Retrospect, Gratitude and a Restaurant.com Giveaway

22 December 2011 37 Comments


The Succulent Wife is celebrating its 5th year as a blog. As some of you know, we started as an online gift shop for women artists to share their stories and their work. Since then we have grown to share the stories and products of people, companies and corporations that we love and wish to support. We often get quite excited about the items and services that we write about and we hope that our passion transpires on our pages. We have been known to bring “it” to your first and are proud that we have our finger on the pulse on what is important to our readers.

As the Succulent Wife has matured, so have her writers, who have just come to terms with calling themselves Baby Boomers. Although we do not feel our age and have always felt that Baby Boomers were of the older generation, we have now embraced who we are, i.e. members of the most influential generation ever. Thus, The Succulent Wife is now, officially for B(l)oomers™ *.

To those who have seen us grow and to those who have just discovered us, we want to thank you for being part of our journey of succulent self-discovery.

We would like to offer to four of our readers a $25.00 Gift Certificate to Restaurant.com (if you do not know about Restaurant.com, just read what we wrote here).

To enter this giveaway, please subscribe to our blog (see the subscribe field in the right column) and then simply tell us – by leaving a comment below – what you enjoy about The Succulent Wife or what topic you would like us to focus on. The giveaway is open until January 12, 2012 at 11:59 am CT.

Usual giveaway rules are: One entry per person. The winner will be chosen at random using a random integer generator. Your information is confidential and used for this giveaway only. Multiple entries will be deleted. Winner who does not respond within 2 days of our announcement via email will be dismissed in favor of another winner. Restaurant.com certificates are valid in U.S.A only.

*see our description of our made-up but so appropriate B(l)oomers™ term.
