Today is the first day of Spring Break for my kids. Which means that Kaitlyn woke up at 7:15, she stands up in her crib and calls out “Open. Open. Ohhhh-pen” until someone goes to get her. And the boys actually slept in, the bums. So I got up, made a pot of coffee, whipped up boxed pancake mix, and started my day. I’ve written so many posts over the last few days, I want to recap what’s been going on for readers that are just now joining us:

1. A sponsor is giving away a $200 American Express gift card to be used for college expenses, it’s NOT an April Fool’s Day joke, here’s the link to the post.

2. I am collecting donations to be given to another blogger who is dealing with her third bout of cancer, and wants to take her girls to DisneyWorld. The PayPal donation button in the post goes directly to the fundraising page, she will get 100 % of what is raised, and if you don’t have a PayPal account, you can still click the Donate button and use a credit card. Here’s the link to that post.

3. We had an unexpected furnace repair that cost (after disputing the charges) $518, and I had to use the money I was saving to pay for BlogHer. Yesterday, BlogHer announced a contest, the winner gets free roundtrip airfare, conference pass, and two days’ accomodation. It’s pretty much my only chance to go. I need to be nominated by people who think I demonstrate “passion, innovation, and the ability to inspire a community”. If you want to nominate me, I hope you know how grateful I would be. Here’s the link to the nomination page, you do not have to sign up for the Blogher website to nominate someone.

If you haven’t visited those three posts yet, I would sure appreciate you taking the time. Like a commenter said, I think of us as a community, as a family. Any of you can count on me for anything I have to give, any time. Thanks for spending some time reading this today!
