Mom contests- to peel an apple

I really want to start a new feature- one that is all about us! Where we can show off our talents and even win some prizes! So today marks the day of the first contest- here are the rules.....
#1 Read over what is going on
#2 Go do it for yourself
#3 Go make a blog post about it
#4 Come link up with McKlinky so we can all come and ooh and awe over what you did!

Since today is the first installment I wanted to do something that has been on my mind since I was in college! I had a job as a nanny for a couple different family's and it seemed like most of the kids would only eat apples, mac and cheese and drink apple juice. (Now that I have my own kid I realise this is just a normal kid! hehe) Anyway, I ALWAYS wanted to be the one who could peel an entire apple with a knife in one swipe. I have now come to realize it is IMPOSSIBLE!

So here is my challenge- Get yourself a nice big apple, get a knife and go to town peeling it in the biggest piece you can possibly make! Once the piece gets cut, take it and measure it, and of COURSE take a picture and post it along with your blog post! I want to see if anyone can do this! If you can, I will bow down to you- as well as award you with a really fun prize of your choice of ANYTHING from either of my shops! (That is almost 100 things to choose from!)

SO come on moms, grandma's, aunts, cousins, nanny's- get your knifes and apples ready and show me what youve got!!! Make sure you leave me a comment so I can come check you out too! And make sure to leave a mention to this post and the contest in your blog post! Entries will end next Tuesday night- so let see how you do! :)

  1. No way I could do that! Not even in 100 slices! I SUCK at peeling!

    Oh, and funny story... I suck at cutting too! I use to never be able to cut my pizza/pancakes/anything I'd have to cut, I'd just have to break it with my hands... Still sorta that way!

    I hope I'm better by the time kids come along!

    How are you doing?!?!??!?! I so just want to do lunch someday somehow!

  4. Ok, so I dont' have pictures, BUT i have been able to peel apples in 1 big peel since I was a little girl. In Washington we did a lot of apple stuff because of the orchards we had near by. Maybe tomorrow I will take a pic, but be assured I can peel apples AND potatoes in one big strip.
