It’s a Girl! {{P31 Whirlwind Carnival!}}
February 16, 2010 | Nurturing Family, Proverbs 31 Ministries
We’re celebrating Fat Tuesday in a whole different way at Proverbs 31 Ministries today.
Tons of giveaways! A carnival of amazing posts, prizes, and best of all lots of great new friendships.
I’m so glad you stopped by today. All of the Proverbs 31 team are celebrating something today. What am I celebrating? Let me show you…
Her name is Elle and she’s my first grandchild. Isn’t she beautiful? Elle will arrive on or around July 16, 2010. I can’t wait!
I stood in awe in the doctor’s office last week as I “saw” her for the first time. She moved her mouth. She fist pumped in the air. Her little heart beat in perfect rhythm.
I remember holding Leslie (Elle’s momma) in my arms 28 years ago. I was 22. Unprepared, but in awe of the little blond-haired, blue-eyed girl in my arms. I was totally in love with my young husband and this little human being. All I knew is that I wanted to be a good mom, to break the patterns that had gone on in my family for too many years.
I had no clue how to do that, but I trusted that my Heavenly Father would be there with me in the discovery process. And He was!
Being a mom continues to be one of the best parts of my life. It’s challenged me. It’s caused me to grow. It forced me to learn from the past so that I could unpack any unhealthy parenting baggage I might carry in.
Today I’m celebrating Elle’s impending birth by giving away a very cool Logitech Pro 9000 Quick cam. (Valued at $99.) It’s a must-have for Grammas-to-be, and for young moms who want to connect with Grammas and Grandpas that live far away.
Second prize is an autographed copy of my book, The Mom I Want to Be: Rising Above Your Past to Give Your Kids a Great Future.
How do you enter to win? Visit any one of the participating Proverbs 31 giveaway sites listed below (while you are there, enter for other prizes!) and come back and let me know which one you visited.
You get a second entry for any gramma-to-be tips!

I would love a webcam to talk with my daughter away at college, especially for her little brother that misses her very much! I have visited Lysa and Renee’s sites so far! I am planning on visiting more! Thank you for the give-a-way.
February 16th, 2010 at 8:13 amIt’s funny because I also have a daughter away at college that I would love to connect with visually, yet I would be just as happy to win the 2nd prize of your book. Lately I’ve been noticing that I’m carrying a lot of my upbringing into my relationship with my kids. Thanks for participating in the Carnival. I’ve been to Lysa, Renee, Micca and your websites and will end with Glynnis’.
February 16th, 2010 at 8:31 amI visited Micca’s site and Susanne Scheppmann and Lynn Cowell
February 16th, 2010 at 9:01 amGramma tips are valuable from both sides. Grandmas and young moms! What makes a ‘good’ or not so good grandma?
February 16th, 2010 at 9:08 amAwesome news! Congrats!!
February 16th, 2010 at 9:48 amAnything received would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for thinking of we your readers. Congrats with the addition to your family, may God continue to bless you and yours. Enjoy the day…
February 16th, 2010 at 9:54 amSUPER CONGRATS!!! You’ll love being a grandmother; how great to know that part of you is flowing through Elle.
My granddaughter is grown and an Au Pair in Switzerland. How much fun you will have watching Elle’s (beautiful name) life unfold as I have Heather’s. 
I can see your sparkling smile from Michigan.
Blessings, Nancy J Locke
February 16th, 2010 at 9:55 amWhat a beautiful picture. I have visited numerous sites and feel like a part of the “carnival”. Congratulations on your granddaughter. I didn’t get to have a baby until I was 36. I still enjoy my children – what a blessing from God.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:55 amYou are to LOVE being a grandma!!! My two yrd old little guy is so much fun, and like seeing life through fresh eyes again.
Unfortunately, we live 800 miles apart so a webcam would definitely be a plus
I’ve been to Lysa, Wendy P and you… still making the rounds out there 
February 16th, 2010 at 9:56 amI have visited all of the sites!! I am so very thankful to God for leading me to the Proverbs 31 Ministries web site. I could spend my whole day here! God bless!
