- 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.”]

I have the best memories of vacations in Traverse City, Michigan! We went every summer and it was the best! <3
My favorite vacation spot is Destin, FL!
My fave vacation spot would have to be Cape Cod…specifically, Chatham! My family has been going there every summer and it never gets old!
I don’t have a go-to repeat vacay spot (and now I need to find a family friendly one!) but my favourite vacation to date was our week in Sonoma a few years ago!
Blue ridge mountains
This is such a good question! I like reading everyone’s comments. While I am willing to travel anywhere, my most favorite spot is 30A in Florida. It is getting crowded but that is ok because = great restaurants!
Hawaii!
My vacations are pretty much always to visit family. So my fave spot is Oceanside, CA where most of my family lives. Luckily it is also right on the beach and always in the 70s :)
I want to go to Thailand. And eat everything! But I’ve never been.
My favorite vacation spot so far has been Ireland, and Costa Rica. But for a weekend Getaway, North Conway or Portsmouth NH! Stephanie.W.Yaeger@gmail.com
I pre-ordered already and cannot wait for March! xo

I love to travel to different places and have many favorites, but the one place we always go back to is the Outer Banks, NC. Hatteras, in particular, is very low key and relaxing, and we eat delicious fresh fish every night.
My absolute favorite place on this earth is the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I’ve been to the Bahamas, Cabo, Dominican Republic, and Jamaica and I’d still prefer to be there over anywhere else!
I haven’t been on many vacations, but I have a bucket list of places I’d love to go-New York City is at the top of that list!!!!!
I think one of my all time favorite vacation spots is Sanibel Island, Florida!
My favorite vacation spot is Vieques, a tiny island off Puerto Rico. It’s so perfectly off the beaten path and non-touristy that it’s the perfect paradise. My favorite thing is talking with the locals. Especially the old fishermen that sit down by the coast and tell stories. :)
Vero Beach, FL
My fave vacation spot is Maui… can’t beat it and lives up to the excitement every time. It’s so beautiful and laid back there!
Our favorite vacation spot is Sanibel Island, Florida! Can’t wait until February for our next trip. I can taste the fried grouper already :-P
Charleston, SC…the BEST!!!
I work in the travel industry so we are always going somewhere new, but there is something about going on vacation to a favorite place you know so well and love so much, for me it is St Martin. Growing up my family spent almost every Thanksgiving there and it’s also where my husband proposed! We haven’t been in a few years but are itching to go back soon!
my parents’ home on the FL gulf coast! such a beautiful place with so many fun family memories
I follow both :)
Been fortunate to travel a lot of awesome places but one of my favories has to be Nice, in the French Riviera. I loved swimming in the clear blue Mediterranean!
My favorite vacation spot is home. It’s the better place to rest. Maybe I say that because I have never travelled in my life.
My favorite vacation spot is the beach – really any beach will do, but I’m biased about North Carolina beaches :)
My favorite vacation ever was Tulum, Mexico, but I also love family vacations at the Jersey Shore!
Oh man I’ve had this slow cooker on my wishlist since last year I think! You are so generous. My favorite vacation spot is Bermuda, but haven’t been to Europe yet so that may change in the future ;)
I also pre-ordered The Pretty Dish – can’t wait!
My favorite vacation has always been Disney World!
Punta cana!!
Current favorite vacation spot would have to be Florida, my Grandparents live there and aren’t able to travel to high elevations (I live in Denver). The are in their late 80’s so being able to spend time with them and have them see my children is priceless!
**I don’t have an instagram but I do follow you on facebook.
I follow you on both.
My favorite vacation spot is the beach, I’m not particular which one, but my last trip was to Wilmington Beach and I had a great time.
I moved to the States from Italy 7 years ago so what used to be home is now my favorite vacation spot!
My favorite vacations are always weekend getaways to Sugarloaf Mountain!
My favorite vacation spot is a tie between Napa and Colorado!
Pre-ordered The Pretty Dish! Can’t wait to see it.
Alaska was amazing!
My favorite vacation spot is the Bahamas!
My favorite vacation spot is Sululta, Ethiopia! I’m a professional marathoner and rural East Africa stole a little piece of my heart the first time I went to train there. Now I try to go for a few weeks each year!
Ireland!
San Diego! Although I think it’s just because my first trip with my husband with no kids!
I love to vacation in new places as much as I can! I’ve had great trips around the country visiting college friends in Colorado, Oregon, Arizona and New York.
Kauai! We just took our little one (who is almost 1) for the first time last month and had such a wonderful time! We are already planning our next trip back! :)
My favorite vacation spot is Maui :)
Every year, at the start of the fishing season, my family heads up to Howard Prairie Lake, outside of Ashland OR. My grandparents have been taking my Mom and Aunt since they were little, and they come with us too! It is my most favorite place in all the world!
I preordered the pretty dish!
I would love to vacation in Europe! My passport has never left the continental US :(
Of course I follow you on Instagram
Honestly, my favorite vacation spot is my older sister’s house in Nebraska!
My favorite vacation spot is Avon, NC! Perfect wind, water, and sun!
I love Cape Cod ❤️
