Giveaway #1
Welcome! My name is Julie and I'm so glad you decided to drop by!
I know you are in a hurry. (Last time there were over 1000 contests, I believe!) So I won't keep you long. But let me introduce myself. I'm a 39 year old Christian wife and mother. I blog about my life as a full time working mom of three. The Mom 2 Ways refers to the way my family was built: by birth and adoption. (But you'll have to guess who joined us which way!) My blog is about me, my family, my life, my faith, my friends, fitness, and lessons I'm learning on the journey. I don't cook much, so you won't find many recipes. I'm not a "compensated endorser", but I'll tell you about products I like (or don't like). Sometimes I share jokes or inspirational stories. 5 years ago, my family moved from sunny central California to sunny New Mexico.
I just turned 39, and I have made a list of 40 things I want to accomplish before I turn 40.
So, what is the prize? And what do you have to do to win? Good questions!
Prize:
Mini DVD from NASCAR: Legendary Racing Moments
$10 BearBucks from Build-a-Bear

I like the Dance with my Husband one, but first I got to get a husband - good luck on all your goals
I've used my passport several times although in reality I would love to pay off a car! What a cool feeling that would be. :)
I have always wanted to write a children's book and I even kind of have an idea for one, but I have just never taken the time or brain-power to persue it. I wish you all the best in the challenges you have set before yourself.

I've written over 300 articles, many have been published. What an awesome list you have.
Hi - I'm a Mom 2 Ways too!
I'd love to apply for a game show, though unfortunately it would be expensive to get to LA or NYC to appear on one.
I'd also love to write a children's book one day! Thanks for the contest.

I would love to learn to walk gracefully in high heels. I don't fall, but I think I look funny lol.
My inlaws would like that NASCAR dvd, and my daughter of course would have fun with the build-a-bear GC.
We've actually been in Roswell 2x this past month!

I need to Declutter the house
I've read several novels. :) I love the idea of making a list of things to do. After the carnival, I think I will have to do that.
What a cool idea. I've done several of the items on your list. The one I haven't done, but I have recently thought about - singing karaoke.
I remember commenting here before because my name is Julie and I, too, am a mom 2 ways. How fun is that?
I would love to sing Karoke also! I, too, turn 40 next year. I, too would also love to have an article published. But, I have yet to even start my own blog! Great giveaway - thanks for offering!

Ha! I just got done Number 14; Making a Halloween costume. I have stuffed that sewing basket away for a few weeks. I don't want to look at it for a good long while.
One of the things on MY list though is to straighten out my craft room and sometime go in there :)
I've read a few novels in my time, but being a busy mommy and working gal, don't have much time to do the things I want!

hmmm....I've read the Bible several times, read more novels than I can count (that's not an acomplishment for me, though....more like a time sucker!) and I've memorized more than 40 Bible verses (thanks to AWANA!)
I love the idea of a goal list, there are so many things I'd like to do on there especially apply for a game show!! I wanna do deal or no deal!!
Good luck with your list! I am trying to write a children's book right now, it is something I have always wanted to do. Thanks for the giveaway!

I hope you accomplish all of your goals! Even if it takes you a little more than a year! lol
I would love to win this for my hubby and kids who are Nascar fans. Ok, I'm a bit of a fan, too. :)
Love your list. I have danced with hubby, and I've also sung Karaoke. I turn 38 tomorrow - maybe I should do a list, and I'd need the two years with six kids (so far) lol.
We have similar writing goals, too. :)
