It’s finally here. The Fall Y’all bloggy giveaway.
You may have noticed that I do not have my giveaway up yet. Sorry. Tonight or tomorrow. I have an announcement that I will be making along with my giveaway and it is not quite ready. Ooh, mystery!
In the meantime, go check out all the great giveaways!
I was reading this post about Go-Gurt’s new Fizzix and the kids said they have been wanting to try it. Luckily, the first 8 people to link to Contest for Moms and the mom blog can get coupons to try it free.
The only thing better than a vacuum that doesn’t lose suction, is a pink vacuum that doesn’t lose suction.
Especially, when purchasing said pink vacuum helps fund breast cancer research - and 5 Minutes for Mom is giving one away!!
Dana has a great post up today called, “A Homeschooler’s Guide to Unhappiness.” I highly recommend it.
I know you are all busy reading this week’s carnival, but if you are looking for some other links to read, here are a few things I found interesting on the internet this morning.
A great perspective on balancing the needs of a special needs child with those of our other children - The Myth of Equal Time.
A great post on Marcy’s Musings about Homeschooling Ups and Downs, with inspiration from Proverbs.
And a new (to me) blog, Old Earth Creation Homeschool, has some interesting and thought-provoking posts.
This is amazing!
A mom of 6 was auctioning a pack of Pokemon cards that her kids snuck into her grocery cart. On the auction, she told the story of her trip to the store. It is great! So great, that people were e-mailing it around and she ended up getting 179,257 (as of this posting) hits on her auction.
She was also asked if she has a blog. She does. She posted the URL on her eBay auction and she ended up with 77,000 hits in one day!
Her grocery store story was a joy to read. I am looking forward to reading more on the blog.

The Carnival of Principled Government is up over at Principled Discovery.
That reminds me, I’d like to do an entry for that one of these days.
The Carnival of Principled Government is up at Principled Discovery.
We are back from our weekend trip, but things have been very hectic here this week, so I have not had time to post. I am hoping to get some stuff up tonight.
In the meantime, make sure you check out this week’s Carnival of Homeschooling - it’s Homeschool Roadtrip time at Consent of the Governed.
Thanks for stopping by!
Speaking of government, I just found this humorous link via Vermont Tiger:
The discovery of the heaviest chemical element yet known to
science. The new element has been tentatively named
Governmentium.
Governmentium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75
deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving
it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held
together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by
vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
There’s more.
