Editor's Note: Congratulations to Guest, Allison, and Elena for winning this week's contest!
For most of us, the weekend is when we relax and recharge after a week of work. It's when we finally (and hopefully) have time to do the things we love: go on day-long outings with our favorite people, finish craft projects, or prep next week's dinners — that can be fun, too!
What is your favorite weekend activity? Are you actually able to do it every week — or would you want to? Do you prefer to have productive weekends, or do you reserve this time for rest and relaxation?
Tell us about your favorite weekend activity and we'll enter you in a drawing to win a $20 Amazon Gift Card!
We're doing three giveaways — here's how you can win!
If you're inspired to write a whole blog post OR you have a photo on flickr to share, please link to it in the comments or tweet it.
Good Luck!
