This is my first year participating and I’m really looking forward to making new friends, finding new great reads and maybe winning a prize. Speaking of prizes, I’m giving away four of them! Here’s my listing:
4 – A total of four prizes! Three different pairs of earrings to three different entrants and one show stopper bracelet.

I’m number 4 on the U.S. Continental list. Click here for the whole list of prizes.
So much fun right?
So click here and join the party.
If you’re here from the party, welcome! I’m Christine and I’m a homeschooling, jewelry designing, adventure seeking, picture taking, gadget loving, blog writing, foodie, up for (almost) anything Mom about town. I have so many interests that at times I may seem scattered, but eventually I get back around to what I was doing.
I have two great kids a girl who’s 12 and a boy who turns 15 on Sunday (11th). I’ve been married since 1993 and while originally from Long Island, New York, I now live in beautiful Ocala, FL – the Thoroughbred Capital of the world and home to John Travolta (hi John!).
I’ve been blogging since 2002 and can’t imagine what my life was like before I overshared every aspect of my life… :silly:
While you’re here, please grab a recipe get some homeschooling advice or get your geek on with me and I’m so glad you stopped by!
Leave a comment with a link and I promise to return the visit.
Reach Out! I’ll Reach Back. 
*Update: I just saw a great tip for all the blogger participants from Robin
Oh, and one party tip that might be helpful: whatever your number is when you register with Mr. Linky, let the last digit determine the blogs you visit (i.e., if your number is 124, visit all blogs whose Linky number ends in “4″). This is a small way more blogs might be visited–you won’t be hitting the first 20 (or 100 or 1000!) and wearing out so soon!
*Updated again! (See a trend?): Here’s the list of the prizes that I covet.
17 (US and Can)- With the upcoming release of their iphone app in the next few weeks, CmomGo is offering up a $200 Apple Gift certificate. For moms that do not currently have an AT&T contract and have wanted that Iphone this will cover the cost of a 16Gig 3GS iphone with the signup of a 2 year contract with AT&T. For our moms that already have an AT&T contract with a different phone this can be used towards the purchase of a new iphone or it can be used for anything else at the Apple store! Our friends from CmomGo sure hope you use it for an iphone though!

14 (US Cont.)– Two winners will get 10 Free Custom Bumper Stickers to help promote your blog, business or family.

15 (US and Can.)– $50 Target gift card to one winner.
