$50 to CSN stores - **CLOSED**

Have I mentioned how excited I am about summer break? I'm a teacher without children of my own, so that means endless time all to myself! I have always wondered, however, how all of those mommies out there deal with having the kids home all summer? I imagine it goes something like this:

If you're wondering how to occupy the kiddos this summer, consider CSN's 200+ online stores. I have a chance to give away a $50 e-gift certificate for any of their stores! If you've never heard of them before, they sell everything from a vanity to dog beds to shoes.

And you can get the kids outside and playing if you spend your free fifty dollars on something like this Slip 'n' Slide:

Or how about a sophisticated game of croquet?

Or maybe your kids would be more into this toss game?

But seriously, no one is going to judge you if you hog your winnings all to yourself!

So here's how to enter:
