There are more fun giveaways coming next week too, so stay tuned (and subscribed)…
This week’s Contest Round-Up is up over at the other site as well. And don’t forget to check the Contests page during the week – there are some pretty awesome giveaways happening around the blogosphere so you don’t want to miss out on your chance to enter any of them!
Some interesting posts I read this week on other sites include:
- How to use Twitter Search to stay up-to-date on tweets about any particular subject, over at Blogging Tips. And also a post on how to add a ‘welcome message‘ above your posts if you use Blogger.
- This post on the Top 10 Ways iPhone Makes Parenting Easier over at Skimbaco Lifestyle is just one more thing that makes me really, really wish I had an iPhone!
- The next blogging platform discussion over at Blogging Basics 101 – this time all about WordPress.
- Carrie over at Three-Girl Circus is having a boy – after three girls! I’ll have to let Ron know that it’s possible, lol.
Stop by and wish her the best! - For those of who aren’t at BlissDom ’09 this weekend in Nashville, don’t forget to follow everyone’s Tweets to keep up with what’s going on! If you use TweetChat, it’s easy to follow the action by entering #blissdom09.
Having yet another low-key weekend, I think. And enjoying the ‘above freezing’ temperatures that are in store – woo hoo! Hope you all have a great weekend!

I found a good link. At Riddle Me you can buy a software program for $20 that allows you to print off scavenger hunts and treasure hunts appropriate for your kids ages.
I’m not associated with the folks that make this. I’m always looking for cool stuff for kids to do and I found this when I was searching for a game for my 14-year-old’s birthday party. I tried it, and 11 teenagers, boys and girls, had a great time last Saturday night!
