However, since it’s my birthday this month, I figure we can celebrate both days together! So this month is my very first giveaway!! WOOHOO!!! Read the rest of this entry »

This is a fantastic christmas giveaway and could make an excellent christmas gift for you and someone special in your life!

There are two prizes to win from SandDunesBooks.com, and you have lots of ways to enter.  First prize gets to choose between The Mom and The Grandma journals.  These journals are filled with fun and loving questions that the person you give them to answers in their own handwriting, then gives the journal back to you.  You not only get to know more about the person who writes in this journal, but you get a keepsake that will last forever.

Some of my best memories are playing games with my family, both when I was a child AND now that I have children.  Some of my favorite games to play as a kid where Yahtzee!, Scrabble, Uno, and Trivia Pursuit (although I”m much better at playing Trivia today than I ever was as a kid  LOL!).  I can remember no matter how many games or hands of cards we played, I was always begging for “Just ONE more!!”  Of course if who ever I was begging gave in to my request, they’d get more begging after that game was done!  LOL!  Now, my sons are the ones begging for just one more game.  Which usually makes my mom burst into laughter and tell me it’s my “comuppance”.

Yes!  I have been waiting for something like this to happen… I’m sorry it couldn’t be on my website, but I’m happy to pass it along where it’s at!

This is a new blog to me but one I have decided to subscribe to none the less.  I happened upon this cute homeschooling blog by way of another blog that I subscribe too (isn’t the internet fantastic!!!).  And there it was, the giveaway for a full year subscription to Secular Homeschooling Magazine.

Now, if you’ve read my blog before, you know that I’ve written a few articles for SHM and have touted its spectacularism (is that a word?  It is now!).  Luckily one of you great, wonderful readers can win this subscription by heading on over to “The Homeschooled Year” and doing whatever it is you need to do to win (leaving a comment, following her on twitter, subscribing to her feed, etc. ya’ll know the drill!).

I’m thrilled to not only give more PR to SHM but also to this newly discovered blog!

As a blogger I have lots of resources up my sleeve to keep my blogs updated and interesting.  One of those things is Blog Energizer.com

One this website you get lots of great resources to share with your readers, and today I got word about a fantastic product and they are giving away a great Back to School package.  Now, I know what you’re thinking ‘But this is a HOME schooling website, we don’t GO “Back to school’!”.   This is true, however, these labels, even the Back to school ones, will be useful even for us homeschooling crowds!
