Kristy at Mommy in Pink! She left a comment that she has a four-year-old who is teething, so she'd probably appreciate this a lot!
So congratulations, Kristy!
And for the rest of you, remember that every month I award a free book of my own to whichever blog owner sends me the most new visitors. You're too late for November, but if you add me to your blogroll now, you have a good chance for December!
Now, onto some other stuff.
Jennifer at Through the Storms of Life gave me an award earlier this month! I appreciate it, and I'm sorry I never got around to writing a post on it!
Here's what it says:
This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his/her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values every day.
And now I get to nominate ten women in return! I'm going to pick an eclectic bunch: some moms, some worship leaders, some political blogs, just to give you a variety.
So here they are, in no particular order:
I love Terry at Breathing Grace. She's always so thoughtful, and she bases everything on Scripture.
Cheryl at Lifestyle of Worship has such thoughtful posts up on what it means to lead worship, to worship in church, and to worship in everyday life. And she's a friend. A good one. But she moved away. But I'm not bitter.
Suzanne at Blue Wave Canada writes such great posts on pro-life issues. She's coming at things from a political point of view, but I appreciate her!
Meredith at Like Merchant Ships has the best blog about saving money. And the video she posted about consumerism at Christmas has become one of my favourites. I've shown it to everyone this week, and my pastor's even playing it in church tomorrow! So thanks for the heads up, Meredith!
Dawn at Because I Said So is a personal friend whose doing just amazing! She writes the funniest posts, and has a new book coming out that you all just have to get!
Sarah at Life in the Parsonage writes so honestly about being a pastor's wife. It's great!
Of course I have to mention Homeschool Blog Awards, since I occasionally contribute! If you're a homeschooler, this is a must blog to visit!
Kelly at Love Well has many great craft posts, and other typical mom ones that are thought-provoking and funny.
And finally Tracey at Grace Comes by Hearing I have to nominate because her adopted baby is arriving any day now!
Whew, that was a long list. But visit them! They're my friends. Now have a great weekend!
I'm having over a dozen teenage girls over today to watch Sense & Sensibility and Emma (1996) and I have a sore throat and a headache coming on! So pray for me!
For those of you who didn't win, here's two other ways to be entered in a contest:
Next week, starting on Monday, I'll be offering Marla Taviano's book One Diaper at a Time for free! She's stopping by for an interview, and we're going to have a great time!
But I also have an ongoing contest, too. And it's really easy to enter! If you have a blog, simply add To Love, Honor and Vacuum to your blogroll. I track where all my visitors come from, and at the end of each month, I mail one of my books to whoever sent me the most new visitors! And I never give to the same person twice. So you could be a winner for November, or if you blog roll me soon, for December.
First, don't forget my awesome shirt giveaway! It ends tonight, so sign up in the comments!
And on Tuesday, I'm going to be giving a LIVE talk on Honey, I Don't Have a Headache Tonight over the internet!
It's FREE, and you can win three of my books just by registering!
November 25, 4:00 p.m. EST. Be there and laugh with me as we talk about the problems when he wants to start snuggling, you want to start snoring, and you never seem to agree on sex.
We're going to have a great time! And if you've wanted to learn more about the book, but you haven't bought it yet, this is a great one to listen in on! It's not hard, either. Just go here and all the instructions are there for you!
So I was just sitting around my inbox one day, minding my own business, when Tracy Brown from Peace Love Mom came by and asked if I wanted to give one of her thermal Mom shirts away.
And I said, "Sure!". Because I know how you all love free stuff!
So here we are!
Tracy believes in celebrating motherhood. And she thinks that most moms would be proud to advertise their momhood--as long as the kids aren't screaming in Wal-mart at the time!
Her shirts are supercomfy and stylish! You can buy regular Ts, tanks, thermal long-sleeve Ts, fuller figured Ts, and even babywear!
Here's one saying "Lucky Mom":
A Peace Love Mom tank:
A Balanced Mom--my favourite!
Passionately Mom (probably goes along well with Honey, I Don't Have a Headache Tonight!):
And here's what you'll win!:
All you have to do is go on over to Peace Love Mom, decide what shirt you like best, and then come back here and leave your answer in the comments! I'll do a random drawing at the end of the day on Friday. So get to it!
Thanks for visiting! Why not stay and look around a bit? I've got great posts on mothering, marriage, and more!
About Me: I'm a Christian author of a bunch of books, and a frequent speaker to women's groups and marriage conferences. Best of all, I love homeschooling my daughters, Rebecca and Katie. And I love to knit. Preferably simultaneously.
Stumble It!
. And the winner of that book is:
