Guys….today is a very special day.
Remember when I reviewed the book How to Love an American Man on the blog last November? I LOVED that book and have actually re-read it twice since. Since then, the lovely author, Kristine Gasbarre, and I have formed a sweet and wonderful friendship. If you’ve read her book, let me assure you that Krissy is just as sweet and genuine as she comes off on the page. She was even kind enough to read an advanced copy of my own book and write a blurb for the back cover!
So, about a week ago, Krissy contacted me with a fun and unique idea. She asked me if I would be interested in hosting a giveaway for her! She had the thoughtful idea of giving away two Barnes and Noble Simple Touch Glow Nooks already pre-loaded with her book, How to Love an American Man, for Mother’s Day. How fun is that?!
The winner of this giveaway will receive two Nook eReaders—-one for you to keep and one to give to your mom, grandma, aunt, sister or whoever you choose to celebrate Mother’s Day with.
Winner will be chosen at random Friday night at 10pm PST. To enter, just leave a comment on this post telling me how your day is going! I’m still home sick but looking forward to being cheered up by reading all your comments!

May 2, 2012 at 3:14 amUp early to pump some milk for my daughter (TMI?!), ’bout to go catch some more sleep before she wakes up…one training session at the gym, then I get to spend the entire day with her. I’d say I’m set up for a great day! Thanks for the opportunity!

Ellie B
May 2, 2012 at 3:54 amWell, it’s almost 7:00 am here in Florida and things are ok so far… I’m in grad school, and my last two papers of the semester are due today and tomorrow, so I’m a little stressed, but it’s going to be warm and sunny today, and that always makes me feel better during hectic, crazy times.

Sara
May 2, 2012 at 4:19 amI’m already up for work. But the good news is the baby who isn’t really a baby anymore, she’s almost 2, slept through the night as opposed to yesterday when she thought it was a great idea to work on her animal noises at 4 in the morning.
Molly
May 2, 2012 at 4:19 amMy morning is going well. The sunny is shining and I am excited my mom is coming to visit tomorrow. It will be my first Mother’s Day as a mom and she will also be here. 🙂

May 2, 2012 at 4:54 amIn spite of the pouring rain outside, I’m having a great day so far. Woke up early…4am…that happens sometimes. But I got right to work on blogging and doing some preliminary updating for some blog changes. I’m reading lots of blogs and leaving lots of comments. It would be great to win the two Nooks and if I did, I’d share it with my sister, Ele. Our Mom is gone and she lost her daughter to cancer 5 years ago. We always spend Mother’s Day together. Thanks for the chance to enter the giveaway. Have a great day!

AJ
May 2, 2012 at 5:00 amMy usual morning routine (the only relaxing part of my day). Breakfast (this morning I randomly wanted eggs instead of my usual oatmeal), email & blog reading. Then dragging myself away from the breakfast table to officially start my Wednesday.
Alley

Alex

Quixotic Magpie
May 2, 2012 at 5:03 amMy day is going to be long and tiring, but it will be well worth it! I am running our school book fair this week, and tonight is our Family Night Event. I have a 12 hour day ahead of me surrounded by kids ten and under, but their excitment over reading is well worth the long hours I will put it in this week.
My mom is a huge reader too, and her love of books inspired my own love of books, which has led to my current job as an elementary school library worker.

Maybe it’s that I’ve been sticking to my workout schedule as planned….or maybe it was your carmelized brussel sprouts we had last night with dinner. Either way it’s a great day! Hope you feel better!
Jessica F
May 2, 2012 at 5:59 amWow! This is awesome! My day is going alright, but I’m excited to be flying home tonight… I’ve been on the road for work for 10 days so I am a little sick of hotels. A nook would be a perfect companion for traveling 🙂

Jenny
May 2, 2012 at 6:15 amI’m with you completely on the homesickness. I’ve been missing my family like crazy. But other than that, it’s been a wonderful start to my day: coffee, a walk and waffles. Can’t ask for more than that!

Your blog continues to inspire me!
PaigeP
May 2, 2012 at 6:20 amSo far, I am having a great day. I teach 8th grade, and my students are really enjoying a book that we are reading in class (The Ghost Belonged To Me).

NJMOM

Jessica

Carrie
May 2, 2012 at 6:22 amMy day was going wonderfully for a while. Despite the high humidity my curly hair dried well and i was actually running 15 minutes early! Then i hit road construction and they had put a stop sign at a huge intersection which turned into a game of “quien es mas macho?”.
Dani
May 2, 2012 at 6:22 amMy day is going GREAT! One week agoyesterday I lost a very close family member and was distraught. The day after my loss my husband was hospitalized. I felt like things couldn’t be worse. Yesterday my husband was discharged. I have my husband and three sons all under one roof again and I feel blessed….even on this rainy Wednesday. Family makes my world go ’round ;0)

I am getting my picture taken to go on the soccer roster today, I’m going to work at the praline shop, and then hopefully going on my 5 mile jog around the Battery (hoping I have the energy after I get off work). I just read that waking up to green tea helps to boost immunity and so do mushrooms in your salad!
Sarah@sarahssweetlips
May 2, 2012 at 6:22 amMy day is okay so far. I’ve been going through a rough few weeks (my bf and I broke up and I’m trying to find a new place to stay and will basically be starting a new life), but I’ve found that being positive and appreciating the little things in my life that I love so much make everything better. I am a lucky girl.
Kristine Gasbarre
May 2, 2012 at 7:44 amSarah, I’m saying a prayer for you and wishing you healing and comfort. God knows what’s ahead for you, and He never steers us wrong when we open ourselves to his will. “We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us.” -E.M.

May 2, 2012 at 6:39 amMy day is looking long. Babysitting 4 of my nieces and nephew…with my 2 kids in tow, for 9 more days. 3 of them under 3. Needless to say, we’ve been up since 5 but at least we’ve had some pretty good laughs so far and some good breakfast too.
jillian
May 2, 2012 at 6:39 amMy day is okay — I’m editing for our book that is DUE to our publisher in 13 days. EEK!
Hannah Rankin
May 2, 2012 at 6:39 amDay will be great! Last Wednesday of my undergraduate career at Marquette University…bittersweet, but enjoying every last second.
Melanie
May 2, 2012 at 6:39 amI woke up this morning to rainbows all over the ceiling in my bedroom, the sun hit the crystals in my light-shade at the perfect spot, it was a beautiful way to start the day!
Emily
May 2, 2012 at 6:40 amI’m having the best day! I’ve been given much more responsibility at work and was able to snatch up an adorable dress during my lunch break. I hope the rest of the week continues this way!
Emily
May 2, 2012 at 6:40 amHad a great workout with my husband before work and enjoying this gorgeous weather! Never heard of that book…makes me excited to add it to my list!
Anna
May 2, 2012 at 6:40 amI am sitting in the sun drinking coffee, one part french vanilla starbucks, one part french roast – yummy! Couldn’t be a better way to start the day.
Marissa
May 2, 2012 at 6:40 amMy day has been busy so far! Hope you are feeling better soon!
Analise
May 2, 2012 at 6:41 amIts finals week here in VA…trying to finish a lit review and study for 3 exams!! Would love to start reading this book instead =)
Caitlin
May 2, 2012 at 6:41 amHi! My day is going well, busy at work and taking a break reading great blogs like yours- I just added “how to love an American man” to my goodreads. Hope you are feeling better! counting down to the weekend!
Carrie Julius
May 2, 2012 at 6:41 amMy day is going great so far. Early run, 5 year old at school, 1 year old napping and now I am reading blogs. Just a nice normal day.
Amanda
May 2, 2012 at 6:41 amToday (this whole week) is pretty awful, but I get to see my mom this weekend!
Samantha
May 2, 2012 at 6:41 amThe weather is all gloom and doom outside, so I’m catching up on a good book.
Amanda
May 2, 2012 at 6:41 amI am very tired today!
Line
May 2, 2012 at 6:42 amIt’s a cloudy day here in Québec – The usual rush to get the daughters out the door in time for school and daycare.
Patty
May 2, 2012 at 6:42 amIn the middle of finals for graduate school, 3 to go! Super stressful but its almost summer! reading recipes on your blog helps me to stop gravitating between coffee and whatever I can find in my fridge during my study breaks and try something new! Hope your day gets better!
Stacia
May 2, 2012 at 6:42 amI just started weight watchers today. I’ll let you be the judge. 🙂
Minerva
May 2, 2012 at 6:42 amMy hump-day is off to a great start! I read How to Love an American Man once before, but I think it will be added to my summer rereads. Thanks!
Amy
May 2, 2012 at 6:43 amWell, I spilled my coffee all over my coworker already this morning. BUT I get to visit my best friend’s sweet newborn baby boy tonight, so the day can only get better! Thanks for hosting this!
Emma soon-to-be-Mrs.
May 2, 2012 at 6:43 amHi Jenna! First of all, I love your blog so much, and I read it daily! You are truly an inspiration to me on how to live your life balancing healthy eating, a little naughty fun, and happiness. My day will start off getting my flat tire changed, then heading to the gym for a morning session. Then I’m taking a leaf out of your naughty fun book and making margaritas to sip by the pool with friends all the day long!
Jess
May 2, 2012 at 6:44 amJust another rainy/misty day in Boston 😀 Hoping to get some work done and then hit the gym!
Lili
May 2, 2012 at 6:44 amOh my mum would love this, but i’d have to borrow it too read that book!
Kimberly
May 2, 2012 at 6:44 amWhat a wonderful giveaway from Krissy! I would love to give my Mom an e-reader and win one too. I got my love of reading from her. Can’t complain today as I’m at work as usual and glad to have a job. Feel better soon.
Abby @ThisLifeAbundant
May 2, 2012 at 6:44 amToday is a restful day off for me from subbing for highschool and jr high! Ready to cook, sip lots of coffee, and go on a run. 🙂

Mindy Bishop
May 2, 2012 at 6:46 amDay is great so far. I’m ignoring the humidity and refuse to let it get me down. Got ready for work, had a snuggle with my new puppy, and now off to a great start! Hope you feel better soon, Jenna!
Jen C
May 2, 2012 at 6:47 amJust starting my day but its going to be a busy one with wedding errands!
Adriana
May 2, 2012 at 6:47 amMy day has been okay thus far. It’s rainy and cold in NYC so I’d much rather be home snuggled in my comforter with my book than at my desk right now. BUT I’m sporting a new haircut so that brings some excitement into my life (it really is the little things!)
Susannah
May 2, 2012 at 6:47 amDespite the gloomy weather here in Boston, my day’s off to a sunny start. Running into familiar faces at my morning coffee shop always helps!
kelsey
May 2, 2012 at 6:47 ammy day is going well. i need to be cleaning out my bedroom of junk, as we are about to move, but instead i am catching up on all my food blogs! and i too love that book! Since you are friends with her, ask her if she ended up with him or not! 😀

Amanda Wagner

May 2, 2012 at 6:47 amI am looking forward to having a productive day – and am wearing a brand spankin new skirt and pair of heels! With a cup of my favorite tea, today is shaping up nicely.
Caroline
May 2, 2012 at 6:48 amMy day is pretty dull so far, since I am at work (shh don’t tell). I look forward to getting out of work hitting the gym. Feel better Jenna!

beth
May 2, 2012 at 6:49 amYesterday was plain awful, as the song from Annie goes (don’t ask me why that’s in my head). So I am grateful it’s another day and I’ve just had a huge hug in a bowl (aka oatmeal with greek yogurt and applesauce — I know; I’m weird.)
Katrina
May 2, 2012 at 6:49 amIt’s rainy and cold in SoCal but I have to get going to school- it’s my last week of my first year of vet school! I’d love this gift for my mom- I’d give them both to my parents who have supported me through a long and tough first year.
feel better!
Lindsey P.
May 2, 2012 at 6:49 amSo far my day is going well. I got a deliverable out for work in rapid time, which afforded me a few minutes to catch up on your blog 🙂 Also, I’m moving from Baltimore to Washington, DC in 3 days and I can’t wait!

