- Andrea Ortlieb who said “Over Christmas each year, instead of buying presents for her 10 children, their spouses and children, my grandma would rent a hotel room for two nights for each family. We would all gather together to spend time swimming, laughing, and enjoying each other’s company. It was something we all looked forward to year in and year out. We would all bring a dish to pass as we shared a meal and memories of the past year. While the destination was usually about 15 minutes from home, it was the best vacation of the year, each year for over two decades!”
- Lynda M who said “Hilton Head Island is my favorite vacation spot! We’ve been going every year for the past 20 years and we love it!”]
For today’s giveaway, I’m giving TWO 7-quart Cuisinart Multi Cook Slow Cookers!
YOU GUYS!! This is the slow cooker than I am downright OBSESSED with. You can sear, brown and saute in the crock of this slow cooker. That means no searing on the stove and transferring to the slow cooker – it can all be done in ONE place! I love this so much and have been ranting and raving about it for over a year now. Perfection.

1. Simone who said ” I also pre-ordered The Pretty Dish in August (and sent an email on Monday).”
2. Tamar Strauss-Benjamin who said ” Best gift…wow…hard to think about that but probably my teddy bear that still is the number one “lovey” in my life. This year marks 24 years together (:”
3. David Gebhardt who said ” About 15 years ago on Christmas Eve I was in the car with my mom on the way to a party and we broke down in the middle lane of I-95 and we were completely stranded with a decent amount of traffic around, well before my mom had a cell phone. After about 10 minutes of waving at cars, hoping that someone would stop for us…a car pulled up behind us then heard what was wrong…moved his car to entirely block the right lane traffic and helped us push it to the shoulder, let us borrow his cell phone to call for help, gave crying me a box of chocolates, and drove away without even saying his name, as he didn’t want any kind of reward, just told us Merry Christmas and drove off.”]

The favorite place I’ve ever vacationed is Bruges, in Belgium. It’s so picturesque and perfect!

I’ve been fortunate enough to visit over 40 different countries, and have lived abroad for almost four years off and on, but I still consider the Oregon Coast one of the most beautiful places in the world.
It’s my favorite vacation destination because I can bring my dogs, it’s affordable, and it will always remind me of my childhood.
The Valentin Imperial Maya in Riviera Maya Mexico, Best Place EVERRRR!!! (I follow you on Instagram, I don’t have facebook)
I don’t get to go on vacation a lot but my favorite vacation in the past was to Costa Rica! What a beautiful country that has such friendly people, beautiful mountains/actually volcanos, sandy beaches where you get cold coconut water from a man with a wheelbarrow and a machete. Go for the sloths, stay for the white water rafting. I’m considering going back for my honeymoon but I want to explore more of the world!
I follow you on Instagram and Facebook <3
Ugh that’s such a good question! Every year in lieu of Christmas gifts my Parents rent a house on either a lake or beach for the whole family; siblings, kids and we just spend the whole week indulging and driving each other crazy. I think that’s my favorite. Liked & followed. :)

My favorite place is anywhere new – I love researching and planning! Traverse City/Sleeping Bear Dunes is where we go most, though – good times year-round!
On a crazy whim my husband and I purchased a timeshare while on our honeymoon in St Johns. Now 10 years later we have been able to raise our kids with this bi-annual treat. Although answering this question was hard because I still haven’t explored the world enough to say… St Johns has been a beautiful safe place to call our family’s favorite for a while! Our hearts go out to the community as they rebuild.
My favorite vacation spot is definitely Hawaii. Tropical weather year round, great food, beautiful beaches…
I love Ormond Beach Florida. We go every year.
My parents bought a condo in Myrtle Beach when I was two. We have been going back to the same place ever since, and I am 35. We absolutely love travel there, and it is very special for all of us.
Every time I go on vacation, I think it’s my new favorite destination … but right now, I’m on vacation in Austin, TX with my daughter. We are celebrating her completion of final exams and we’re having the BEST VACATION !!
Just ordered the book, too! Can’t wait to get it!
St. Thomas USVI! My husband and I got married there. It is so devastating what happened due to the hurricanes. We are planning to go back next year to celebrate our 10th anniversary so hopefully they will be ready for tourists by June!
