DST and a Super Giveaway!

So I kinda slept in this morning.  Gah. 

This means I missed a prime Monday morning cardio session that I will have to try to squeeze in later.  It also means I started work late so I probably can’t leave early to enjoy the beautiful blue skies.

Hmmmm…maybe I should stay off blogging and Twitter today? ha!

I blame Daylight Savings Time.  Due to the extra hour in the day yesterday my body completely disagreed with me when I tried to put it to bed at 11:30.  It thought it was only 10:30.  Silly body. 

Not entirely sure why it thought it should stay awake until well after 1am though.  I really wish it would listen to me! 

Oh well, I have coffee now…

And Squirrelly toast.  With PB and Crofter’s Superfood Spread.  I know you guys are probably sick of seeing this, but it’s such a yummy breakfast!

To thank you for putting up with several hundred pictures of PB&J toasts, I have a new giveaway for y’all!!

Those lovely people over at Crofter’s Organic are offering up THREE super-duper deeeelish prizes for my readers.  :)

Sample packs of all four of the Crofter’s Superfood Spreads I have been raving about.

  • Four Continents
  • Ten Superfruits
  • A World of Antioxidants
Superfruit Spreads composite

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How this plays out…  THREE PRIZES:

  • ONE set of coupons for purchase of equivalent products for an AMERICAN reader (can’t ship the samples cross-border).
  • ONE surprise bonus winner from either US or CANADA.

As always, it’s easy to enter. 

In order to enter to win this great prize you can:

  • Visit the Crofter’s website then leave a comment on THIS post telling me what Superfruit Spread you think you would most enjoy. Make sure you tell me if you are American or Canadian!!!
  • Tweet this: “A Super giveaway! Win @croftersorganic from @balanceblog: http://bit.ly/aptbqT”
  • Post a link to this contest on your blog, then come back and leave another comment here telling me about it.  (Make sure you include a link to your post.)
  • Do all three things for multiple chances to win!

Contest is open to Canadian and US residents.  I will use a random number generator to chose the winners on Friday, March 19th at 12pm Atlantic Standard Time.

Good luck everyone!  Tell all your friends!
