Homeschoolers: Wanna win some Rosetta Stone!?!

Rosetta Stone has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers for a while -- next week they are unleashing a brand new curriculum, and you can WIN the *all new* Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3… FOR FREE!

This is a $219 program (and believe me it's worth every penny!) and the winner gets to pick from any of these 14 languages: Spanish (Spain or Latin America), English (American or British), Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Irish, Hebrew, or Russian.

This will also include a headset with microphone, and students will participate in lifelike conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program. Rosetta Stone still incorporates listening, reading and writing as well, in addition to speaking. Many homeschoolers requested grammar and vocabulary exercises, and with Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3, they're included! For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program and allow parents to easily enroll students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, and view and print reports.

To win this most excellent program -- in the language of your choice -- copy these (blue) paragraphs and post it in (or as) your next blog post -- then to enter the contest, go to the original contest page HERE: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JenIG/501132/ and leave a comment with the link showing where you blogged about it. And please make sure the link works to get back to the original contest page when you post it. And good luck! The winner will be picked randomly on March 26, and will be notified thru the link they left to their blog pg. And if you have more than one blog, you can post them and enter those separately for more chances to win. Yay for free stuff!

Bloggy Giveaways Carnival

Shannon over at Bloggy Giveaways is hosting a Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. There are 792 giveaways to sign up for as of right now, people! Amazing.

So, what am I giving away you ask? Well, my giveaway was born out of necessity. We all have Nintendo DSs here... and my 7 year old is constantly losing the "pen" to his. We tried many things to tie it onto his DS, but nothing was durable enough. SO I came up with these Nintendo DS Stylus Leashes. They are handmade by me from hemp and have glass beads. I thought I would draw a couple of random names and make them a custom leash. These will work for both Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite systems.

All you need to do to enter is leave me a comment on this post! Easy as pie! I will draw 2 random names on Monday, Feb.3rd. You don't have to have a blog to enter, just be sure that you leave me an email in your comment so that I can contact you. Oh and this is open to US residents only.... sorry.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will come back!

Edited to add:
For those of you who don't win the contest... if you are interested in these leashes, ya all might be able to gang up on me and sweet talk me into taking orders for them. :)

Tricks and Treats

Trick or Treat, Blogland!
From my little magician and his bunny rabbit.

I took the kids to Fall Family Fun at Calhoun Square here in Minneapolis on Sunday. It was fun. Pumpkin decorating, singing and dancing, trick or treating... all the makings for FUN! And it was all FREE, which never hurts the fun factor for Mommy!
So, now the real trick or treating goes on tonight. You know the tonight I mean. The low of 32° tonight. Ugh. Nice trick, Mother Nature. So I don't know what we'll do. Tyler is so looking forward to trick or treating with his baby sister on her first Halloween. I am thinking maybe we'll hit the Mall of America for indoor trick or treating. I don't know. I'll let ya know what we decide.

Until then though I have a treat for you!!