Karen

Amy C
May 2, 2012 at 6:54 amWorking all day but it’s okay because during slow times I have a chance to read… right now I’m reading “The Lost Wife.” Thanks for the suggestion!
Allison @ Running Through Red Lights
May 2, 2012 at 6:54 amHoping today will be productive! Wednesdays usually allow me the most time to complete tasks for work and I get home early enough to fit in a run before dinner!
Michelle O.
May 2, 2012 at 6:55 amKristine is so nice. She actually took the time to tweet me back when I commented on how much I enjoyed her book (that I read after you recommended!) This would be the perfect mothers day gift. My mom has been hinting at wanting one for a long time now. She would just LOVE IT. Hope you feel better — Michelle
Kate

Megan Cecil

christina
May 2, 2012 at 6:57 amHoly crud, talk about an awesome giveaway. My day will consist of: sipping lots of coffee, working outside in this glorious weather, going to my favorite Pure Barre class, making dinner, and then READING! I’d love an e-reader to take to bed each night. Who needs a boyfriend? Ha.
Lourdes
May 2, 2012 at 6:57 amoff to a slow start…I feel like crawling back in bed!
chelsea

Kate
May 2, 2012 at 6:57 amGray and rainy, a perfect day to stay in bed. Alas, I’ll be fighting frizz while traveling between meetings all day.
Alexa Hoffman
May 2, 2012 at 6:58 amThis morning, I’ve buried myself in notes to study for my upcoming finals! I hope the stress doesn’t get to me, and I can finish out the year well.
Sarah
May 2, 2012 at 6:58 amSuch a cute idea! Today I’m back to work after a lovely surprise day off. Rested and ready to hit the ground running!
Jamie
May 2, 2012 at 6:58 amHi Jenna–I hope you are feeling better! I started my day with a great boot camp session 🙂 It’s really cloudy and gross here today so I don’t mind being at work, but I’m hoping for some sunshine soon!
Elizabeth @ The Dapper Paper Co.
May 2, 2012 at 6:58 amwow, what a nice give away!

SD
May 2, 2012 at 6:58 amMy day has been great so far. 🙂 A little chocolate in the morning makes everything better. Maybe I should eat Nutella every morning!

Aimee
May 2, 2012 at 7:00 amI hope you feel better Jenna. My day is going great despite the doom and gloom lurking outside. My day technically began last night around 10pm when I woke up for work. It was a great night since most of the patients slept! I brought my little guy to preschool and I just finished a fantastic workout. Now it’s time to shower and pick the little guy up. How quickly these morning go!!
Jenna
May 2, 2012 at 7:00 amMy day is going well. Got a workout in and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Now catching up on blog before I start work. Great giveaway!

Cassie C
May 2, 2012 at 7:01 amMy three sons are not getting along and my toddler just bit my three year old and we’re out of milk! So I am looking forward to this day taking a turn for the better! Heading out to garden in a bit, so hopefully that will do the trick!
Tracy VdR
May 2, 2012 at 7:01 amMy day is going great so far! I’m planning my garden and listening to the birds. Very fun and relaxing! Feel better!
Chelsea Lassen
May 2, 2012 at 7:01 amHello!
Well, right now I am doing my daily blog-surfing before settling into a long long day of final exam-prep. I’m 9 days away from graduating from law school! So close yet so far away.
This would be a lovely Mother’s Day gift and I’d sure enjoy one, too. Thanks for the giveaway! Fingers crossed.
Gratefully,

Amanda
May 2, 2012 at 7:06 amWednesday is my favorite day! I don’t have to work which means I could sleep in…but I normally get up and spend some time just chillin’ before my classes. It’s also my grocery shopping day, so I spend the day drooling over what I’m getting at the store! 😉
Feel better Jenna!
Kim @ girlevolving
May 2, 2012 at 7:06 amMy day has been great. I’m in sunny, warm TN with my parents and my husband and son!
Rachel
May 2, 2012 at 7:06 amThis giveaway is fantastic! Thanks Jenna and Krissy. I had the hardest time getting out of bed this morning but since then I’ve been fairly productive. Hopefully the beautiful weather will stick around long enough for me to get outside this afternoon. Feel better Jenna!
jeanette

Feel better soon.
Cate
May 2, 2012 at 7:08 amI’m on day two of being home sick from work, but i’ve been able to catch up on the major backlog of shows on DVR and the pile of books on my bedside table. (silver lining) If you need a recommendation, I’m really into “These Girls” by Sarah Pekkanen. It’s been hard to put down!! It’s an easy, chick-lit read. Great if you’ve got a beach trip coming up!
Sharon
May 2, 2012 at 7:08 amMy day has started great…I love to start the day with sunshine!
As always love your book recommendations. Can’t wait to read it!

Bethany
May 2, 2012 at 7:10 amI’m home sick today 🙁 so lots of tea and rest is in store for today. But this post gave me the idea my mom would probably LOVE an e-reader! How come I didn’t think of that?!
Kristen L.
May 2, 2012 at 7:10 amGreat day with my little girls! Love them!
paulina
May 2, 2012 at 7:11 ammy day is going not so good (job hunting) but looking up with an afternoon walk in the park with the sunshine!
Hannah
May 2, 2012 at 7:11 amI literally just woke up, so my day is fantastic so far! Besides, later I get to bake and spend time outside in this gorgeous weather.
Suzanne
May 2, 2012 at 7:11 amCoffee in hand, and an amazing food blog to read…I would say my day is awesome!
Erin
May 2, 2012 at 7:11 amI’m doing okay. Missing my mom though–it is her birthday today.

