A Vacation. And a Winner!, Honest Fare by Gabrielle Arnold

THIS is the look Maya gives me when I turn the corner to find her playing with two blueberries that she stole from me. Give me a break with the cuteness.

Anyway, there’s nothing like quitting your job and taking off for a 2-week vacation. Poor me, right? Well, if it makes you hate me any less, I am currently going on 6 hours of sitting at the Orlando International airport because I missed my flight due to no fault of my own.

In the meantime and to keep my face from falling off, I just wanted to drop a note to let you all know the blogging will be slow for the next couple weeks as I give things a rest and soak up some family and friend time in New York. I’m sure I’ll have plenty to share from the trip upon my return.

ALSO, I need to announce the winner of last week’s Baby Baggu giveaway. That would be Sabine of Melbourne, Australia. She seems sweet…but that’s not why I chose her. Every email and comment was assigned a number and then I had a friend pick one random number. I promised myself I would not be strategic or favor anyone based on their response ;) So congrats, Sabine!

And a big THANK YOU to everyone else who participated! I must say, I was so very touched to hear your stories (no matter how long or short). I was constantly running to the computer to read the next one! This giveaway was a great chance for me to get to know you guys better and feel connected. It was also really interesting to learn how varied our jobs and routines are.

I appreciate all the support and kind words about my leaving my job. It’s certainly helpful to hear some positive feedback and the stories of all of you out there who have done the same.

Talk soon, gabi.
