Oh my, could I use this! After doing the half marathon last weekend (in support of the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation) and preparing for the March for Babies this weekend, a little spa time would do the body good! And since I'm also looking to create some time off for my Mom, who handles childcare for me two days/week, a GC to Care.com would be fabulous! Thanks for running the contest, and good luck to everyone!

Since my two-year-old has been waking up 4x per night with nightmares for the past 3 months, my own tired peepers could use some pampering! Or maybe just a night out with my husband. Either way, this giveaway would be perfection.

Well, since I had just posted on FB my frustration about not having a few hours to myself since my son was born 6 months ago and longer since I had a Mani/pedi, imagine my surprise when I saw this contest. Hoping it is a good luck sign.
