Just because I love all y\u00e2\u20ac\u2122all so much, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re having another giveaway here on An Island Mom!<\/p>\n

On this quest some call blogging (or as my spell check suggests: bogging, logging, flogging, clogging, or slogging), I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m starting to discover that I like to host giveaways. That way, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to win to win, you know?<\/p>\n

Wow, that last line sounded even more terrible than it did in my head, which was unexpected. Right now, you probably are thinking something along the lines of, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Christine, just stick to your areas of expertise: island life and embarrassing yourself in public.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

You are so right, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sorry to concede.<\/p>\n

So here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the deal. Recently, at a local gift shop, I found this oh-so-beachy beach bag, which made me think about summer and how much I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m longing for beach weather again after the Winter of Our Discontent. This made me think about how most people probably feel the same way (and some of you have a much, much greater right to your discontentment than I do), and then I thought, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I bet a lot of An Island Mom readers would love this bag to help them anticipate the weather to come.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

I think profound thoughts when I shop.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is especially true if the small people are with me (e.g., \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Do not<\/i> trip and knock that display over again<\/i> lest we be banished from a store I really like!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Exactly how long can an errand that should take five minutes actually take?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d).<\/p>\n

But I digress, so here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the scoop.<\/p>\n

I\"IMG_7257\"<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m giving away this oh-so-beachy beach bag by Mud Pie. The bag can fit several towels,<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7262\"<\/a>and has a small pouch inside for change, phones, etc.<\/p>\n
