Now is the perfect time to give your child the gift of possibilities for the holidays with Rosetta Stone Homeschool — and you can WIN a Level 1 Homeschool program, language of your choice (valued at $249)!

Right now Rosetta Stone is having a special Holiday promotion on our Homeschool Edition program and we’d like you to help spread the word! Everyone can save up to $150 on Rosetta Stone Homeschool by visiting our website at http://www.RosettaStone.com/hsw1110.

By helping us spread the word you can win a Rosetta Stone Homeschool Edition Level 1 program, language of your choice, valued at $249.

This is a computer based curriculum and Rosetta Stone will also include a headset with microphone, and a supplementary “Audio Companion” CD so you can practice lessons in the car, on the go, or where-ever!

Students participate in life-like conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program. Rosetta Stone incorporates listening, reading, grammar, vocabulary and writing along with speaking and pronunciation lessons. For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program to allow parents to easily enroll up to ten students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, grade completed work (the program grades the work automatically as the students progress), and you can view and print reports for transcripts. Homeschooling a lot of kids at your house? This program is designed to enroll and track up to ten students (five users on two computers) and will work for nearly all ages — from beginning readers up to college students.

Another one!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Qtpies7) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:21:00 +0000

I love, love babywearing. I am desperately seeking a pouch to try out. I am writing articles on babywearing and Attachment parenting, but I haven't gotten a pouch or Mei Tai to try yet. I'm bumming! If any company would like to get a review of their pouch or Mei Tai on my main blog, I would bend over backwards for you!!

But here is a chance to win a Mod Mum pouch sling at Ellinghouse! I hope I win it! I would probably pick the Riley because it is gender nuetral enough and very cute. Definately mod. I also love the Taylor and the Camden in blue. The Lily would be nice for a really fancy affair.

Am I back???

noreply@blogger.com (Qtpies7) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 05:19:00 +0000

Maybe.
It has been a busy, busy time preparing for my mom to move here, and getting her settled. Followed by being sick.
But I have to blog and tell you about a Sleepywrap wrap being given away! I have gotten two Sleepywraps and we love them! Kristen at An Ordinary Life is hosting the giveaway.

Sleepy Wrap is giving away $100 AND a wrap in one of the two new colors, black or red! The wrap would have been more than sufficient, but wow!
The women who run Sleepy Wrap are fantastic and so is their product.
My favorite sentence in the testimonials is

"It is the first time Sam has liked riding on my back in a wrap, it is much more
secure than my other wrap. He cried when I took him out."

Because that is MY testimonial!
Contest ends March 29.

Some Good Stuff at the River

noreply@blogger.com (Qtpies7) — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 23:42:00 +0000

A minister was completing a temperance sermon.

With great emphasis he said, 'If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

With even greater emphasis he said, 'And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, 'And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

Sermon complete, he sat down.

The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, nearly laughing, 'For our closing song, let us sing Hymn #365, 'Shall We Gather at the River.'

I am so excited to be able to take part in another Bloggy Giveaway Carnival!

A little while back I entered and won a new header for my blog, which you can see above.

For participating in the giveaway, everyone received $10 off a $20 or more purchase from RS Designs. So I waited until they had a design that matched my header and I snapped it up.

Lots of Good Stuff out there today!!!

One of the Good things in my life right now that keeps me going with the day to day stuff is LNO Ladies Night Out. So when I saw the shirt "Livin' for the next girl's night out" tee at PlanetMomTshirts.com I knew I had to have it. Thankfully, Tops 2 Bottoms is giving one away! The giveaway ends Feb. 13. I hope I win this one!

Prizey is giving away a great little set for the Super Heros at your house from Little Capers!
Our kids are nuts for super heros, as a matter of fact, our daughter has had a Spiderman bedset from toddler bed to even now at 4 years old.
Two days a week I babysit for a couple of boys and they, along with Trinity and Samuel, would love to be a super team.
Trinity would be the Heart Hero because she is the girl of the team, and loves hearts, plus she is sweet on the boys! Samuel is the bitty boy and needs a Red star hero outfit, he is a star! Jonah would be the lightening hero, and no one who knows him would pick anything else! He is fast and into things with lightening speed! Isaac would need the peace hero because he is the sweet one of the bunch, not wanting the fighting and he is a sensitive love bug.
They would fly around the house, sling webs and drive bat cars if they were all suited up to be heros. They already climb walls, so we won't go there.

Teresa is running her first contest of the year over at her personal blog. You have a chance to win a beautiful turquoise bracelet created by Lori Jaclyn. She’s willing to ship anywhere and that means anyone is eligible to participate and win.

This too shall pass....

That is what I told myself over and over as Trinity proceeded to daily dig into her diaper and finger paint with her p00p. It was bad when she would paint the rungs of the crib, the sheets, herself and the walls through the bars. But some days she would get into it when she was out of bed.
One day she was playing nicely in her room, nothing to cause suspicions for me, a little noise here and there.
But then I smelled it.
I walked the long walk of terror across the house to her room. I found p00p ground into the carpet. I found painted stuffed animals. I found her Fisher Price doll house with a new color fence and floor and walls. But where was Trinity?
I followed the trail of p00py footprints through the kitchen and down the hall. On several steps there were p00p figurines looking down on me, set ever so nicely on display. But I kept on for my target, which I found in the bathroom getting ready for the much needed bath that was coming anyway. P00p on the tub and floor and toilette, her clothes and her.
That was the worst mess I can remember. I have blocked lots of them out.
I said "This too shall pass over and over until I got through the entire mess. And you know what? It did pass! Right on to Samuel. And we start it all over again.

So, in light of that, I figured I should enter for Crazy Hip Blog Mamas Oreck XL Ultra Vacuum! She is giving one away on January 31. I'm going to need all the help I can get in the cleaning department.
