Miss what? A contest! Read on to find out more about this wonderful contest for schools/kids/teachers. If you have a child or know of a child/teacher involved in music/choir/etc- this should be of great interest to you and I hope you’ll pass this along to them or let your children take part.

Former American Idol finalist Danny Gokey has paired up with The Clorox Company to launch I Don’t Want to Miss…, a national campaign designed to get kids/teens/teachers involved in flu prevention. This is the 2nd year for this program. It features a contest that invites school musical groups/clubs/choirs/etc. to develop a video performance of a song written by Will Wells (a Berklee College of Music student) on what they don’t want to miss out on if they were home sick and why prevention is important. The winning school will win a music class led by Danny Gokey. In addition, for each entry submitted, The Clorox Company will donate $100 to the Sophia’s Heart Foundation (founded by Gokey in honor of his late wife, Sophia). It’s dedicated to helping children achieve academic success via musical training and restoring musical dreams in children. How awesome is that?

What a wonderful way to spread awareness and get involved in prevention. Be sure to visit the Clorox Facebook page for more about this creative and informational challenge. For a wonderful incentive, the first 100 groups to submit, the teacher will receive a wellness care package from The Clorox Company.

What would your kids not want to miss out on if they were home sick with the flu?? My son said he wouldn’t want to miss out on time with his friends, band, and eating good food because of something like the flu.

Disclosure: I wrote this while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Clorox. I received a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate

My buddy, Christopher, is having a PS3 giveaway over at his place. Check it out HERE if interested.

As electronic documents take over the world, it seems as though we should have significantly less paper to organize, collate, and file. Yet, many of us (ahem, me) are still buried under piles of paper. Even as we embrace our lives as tech-savvy folks, we still churn an enormous amount of paper while organizing. Well, I know I do. I dread all the papers the kids bring home now that school is back in session!

My desk space is now in style now, thanks to Carolina Pad and Paper. I rec’d a box packed full of goodies from them. Don’t you love getting packages in the mail?? I do!!!

I hope it helps me stay more organized. I’m loving that it all matches AND it’s cheerful and colorful.

Everything is from Simply Chic & Eye Candy, by Jacqueline McFee and recently launched (exclusively at Wal-Mart). Super cute items.

I wanted to let you know there is a contest for you. What I rec’d was just a “sampling”… can you imagine winning an entire office makeover?
