Olivari Giveaway

I am a bit behind posting on my food blog since the desktop computers at home finally reached their limit and I am now reduced to sharing a lone laptop with my daughters. Not only is the laptop too small for my taste, that touch pad thing is just a pain. I like having a mouse. Anyway... I finally got around to posting one of my obligations.

· One full size, 17 oz. bottle of Extra Virgin Olivari® Mediterranean Olive Oil
· One heavy duty Olivari® garlic press
· An Olivari® recipe card for Fresh Bruschetta
· VIP coupons for you to try other varieties of Olivari® including classic and extra light taste.

Amazing ARTOBIOGRAPHY Giveaway

Have you ever heard of ARTOBIOGRAPHY? If you're an artist, maybe you'll know what I'm talking about.
The Storm of the i: An Artobiography by Tina Collen is part memoir part scrap book, part portfolio and it is beautifully put together. It is a joy to look at but it is also a joy to read about this woman's journey to self-discovery.

The author, Tina Collen is giving away a signed copy of the book to anyone whose answer to this question she finds worthy:

"Oftentimes the objects we hold onto contain cryptic clues that point towards something deeper about ourselves. Take a look around your house (or your room) at the things with which you have surrounded yourself. Is there anything you are still hanging onto that seems to contain a hidden message for you? What do you think it is?"

Do you have objects that you are holding on to? Perhaps you have a book of stamps, shoes, old appliances, vinyl records, or karaoke machines stored in your basement or attic? Do they hold special meaning or contain a hidden message for you? Go leave your story on the Storm of i review on Found Not Lost and you might win a free copy of the book! It's really amazing. You'll enjoy it.

Win a Progresso Soup Gift Set

It's definitely soup weather again! I made chili yesterday. We had it with cheesy corn bread and it was just perfect!

I love cold weather for the soups! The thing is when it's cold outside, you don't need any fat burners even with all the rich foods you consume during this time. It just all burns away from all the shivering you're subjected to and carrying all that heavy clothing. lol!

If you'd like more delicious soups but just don't have time to make them, make sure you try Progresso soups. That's the only soup in a can that I buy regularly because they do taste almost like homemade!

We received these beautiful soup mugs along with a couple of cans of the new high fiber soup in the Chicken Tuscany flavor to sample. We already love the soups so I don't have to tell you more about that. What we absolutely raved over are these blue soup mugs that also came with branded soup spoons. What a treat!

If you'd like a set, we're giving a set away on our food blog. Go on over there and sign up for the Progresso Soup Giveaway.

This week's giveaway hop

Another week over and time for the giveaway hop!

This past week was a trying week I desperately needed some good news, but it was not to be. Instead, it seemed to get worse at some point even. I can't believe I even missed a doctor's appointment! I mistakenly read the appointment and showed up at the doctor's office a day late. Totally embarrassing! The good thing was, though, I ended up getting off from work early. Which turned out to be lucky because I ended up having to pick up and do errands for the girls after school.

So next week, it's dental appointments for them all. Luckily, there's no need for orange nj cosmetic dentist, just some run of the mill clean up dentist.

Now are you ready for some free goodies?

Giveaway Weekend

I'm always glad to see Fridays come around. TGIF! right? I love having the weekend to relax. Even though I don't always relax but end up doing errands, I just like the idea of being able to relax and do nothing if I chose to.

Weekends have also gotten to be time to check out all the giveaways going on in the blogosphere. I've already won several items and it's always exciting to get a treat in the mail. My girls have gotten to look forward to mail deliveries just to see what new treat they'll get to try out. Of course their favorite are the food products.

This weekend we have some chores to do first. Chores that have to do with the weather like weather proofing the house for the colder months, changing the air filters with a summer's worth of accumulated dust and who knows what else, and changing curtains and table cloths to a fall theme.

In the meantime, if you're ready to get started, check out the list of giveaways on our blogs on the Friday Giveaway Hop.

Here's to More Giveaways!

I've been lucky to be able to do so many giveaways lately. This is my latest obsession. Giveaways! Hosting them, and entering them. There's a gamut of prizes to be won online, from food items, books, gadgets, digital cameras and laptops. Why I even ran across a giveaway for an industrial computer!

By the way, I always link back to my giveaway winners. So if you’re a blogger, here’s another plus to you entering the giveaways.

Google Ban Scare

For us who blog on Google, there was a bit of a scare last week when some received a notice saying their blog was blocked or banned. I first heard about the mess from Brent, the owner of McLinky the blog hopping widget which I use on my blog. Apparently, they thought that McLinky had somehow violated Google terms because of the sudden spike to their site. Thus, Google banned McLinky and everyone displaying the McLinky code especially those hosted on Blogger which is owned by Google.

Brent sent one email after the other to his users, which I thought was nice of him to keep everyone informed (but some people took offense to the multiple emails), in a panic, he even requested for a defibrillator. LOL! I'm sure some of his customers with AED certification would have been more than happy to comply. Fortunately, it was all some kind of big misunderstanding. Apparently, it was Google who was under attack, by hackers and their ilk, and it has all been straightened out now and all is well in the blogsphere again.

Now if you like free stuff, head on over to my other blog and check out all the giveaways listed on the McLinky widget and enter.

Free Books!

I presently have two book giveaways going on and more to come. Come on to my review site and enter to win these books:

I am extending the giveaway for the book, Blue Like Play Dough by Tricia Goyer. You will have another week to enter so get on over there and leave me a comment or click the reTweet button. It’s that easy! It is really a great and inspirational book for every mom or mom to be.

I'm giving away 5 copies of OFF SEASON by Anne Rivers Siddons. This book is a love story about love and lost. “It is a story about those simple truths that often elude us, even when they are in front of our eyes, OFF SEASON explores the hidden places of the heart that continually surprise us.” - from the backcover

Enter these Giveaways for some Awesome Prizes!

I have been entering lots of giveaways lately because, well, it's just fun to get free stuff. You also end up discovering new blogs that you would never had found if you weren't entering the giveaways. I have been particularly on the lookout for giveaways that have digital cameras as prizes. My Kodak point and shoot camera that I bought at Circuit City a couple of years ago finally died on me and of course it ran out just as the extended warranty that I paid for also ran out. So now I'm without a camera :( blogging is just not the same without a camera to take photos with.

Anyway, I've been entering lots of giveaways as I said, so now it's my turn to give something away. Three things, as a matter of fact. Check out these giveaways on my blogs:

PANTENE FULL AND THICK REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY
Win a year’s supply of Pantene shampoo AND $100!

IVAREST SUMMER SURVIVAL KIT GIVEAWAY
I received free samples of the Ivarest Cleansing Foam and Ivarest Poison Ivy Itch Relief to try out. Visit our backyard and enter for a chance to win a set. You’ll be glad you have them when you need them.

BOOK REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: YOUR FAMILY CONSTITUTION BY SCOTT GALE
I just read this book and found it very helpful and insightful. If you have kids, this is a great book to read when your family is in chaos and you are at a lost to how to regain control. Read my review and get a chance to win a copy of the book.

Also, please help me out and comment on my post, Summer Activities for Teens. I’m in a contest for who gets the most comments
