Blog Love

Book Lung is hosting a fantastic giveaway with lots of fun ARC’s and other book bling.  Go check it out, admire and enter! 
I don’t really need any new books on my stacks but they all just look so interesting! 

And here’s what’s happening in my world:

My son is struggling with school work. It is very difficult to help your children through the rough spots other than just  love and patience.  I could run out of patience any day though…

My daughter, after watching The Little Princess, has decided to be our maid.  She is now upstairs cleaning her room-as the maid-not as herself.  She refuses to clean her room as herself except now somehow it is fun as a maid.  This is me, throwing my arms up in confusion. 

On Friday I have a reading conference to go to and I’m pretty excited as thee Marc Brown is the guest speaker.  My kids love, love, love the Arthur books.  No kidding.  The college teenager would have like to have been home for this event.  She would have stood in line to shake his hand.  Brown meets with several school groups at my son’s school tomorrow so my husband and Groovy Girl are going so we will have lots of signed Arthur books.  Imagine when college student girl opens up a package from us and a Marc Brown book falls out.! 

Now I have to finish typing so I can read another hundred pages in The Glass Castle-my book club book, which needs to be finished by Sunday night.  I can’t spend the weekend reading though because I have to CLEAN my house-which is close to a pig sty!

Oh, and I went to yoga tonight so I was feeling centered until Chemistry problems clashed with my son’s brain:(

Hope your day is blissful~

BlogFest 2010

     Way back, oh so many weeks ago when we were still in the heat of the summer, I signed up to participate in Cinnamon’s BlogFest 2010 Big Giveaway.  That was when September loomed far in the future and whoop there it is, smack in my lap-September 10th!

What is BlogFest? (from a Journey of Books)

BlogFest is a massive carnival of giveaways with a great collection of participating blogs. Each blog has a giveaway and the idea is to hop from blog to blog, entering all the giveaways your little heart desires. Hopefully you might even come across a few blogs you might want to bookmark and continue visiting.

My giveaway is a brand-new and unopened copy of Food, Inc,  Michael Pollan’s Food Rules; An Eater’s Manual and a copy of Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Home.  All very green and eco-friendly prizes.
