For the next several days I will be posting about the World Congress of Families. This year it is being held in Sydney, Australia.  Remember how we helped to raise funds for Angela to attend? She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.

$75 Shabby Apple Gift Card Giveaway!!

Today Shabby Apple, an online boutique of Women's Dresses,  would like to give one of my readers a $75 gift card!

I know many of you, like me, are busy mothers who need to wear dresses that give you full coverage without having to worry that you will flash someone while taking care of a little one. A great new feature Shabby Apple has added to their website is a length guide. Now you can know exactly how long a dress or skirt is before purchasing it! What would you put your $75 towards?

Here are my picks {remember I'm short, so these hit me at least 3 inches below the knee}:
The Pina Colada - hello sunshine yellow!

I LOVE the bright red of the Streetcar Skirt.
Tropical Sunshine makes me crave mangoes.
Can you tell I like to wear bright vibrant colors?


GIVEAWAY RULES:

1. You must like Shabby Apple on Facebook. You can do that easily through the Rafflecopter. This is a required entry.
2. For an additional entry leave a comment telling me what you would spend the $75 gift card on.
3. Open only to US residents. {sorry for my out of country readers!}

Shabby Apple is also offering my readers 10% off your purchase if you use the code chocolate10off. How's that for personalization? ☺  The code is good for the month of June.

Make sure you enter using the rafflecopter!

  37. i like the Pina Colada. however, I'm tall so it looks like most of these dresses will be too short for me. I like dresses that hit mid calf. I did see some long ones but they didn't have any structure around the stomach. I really wish they would add a little more length.

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?

Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.
