WINNERS ! ! !

Hello All!!! I hope that you have had a nice and enjoyable Mother's Day. Before I announce the winners, I wanted to share a quote that I heard this week and found inspiring.

"The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers
exist for one purpose only - and that is to support the ultimate career."

C. S. Lewis

GIVEAWAY ! ! ! !

Yes, it's my first GIVEAWAY ever!!!!! I have a few extra copies of a book that I just read and LOVED and I wanted to share them with someone, so what better way than to do a GIVEAWAY !!! I don't think this will be a usual occurrence, but I love when other bloggers do them and so I thought I would too.

I just finished reading an amazing, inspirational tale of womanhood. I ordered a few of these little booklets ( only 26 pages) from the site Love To Learn . I sign up for their email specials and every so often they have some great books and deals. The booklet is called, When Queens Ride By written by Agnes Slight Turnbull in 1888. I had never read it before, but their description of the story got me hooked and so I ordered a few. Here is what they say about it:

"I have re-read this treasure countless times during my 33 years of marriage to help me remember how important it is to be the wife and mother God wants me to be! This charming, touching story will make you want to put a tablecloth on the table, brush your hair, and put on your lipstick right now. "

So back to the GIVEAWAY !!! I will give 2 people their very own copy of this great, uplifting tale. To enter, please leave a comment to this post about a characteristic of great womanhood that has inspired you and who inspired it. Good luck and I look forward to reading your comments and being thoroughly enriched!

The winner will be chosen at random ( this means I will put all the names in a bowl and let my 2 year old pick them out. That's random, right?) I will post the winners on Sunday, May 9th (that's right on Mother's Day). Make sure you leave an email so I can get a hold of you. So check back and Enjoy !!!!
