Meeing lots of great gals round the world & oh so cool ideas, gadgets & just plain cute stuff. I found a great giveaway PLUS an opportunity to support a breast cancer awareness! Check out La Vie de Lauri!
AND please don't forget to hop over to Vicks Caring Tributes contest to vote for my Gracie cakes TLC story. We're 1 of 8 finalists vying for a $10,000 prize package! Thanks in advance for helping out a fellow blogger mom!
Hey...one more thing. I shared the Lion Chaser's Manifesto last year on my blog & it might even be in my layout somewhere, but with all of you AMAZING women visiting my blog...I wanted to share it with you. Written by pastor Mark Batterson, author of "In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day." It's well worth sharing, posting, shouting & embracing:
Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set
God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Consider the lilies. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshipping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze a new trail. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away. Chase the lion!
Have lots of fun in all your bloggy party play!

Thanks for coming over to my party! This is my first one and I'm really excited about finding fun new blogs to visit!! I voted for you and Grace at VICKS.com!! Good luck :-)
HI, so nice to meet you! I've enjoyed my visit and hope to come back by soon. I love this statement from "Chasing the Lions" -- Set
God-sized goals. So very good.... we too often sell ourselves short on our goals because we don't look to God and what He can do if we seek Him.
Enjoy the party!

Nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by my place earlier! I tried to go to the Vicks thing, but for some reason our network here at the school has been blocking a lot of stuff lately...heck...I am suprised I can still visit my blogger friends!!! It probably won't be long though...so I guess I need to move on to get some more partying in!!!
Have a great day!