February 16th, 2010 at 10:00 amCongratulations! Being a grandmother is wonderful – spoiling them and then giving them back to Mom and Dad.
Thanks for having this wonderful contest!
February 16th, 2010 at 10:06 amWow, the time has gone so fast since you told us at Momlogic! I can’t believe they’ve already named her, too!! As for my only tip, what is she going to call you? Are you grammy, grandmama, grandma, nana, what? I think it’s an important name.
I would love to win the camera. We are 3 states away from my family. My daughter is at college and my other daughter is going on her first mission trip to India this summer. I’d love to be able to keep up with them via webcam.
Thanks so much for this opportunity!!
February 16th, 2010 at 10:10 amUm, I visited all of them
February 16th, 2010 at 10:14 amBest advice Suz is to spoil her when you can but when she gets older be firm when needed. Just love her like I know that you will. Congrats I would love to have this webcam so that Justin can visit with his Grandma and Grandpa in Idaho.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:25 amI have visited Karen’s, Shari’s, Micca’s, Melanie’s, and Whitney’s and on my way to the others. What a great idea and what a great gift!
February 16th, 2010 at 10:25 amI went to Wendy Blight’s and whitney Capps… I plan on going to others when I am done here… thank u for sharing ur wonderful life.. I am a young mom as well I had our first daughter at age 18 almost 19…I am 31 now with 3 kids… my husband and I are high school sweet hearts and have been together since 10th grade.. so for 14yrs now.. WOW time really does fly..man, anyway I had a pretty rough childhood myself. I had a wonderful dad that went to school and worked alot to provide for us so he wasnt there much.. my mom however was the PREFECT example of the mother I DID NOT WANT TO BE!! Drugs and Alcogol consumed her(she is dying from the life long addiction now) I made a choice long b4 I conceived my first child that i would do everything I could to not be like her…thus far I have done well to not be, but I feel I may be a little on the extreme opposite…
)) I still struggle with the affects of being sexually molested by my older brother for 6yrs that I can remember, and of course the affects of my mom not being there. It has left a huge hole, no one has been able to fill EXCEPT GOD HIMSELF… and slowly he is closing the wounds and allowing it to be easier to speak about my past. Not to mention now that my mom is dying from the affects of her past CHOICES, she has turned to me to cling to…what kind of IRONY…:))) LOL… anyway thx for the opportunity to enter to win and to share in your life…GOD BLESS U!!!!
February 16th, 2010 at 10:29 amI have visited Lysa, Karen, and Sharri’s sites. These are all such great gifts! What exciting news too!

I would love the parenting book! I had my first baby boy five months ago! I spend many nights rocking him to sleep praying that God will work in his life as well as mine-making me a great mom and him a strong christian man! I love reading and think that this book would be fantastic! I have visited many of the other ladies sites as well! This is such a great idea! Thanks to all of your Proverbs 31 ladies!
February 16th, 2010 at 10:42 amOh, I would love a web-cam. With coffee in hand I have visited Tracie Miles, Karen Ehman, Wendy Blight,Sharon Brandel and Lynn Cowell and you.

Hi!
Awesome giveaway! And congrats on being a Grandmama-to-be!!! Wonderful!!!
I just visited Rachel Olsen’s blog and entered to win a Bible and a muffin cookbook!
We live 1200 miles away from my entire family! We have a 3 year old and a 7 month old – so that camera sounds fantastic!!! But so does that book!!!!!
Have a wonderful day,
February 16th, 2010 at 11:01 amKate
Oh my I would love a webcam…we moved from FL 2008 – 8 hours from grandma & grandpa, & Nana our children miss them…
February 16th, 2010 at 11:09 amAnd a copy of your book would be awesome,,my boys are 6 and under (4 of them)
God Bless
Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your first grandchild, what a joy! Thanks for such an awsome giveaway!