Dee
May 2, 2012 at 7:12 amWhat a great giveaway! I’m having an ok day which would be much better if it would just stop raining. Feel better Jenna!
Katie
May 2, 2012 at 7:12 amHey Jenna! My day is going pretty well so far! I completed a work out and drank a smoothie before work 🙂 quite a feat for a girl who loves her sleep. I am crossing my fingers hard on this one. My birthday always falls the day or two around mother’s day and i won’t be home to celebrate with my mom this year. It’s one of those things where you know it will be fine, but it doesn’t stop the tears from welling up a little when you realize it. Anyway my mom and I love to read so this would be a great gift for her!
Jamie
May 2, 2012 at 7:12 amIt is a rainy day here in Philadelphia, but we are celebrating a coworker’s birthday with tasty treats. I made a cheese and cracker plate!
jenna k
May 2, 2012 at 7:13 ammy day is going really well! i actually made soft-boiled eggs for breakfast- which is the third time i’ve made them since you posted the how-to. 🙂 i’m feeling strangely upbeat today, but i’ll take it! 🙂
Charlotte Marie
May 2, 2012 at 7:13 amHi Jenna! Sorry you’re not feeling well – I hope you feel better soon! That book looks great – I can’t wait to read it sometime! Hopefully you’re reading something good today to feel better. 🙂 I’m at work and am excited to go to yoga later today!

Sasha Lotze
May 2, 2012 at 7:15 amGreat start to the day! Out admiring my garden…broccoli, squash, 4 different kinds of tomatoes, jalapenos, basil, onions, okra, cucumber. Love to cook with fresh vegetables!

katherine w.
May 2, 2012 at 7:18 amThis is quite the giveaway. Exams are in full swing and I’m cramming my brain full of environmental health information. But the sun is out and the coffee is strong, so all’s well!
Rebekka
May 2, 2012 at 7:19 amIt’s raining here but the secret space heater under my desk is keeping me warm!
Karen
May 2, 2012 at 7:19 amGood day so far! I’m a teacher, and my kids have huge projects due today, which means piles of grading for me. But it’s a fun project to grade–freshmen autobiographies.
Shelley
May 2, 2012 at 7:19 amUp early and full of energy. It a rainy, dreary day yesteday up in New England yesterday, but the sun is trying to poke out right now, so hopefully we get a bit of sunshine this afternoon!
Lindsey Canaley
May 2, 2012 at 7:19 amI LOVED How to Love an American Man! I gave a copy to my sister and BF for Christmas. Seriously think its a must read for women (single or not)!

Amanda
May 2, 2012 at 7:20 amI would love to win the Nook. I love reading but sometimes I do not get a chance to go the the bookstore with my busy schedule. This would be awesome!
Erin
May 2, 2012 at 7:21 amRead about sweet baby Avery at http://www.averycan.blogspot.com this morning. It has inspired me to forget my stress and just focus on being grateful.
Cait
May 2, 2012 at 7:22 amWhat a great giveaway! That is so cool that you have formed a relationship with the author. My mom and I are in the middle of planning my wedding and it would be great to be able to give something back to her!
Nicole
May 2, 2012 at 7:22 amI’d love to be able to give a reader to my mom for mother’s day!
My day is going great so far – I woke up before my alarm, giving me time to make one of Ashley’s French toast buckwheat bakes.
Allison
May 2, 2012 at 7:22 amI’m about to go volunteer at a Strawberry Festival (which = free strawberries!), so I’d say my day is looking pretty sweet (no pun intended) 🙂
Danielle
May 2, 2012 at 7:22 amI did an early morning workout and feel energized! Today will be a good, productive day 🙂
Megan @laughlovefood
May 2, 2012 at 7:23 amI’m strangely tired… I blame it on waking up late after staying up to read way past my bedtime!
Jenny
May 2, 2012 at 7:23 amAwesome giveaway! My day is going amazing…I took my last final exam of my college career today! Will be graduating on Saturday 🙂 YAHOO! Hope you feel better!

May 2, 2012 at 7:25 amSorry to hear that you’re still feeling sick! I made your pho a while back, and it definitely comforted me. My day has been great so far, I can’t complain. It’s 80 and sunny in Cincinnati, and my boyfriend leaves for Tampa today for an interview. Fingers crossed for an even warmer location on the horizon 🙂
Stephanie @ Live Cook Love
May 2, 2012 at 7:25 amThis is a really cool giveaway! So far, my day is going alright, work is keeping me busy!
Kristen
May 2, 2012 at 7:25 amMy day is great, enjoying coffee on my patio while I peruse the internet. Jenna, I love your blog! I also love to read and “How to Love an American Man” was awesome! I read a lot of your recommendations. Just finished “Violets of March”, excellent. You are an inspiration because I also have a passion for food and my dream is to one day own my own little European style cafe. If you have not read “Paris, My Sweet” then I highly recommend you do. Ok, that is all. Have a good day and hope you feel better.
Sharon
May 2, 2012 at 7:26 amAnother busy day at the office and at home chasing around my little girl. I certainly can’t complain!
This is such a great giveaway!

May 2, 2012 at 7:26 amMy day is going alright. Tired, but thankful for a good morning run this morning, my roommate finally being back in town after being gone for 2 weeks, and being at a job with co-workers I like. This is such an awesome giveaway! Thanks!

May 2, 2012 at 7:27 amI was sick yesterday and feeling better today, so it’s looking up!
Valerie
May 2, 2012 at 7:27 amSo far my day is off to a rocky start! Rain this morning meant no one apparently remembered how to drive, so my commute to work was a bit of a nightmare. Hopefully it turns around soon!
Sara
May 2, 2012 at 7:27 amJust bought a new car so the day is starting off great!
Ali @ Around the VeggieTable
May 2, 2012 at 7:27 amI feel swamped today! I just got back to work after two weeks off (wedding and honeymoon! whoop whoop!) and now there are a MILLION things piled around me. It looks like I’m building a fort up in here. Can’t wait til lunchtime lol
kenleigh
May 2, 2012 at 7:28 amOk, skipped my morning run because it was raining so having a little trouble getting going, but overall, a good day so far!

