First Giveaway

****** COMMENTS NOW CLOSED FOR GIVEAWAY.
WINNERS WILL BE ANNNOUNCED SHORTLY ******

I am so excited about my first giveaway on my blog. In the beginning of October, I signed up to be part of Mums United, an initiative by the Heart Foundation bringing Aussie Mums together to work towards a healthier Australia. Whilst the program is labelled Mums United, I also acknowledge Dads who play a key role in ensuring their families eat and live healthily. As parents, we always make an effort to plan and cook healthy and tasty meals, using fresh, unprocessed ingredients where possible. At times we slip up but we're OK with that. No one's perfect and with two of us working, sometimes it can be difficult. We try to make up for it on weekends.

With the warmer months coming, we are also making a concerted effort to get out and spend more time outdoors - choosing to walk instead of driving, taking the girls to ride their bicycles in the park, swimming at the local pool. I have also been trying to get in 30 minute power walks at least twice a week after work. I enjoy these walks as it helps to clear the mind after a long and stressful day at work. Sometimes Ashleigh comes along on her bike, and it's great bonding time for the two of us. Chris has been making regular visits to the gym and is looking fit and healthy. Our girls catch the train to school and walk from the station to school, which is a good start to the day. The warmer months also mean we're changing our diets; replacing the rich casseroles for lighter meals like salads.

Over to you now. The Soup team have given me two Coles Myer gift cards to give away to you, my awesome blog readers. Hands up who loves a gift card?
 
These gift cards are timely with the Christmas season a few weeks away. The Coles Myer gift cards offer many store options to spend the gift card. You can use it to fill up your fridge with healthy tasting goodies and treats for yourselves or friends and family OR use the funds to buy gifts. I have one gift card to the generous value of $200 and another for $150. Tempting?
