Sweet 'n Simple Blog is hosting a template contest as well. Go on over and check it out

Another contest from 5 Minutes for Mom

This time you can win a Western Digital Portable Hard Drive. This contest is also hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom. It's going to be given away on October 5. Having had two recent hard drive failures, I can attest to the need for a back drive. I didn't lose everything, but I did lose four months worth of stuff (school, email, and pictures). I was lucky and had the three most important summer events on disk.

Maybe another post later today :)

2 Fer Tuesday (2 posts on one day)

Hey There!

Did you hear about the Pink Dyson at Target? A percentage of sales is going towards Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Well 5 Minutes For Mom is giving one away on October 1.

BTW, I heard about this from Bonnie over at Bonnie's Bits. Thank you!

Ipod contest & recipe hunt

Set up:
In the super early hours of Monday morning, I was browsing home schooler's blogs. At the same time, I was recipe hunting. I didn't find one I that fit my ingredients so I gave up.

Fast Forward to Tuesday evening:
Today I went grocery shopping. I remembered a chicken and Italian Dressing recipe that sounds good so I buy Italian dressing. I already had chicken breasts. I came home to look for the recipe just so I could be 100% sure I make it right. My memory don't work so good any more. (yeah, lousy grammar but fits) Trouble is that I can't find the recipe. Figures right!!! I open my history and search all the recipe websites I looked at the other morning. No luck. It must have been on someone's blog so I go a searchin' some more. Home schoolers are great about posting recipes. I open my entire folder of home schooler's blogs. I start skimming looking for that elusive recipe.

I told ya all that so I could tell you what I found. An Ipod contest!!!

I went to Bonnie's Bits and read her 9/17 post about a Ipod contest. The website hosting it is It's Write Now and the contest post is here. Go take a look!

If ya made it this far, thanks.
