$200 Amazon Blast giveaway

Image
A brand new giveaway is now open for all our valued readers! Get a chance to win $200 Amazon Gift Card. Only one lucky winner will be chosen on August 15, 2012.  You can choose to use the gift card in so many ways. I have a Kindle Fire and download a lot of free books, but there are a lot of books I want but can't afford right now. You can buy actual books, as well. They sell software and games for computers and game systems, as well as computers and game systems to use the software on.  One of my favorite kitchen tools is the Wilton Silicone Spoon Scraper . It's supposed to be used for scraping the batter out of the bowl when you bake, but I use it for stirring things when I cook. I use it all the time. And it's available on Amazon.com, along with a million other things you could choose from if you win. This event would not become possible without the participation of these amazing co-hosts: I Heart Giveaways , Zoes Printable Coupons , My Charmed Mom , Kee

A moving story: Part 8

Well, here we are. Or some of us, anyway. The bishop made arrangements for people to help us move the last of the stuff from the house, plus the mattresses he had in his commercial building, to the apartment. They were to be at the house at 9 a.m. Cayla had an appointment at 9:30, so we rushed out there, stayed for a few minutes and then went to her appointment. After the appointment, we went to the apartment, where the stuff from the house had been unloaded. We were leaving to go to the library to drop off my overdue (they had been packed!) library books when here come the helpers again. They had gone to the bishop's commercial building and brought our stuff. So Cayla and I stayed to help bring stuff in. I made a pizza for the missionaries, but it didn't turn out right and I couldn't figure it out. (Amanda realized later that night that the Pizzazz Plus was set on top only, not dual. Duh! I went to the library, dropped off the books and picked out three DVD sets (&

A moving story: Part 7

How long and drawn-out is this story? Well, it's not over yet ... But at 4 p.m. today, we sign the lease on the new apartment. Yay! Then comes the moving-in part, and I'm still not done with the house we're in. So lots of work left to do. I'm trying to move up the date for taking the cats to the shelter in Des Moines to tomorrow instead of Saturday, so maybe if people can help on Saturday, we can move in then. Otherwise, I'll work on the house Friday morning and take the cats on Saturday and we'll move in next week whenever we can get helpers. Part of my stuff is in a rented storage space, part is in storage in a commercial building owned by someone at church and there's still stuff at the house. Also, all this moving stuff has gotten me inspired to make a move with this blog that I have wanted to do for some time. I'm going to encourage people to go to one of my other blogs: A Wiser Steward . I haven't been actively updating that one, b

A moving story: Part 6

I had another title for this but it fell out of my head ... Stressful couple of days - I put a deposit on an apartment yesterday but I won't know until sometime today if we get the apartment. Most of our stuff is moved out into two different storage places - one of which I have no control over ... And I had to call the Animal Rescue League of Iowa in Des Moines - my sister will drive me there on Saturday (my next available day that they are open) to relinquish our girl kitties. I am crying. Amanda and I are sleeping here one last night, then we'll spend a few days at my mom's if we don't get the apartment I put the deposit on. We are allowed 10 days there per person per year. (Later) I suddenly realized that I had to get something mailed out today by 1 p.m., so I rushed into town to take care of it. I'm not crying now, but I imagine I will again. This whole situation is a bucket of stress and I'm carrying a measuring cup. I keep praying that the way wi
