I missed my 1 year blogiversary!

It was November 4th.   A whole year (and 5 days), wow. 

I have been super busy at my 'real job' - I work 40 hours a week outside the home.  So, even though posting is sometimes sporadic, I appreciate each and every one of you!

I have been thinking about making my blog a 3 column blog.  I have no reason to go to wordpress - I just don't blog enough - but, a 3 column blogger template may be cleaner.  Any thoughts?  I have been reading about it, and I am just scared that I will lose stuff...it's a dilemma...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that reads my little blog, and here's to another great year!

Care.com is free this weekend! And is having a November contest!

Check it out here: Care.com

More about it: Care.com is opening up its site to everyone for free.  From Friday, Nov. 6th through Sunday, November 8th, anyone can search for caregivers, post jobs, and get contact information. It’s a great opportunity to try out the site, post jobs, and find a caregiver.  This is only the second time they've ever done this, and it's to raise awareness for National Family Caregiver Month while giving families the chance to meet great, local care providers and screen lists of backup caregivers.  It's also a chance to see the great babysitters, nannies, senior caregivers, special needs care providers, tutors, pet sitters, and housekeepers they have on their service.

During the Free Weekend, all visitors to Care.com will get to experience the benefits of a premium membership to their service. Families can see full profiles for nearby care providers, contact them directly to set up interviews, check references, and request background checks for free!

I also wanted to let you know about a new contest Care.com is running in November.  Since November is National Family Caregiver Month, they are celebrating and raising awareness by calling all care heroes.  They want to hear stories about the people who have gone to great lengths to care for the people they love or work for.

Reminder! Make Time for Change with Frigidaire

Many of us have heard about, or experienced first-hand, the time-saving power of Frigidaire's incredible new appliance line. Now the brand is taking their commitment to mothers one step forward by partnering with an admired and philanthropic celebrity mom- Jennifer Garner.

Not only is Jennifer a huge fan of the time-saving features of the new Frigidaire appliance line, but she's teaming up with the brand to launch an incredible campaign for an important cause. Jennifer and Frigidaire are proud to kick off the "Make Time for CHANGE" campaign to support Save the Children's U.S. Programs, dedicated to making a difference for the smallest and most vulnerable Americans - children.

Frigidaire's new line of appliances, the largest launch in the brand's history, is designed with time-saving features for busy moms. While it's only September, we're asking Moms - and everyone who believes in the power of Moms - to think ahead to November 1st - the day all of us change the clocks and get an extra hour - and pledge to use that time to make CHANGE for children.

Starting today, for everyone who goes to Frigidaire.com and raises their hand with a pledge to make time for a child, Frigidaire will donate $1 to support the CHANGE program and Save the Children's work to help children in need in the U.S. And in addition to that fuzzy feeling you get from doing something good, everyone who pledges their time will be entered for a chance to win a new Frigidaire Professional double wall oven! Those in the market for top-notch new appliances should also know that, for every new Frigidaire Professional double wall oven sold, Frigidaire will donate $100 to Save the Children's U.S Programs as part of their $250,000 commitment to this worthy cause.

Go to Frigidaire.com now to take the pledge! 


*No compensation was received for this post.  I am just posting it on behalf of Mom Select for their campaign.  Thanks Mom Select! 

November Care.com contest!

Sabrina emailed this to me:

Starting on October 29, you’ll be able to nominate a caregiver who deserves to be called a Care Hero by visiting www.facebook.com/caredotcom and nominating them. Share their photo and a short story of why you think they should win, then get your friends involved in helping us choose the overall Care Hero—their comments on your nominee’s photo will help them win the contest!

At the end of November, we’ll choose a Grand Prize winner to be the 2010 Care.com Care Hero. The winning caregiver will receive a $500 "Care Package" including hotel stay, tickets to a show, and dinner on us. As a thank you, we'll also give you--the nominator--a $100 restaurant gift certificate to show our appreciation. Plus, we'll choose weekly caregiver winners who will each receive a $100 restaurant gift certificate. And if you nominated a weekly winner, we'll give you a free, 3-month Premium Membership to Care.com.

So come to Facebook, share a photo of your Care Hero, and tell us what they've done for you. And be sure to thank during National Family Caregiver Month!

A great cause - Hannah's Socks

Sometimes a charity comes along that started with a truly inspirational story, such as Hannah's Socks. During Thanksgiving 2004, four-year-old Hannah Turner in Toledo, Ohio helped her mother Doris serve food at a local homeless shelter. While there, she saw a man with holes in his shoes and no socks. Hannah asked her mom if she could offer the man her own socks. The next day, Hannah's mom took her to purchase and distribute socks to local shelters. They collected and donated over 100 pairs of socks around Toledo. Over the next two years, with the help of her Mom, family, and friends, Hannah distributed nearly 10,000 pairs of socks to shelters.  Since then, Hannah's Socks has collected over 100,000 pairs of socks for homeless and domestic violence shelters. Today, the organization kicks off the Hannah's Socks Holiday Sock Drive, to collect socks and funds for this year's upcoming winter and holiday season.

Inspired by Hannah's story, The Clorox Company became a sponsor of Hannah's Socks this season as Hannah's Socks strives to gather and donate 10,000 pairs of new socks to underprivileged children's programs as well as homeless and domestic violence shelters. Not only do I love the heart-warming message of this story, but also I find it provides a great way to teach our kids about simple, yet profound, ways to give back to those in need around us.

You can collect socks at home, school, work, or church for this great cause. Families can also donate funds and find out more about Hannah's Socks and the Holiday Sock Drive at www.hannahssocks.org.

Be sure to spread the word on Twitter with Tweets about Hannah's Socks by using the hashtag #HannahsSocks and to follow the charity on Facebook at www.facebook.com/hannahssocks and Twitter at www.twitter.com/hannahssocks.


Thanks to Mom Central for the info about this great cause!

SkitterCar giveaway! ends 11/16

Have you ever seen these fun little 'cars'?  My daughter and I played on them at the fair - she got on one, I got on another, we started wiggling the steering wheel, and away we went!  We were both giggling-they were so much fun.  When she got tired of it, I put her on mine with me, and we zoomed around.  The saleslady was surprised that my daughter caught on so quickly - we didn't give her any instructions, I guess it was just instinctual for her to sit down & start wiggling that wheel!  Anyway, these are tons of fun, and you can win one!
