Smart Cookie Amy Eldridge Gets a Surprise Vacation

fineliving.jpg If anyone deserves some R&R, it's our very own Amy Eldridge, the Readers' Choice winner of the 2009 Smart Cookie Awards. When she's not taking care of her own seven children (ages 4 to 22), Eldridge runs Love Without Boundaries, the nonprofit she founded six years ago, which funds lifesaving surgeries as well as nutritional and educational programs for orphans in China. Eldridge averages about three hours of sleep a night, and her travels are generally restricted to Costco, the athletic fields (for her kids' practices and games), and China.

In the premiere episode of Surprise Vacations with Karen Duffy, which airs Sunday, July 12, at 8 p.m. ET on FLN, an unsuspecting Eldridge will open her door to find a camera crew accompanied by her family, friends, and coworkers (who are all in on the surprise). She'll learn that she and some close friends (and no kids!) are about to go to an unknown destination where even more surprises await. With the help of her loved ones, viewers will learn why Eldridge deserves this trip. But we at Cookie already know why....

Here's a sneak peek of what's in store.

Congratulations, Amy!