I am in the process of visiting ALL of the blogs just to check them out whether or not I register at everyone, this has been a neat “trip” and I’ve found alot of help along the way! 
Have a great day!
February 16th, 2010 at 11:11 amSuzie, congratulations!!! You’re going to be the best grandma.
What a great giveaway. Of course, I’m visiting all the sites. So fun connecting with all the P31 women!
February 16th, 2010 at 11:24 amummmm, i’ve almost been to all of them, Lysa, micca, shari, wendy, karen and planning on going to all of them. Love all you p31 girls and appreciate all that you do. Congratulations- New grandmother!
February 16th, 2010 at 11:26 amGod bless,
Renea H
Gramma or Mom tip – both are the same. Several years ago I went through a lengthy period of estrangement from my daughter which was based mainly in her rebellion. God taught me then to keep my mouth shut, love her & ONLY speak what HE gave to speak. Even now that we are reconciled and our relationship is healed I – keep my mouth shut, love her & ONLY speak what GOD gives me to speak.
February 16th, 2010 at 11:31 amI visited Lysa’s, Micca’s and Wendy’s but planning on going to more.
February 16th, 2010 at 11:34 amI visit Lysa’s daily and did so this morning. I am loving this carnival (not only for the amazing giveaways!) but b/c it is introducing me to all the other P31 ladies blogs! I just had my second child two months ago and would love the camera for not only the grandparents but for the great-grandparents (both sets of my grandparents live in different states and kids grow too fast for them to miss as much as they do!).
As for gramma to be tips: what comes to mind first is to ask the grandbaby’s parents before giving her sweets.
Or, even more seriously, enjoy every moment and your unique role as a grandmother- no one else can fill that role the way you can!
February 16th, 2010 at 11:41 amThe second best thing to being a mother is being a grandmother/Nana/Tutu…they are all blessings. Congrats and Enjoy.
I’m enjoying going to all the other ladies sites, even decided to revisit some of the others. I’m reading the Bible with Wendy this year and God is Blessing me daily.
February 16th, 2010 at 11:48 amslee/fl
What fun! I have been to Luann’s, Karen’s, Shari’s and yours. I hope to get to Renee’s, Micca’s, and maybe She reads. Being a gramma is great fun. I read somewhere recently that God’s gift to children is grandparents.
February 16th, 2010 at 12:13 pmMy gramma tip for today: if you will be babysitting this little bundle, check out the yard sales for great deals on baby gear, clothes, etc. (Beware of old cribs and car seats that may pose safety hazards.) It is very helpful to have your own baby carseat once the child is able to sit up.
How amazing! Seeing God’s work so upclose! Congrats again
February 16th, 2010 at 12:16 pmAfter reading you blog about your new granddaughter, I know now how I will feel the day my daughter has her first child. Congrats! I believe that for those of us that have suffered in some way with a child/parent relationship, God gives us an extra boost. I never knew my mother because she passed away when I was just 6 months old. I sometimes wondered what kind of Mom I would be since I did not have mine to show me. I relied on God at a very young age, and he has guided me through Motherhood. I couldn’t have had a better teacher. I know he has helped me become what my mom would have wanted me to be. God made me a better Mom than I would have been without him. I visited Micca’s website.
February 16th, 2010 at 12:23 pmI am celebrating with a new learned “dance of joy” after weight loss surgery. I’m learning to be healthy and to celebrate God’s gift of life.
February 16th, 2010 at 12:24 pmI am making my rounds to all the sites….usually get to read many of them daily anyway!
Grandma to be tip…..enjoy. I see how much I missed out on as a weary sleep deprived mother. I can hardly wait for grandchildren!

February 16th, 2010 at 12:26 pmCongratulations! How exciting.
Blessings,
February 16th, 2010 at 12:28 pmPearls
I am trying to visit all of the websites. So far I have went to 5. I am part of Wendy Pope’s Bible study. I think this carnival is a very cool idea.
