool gifts for the young at heart at the Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand!

  5. Could we make that a Tea Time for GRANDMA Gift Set?!!

    I keep two of my grandchildren a lot. About six weeks ago, I was escaping adulthood by playing “Catch me Grandma” with them and fell and cracked two ribs and tore ligaments in my pinkie!
