Christmas Shopping Carnival

November 12, 2007

Update: I’m so sorry! There have been some new Mr. Linky software glitches. Apparently Typepad users have to have his widget in exactly the right spot on their sidebar (it’s invisible) or the Mr. Linky won’t work. So much for putting everything on auto-pilot! I’ve fixed the problem now. Please come back by and post [...]

Take Two: New Button for Holiday Shopping Carnival

November 6, 2007

I’m new to the carnival thing. I’ve hosted a few, but, really, they’re always by the seat of my pants. I’m no Queen o’ Carnival, but I’m learning and that’s half the battle. So here’s the deal. I don’t think the original button was conveying the true intent of the carnival–it looked and read more [...]

Holiday Shopping Carnival

November 3, 2007

Well, now that Halloween is past, I suppose I’ll start thinking about what to do about Christmas. Yes, I know there’s a holiday stuffed (I’m so punny) in between these holidays, but really, you know we’re all thinking about Christmas and what to buy or make for our loved ones. I have several people on [...]

Another Dyson!

October 29, 2007

For the love of clean floors everywhere, I am really hoping I win this pink Dyson. Shannon had one to give away few weeks ago and I didn’t win. I offered her $100 and said I’d take her used purple Dyson and give her the new pink one. No go. Sadness ensued. Maybe this is [...]

40 20 Before 40

October 9, 2007

My cousin, Green3, is hosting a carnival today. She’s asking you to dig deep and list forty things you’d like to accomplish before you turn 40. Even if you’re over 40 you can still play. You can change the number to 50 or 60 or whatever. I’m going with 40 because it’s fewer things to [...]

Children’s Chore Carnival

September 12, 2007

Chores and allowance are two things that we just can’t seem to get a handle on at Casa de Chili. For the most part, I confess, the cleaning and cooking are up to me. Husband works and pitches in around the house (he cleans bathrooms, toilets, and takes care of all things outside). The kids? [...]