February 16th, 2010 at 12:32 pmCongratulations! I’m due with our third child in July so I (and my parents) can rejoice with you!
And I’m visiting every site on the blog tour. What great giveaways! And a great way to find new encouraging blogs.
February 16th, 2010 at 12:33 pmI’ve been to quite a few but really like the necklaces on Zoe Elmore’s site.
February 16th, 2010 at 12:39 pmCongratulations!
February 16th, 2010 at 12:40 pmI linked to your site from Proverbs 31 … you are all such a blessing.
Thank you for that.
I am so excited for you! I visited Karen Ehman’s site, Wow! Have you decided what you are going to be called yet? Can’t give you any grandparent to be advice except KEEP THOSE PICTURES DATED AND ORGANIZED!!! LOL!!! and….always have batteries on hand all sizes all the time!!!
February 16th, 2010 at 12:57 pmI am visiting them all! I started with Renee’s!
February 16th, 2010 at 1:09 pmCongrats!!!!! on your first grandbaby!!!! This is sooooo exciting!!
thanks, lisa
that was me, i forgot to add my info! sorry =)
February 16th, 2010 at 1:10 pmWhat an awesome prize!
We are facing the possiblilty of moving across the country and this would be a wonderful way for my 2 little girls to stay in touch with their Nana & Poppy. Congratulations on the grandbaby. You are going to have so much fun!
I have visited most of the sites, but started with Lysa Terkhurst. She is a gifted writer!
Thank you!
February 16th, 2010 at 1:23 pmMy kids love going to “Granny camp”! We lived about 10 hours and 6 hours from both sets, so they enjoy their time together.
February 16th, 2010 at 1:39 pmI have visited Zoe, Charlene and Shari today. Also will visit Marybeth, because I like reading her blog!
First of all a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS for you and your family as you get ready to welcome a new little gift from God in July.
I started with visiting Karen Ehman’s site and have stopped over at Wendy Blight’s, Shari Braendel’s, Micca Campbell’s, Whitney Capp’s, Melanie Chitwood’s, Lynn Cowell’s, and now yours.
What a neat “Carnival” to visit.
Thank You!
February 16th, 2010 at 1:39 pmI have visted a bunch of sites already…Wendy, Micca, Karen, Whitney….
February 16th, 2010 at 1:44 pmCongrats on becoming a grandma! I have 2 little girls and my mom tell me all the time how much she enjoys just sitting back and watching me be a mom. She loves being a grandma and showering my girls with lots of hugs, kisses and love! Enjoy every moment of little Elle!
First of all CONGRATULATIONS!!! So far I have visited Lysa, Melanie and Whitney! I live in Charlotte with my husband and two children. My Entire family is in Ohio!! So my girls have a long distance relationship with their grandparents!! We usually see them twice a year, we are always thinking of creative ways to stay in touch. This would be Awesome!!!!
February 16th, 2010 at 2:01 pmCongratulations on the best celebration you could ever hope to have! That is simply the best!
Please enter me in your beautiful giveaway!
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
February 16th, 2010 at 2:03 pmA web cam is a WONDERFUL way for a gram to keep in contact with her multitude. if I win, I will give it to my mom to do just that.
God Bless
February 16th, 2010 at 2:06 pmWould love the webcam for my parents to see the grandkids more often.
February 16th, 2010 at 2:17 pmCongratulations on the new grand-baby! We do not have children (on this earth anyway), but have wonderful nieces and nephews we dote on…it must be the next best thing. We have seen them grow up from birth and the oldest will be 17 this year.
I do have a brother in the military that I would love to view from afar and would use the web cam for that!
Blessings to you in your ministry.
