Please VOTE FOR MY KID!!

On January 16th Lara entered the 5MinutesforMom First Ever Drawing Contest sponsored by Yoplait.

SHE IS A FINALIST!!!! and she NEEDS YOU TO VOTE FOR HER!

The winner will receive 1000$ to be put towards education and/or sports, and the second runner up receives 300$. Being a homeschooling family on one salary we could REALLY use this!

So PLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASE head on over and vote for her. She has some pretty tough competition but I think she can hold her own if YOU vote. There is only one vote per computer so I can't sit here and vote a million times like I would like to ;)

My Blog Party

Thanks for Stopping by my corner of the web.

Feel free to take a peek around. I'm all decked out in my girly party colours!!

Here...while you are looking, enjoy a cup of tea. If you are here in the evening why don't you enjoy some homemade pecan coffee cake or a glass of wine?



You see I'm all about Enjoying the Simple, beautiful things here on our country Homestead.

I've even pulled out my 'Anne of Green Gables' white flowing skirt from last summer.


We have lived here almost a year now, and I've learned so much already!!

You see we moved here from the subburbs and I'm turning into this Country, homeschooling, Chicken raising, All natural kind of lady.

O.K, so I'm not the person I EVER thought I would be, but I'm enjoying this Anne of Green Gables sort of life. In fact.....I'm loving it.

So come back soon and join me on my adventure!! I will let you have small glimpses into our day. You will also find me playing with my camera and taking pics like this.....

Or talking about my chickens.....

Or explaining how we get milk in these parts of the woods.


If you like, stop by next door as well. Here you will find my CRAZY athletic alter ego as I attempt to train for My FIRST MARATHON!!!

Not only am I PROUD TO BE COUNTRY, but I'm also PROUD TO BE A FIT MOM.Oh!!! I almost forgot....

Contest is now closed
Leave a comment on this post to let me know you were here. I will be RANDOMLY giving away an awesome gift of very...very AWESOME TEA and TEA ACCESORIES. Maybe some HOMEMADE BEAUTIFUL CLOTH NAPKINS as well.

Take Care and God Bless!

Mom 4 Life

I am loving the on-line stores I'm finding all run by Mom's. This one has caught my eye. Mom 4 life. It has a ton of really cool products for parents and kids. My favorite are the Baby Legs. They are leg warmers. These things are perfect for my girls!! Erin Hates to wear anything on her feet but loves skirts, and with The Babylegs she could still go to the bathroom by herself without trying to yank up those stockings!!!
Steph at Adventures in Babywearing is giving away a 25$ Gift certificate for the store. If I don't win does anyone want to buy me a couple pairs??? :)
