Subscribed to your emails! So glad I did because you disappeared from my wordpress reader feed recently!———————–
Update: I see some of you are leaving one comment saying what you like about summer, that you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and what not. You have to leave me a separate comment for each thing, and that way you will have more chances to win. If you leave me one comment telling me all these things it only counts as one entry. (The program chooses the winner randomly from all the comments. Hence the more comments you have, the more chances you have to win.) Love you all, and thanks for entering!
Today marks our one year blog-a-versary. I can’t believe it’s been a year!
This was my first post, all about the Princess.
And this was my first food post. I would say don’t look at the pictures, but it’s kind of funny! (Not that I’m good at taking food pictures, by any means, but, you know.)
Alright, onto the giveaway.
A while ago I bought a Ninja. The blender I had was going kaput. Every time I tried to make a smoothie, it would spit nasty old smoothie runoff from the bottom of the blender at me. I was at the point that if I wanted to make a smoothie, or a coffee frappe I had to wear an apron. Not good. So, I looked around online to see what we could afford, and what I could go out and buy pronto.
In comes the Ninja.
Best thing ever! Seriously. You throw in whatever you want blended (smoothie stuff, or coffee ice cubes with milk and chocolate, malt stuff, pretty much anything), and your stuff is blended immediately and with no fuss. Just writing about this makes me want to go make something. I really, really love it.
So, that’s what we’re giving away today, a Ninja Frozen Treat and Drink Maker.
How to Enter:

The Rules:
This giveaway opens Sunday, June 15th at 8 AM Central and will close Friday, July 20th at 9 PM Central. A winner will then be randomly chosen via the WordPress Widget “And The Winner Is.” Be sure a valid email address is included with your comment(s). The winner will be contacted via email, and has to respond within 48 hours, or a new winner will be chosen. The giveaway is open to U.S. residents only.
Disclaimer: I was not compensated at all for this giveway. Thank you!



My all time favorite thing about summer is the Rain! The wind blowing through your hair when you drive. The moments when you can forget all your cares. Lastly…people just seem to be nicer in the summertime!

Hi Jill. Just liked Reini Days on Facebook!
There are so many things I like about summertime – paddling a canoe, fireflies, going out for ice cream, more daylight, family get-togethers, and just enjoying the outdoors! This year, I went to my first drive-in movie, and that was a blast!
Hi Jill! My favorite thing about summer is being warm, free from coats, hats, gloves, and sweaters! Of course I also love going to the beach, sitting around the campfire with friends and family!:0)
The best thing about summer is the lack of snow, shovels, snowblowers, snow banks, snow flakes, etc. etc. Summer is delightful.

I was reflecting that one of my favorite things about summer, is evening swimming on a glassy still lake. I wish I took the opportunity to do it more. It’s so peaceful and serene swimming on a glassy lake at dusk.

I love the idea about this giveaway. I am in desperate need for a new blender so even if I don’t win, I may just try out the Ninja. I also have add, I LOVE reading this blog. You do a great job, it’s entertaining to read and very inspirational. How do you have time to cook all that food, wash those dishes, take care of the kids and house and still have your sanity? Great job.
