This giveaway has ended. Congrats to our winner, Cassidy S.!
May is C-R-A-Z-Y. The kids are almost done with school and this means a never-ending schedule of performances, sports banquets, school programs and festivals. Add to that overlapping Spring sports, Spring do-to’s in the garden and the usual workload, and it is so easy to see why May leaves us worn out and sometimes sick.
Staples was kind enough to send me a kit with a boat load of products to delight my inner germophobe and keep the germs out of my office. We clean our homes, but we don’t often remember to clean our work spaces. And, at this time of year, it is so important! I’ll take a healthy May, please.
I love that Staples is a one-stop place for not only office supplies, but everything I’d need to stay productive at work. I’m able to pick up Clorox Wipes, K-Cups, and my Method Hand Soap in one stop. More often than not, I order online using my EasyRewards account and score FREE shipping and cash back on my purchases.
While there isn’t an EASY button for May, you can certainly simplify your life by staying healthy and running fewer errands. And to help with that, one lucky reader will win a $50 gift card to Staples!
Here’s How To Enter The Giveaway
(Remember, each comment is considered a entry – so leave a separate comment each time.)

Contest will be open till end of day on May 28. Winner will be notified by email and has 48-hours to respond before another winner is chosen. Winner must reside in the lower 48-states of the continental USA. Good Luck.

1. We say “No” to anything we can, leaving time for all of those important things, like banquets and performances.
2. I forgo homemade dinners and opt for easier, faster, prepared things (hello, Costco!) when it gets super busy — one less thing to have to hassle with!