Pam K.
May 2, 2012 at 7:29 amOff to a pretty good start. It’s just about lunch time here in Prince Edward Island, Canada and I am on my way to pick up my sweet daughter at pre-school. The baby is napping with Daddy here working from home today. Now if only the sun was out and it was a bit warmer all would be well!
Hope you feel better soon. I love your blog and your recipes!
Casey
May 2, 2012 at 7:29 amWonderful morning with coffee and emails. The rest of my day will be spent with two sweet little girls, 4 and 2 years old. We will probably go to a public playground, have a pizza date for lunch and then head home for books, playdough and trampoline time. This evening I have a cocktail party with close friends. Life is so sweet!
Kelly
May 2, 2012 at 7:30 amBest. Giveaway. Ever!!!!! My day is going okay, I got up and ran in the rain at 5am this morning, before getting the kids up and off to school and myself off to work. Its going to be a rainy week here in Maine – how sweet would it be to win a Nook and lay on the couch all weekend reading!!! 🙂
Sarah
May 2, 2012 at 7:30 amMy day has been good! It started off with a great workout, which helps!
Nora
May 2, 2012 at 7:31 amI’m finishing the last paper for my MSW today! Planning on celebrating this evening with a good cocktail and a good book, and I am so. excited.
Kristen
May 2, 2012 at 7:31 amMy day is going lovely despite the rain outside. I work from home, so I get to stay in my pj’s and drink coffee instead of venturing out 🙂
I actually read this book back in January and LOVED it. It is very similar to my current situation (the moving home, bad breakup, trying to get my life on track in my mid-late 20’s). We even both are called Kris by family members and have Italian-American families. I really connected with her story and have recommended it to other friends. This is a great giveaway!
Nic G

My day is going great so far. I got some playtime in with my baby before he conked out for his morning nap. Now I’m going to sit down and enjoy a bowl of oatmeal and read. The day would be perfect if I didn’t have an appointment at the DMV later this afternoon. Blech.

Brittany
May 2, 2012 at 7:44 amMy day has started off a little hectic as I overslept an hour but still managed to shower and make it to work on time so I guess the extra sleep was a good thing! I’m also on day two of a fast that’s started off well so I’m feeling pretty good about today 🙂
Thank you for the giveaway!
Amy L.
May 2, 2012 at 7:44 amThe sun is shining and the birds are singing…I’d say my day is going pretty good so far!:)
krissy
May 2, 2012 at 7:44 amThis book was great-I downloaded it when you posted about it months ago! It’s rainy in Philadelphia (can’t always be sunny, eh?) but that just means a big, hot pot of soup for dinner-any vegetarian or seafoody suggestions? Hope you’re feeling better-a hot shower and some kitty snuggles do wonders.
Anna J.
May 2, 2012 at 7:45 amI’m 9 days away from finishing my first year in law school, and reading your blog gives me a little reprieve from studying for my finals. I appreciate that!!

May 2, 2012 at 7:49 amMy day’s OK so far. I slept though what was supposed to be a 3-mile run this morning, but I was on time to work and have already knocked out a couple of to-do items. So things are looking up! I hope everyone has a great day!

Courtney C.
May 2, 2012 at 7:50 amMy day has been busy – I’ve been up since 6 a.m., lured my little brother (he slept over last night and is turning 12 tomorrow) with a homemade breakfast burrito with onion, turkey sausage, eggs, cheese, and a tortilla. Then we went for a lovely walk around the lake nearby where we saw geese with little babies! After that, it was time to get ready for the day, drive him to school with literally 3 minutes to spare before he would’ve been late to class, and onto work.
So far, so good. Now all that’s left is to work the rest of the day and visit my mom who is recovering from appendicitis. *whew*
TK

Jennifer
May 2, 2012 at 7:52 amMy day started off with me in the dumpster searching for my house key that I threw out on my way to my morning run. It ended well–found the key, got in a run, and learned a bit of information, I prefer not knowing, about my neighbors 🙂 Feel better!

May 2, 2012 at 8:00 amMy day is just starting, but I’m looking for ward to four days off (I’m giving myself a little break this week). Beautiful weather, which is always a plus in the Spring!
Ashley
May 2, 2012 at 8:00 amMy day has got off to a fantastic start! It’s such a small world ~ my mom was handling some business at work and it turns out, she was on the phone with a former spinning instructor of mine! He asked if she knew me and said he was thinking about me and was willing to sneak me back into the club for a class. That definitely brought a smile to my face 🙂
Maureen
May 2, 2012 at 8:00 amit is busy. As I am a caretaker for my parents.
I have a little bit of time where I will take some time for myself and do a yoga class.
Therese
May 2, 2012 at 8:01 amI just realized that, despite being a long-time reader, I’ve never left you a comment! I love your blog and have made so many of your recipes – one of my favorites is your Mediterranean Quinoa salad :-). So anyway, since I’ve never left some love before, I’ll say now thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creations! They’ve helped me expand my tastes and try new things! (also your photography never ceases to make me drool). One of these days I’m gonna invest in a cedar plank and grill some salmon, since you’ve been raving about that forever…haha
Anyway, the past few days have been cold and dreary out here on the East coast but the sun just peeked out so my day is already looking better! I hope the weather out West is nicer, and I hope you feel better soon!
P.S. Being a poor grad student, I’d love to win a nook for my Mom this year… but if I do somehow end up being the lucky winner, I only need one! Give the other one to someone else’s mom 🙂
Kristy
May 2, 2012 at 8:02 amWhat a great giveaway.

Meaghan
May 2, 2012 at 8:02 amWow – such an awesome giveaway. I love how social media allows authors to engage with their readers. I met an author in a similar way and she offered to Skype into my book club session, which was such an amazing experience. I am a fan for life!
Feel better!

Whitney
May 2, 2012 at 8:04 amFeeling extremely blessed today as my husband and I got to hear our baby’s heart beat this morning at our 12-wk prenatal visit! It’s such a reassuring sound, and brings such peace! I’m so thankful for ears to hear it, and it makes me even more excited to celebrate my first Mother’s Day in a couple weeks.

