Angie January 31, 2008 at 5:19 pm: I would love to receive “Passionate Housewives Desperate for God”. Sometimes in the middle of ALL that I have to do, I stop and think, “WHERE is my relationship with God???” Why am I struggling to fit Him into my day, even though I REALLY want to. I WANT a close passionate relationship with Him, and yet I can’t ever seem to find the time to schedule Him into my day. Shouldn’t it be “God, I give my day to you…I begin it with you, I end it with you; and oh yeah, let’s talk throughout the day!”
Mama Mindy January 31, 2008 at 5:18 pm: I would love to read “Don’t Make Me Count To Three…”. I just had my first baby and at three months old she’s already a back-archer. Eek! I need this book. :)
Thanks!
Anelys January 31, 2008 at 3:45 pm: I would love the DONT MAKE ME COUNT TO THREE book!! It looks like a great book, and I do need some ideas with this 3 little ones at home!!!
Tanya January 31, 2008 at 3:12 pm: The Green Kitchen Handbook because I’m continuing in my endeavor to become “greener” each year. This year I’m continuing to phase out harmful cleaning chemicals and put in a large garden. :)
Beth January 31, 2008 at 3:06 pm: I’d love the book on square foot gardening because I’ve always wanted to be the neighbor who stops by with a basket full of tomatoes and peppers to share!
Lydia January 31, 2008 at 2:57 pm: Hi!
Thanks for offering your book giveaway. I am most interested in Dave Ramsey’s book, “Total Money Makeover.” When I first heard of it on another blog I thought it sounded terrific.
God bless you and yours.

Beth January 31, 2008 at 2:29 pm: Wonderful idea for a giveaway, thanks so much for entering my name!

I am very torn between Nourishing Traditions, and the Green Kitchen Handbook. I guess I lean a little bit more towards Nourishing Traditions, because I have heard so many great things about it! Really looking forward to checking out your blog!
Lisa January 31, 2008 at 1:26 pm: Don’t make me count to three sounds like just the book I desperately need! My two seven year olds are having a difficult time listening and I hate having to spank or put them in time-out. We RARELY spank but sometimes it feels like there is no other option. I would love to get insight from this book! Thank you for you having such a generous giveaway! I would LOVE to win it so my kids can be happy and I can too!
(Please email me if I win!)
Thanks again!

Erin January 31, 2008 at 11:13 am: I would like both the Green Kitchen Handbook and the Shopping for Time one. It’s a toss up- but if it came down to it I would like the Shopping for Time more because I struggle with balancing my life sometimes

However, I’d like “The Green Kitchen Handbook…”, because the things listed in the title are my exact goals for our kitchen, and I don’t really know where to start!
Thanks for the great giveaway and the chance to win!
I hope I win!
