I am so excited to tell you all about this fantastic National Parks Project and to be able to offer a giveaway along with it! Thanks to MyBlogSpark and Nature Valley for providing the information and prize package.

Did you know that Yellowstone was the World's first National Park when it opened in 1872? And now there are 392 National Parks in the United States? Can I tell you on a personal level that I LOVE the National Parks. I grew up in Utah where National Parks are a plenty, and they are certainly areas or inspiration and wonder! I cannot wait to take my kids to more and more National Parks!

Of course, these parks require care and support to continue flourishing. But, years of underfunding and environmental problems are threatening our National Park system. So, Nature Valley has teamed up with Patricia Shultz, author of “1,000 Places to See Before You Die,” to support the parks through The National Parks Project.

And guess what? It is easy to get involved! Just purchase a box of specially marked Nature Valley Bars and mail in your wrappers to the address below:

National Parks Project
PO Box 450328
El Paso, TX 88545-0328

Nature Valley will recycle the wrappers AND they will contribute $0.10 to the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) for every wrapper received (up to $600,000 in total). Wow! That can really make a Difference! Please go read more about this project at PreservetheParks.com today!

Now, I was lucky enough to receive a fantastic package from Nature Valley and MyBlogSpark yesterday that contained a box of Nature Valley Oats ‘n Honey Granola Bars, mini backpack, a compass, a solar-powered key chain flash light, a reusable water bottle, and a copy of Shultz’s book "1,000 Places to see in the USA & Canada Before you Die".

A couple of things about this package. First, I LOVE this book and have hardly put it down since I got it. Great recommendations of places to see-separated by State-I have been reading about all the states we might move to in 2 years!! Second, my 4-year-old is a particularly eater (he claims to only like bread and meat) and will not touch granola-he has this morning eaten half the box of Nature Valley Oats 'n Honey Granola Bars. I had to wrestle the rest of the box away to I could eat them (I LOVE them).