May 2, 2012 at 8:04 amMy day has been interesting so far. Changed 3 poopie diapers, nursed an infant twice, cleaned up doggie throw up (from eating one of the poopie diapers,) vacumed, fought a toddler for hours to go on the potty, made 2 breakfasts, wrangled the toddler into the car to go to school, did the dishes and one load of laundry all by 9:30 am. I am now going back to bed! =)
Jess
May 2, 2012 at 8:04 amMy day started off not so well…it’s raining, and my run was sloppy and slow. BUT, now that I have a hot mug of coffee and am looking forward to an out-of-town visitor arriving this afternoon, I’m feeling pretty good! 🙂
Feel better!!

Liz
May 2, 2012 at 8:06 amAwesome!
So far my day is consisting of cleaning up after a rather messy (but ultimately successful and rewarding) home improvement project! (Ever wonder how to make your husband’s beloved 50″ black hole of a TV as inconspicuous as possible?)

May 2, 2012 at 8:10 amBest giveaway ever! I actually rushed out to get this book after you reviewed it, and this morning decided to hop on your site to look up another book suggestion. I find that we have pretty similar tastes when it comes to choosing books! My day is going well….just settling in for a 12 hour shift at work. 9 minutes down, a million more to go! Feel better!

May 2, 2012 at 8:10 amI stumbled upon your website this morning for the first time looking for a healthy recipe for our school newsletter. Every week I have the privilege of sharing a healthy recipe with my children’s school, and your Mediterranean Quinoa Salad was the perfect recipe for this week! What an amazing site you have! I am hooked! Thank you for spreading the love of eating well, living well and running with others!

Emily
May 2, 2012 at 8:13 amIt’s 11:11..I think that’s a sign that my day should be turning awesome. At the moment I am very content and enjoying my hour break before my next shift at the gym I work at on campus. Let me tell you though I’ve been so overwhelmed. I’m a senior and it’s the whole I need to find a job/study for exams/ soak in these last precious moments/ prepare for my first half marathon this Saturday. I’m stressed. But looking on the bright side because life is good 🙂

Amanda B.
May 2, 2012 at 8:15 amStarting off this day with only about an hour and a half of sleep after a tough night with my 6 month old. The day is shaping up though since my 3 year old is being a sweetheart, the coffee is kicking in and the sun is shining outside. Now if the baby feels better soon and we don’t have to go to the dr’s. office, it will be a good day indeed! Hope you feel better soon too. 🙂
Mandy
May 2, 2012 at 8:15 amCrazy!
Lauren
May 2, 2012 at 8:16 amI’m a Labor and Delivery Nurse and my day started off in full force right when I hit the door this morning so this is the first chance I’ve really had to sit down. Yesterday was way better just because I got to feel two little kicks from a little boy baby growing inside of me. 17 weeks and two days and I couldn’t feel more blessed!
P.S. Totally had the sinus infection gunk the beginning of this week so I’m totally feeling ya! It’s a good time to curl up with your cat (or in my case, two cats) and let your body heal. 😉

Dana

Mary Pryor
May 2, 2012 at 8:31 amThis may come through twice. I couldn’t tell if it was submitted before – sorry. Anyway, my day is going good except for my hotspot wifi seems to be challenged which is par for the course. It’s windy and sunny here on the edge of the Mojave and the sheep are back so I woke to the sound of the leader bell and the sound of hundreds of hooves on dirt as they passed by under my window. Hope you feel better.
Tiff
May 2, 2012 at 8:32 amWhat a great giveaway! My day is going okay. Yesterday was my birthday and I spent all day at work then had class until 9pm. So today I’m very tired and just want to crawl back in bed. Hope you feel better!

May 2, 2012 at 8:33 amHi Jenna, my day is going well so far. I just woke up about ten minutes ago, and I have an hour to lounge around before class. Finals are next week, but for now, I can enjoy the beautiful spring weather.
Laura
May 2, 2012 at 8:33 amwhat an awesome giveaway!
My day so far: I got in at midnight last night from vacation in Aruba and was up at 5 am to work where I’ve been the last few hours but despite the lack of sleep, I am totally refreshed after a week at the beach 🙂
Lily O'Dare
May 2, 2012 at 8:33 amHi Jenna,
First off, I love the idea of having a matching e-reader with my mom, Cindy! Neither of us have had the convenience and pleasure of one yet, and I haven’t been able to come up with a good present idea for Mother’s Day. Other than baking for her which I always do for holidays such as this.
I am in the middle of finals at University of Miami. I am studying Creative Writing and although I LOVE to write, it isn’t quite as enjoyable with huge scary deadlines such as a 25 page portfolio due tomorrow at 10 am. I just made a ginormous iced coffee with coconut-almond milk, and although the caffeine is helping me stay alert and awake, I am not at all doing what I should be.
Instead, I am reading your addicting blog and day dreaming about my summer in NYC! I got an internship with Sarah Copeland, author of The Newlywed Cookbook. I’ve known Sarah for a few years. (I met her at the Food Network Kitchens when I went there on my make-a-wish trip. I am a wish child/cancer survivor. She was the head baker at FN then and I got a tour and met all of my favorite chefs.) I will be helping her with the creation of her second cookbook that is due later this year. Food styling, food photography, editing, recipe development, and testing, newsletters, and social media/blog stuff. I am SO excited!
Well there was my ramble, day is going good and I am blasting MGMT throughout my apartment while it rains outside. I am cozy, and happy. And highly caffeinated.

