I thought this time, I will not enter the Bloggy Giveaway. I will just browse the blogs and enter a few (yeah, right!). But then I decided, "What fun is that?!?!" So I'm going to join in.
What exactly is a Bloggy Carnival?. It's when a bunch of bloggers get together and give away stuff. We share our links in one space, and then we spend a week visiting each others' sites and entering their contests. Sounds like fun, eh? (No, I'm not Canadian, but "eh" just seemed to work there!)
I am a full time work outside the home Mommy to 3 wonderful kids. They are gifts from God after years of infertility. I'm wife to John who stays home to take care of said kids. This arrangement may seem backwards to some, but it works for us. :) I'd love to get my blog going more consistently---and sometimes I do. :)
Oh...do you want to know what I'm giving away? A $10 Land's End gift card. It came in the mail yesterday---seems like perfect timing! If I get a lot of comments, I'll throw in some other cool stuff (TBA).
To enter, please post a comment about my blog. Contest is open to US residents only.
So head on over to the Bloggy Carnival!

I love that your husband stays home with the kids. I think this is my husband's dream -- but it's what I'm doing!
I heard Land's End is also having some back-to-school sales so this will go even further!

That wordle (is that what it was called?) thing is pretty neat! I'll have to try it again sometime. :)
I'd love this gift card!!!

I would love to win this! I heart Land's End.
Way to go on the weight loss! Keep up the great work.
I like that you are a mom by birth and by adoption. (We are currently pursuing an adoption ourselves!) That's awesome. I also really like the weight loss tracker. I haven't seen that before and thought it was neat.
Thanks for the giveaway!

My husband always says he'd love to be a stay at home Dad! I think it's because we have two in our neighborhood and he just wants to fit in :)
I really like your favorite things...
Your weight loss ticker is an encouragement to me. Please enter me in this great giveaway! Thanks!
wow you have an interesting life. A great one, your happy. you work, you have kids, and you life with in laws (maybe that is why you work? hah! kidding! )

i love that you are very open and sincere in your blog posts :)
Great giveaway! :)
i'm dating a canadian, eh, i hear it all the time, eh, it's rubbing off, eh, help, eh
I just read your blog post called "How to" and Oh My Goodness!!! I can't imagine!!! I have heard of that happening to people, but never actually met somebody that did that. You must have just been beside yourself. I will try to refrain from purchasing the Wii tennis racket. Thanks so much for the heads up on that. I am so sorry about your TV. Yikes!

I have to agree--I love the nicknames you use for your kids, and I especially enjoyed your post about your husband's love! It's always humbling and wonderful to be reminded that we are truly loved in spite of ourselves sometimes ;)
Thanks for sharing so beautifully, and best wishes to you and your family!

The names you use for your children are too cute. Much more inventive then what I use for my children.
I like your kids' nicknames. :)
I have friends who struggle with infertility, but don't like to talk about it. I like that you are so open about it.
I loved the quote sent by your Auntie M. on suffering. Gives me something to think about.

I love the nicknames you use for your children.
Great giveaway. Thanks for the chance.
Have you ever seen "Where the Heart is" with Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd? I just ask because the nicknames you use for your kids on the site totally reminds me of the names the mom in movie gave to her kids: Brownie, Praline, etc. Too funny! Love your site! :)
Munchie, cruncy and chewy, thats cute! LOL
I am reverse of you, years of fertility and then fertility problems.
Count me in!
Thanks!
Its wonderful you have 3 blessings after years of trying that is awsome.

I love Lands End... and your kids' names! Cute!
I was just looking at the Women's Beach Living Sleeveless Kangaroo Pocket Hoodie Dress from LE. IT looks so comfy! I'd put that towards it!
I have a Land's End back to school wish list and a gift card would really help....thanks for the great giveaway.
the kiddos names cracked me up...definetly a mommy with lotsa humor!

I've dropped by your blog on numerous other occasions and was first attacted to it because of the kids' names. What great names. Also, I am the mom of four after years of infertility so I feel we have been on similar paths. Thanks for the blog and the giveaway.
Love your children's nicknames. They are so cute!
I love the names you picked for your kids!
I would love to win! Thanks!
We have two beautiful boys and a 3rd on the way all through adoption after infertility.

I like that you're a mom of two ways. I think adoption is awesome!
I have 3 little ones and my husband was home with them for 3 years while I worked outside the home. We've recently switched roles and I'm in and he's out.
The "Vacant Quiver" post is extremely touching...
We have had two children naturally...but now I am unable to have any more.
Not quite empty yet not quite full
I really enjoyed reading about your family.
I just love the fact I'm not the only 40 something with a 2 yr old!
to know someone else feels my pain! :0 :)

I like that you are writing about being a mom both by birth and adoption. I wish more people did both!
I have 6 kids, 5 of whom are heading back to school in a few weeks (baby is too little) so a gift certificate we could use towards school stuff like lunchbags or backpacks would be great. Thanks for having the contest.
Your kids are cuties...I like the patriotic picture of them :). I love your "fun stuff" sidebar. You have a cute, sweet layout. I feel like our kids would get along, too.

It's amazing all of the places you have pulled in readers from. Good job.
Yup, got sucked in, thanks to my dear friend, Julie D. LOL I've blistfully wasted much of the past 3 days here! (But Jeremiah and I have a tummy bug today, so we are spending most of the day in bed and I'm taking blogging breaks to celebrate my birthday.)

I loved reading about your potty training dilema. I too have had trouble and tried everything and just a few days ago my son started to come to me and let me know he has to go potty....I almost died as I couldn't believe he was actually telling me. Finally a breakthrough. Thanks for the chance to win!
I like the polka dots background because it's cute and still easy to read.

Your kids' pseudonyms are so cute. I call my two Miss Pink and Mr. Blue.
I started off with this same template and loved it!!
I like the name of your blog, although I am slow and requires the little tagline to figure out what it meant. Happy carnival!
I'm a mom two ways myself. Thanks for the giveaway.
The picture of your kids is so cute! Thanks for the giveaway!
Your kids are so cute! I love how much you talk about them.
Your children are adorable! Thanks for having this contest!
I read where you won a carseat on one of the big Giveaways. That's must have been neat! My biggest win was $1000 cash at a Greek Festival. Online, I entered about 800 on the last Bloggy Giveaway. I won 4 of those. Beautiful prizes but not in the major league category.
Thanks for this,
KJ
Thanks for the giveaway! I enjoyed visiting your blog and reading about you and your children.
Those are cute nicknames and kudos on the blog site.
That's great that your dh stays home with the kids. I'm going back to work tomorrow in fact, after staying home for the last couple of years. I'm a little sad, but excited too.
what great names!!!
what a fun giveaway, thank you

I like your kids nicknames. Too funny.
The force is strong in your young padwons
Good job on your weight loss! Hang in there! :-)

I love the dots. For some reason dots these days are my favorite. thanks katie_mmartin at yahoo dot com.
My twins nicknames are Moose and Snipe! They tell strangers those names! Thanks!
I love your weight loss ticker. I weigh about 40 lbs more than when you started but this is great inspiration for me to see someone else around my weight being open and honest like that. Thanks and I think that might just be what motivates me to get off my butt!!
I like that your background is subtle and unobtrusive. Some backgrounds mess with your eyes when you are trying to read. Thanks for the chance to win.
