Contest

Okay, you readers, who aren't as many as you used to be. . .

I have a contest for you.  A real, actual contest, hosted by yours truly.  It all revolves around a picture that Jackson drew during church today.  He was so excited to show it to me when he got home.  It's a picture of where he will be traveling over the next year.  (He says.)

You will need to click on it to see it larger, but here's the contest.  The person who can leave a comment and tell me the most correct destinations will get a prize.  I will buy you your favorite king-size candy bar or other equivalent and send it to you, wherever you live.

I will give you a couple of hints.  There are a total of seven destinations.  The point without a time and date stamp is our home.  The destination where he went today, 2/26/12 at 2:30 p.m. was Hawaii (so, yes, this is a map of the world).   Yes, he literally packed his suitcase and "went" to Hawaii.

You can have until Friday to make your guesses. Leave your guesses in the comments section (and you all will get at least one destination correct because I gave it to you), and then I will announce the winner on Saturday and get your address from you.  :)

This very picture is another reason I just love my boy!

Beautiful Locket

Do you need a great idea for a Mother's Day or Birthmother's Day gift (Birthmother's Day is the day before Mother's Day)? Then this giveaway is a must-see! I would love this for a Mother's Day gift to myself (since we don't have a birthmother yet).



*I was not compensated in anyway for posting this. . . well, at least I hope to win, but that's it.

A Free Print -March

Marcene's giving away another print. Go here to check it out if you're interested.

PF Changs

I love PF Changs, but we rarely eat there living on a tight budget; thus, the reason I'm posting about this giveaway. I want to win the gift card, then I wouldn't have to feel bad about paying a babysitter while we go out to eat!

Proof again of a small world

Okay, so I was doing my daily blog updates (reading to get caught up) when I got really excited. Why? Remember my friend Audrey who made my first adoption button? Well, she also owns her own candle business called Shoal Creek Candles. I've never tried one, but I'm pretty sure I need to. Anyway, my other friend, Shannon, is doing a giveaway for Audrey on her website, The Mommy Files. Something else you should know, to clarify my excitement, is that I met both of these women in Utah, but they were neighbors to me in different towns. Isn't how funny how small the world can be sometimes? I guess by now I should be used to it.

Anyway, go check out the giveaway and the candles. I know Audrey would love it if you did!