Julien
May 2, 2012 at 8:33 amMy day is so far going awesome! I got up and drank a smoothie and I’m about to walk my dog with a couple of my neighbors. Then it’s work, lunch and some “Poisonwood Bible”. And I have some yummy looking swiss chard for dinner.
Hope you feel better soon!
Lauren
May 2, 2012 at 8:33 amHi Jenna! My day so far tastes like the peach and strawberry smoothie I had for breakfast–sweet, tangy, and refreshing. I’m a Ph.D. student and just finished my last project for the year (well, except the ongoing summer research) yesterday. So, today is my first day of summer, and it’s goooood! I’m looking forward to starting some pleasure reading (dear Lord, please vanish all academic journal articles from the face of the earth). Books for the summer: Les Mis (again), The Hunger Games trilogy, the Outlander series, and whatever else I can get my paws on. Well, not both paws. Just one paw. The other paw will be holding a margarita, whiskey sour, or tangerine mimosa. Yes. YES!
Leanne
May 2, 2012 at 8:34 amMy day is going fine… I’m a little ashamed to admit I’m in my PJs sipping a smoothie, but hey- that’s what days off are for. 🙂
Kit
May 2, 2012 at 8:34 amHi Jenna – hope you start to feel better. Its a little rainy today in the Boston area, but I am looking forward to an event I have planned tonight…a champagne toast for all May 2012 graduates at the college I work for!
Cheers!
Laura
May 2, 2012 at 8:34 amMy day is going swimmingly. I took the day off my my internship to work on my doctoral dissertation. I would love to win this for my Mom – our family has been through so much and she has been the best source of patience, and she’s truly a blessing. Wishing you a perfect day and a speedy recovery, Jenna. I adore your blog and how much you share of yourself in such a perfect way! XO

Kari
May 2, 2012 at 8:41 amMy day has started off wonderful! I’m wearing a neon orange dress that I LOVE from old Navy. The color itself puts you in a wonderful mood (except when someone tells you that you look like an orange construction cone…meh…who cares, it makes me happy!) I am currently counting down the minutes until lunch…my apple and orange are not holding me over well. I hope you get to feeling better and as always…I love your blog! Makes me smile every day!
Caroline
May 2, 2012 at 8:41 amHi Jenna! Funny you should ask about the reader’s day. Today my husband and I are planning our second (wedding) anniversary trip to Mendicino, and I’m totally pitching your what look to be like fabulous ideas on what to do (must.have.firepot.soup.). So thank you for the tips and I hope you’re feeling better very soon :o)

Lauren B
May 2, 2012 at 8:46 amI dropped about half a can of wet cat food all over the floor and my shoe this morning and it has been all down hill from there… Oh, well! It is almost time for my lunch break so that should make everything better. 🙂

May 2, 2012 at 8:48 amMy day is going pretty good, so no complaints. At work on a rainy gloomy Wednesday, office is super quiet. Just found a pair of Nike Free Trail Runners for $40 online, which was an awesome steal. Contemplating on what to eat for lunch… I’m leaning towards a burger with extra cheese and pickles! YUM-O but not healthy 🙁 LOL

I was up with the early birds this morning (around 5am), standing outside enjoying the warm morning and listening to the birds sing while my (ridiculous) poodle played in the early morning dew and fog. We even had a pretty sunrise and now it’s almost 80 degrees outside!
My days got off to a wodnerful start and it’s still going great!
Take care of yourself!

I hope you’re feeling better soon! Today I’m lounging in the bed watching food network, wishing i felt good enough to make some of the stuff I’m watching. Yesterday I managed to stay up long enough to make my boyfriend two cheesecakes to take to work but other than that I’m afraid I’m being pretty useless.

Kcirrehs
May 2, 2012 at 9:32 amMy day is going quite well! A strong, steaming cup of coffee and big yogurt n’ fruit bowl with chia, flax, oats, and nuts were thoroughly enjoyed whilst watching the sunrise. I’ve already gotten a brisk four miler under my belt and was lucky enough to be accompanied by my two lovely dogs. Now, my workday is beginning and with it the chance to read this book and many others! I was quite disappointed when I couldn’t find How To Love An American Man at my local library, after reading your review of it, Jenna. As much as I love the feeling of an actual book, a Nook would be such a luxury! I drag around three books at a time usually. Good luck to everyone! Beautiful days all around! Also, I do apologize for my writing. I know my English sentence structure is still not the best. Something to be improved upon by more reading!
Anna
May 2, 2012 at 9:33 amHi Jenna! I’m in the middle of finals this week and next so my day’s a little busy. Can’t wait to be done next week! Hope you feel better soon.

May 2, 2012 at 9:40 amSo far my day is pretty productive- got the kids off to school, walked, did some gardening, showered, had breakfast, cleaned up the house, and now I am getting ready to list some things on eBay- and it’s not yet ten a.m.!
Karina Sherman
May 2, 2012 at 9:41 amHi, Jenna! My day is going wonderfully. Living in Sunny San Diego makes most days amazing. On top of that, I just found out my little sister is going to be a mother and I’m going to be an Aunt for the first time! I can’t wait to help her guide her child into a fulfilling and loved life. Get well soon!

Katya

Erica

My day is going pretty well…I’m sorry you’re sickly:( I hope Adam’s taking good care of you. I am pre-ordering your book today (!!!!!!!) and am now lobbying for your book tour to come to St. Louis-if for no other reason than to see me. Love you much dear!!

May 2, 2012 at 9:48 amHello Jenna! I am having a great day so far. I’ve just started a new business and while looking for other individuals to share information with, I discovered your site.
Which I am loving by the way!
I am hosting a give-a-way also on my facebook page. But I would love to enter your Nook Reader give-a-way. I have been wanting to get one for a while now. This would be a terrific prize to win!
Thanks for sharing the opportunity!

Lorna
May 2, 2012 at 9:49 amIn my dream world, my day has consisted of snuggling up with my cats, a cozy blanket, and a long book to read. In reality, I came in to work early, had a million things go wrong, and don’t anticipate lunch for another hour or two. On the plus side, at least I can still go home tonight and do everything I wanted to anyway!
Kathryn
May 2, 2012 at 9:49 amGood start his morning! Found 6 kittens yesterday(our dog is NOT happy to have house guests) and baby sat a 4 month old screaming baby yesterday! Woke up this morning after a long nights sleep with a quiet house. Chobani Champions Very Berry Yogurt for breakfast and I reenacted a yogurt commercial. Heaven!

Kristen
May 2, 2012 at 9:55 amMy office is about to open for calls from customers, and I’m praying it’s not as busy and it’s been the last couple of days. Other than that, I’m trying to enjoy the warm weather despite the rain!

