This giveaway is now closed! Thank you all for participating!
Today’s giveaway prizes have a day of rest in mind. As moms, it’s hard to find a moment to ourselves, much less a whole day! These gifts will help you find that quiet moment you need to recharge.
The first giveaway winner will receive a beautiful package of indulgent handcrafted bath and personal care items from Sharon Rowland at Lovin’ the Lather. Sharon personally designs and creates each item on her website, from soaps to lip balms to personal care products. She uses real ingredients you can feel good about using and putting on your children. Plus, they are gorgeous! I love the variety and creativity of her products.
Sharon is blessing one winner with a spa package including a Tea Rose and Vanilla Shea soap (pictured above), plus her handcrafted lip balm which comes in a variety of fun flavors!
Be sure to check out her website and Facebook page for an extra entry!
Next, my bloggy friend Laurie Wallin of Living Power Life Coaching is offering one winner this beautiful journal.
It has almost 200 pages for you to record your thoughts, ramblings, or doodles. Or, you can sign up for one of Laurie’s powerful online coaching classes and use it to record your growth!
If you haven’t met Laurie yet, she has a passion to help women discover their joy! When you visit her website, you can even download her free e-book, Embrace the Crazy: Practical Ideas for When Life Seems Impossible! Boy, we all have days like that, don’t we?
The final prize of the day comes from author Jessie Gunderson. She has been published in a devotional book humorously titled If I Can Do All Things Through Christ Why Can’t I Find My Car Keys? It includes a “year’s worth of weekly devotions to help women on-the-go find a moment to spend with God.” Anyone around here need that?
If you hop over to Jessie’s blog, you’ll soon see that one of the reasons I love her is because she has a heart for children. Also, her family wears great hats and takes funny pictures.
She and her family are sacrificially saving and raising money to adopt two children from Ethiopia. In fact, the proceeds of the book above don’t go to buying the Gunderson’s a new car or a the most fashionable new shoes. Nope. They’re using the money to redeem an African brother and sister out of a life of poverty. That just gets to my heart. I hope you’ll visit her and let her know you’ll be praying!
How to Enter
1) I like to keep giveaways simple. All you have to do to be entered for this giveaway is to comment below! That’s it! It would be fabulous if you also subscribed to my blog, followed me on Twitter, or liked my Facebook page, but I can’t make that a requirement because of Facebook policies (and it also complicates things and that sort of defeats the whole “simple” thing).
2) Now, I know some of you are over-achievers and want to do more to increase your chances of winning. Okay. Here you go: you may earn extra entries by visiting and commenting on our sponsors’ blogs, Facebook, or Twitter pages. Why not subscribe, like, or follow them while you’re there? Come back here and leave a separate comment to let me know you went a-visiting so I can enter your name twice.
3) Share any story from Five in Tow that has impacted you. You can even share the giveaway! Comment below (in a separate comment from any of the above) with the title of the post you shared and you’ll earn a third entry.
4) This giveaway will remain open for three days. I will draw two winners on February 5 at 4 pm PST and notify the winners. Prizes will be delivered by the sponsors within 4-6 weeks.
I would love to win any of these wonderful giveaways!

Laurie’s journal is beautiful! I journal a lot…mostly all those funny things my kids say, quirky things they do, notes just about special days we’ve had….and some of the worst days we’ve had (so I can read back and remind myself that both the “ups” AND the “downs” have always been there.
I love handmade products =D
I love Jessie and would love to win her devotional! That photo is priceless! I hope she has a framed copy up in her house somewhere.
Just looking at that picture of the soap brought thoughts of bubblebaths, soft skin, and locking the darn kids out of the bathroom for 30 minutes! LOL!
I LOVE handmade soap! And that is one awesome family picture! 🙂