February 16th, 2010 at 2:19 pmI have been really wanting a webcam to connect with my twin sister who moved to Georgia because her husband is a Pastor. Times are tight and I have decided that is a luxury not a need. But it would be cool to win one! Thanks for the opportunity.
asamjones@embarqmail.com
February 16th, 2010 at 2:32 pmI had no idea there were so many Proverbs 31 blogs. I’ve been making my way down the list. So far I’ve been to Lysa’s blog, Wendy’s blog, Tracy’s blog, blog Zoe’s blog, and Rachael’s blog.
I would love to win this webcam. I have two children and both my parents and my in-laws live away. I would love for my children to be able to connect to their grandparents more frequently than they currently do.
February 16th, 2010 at 2:47 pmI’m in and I’d love to win. OOh, that even ryhmes! Love the baby pic. I’m due in Sept.
February 16th, 2010 at 2:57 pmWould love a webcam to keep in touch with family and friends who are either sick and can get out or live far away. Thank you.
February 16th, 2010 at 3:11 pmHow neat,your first grandchild! Congratulations Suzanne! I have seven wonderful grandchildren, the oldest two are three months apart. I was blest with my first granddaughter by my son and wife. Three months later my first grandson by my daughter and husband. God is so beautiful and knows how to bless His own.
February 16th, 2010 at 3:12 pmRita
I kept the ultrasound of my greatgrandbabies (only granddaughter’s first – twins) on my office door until they were born.
February 16th, 2010 at 3:21 pmLove the webcam. Will be stopping by all the P31 blogs today. The ultrasound is precious. I remember when I saw my daughter, who is now 13 first ultrasound, she was only a couple of weeks, and we called her smudge for weeks. Time has gone by so fast.
February 16th, 2010 at 3:26 pmI have a webcam. I don’t need to win it. But I do have some Gramma advice for you. Drink in every drop of time you can with Elle! I have 5 beautiful grandchildren, our youngest a boy. They are precious. You are blessed. Enjoy!
February 16th, 2010 at 3:29 pmThe webcam would be fantastic for our family, as most of our relatives live hours (or states) away.
I stopped by to visit Lysa, Karen and Wendy today (and a few others too).
I’m not a gramma (just a mom), but I’d like to offer some advice. Create special things that you and Elle can share together as she gets older. Our daughter makes “gingies” (gingerbread cookies) every year with my mom and she loves it!
February 16th, 2010 at 3:35 pmTo be honest, I’ve went to all of the websites today! I’ve crept back to the computer all day to read and comment on everyone’s blog. Congrats on your new grandchild! I’m sure you will be a fantastic grandmother! I have two children and their grandparents live far away! The camera would be perfect for staying in touch!
February 16th, 2010 at 3:47 pmI’ve been to several so far! I’m making my way through them all!
February 16th, 2010 at 3:59 pmThis camera looks great!
Congratulations! Babies are wonderful aren’t they?
)
I would love to have a webcam to visit with my mother-in-law (yes, mother-in-law) more frequently. We talk on the phone, text, etc., but it’s just not the same as seeing someone when you are talking!
As for who’s sites I’ve visited, so far I’ve been to Karen’s, Lynn’s, Micca’s and Whitney’s. I’m off to visit some more though!
in Him,
February 16th, 2010 at 4:02 pmTricia
Would love to win the webcam! CONGRATS!!!
February 16th, 2010 at 4:08 pmThis is awesome. I love getting to see everyone’s websites. I can’t wait to come back to them!
Nicole
nicole.harris11@att.net
Congratulations! What a beautiful picture.
February 16th, 2010 at 4:10 pmA webcam has been on my wishlist for a while. My parents, sister and brother all live in FL and we’re in CO. It would be great to have this as a way to see them when we talk – and they could “see” their grandchildren more often. As you know, they grow up too fast! Blessings!
February 16th, 2010 at 4:13 pmps!! I’ve visited Lysa’s, Renee’s and Glynnis’ sites so far!
February 16th, 2010 at 4:14 pmHi Suzie,
February 16th, 2010 at 4:15 pmMy first grandgirl was born last June and I have to tell you…I finally get it. There’s really nothing like being a grandma & you’re going to be a great one! I’m so excited for you & your family.
