Introduction and a Summer Fun Giveaway! (Closed)

summerfun_3

I’m new to the Busy Mom team so I figured what better way to introduce myself than with a summer fun giveaway?

I am Barbara, single mom to two little boys who keep me plenty busy! My oldest will be starting kindergarten next week and my youngest just turned 3. We’re all about playing outside, biking, digging in the dirt looking for dinosaur bones, chasing dragons (you may call them lizards but we know what they really are!), reading, putting on puppet shows, and making all kinds of crafts and handmade gifts for everyone we love.

We’ve had lots of fun this summer and collected tons of digital photos so I was thrilled when the folks at Online Poster Printing contacted me about doing a giveaway. They’re offering one of our readers a free 16×20″ Gallery or Museum Wrapped Canvas print of the digital photo of your choice. All you have to do is leave me a comment describing the photo you’d like to have enlarged.

Extra Entries: You can subscribe to Busy Mom with your email for 5 extra entries and leave a comment on this post http://busy-mommy.com/2009/07/top-10-reasons-i-am-excited-to-stay-home-with-my-family-this-coming-weekend.html for three extra entries!  One winner will be chosen at random next Friday, July 31.
