Good Morning! I really have been having fun blogging. I like meeting so many new, fun people, and I think it is great to do book reviews and giveaways. I think I may do some sort of compilation thing on Thursdays, where I round up some of my favorite things from the web and share them.

One of my friends, and a TOS Crewmate, Kimberley from over @ Raising Olives has been having quite a busy life lately! She has 9 children, homeschools, blogs & among many other things….just found out she was pregnant! Congratulations!
Anyway, she is up for several cool awards. I think she deserves a vote! Take a look and vote for her:) Here is the information from her post:
The voting period for the Homeschool Blog Awards ends tomorrow and I’m currently just 2 (two) votes away from first place in the Best New Homeschool Blog and only 1 (one) vote away in Best Nitty Gritty Homeschool Blog. If you haven’t voted yet, you can make a difference. Would you please consider clicking on the above links and voting?
Also, you could help me win $500 in gift certificates and enter yourself to win a portion of another $500 prize by clicking the button below and leaving a comment on Design Dazzle’s post featuring my rain gutter book shelf tutorial.
If you’ve already voted thanks, you can vote again today and tomorrow before 1 pm Pacific time.

On another note, have you seen the contest stuff going on with Thomas Nelson’s Twitter & Facebooking pages?
You have to check it out–they are giving away wonderful prizes for kids at the speed of one item a day, with a giant prize weekly. This week, it is as all about Gigi, God’s Little Princess!
They are also posting activity ideas and coloring pages….I had been a little disillusioned with FB & Twitter and decided I didn’t want to “get all into that” …but some of the new things people are doing are changing my mind (and, my sister finally got on:) Thomas Nelson Publishing…I am LOVING it!

Oh, here’s another cool one. Do you love massage? There is a contest going on over at Granola Mom 4 God with some lovely massage oil. While you are there you will just love her writing and adorable boys (including her bike riding husband). Her giveaway ends 11/23. Check it out!

Ok. Better go get breakfast. Next week I will work on this earlier, as there are so many great things out here! Meanwhile, do not forget to take a look at these two, relatively new, memes:
We are doing the Instant Challenge–it is great fun for the kids! I will have a post about our most recent challenge…um…right after we do it. We are behind this week!~
This meme is so sweet! I am the “busy” one and my husband is usually the one who reads for leisure time. But, I’m getting on this train..but I haven’t written a post yet. My last baby is 4…I only have a little while longer to snuggle like this:)

Well, have a good week. And friends who are not staying at home with your littles, you could still enjoy the If You Give a Mom a Book! (The instant challenge takes more work, I think–although it might be fun if you have some helpers!)