I pray His richest blessings on you all!
Hi Suzie,
February 16th, 2010 at 4:19 pmMy first grandgirl was born last June and I have to tell you…I finally get it. There’s really nothing like being a grandma & you’re going to be a great one! I’m so excited for you & your family.
We’re still trying to figure out what she’s going to call me…”Grandma, GiGi, Mimi, Gammy”…I don’t know, it will probably be “Abuela.”
I pray His richest blessings on you all!
Suzie, this is exactly why I entered your contest. I have a web cam and would give this to our daughter. She is a single mom with a three year old son. We could visit this way!!
February 16th, 2010 at 4:27 pmSo far I think I have been to Micca, Karen and Wendy Blight’s sites but plan on hitting more. You ladies have some great gifts and even better “stories” to share. Thanks for all you do!
February 16th, 2010 at 4:45 pmAs a grandma give the gift of a night out to mom and dad. They will need (and enjoy) to reconnect and recharge without baby sometimes! Don’t just do this once-do it many times!
I have been to many of the sites for giveaways including Micca’s & Lysa’s. Thanks for your giveaway as well!
February 16th, 2010 at 5:18 pmGod is good!…. as mom of 12 blessings, with 5 of them at home…
tada!
February 16th, 2010 at 5:37 pm7 live far away… one of them is Sergeant son in the Marines, based in Japan for 3 years with my daughter in-covenant and baby granddaughter.. the other 5 are still being educated at home… I am CELEBRATING the birth of my 10th grandbaby (#11 is on the way)…and my youth is renewed like the eagles… I wish my parents were still living to see the children..they are amazing!
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. I delight in being a homemaker and my Father loves me unconditionally.. and made me special
Congrats on your new little grand-blessing!! I would love a webcam in the home. My husband met his father for the first time about 2 years ago. My kids instantly fell in love with their new grandpa. However he lives in Georgia and we are in Kansas. So a webcam would be a nice way for the kids to “see” him. Another reason I would love one, is my grandparents, who I am very close to, travel alot. As a matter of fact they are leaving next month on a one month vaca, the longest trip yet. We will all missing them terribly and a webcam would allow us to visit while so far away. Thank you for your ministry!
February 16th, 2010 at 5:39 pmGod’s promises in the flesh! Know you’ll love this baby like crazy! I’m a six-times over grandmother. Each one is incredibly precious. Blessings to you and yours.
February 16th, 2010 at 6:02 pmI have commented on Whitney Capps: $30 Francesca’s Gift card. I would love the camera for my mom who is about to be a grandmother for the first time as well. What a special gift!
February 16th, 2010 at 6:23 pmCongratulations on the newest addition to your family.
February 16th, 2010 at 6:24 pmI have already visited Shari, Lysa, and Glynnis’ site. CONGRATULATIONS on your grandbaby.
February 16th, 2010 at 6:48 pmWould love to have a webcam. I have a niece who is going off to college, family and friends that live out of town and out of the country.

Congratulations on Elle. It will be a special time for all of you
February 16th, 2010 at 7:24 pmI’d love the book!! Congrats on the new little one! And thanks for sharing!!
February 16th, 2010 at 7:54 pmI’ve visited almost all of the sites. I love Proverbs 31 and am so excited about this opportunity to check out your blog sites. I have entered to win prizes on the following sites: Wendy, Shari, Micca, Whitney, Karen, and now you!
February 16th, 2010 at 7:58 pmI visited Whitney’s site for the $30 Francesca’s Gift card. Had no idea P31 had so many affiliated blogs. I’m loving it! Thank you!

February 16th, 2010 at 8:40 pmIsn’t it life amazing! When I first saw the sonogram of my grandson, even though you know it is real, it makes it all SO real and even more exciting! Thanks for sharing this blog and all the hard work you do for US!
