Please Vote For My Niece!

My niece – my eldest sister’s 11 year old – is a finalist in the 5 Minutes for Mom Yoplait Drawing Contest!  Isn’t that exciting!?

Since she is a finalist she needs lots of votes.  Would you please help?  Go to this page and vote for number 12. Scroll down past the pictures for the poll. Make sure you check number 12 titled “From Weak to Strong.” You don’t have to register, give your name, or do anything but a few clicks of your mouse.

They have homeschooled my niece since kindergarten and this would be a tremendous blessing to them if they win the $1000. So please go vote for number 12 and tell your friends! Thank you so much! My mother thanks you, my father thanks you, my sister thanks you, my brother-in-law thanks you, my niece thanks you…

Strong and Happy Kids Drawing

5 Minutes for Mom is hosting a kid’s drawing contest for Yoplait yogurt. I can only submit one drawing and I had no idea which child’s drawing to use so I gave them a poster board and let them all draw.

Here’s the link for the HP TouchSmart 600 – Giveaway & Contest.  Tell them Jendi sent you!

Deadline is December 1, 2009!

Hope I Win!

I’ll let you in on one of my secret wishes. Well, not so secret, but it sounds more fun that way.

I would love to have a home page when you go to jendisjournal.com with links to this blog, my Jendi Jean Bags, a future garden blog, and possibly farther in the future a review blog.

I dream big.

So I’ve entered Kailani at An Island Life’s contest for a new blog design by The Diva. This post enables me to get another entry.

She is a very new designer, but a couple things caught my attention.

  1. She’s looking for WordPress users. That’s me!
  2. She did a page with links to her blog, portfolio, etc.

Wish me luck!

A shot that is “Motherhood” to me:

Taking time for a kiss

It was a typical evening at home. Supper was over, I was doing dishes, the kids were playing, and my hubby was playing with his camera.

My youngest always keeps track of me so she was going back and forth between the toys and my skirt.

One of the times she came and tugged on me I picked her up with dish soap wet hands and gave her some kisses.

Motherhood for me is every day, 24/7, good hair or messy, wet or dry hands, busy or not busy, with kisses and hugs sprinkled throughout.

All the contest info is here at 5 Minutes for Mom.
