This week we have a regional giveaway, but it’s a fun excuse to get away for the weekend. Southern Living is hosting an event where you can visit acclaimed editors and experts for live food demos and learn some new holiday entertaining and fall decorating tips. If you live in the Charleston area or you can get away for a little weekend vacation, you should consider this fall-filled event.
The Southern Living Taste of Charleston will be held October 8th and 9th at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, SC. The two-day festival, open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., will showcase Southern Living editors and experts demonstrating the season’s best recipes, holiday entertaining ideas, and fall decorating tips guaranteed to wow your guests. Visitors will enjoy Low Country cuisine from 40 of Charleston’s top restaurants, live music, dance lessons, interactive games and more.
If you want to go ahead and order tickets, visit the Southern Living Taste of Charleston website. Unless you feel like going to the same festival two days in a row, there is no need to purchase a ticket for both days. The lineup is exactly the same for Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the gate and food and beverage tickets can be purchased inside the gate. Proceeds for this event will go to support local charities.
On a personal note, I’m sad that I can’t go so anyone that can go needs to look up my sweet friend Christy who is one of the presenters and give her a hug from me.
The Giveaway:
Courtesy of Time Inc. (the publisher of Southern Living Magazine), two winners will reach get 2 tickets to attend the Southern Living Taste of Charleston on the day of their choice.

I’m excited to share with you the launch of a new deals site just for handmade goods! From the masterminds behind the awesome deals at Tanga.com comes Belle Chic.
You’ll have to register to see their daily deals (it’s free of course) and then you get access to some deep discounts on adorable handmade things. From leg warmers to baking products, you will find all sorts of deals. The catch, there is only one deal a day. They are great though and give you sneak peeks at the deals starting in the next few days.
BelleChic’s goal is to sort through the endless amount of designers and bring you the best quality items with sales up to 75% off.
Remember, all these are daily deals that are all while supplies last.

If there were any title that I feel should be on my resume, “Master Peanut Butter & Jelly Maker” is definitely one of them. My youngest child cheers every time she hears that “peanutjelly” sandwiches are on the menu! My older girls though cringe, they have had enough in their short 6 years already. So we have started getting creative.
Recent sandwich creations in our house:
Peanut Butter & Peaches
Peanut Butter & Honey
Peanut Butter & Raisins
And the all time classic: Peanut Butter & Bananas
With all our creative genius, we just learned that right now kids ages 6 to 12 (with parents help) can submit their creative sandwich recipes for a chance to win a $25,000 college fund!!
This is actually the 10th anniversary of the contest, so they’re throwing in an additional $10,000 for education funds to the winner. If you aren’t creative, there is a separate contest for peanut butter fans across America to enter the That’s Why I Choose Jif Essay Contest. Winners of the essay contest, get to be the judges on the panel for the most creative sandwich! You get to fly to NYC for the final event in New York, where five kid chefs will contend for the grand prize.
I know most of you could really use $25,000 towards college, so help your little one submit their creative peanut butter recipe on Jif’s website or complete the downloadable entry form available on the website. You can also check out the official rules on the contest website.
You have another chance to win something right now! Win an awesome prize pack!!