February 16th, 2010 at 9:05 pmI have no grandma advice but I do have 3 little boys and both sets of our parents live away and I know all about keeping relationships going. I visited Lysa’s blog. Congrats.

February 16th, 2010 at 9:29 pmOh Suzie…..I’m so happy for you! God bless you all! Wonderful news!
I know you will be an amazing grandmother. It’s just a hunch! But I bet I can take it to the bank!
Good luck!
Advice?
Be a helper……don’t criticize how they parent!
February 16th, 2010 at 9:54 pmCongrats Ms. Suzanne!!! But you are SO not a grand to be.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:05 pmI’m celebrating my husband-to-be; we are to be wed on April 17, 2010. And God willing I, too, hope to celebrate giving birth one day.
I would love to have the webcam! The only family I have besides my husband and kids is my sister who lives 6 hours away. She just gave birth to my second nephew 2 months ago, so I would love to have this so that I can see the boys grow up and visit with her…even if I can’t see her in person.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:08 pmCongrats Grandma! I just became a first time nana 5 weeks ago. Jacob is wonderful! I’ve been to Lysa’s, Wendy’s, Karen’s, Whitney’s, Shari’s, Micca’s and am still making the rounds.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:22 pmI’ve visited Lisa’s and Karen’s and Micca’s and more!
February 16th, 2010 at 10:27 pmCongrats on the new addition to your family ! I would love to win the webcam to give to my mom so she can keep in touch with me sis and her family that live 19 hours away. So far I have visited Renee’s, Wendy B, and Karen’s but I plan to go to all the others.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:42 pmI have hopped around all day to all the P31 blogs. It has been a good way to spend another snowy day. A nice way to be inspired by all of you wonderful women, thank you! Congratulations on your beautiful blessing!
February 16th, 2010 at 10:49 pmCongratulations on your summer blessing to be! I’ve visited the following websites so far: Renee, Wendy, Shari, Micca, Whitney, Lynn, and Karen. Hope to squeeze a few more in before the evening is out. Great getting to know you P31 gals better!
February 16th, 2010 at 10:56 pmCongratulations!!!!!! Babies are so magnificent!!! I’m not a grandmother but my tip would be to be there for your daughter as I’m certain you already are. I know it means the world to me that my Mom is there for me & my boys & the love I see her give to my boys blesses my heart so much. I’ve been over to Karen’s blog, Renee’s, Rachel’s, Micca’s & so on & so on! Love to you and your family!
February 16th, 2010 at 10:57 pmI’m trying to get to most of the sites in the carnival giveaway. What fun!
February 16th, 2010 at 11:07 pmI’m interested in the webcam to start some interactive elements to my website!
Thank you!
I went to Karen’s blog and the She-reads, for starters. This would be great – I’d love to share it with my parents, giving mom a way out of her house where she cares for my invalid father.
February 16th, 2010 at 11:40 pmCongratulations. I hear that being a Grandma is great. My mom just loves it. I have visited Karen, Lysa and Zoe’s blogs. What a great thing all you girls are doing!! You have an incredible ministry that touches so many women. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
February 17th, 2010 at 12:11 amI have visited Lynn’s website.
Congratulations Grandma!
February 17th, 2010 at 1:19 amWhat a great prize and congratulations to you!
February 17th, 2010 at 1:49 amWow! I would be so blessed by this! I had my first child at 20 and my mom lives in Dallas, TX. I live in Hawaii. I had a lot of issues coming into motherhood but the Lord is healing me and I know He is protecting my children. I am now 28 and i have three children. The Lord is good!
God Bless Grammie to be!
February 17th, 2010 at 2:13 amI visited Lysa TerKeurst’s site and entered her contest. I would love to win her book, “Am I Messing Up My Kids?” because I often wonder if I AM messing up my kids.
I’m not a grandma yet, but I know my mom loves her grandchildren to pieces! Enjoy!
Thank you.
