The holidays are quickly approaching and with that, things are about to a little craaazy. I have a Thanksgiving meal to plan, a kindergarten Christmas party to host, a house to decorate, a holiday gift guide to write and of course some holiday shopping for my own family to get done. I’ve got a feeling many of you can relate. (And if you do, make sure to read 5 Fool-Proof Ways to Beat Holiday Stress and Truly Enjoy the Season.) At the same time, I really don’t want to give up on the things that I usually do, like taking my girls for an after-school hike or spontaneously cook a meal outside just because we like to stand around the fire.
That’s why, in the midst of the build-up to this holiday madness, I’m doubling down on my commitment to get outside with my family every day. And I’ve got just the right incentive for you to join me – an Instagram contest with a giveaway that is nothing short of fantastic!
I’ve joined forces with a network of fellow outdoor family bloggers to round up over 30 awesome prizes from our very generous sponsors. This is my way of thanking you, my loyal readers and friends, for following along over the past year. I challenge you to take a break from whatever you’re doing and go outside with your family, snap some pictures and enter the giveaway. Who knows, you may even win a little holiday gift for yourself!
So without further ado, here are the instructions for how to enter to win the 3rd Annual #OutdoorFamilies Network #ThankfulForFamilies Instagram Photo Contest & Giveaway!
