Book Reviews by Ehlen Administration

I'm very excited about my newest score in the in online winnings dept. There's a blog called Leslie Loves Veggies that routinely has multiple giveaways going on all the time. Not sure how Leslie keeps up with it, but I'm sure happy she does! It's one of those blogs that always has upwards of 300 comments on each post because everyone wants to be a winner, so while I do enter periodically I never think I have a chance of winning, given the number of entries. But guess what - I WON! And I won a big one too - well big for our family anyway. We've been considering getting David a bike, since he does so well with the big wheels and tricycles that he plays with at home and at grandmas. Now those of you with small children know that while bikes are great, they are expensive, and particularly when kids are little and growing fast it's hard to keep up with a lot of expensive toys and equipment. That's why I'm so excited to win a Glide Bike! We're getting Dav...

Well I'm happy to report that I think I have actually received everything I won! Shocking, I know. But I got the CD (which David has been listening to constantly - we moved the CD player into his room), the expensive shoes for this fall, the flag t-shirt - Brazil, btw - will be su re to take a pic of him in it and send to all my Brasilero friends - and my Mommy Needs Coffee shirt. And, I even got a prize I didn't know I had won, a set of two books from ChristianBook.com called Echoes From The Edge by Bryan Davis. They were autographed too. Pretty cool. You know I love me some ChriFi. Now if I could just dig up some time to read them. Keep a look out on this blog and my Facebook page for pics of the cute kids, we had our meeting with the Our 365 lady today, and as usual they are all phenomenal. Having photogenic children is quite expensive, I must say.

So I actually have won a couple contests recently, and I should give them a shout out. First was something for David, but probably not until he's a little older. I won a t-shirt that you can color in the picture, and then it washes out so you can recolor it before wearing. David's not into coloring yet, so I got a larger size, because I'm sure this will be way cool pretty soon. The shirt is from Color in Kids , and we got the Race Car one. I won this off a blog, but I can't find the email so I can't remember which blog contest it was (I enter LOTS) but when I find it, I will properly credit, I promise. The second thing I won recently was subsequently gifted to my mom. I *think* I won it off the In Touch magazine contests, but I'm not positive about that. Anyway, it's from Freeze 24-7, and it's the Freeze & Go Instant Smoother and Brightener . I'll let you know what mom thinks of it, but I thought the red packaging stuff was super cool looking. ...
