Restaurant.com Giveaway
Eating out is one of my favorite things to do. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE cooking for my family and I really enjoy it, but as I’ve said before, with the hectic schedules some of us moms endure, we deserve a break from time to time. When hubby suggests a night out for dinner, I’m all for it and I welcome it with open arms. For me, it’s more than about the food, it’s the time spent together discovering new places and revisiting some of our favorite places. Since eating out is such a pleasure for me, I’m glad to bring you some good news you might enjoy.

I spend 7 days a week fixing or cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner for my children (and sometimes I manage to eat myself). Although I absolutely love eating out, I just don’t have the time or money (to splurge), so it’s home cooked all the time. I would love to take a break from the kitchen and enjoy a meal out for a change. I miss being waited on (instead of feeling like a waiter)!

We are living on one income, so going out is a RARE treat. I cook budget meals everyday, so having a meal out for the entire family would be a real treat for all of us!

Hubby is currently gone during the week. So I cook and take care of my 6-yr-old, 3-yr-old, and 3-month-old by myself during the week. It’s exhausting!!! I LOVE to eat out but Hubby doesn’t since he eats out all week.

I deserve to win this giveaway, because I take care of four grandchildren, and this would be nice to have.
I need a day out. Hubby had been laid off so have not been out for awhile
My hubby and I really need a night out and this would be greatly appreciated.
I feel like I deserve this card because I’ve worked 60 hours in the past 7 days (in a row, yes, my work doesn’t know how to schedule) and I’ve also got 3 interviews coming up. I haven’t seen my husband in about a week because his schedule is completely opposite of mine. I’d like to finally catch up with him without having to deal with the hassle of cooking and doing the dishes. Thanks!
I don’t know that I deserve it more than anyone else, but we could sure use a night out. We haven’t been out alone together in a year and restaurant.com has one of our favorite area restaurants on their list.

Because I rarely go out anymore. I have been taking care of my son for the past few months after he had to have 2 surgeries to try to repair damage and remove tumors from his leg. They weren’t successful. I cook every night, and I am trying to get him as healthy as I can because the next step is either another surgery or chemo. I could really use an night out, where I don’t have to do anything.

As a Stay at home mom, I am in the kitchen for 3 meals a day plus I make lunches for my son and husband to take with them to school and work. I desperately need to get out of the kitchen ;).
I haven’t been able to afford to eat out in over a year. And I’m sick to death of Ramen noodles.
I think I deserve this card because I can not remember the last time my husband and I indulged in a night out to dinner! We have 2 small children and one on the way in May and this would make a great pre-baby dinner!

We’re on a limited budget, so rarely get to eat out. I cook every night, which gets to be a chore after working full time, etc.
There are six of us, and it is really expensive for all of us to eat out.
I think I deserve it because finances have been tight for quite a while and we haven’t been able to eat out at a restaurant in several months. Also, I need a break from cooking for 6! lol!
I think I deserve this because I go on little mini-vacations with my son and he enjoys eating out when we are on these mini-vacations.

Oh man…I want this gift card bad! For myself.
I’m so tired of the food my spoiled family eats! They are so picky, only wanting bland everyday meals. When I’ve tried to introduce them to something new and tasteful all I get is complaints. If I win this card it’s going to be all mine and they can eat their bland foods.:)

My husband has been out of work nearly two years (economy, work injury). We rarely go out. This would be great.
We are in Month 13 of the remodel of our house. It is going to be nice when we get done, but we need a lovely break.
I deserve this gift card and a night out of the kitchen because I cook over and over and over. boring
every parent deserves a night out of the kitchen :0)
I don’t think I deserve to win this any more or any less than anyone else who is entering but I’d really like to win because who doesn’t enjoy a night out.
I need this because I work two jobs and come home and have to cook. I’m sure we all are deserving but I could use a night out for dinner.
I’ve been stuck in the house all winter because of the snow. Now that it’s spring, we’ve had so much rain that our yard is flooded and so is our basement! My hubby and I have been so stressed out, we need a night out on the town!

Someone once said, “If you love something, let it be free” – or something close to that. Well… in this case I love dining out! On a more serious note, with three kids and the economic difficulties it’s not too often we eat out, so when we do it is a special treat. ;)
I cook pretty much from scratch for us every night and deserve a break at my fave Mexican resturaunt in Dallas, LUNA’S

I don’t get to go out to eat anymore because I can’t make ends meet each month. I’d love to take the girls out for dinner.
We rarely go out to dinner-this would be a nice treat
I’ve been working a lot, but I have a couple of extra days off coming up soon. I deserve a night out. Thanks.
It’s rather like everyone else in these tough times. My selfish reasons for wanting the restaurant.com card is because I would like the time alone with my husband. Maybe this way we could afford a babysitter so we can go out. There just never seems to be enough to justify both.

My husband is retired, and I’ve always cooked dinner from scratch every night just shy of 39 years. I really do enjoy cooking, but a night out at a nice restaurant would be an absolute pleasure!

I feel I deserve a night out of the kitchen cause I am a very hard working stay at home mom who does a ton of things that I don’t want to do cause it’s the best thing for my family…Like cook dinner almost every single night for a decade! I don’t even have a dishwasher so cooking is an even bigger job cause before I have even gotten my dinner, my family is done and piling dishes on the counter :(
I am the sole cook in our house. Hubby can barely make grilled cheese. So if I don’t do dinner, it doesn’t get done, and we’re really trying to avoid fast food for health and money reasons. That plus a rambunctious toddler…well, let’s just say a night out to eat where I don’t have to cook would be awesome!
