Heading out soon

Hey everyone! Just wanting to remind  you that this blog will be silent for the next week as we enjoy a little time off on the 3rd Annual Low Carb Cruise. I’ll be learning, taking photos and video, so I’ll have plenty to bring back for you.  And it will be a nice little getaway for hubby and I – grandma and grandpa will be here with the kids. So have a great week and I’ll see you when I get back! :)

New Fan Page on Facebook

Hey everyone! I’m having some blog issues here on the editing side of things. I’m trying to get them working but so far I’ve gotten pretty much no where. Hopefully I’l have it figured out soon.

I did want you to know that I’ve started a fan page for this blog in facebook, for those that are interested. If you are on facebook and would like to join, we’d love to have you! Come and see us here!

Winners of the 3rd Annual Great Start Giveaway!

Hooray! It’s finally time to announce the winners of all those fabulous prizes I’ve been telling you about. And it’s also finally time to tell what those crazy pictures really are!

Before we get started, I want give a HUGE thanks to all the people who generously donated prizes for this giveaway. The generosity of these companies and people never cease to amaze me. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all for your contributions. I also want to thank all my wonderful readers, who are the reason  I do what I do. Without you there would be no reason to do any of this – and wow would I be bored! :) You all are awesomesauce!

Ok, so time to tell you what those crazy pictures are. Let me say that you all are too smart for me. I tried to make these a little tricky. There were many who got ALL of them right! And the rest of you came really close! I think we had the highest percentage of correct answers this year that we’ve ever had.  You all should give yourselves a pat on the back for such great skills! Look at the captions below each photo for the answers. (Click on the photos to see a larger version.)