Brittney
May 2, 2012 at 10:00 amMy day is going great!
I just finished this book last week and actually talked to my mom about how the book pushed me to see the relationships I have with women in my life differently. I would love to have a copy of her own to read.
Alexandra Rodriguez
May 2, 2012 at 10:01 amI had so many errands to get done, but I got sick and my plans have def gone out the window for the day :/ oh well! 🙂 Hope you feel better soon!
Shep
May 2, 2012 at 10:02 amMy mom would LOVE this! I’d probably give it to her as a thanks-for-college-and-happy-mother’s-day gift, seeing as I graduate from college in THREE DAYS! … Holy crap.
Kathleen
May 2, 2012 at 10:04 amThe sun is shining and I just ate the juiciest apple ever. Today is going to be excellent and I have the power to make it happen.
Gloria
May 2, 2012 at 10:04 amMy day is going pretty good so far. My client didn’t show up for an appointment with me this morning (the joys of social work!), but I decided to come home for my lunch break and I’m currently eating a piece of leftover cookie cake for dessert 🙂

Amy
May 2, 2012 at 10:08 amMy day is one that I need to be thankful for. If I’m a little bored, then I think it’s a blah day. It’s not blah, it’s one day of my life that has value. That’s a little self talk that I want to listen to and act on.
That said, it’s raining and I would love to leave work and be at home reading.
Hope you feel better.
Leslie
May 2, 2012 at 10:08 amMy day is going good! Just hanging out with my (almost) 4 month old watching her try to roll over. This is my first Mother’s Day and I’ve been wanting to read this book so it would be perfect!
Ashley @ PerfectleyPeared

Allison
May 2, 2012 at 10:10 amAfter four months of grad school and studying for the CPA exam, I have nothing I have to do today except what I want to do. That might be run, sun, read, and cook. I’m enjoying my freedom for the short time it lasts.

LEIGH
May 2, 2012 at 10:12 amI am working long hours during busy season. I do get to look at my computer during lunch. But as soon as this busy season is over, I’ll be back to my reading. How to love an American man will be at the top of the list.
Gennin
May 2, 2012 at 10:13 amJust eating a terrific salad from the cafeteria at work. It’s finally over 80 degrees here in Illinois and I can’t wait to watch my boys play ball tonight. Life is good!

Julie
May 2, 2012 at 10:19 amMy day is crazy! I work at a tiny nonprofit and our biggest event of the year is coming up in 8 days, we also have 3 grants going out this week so it’s been total hyper-drive. Reading your site for a pick-me-up as I hurredly eat my sammie. Not gunna lie, also pretty happy for this chance to vent 🙂
Lisa D
May 2, 2012 at 10:19 amToday is an exciting day. I am meeting my family at the airport and we are all flying over to England (where the rest of my family lives) to spend my 25th and my mother’s 50th birthday together. It has been years since we’ve been able to coordinate everyone to be together at one time and it is long overdue.
Miranda Vaughn
May 2, 2012 at 10:20 amSo far, so CRAZY. 🙂 But that will make the day fly by, right?
Michelle
May 2, 2012 at 10:20 amI’ve got a nasty sinus infection, here in MKE, too!
Michele
May 2, 2012 at 10:21 amWow, this would be great for my mom and I!. She would love it.
Today, I finished up my second to last exam….only one more to go. Yes!
Also, being sick is no fun. I hope you feel better.
Mason Hayes
May 2, 2012 at 10:22 amMy day has been crazy because I just took my last final of the semester! But tonight I get to go home to my mom 🙂
Amy Koch
May 2, 2012 at 10:22 amMy day is going great! I have just finished my very last assignment after six years of Architecture school! I am graduating in a week, and I will then be taking a 2 month road trip with my mother actually. So these would be excellent for some mother daughter reading on our down time!
briana
May 2, 2012 at 10:23 amIt’s definitely a “so far, so good” day for me! Lots left to do, but can’t complain about my progress thus far. And I’ve been listening to some Elton John in the background all morning, which of course brightens any day!
Gabs
May 2, 2012 at 10:24 amReading a good book, ate some coffee cake, heading to yoga later. Counting my blessings.

May 2, 2012 at 10:24 amHi Jenna! What a sweet giveaway!! I am also sick – very sick – with no voice and a terrible chest cold (praying that I can miraculously make a full recovery in time to run Broad Street Run here in Philly by Sunday!) Hope you feel better ASAP as well <3
Alexis
May 2, 2012 at 10:25 amI’m excited about this giveaway! My day is going pretty well. It’s actually been a slow day so far, but now that I said that… I’m sure things will get hectic.
Faith
May 2, 2012 at 10:25 amSlept in, had a nice bike ride to work and found some chocolate covered raisins in the cabinet! Not bad for a Wednesday 🙂
Heather C
May 2, 2012 at 10:27 amMy mom would freak if she received one of these 🙂
My day is going well – I’m not doing anything great at work but I’m alive, well and that counts for a heck of a lot!
Dawn
May 2, 2012 at 10:27 amMJy day is going great! I actually read that book after you recommended it, and I loved it too!
Maggie
May 2, 2012 at 10:28 amOh my gosh my day is not going well! The subway I was on this morning stalled between stations so we all had to walk to the back and climb out the last car which was thankfully still in the station we had left. That made me 15 minutes late for my doctor’s appointment (pre-surgery testing for this Monday’s wrist surgery), but that was ok because I had to wait an hour and a half to be seen anyway! Plus it’s raining and NYC is no fun in the rain. And I wore Tom’s instead of rain books because all they predicted this morning was a few showers in the afternoon!
But I’m eating a delicious salad, actually one you turned me on to, it’s romaine and feta with a veggie burger and then siracha, tahini, and balsamic as the dressing. Look at that, that coincidence made me smile!
Tania
May 2, 2012 at 10:28 amGreat day so far. Full of baby chicks and sweetness.
Hayley
May 2, 2012 at 10:28 amSo exciting! I’m actually reading this right now! love it 🙂 my day is fine, wish i wasn’t stuck inside an office…but fine none the less 🙂

May 2, 2012 at 10:29 amI came down with a stomach bug Monday night and I’m still feeling it today, so my day hasn’t been great so far! 🙁 I still have to go to work – we’ll se how that goes!
Tara@Sugar Spice and Bacon
