This here is the last Mighty Summit giveaway! Hello, trusty tote.

Large Natural Zip Top Canvas Tote Bag by Lands End
Man, these things are useful, and strong. We use ours to carry our child like an expensive, overbred dog. No, I kid. We use it on our yacht.
Yours will not say “Gifts” on the front, but it will have yellow trim. You could use it to carry around all these books:

You Lost Me There, by Rosecrans Baldwin
Hey, my friend Rosecrans is a novelist! Even better, the book he wrote is very good, and you will like it. It’s about a memory specialist who loses his wife and later finds a set of index cards covered in her writing. He comes to learn that his memories of a perfect partnership aren’t true to his wife’s feelings of isolation and disenchantment with the marriage.

No One Cares What You Had fro Lunch, by Margaret Mason
This is a signed copy of my book, which is not a novel. But! It is very green and full of good ideas for your blog.

Wiley’s Guide to California Wine
In which you will learn that California wine is delicious. Apologies for the spoiler.

This is the book Laura edited full of great writing and photography from women around the Web. Also, it is pretty.

In addition to the tote, Lands’ End also threw in a gift card. You could use yours for this. Or this. Or one of these. Whatever you want, really.

Mint tea! It’s so basic, but that first sip of hot mint tea with honey just melts all my tension away. Also: the little curls on the back of my sons head, and my cat’s soft little foot pads (which he lets me rub).

A thing that makes me happy is how at random moments-without warning-I hear my mother saying. “Hey, Jen” into my ear-she passed away a little over two years ago-and hearing her as she always answered the phone when taking a call from me-makes me indescribably happy-and blessed.

In addition to the obvious (Mexican food and wine), I have to say seeing my youngest dog, Hollie, roll over on her back and just lay there, exposing her far-too-spotty belly, always puts a smile on my face. She just looks so happy — how can I not join her?
