Back to Sweeping

I took a break from sweeping for awhile, but lately I've been getting into it again. Today I was saying goodbye to my husband when he went back to work after lunch. When we opened the door, we both wondered why a FedEx truck was pulled up in front of our house. Hooray for me, it was a win! - a $25 NCAA gift card to use at an online sports shop. Nothing huge, but still a good way to start sweeping again. Here's hoping for a great year of sweeping in 2009!

Play. Sleep. Love.

Motto for life. Win one of these great stuffed animals/pillows/blankets from An Island Life and Zoobie Pets. Just choose which of these adorable pets you'd like to win (that's the hard part) and then post it in a comment. Good luck!

Crabmommy

I love Crabmommy's blog. It cracks me up because I adore my kids but I don't always adore motherhood. Right now my newborn is giving my gurgly smiles at 6:00 a.m. - love the gurgly smiles, not too crazy about the schedule. Right now Crabmommy is offering a cute baby-themed giveaway, and I'd love to win some adorable hedgehog stuff for my little gurgly-smiling tot. Enter here if you want a chance at the hedgehog cuteness, too.

Art Time

Remember those scented markers when we were kids? I was so in love with those things. Well, I found another product I absoultely love. Smencils!!! They're scented colored pencils.

They're sold by a company called Stubby Pencil Studio who makes eco-friendly art supplies and cute gift cards and other fun stuff for kids. I'm not exactly a kid, but I definitely need to get myself some of these. Apparently their soy crayons are even better than regular wax crayons. I want them! You can enter to win a set here. Good luck to us!
