Laura over at Heavenly Homemakers is hosting a fall giveaway carnival this week. I am so excited as I have lots of stuff to giveaway, but haven’t had time to write up the posts. So, her carnival was just the motivation I needed to get it in gear and start the giveaways.
For the next 5 days I will host a giveaway each day! The prizes are varied, and there will be something for everyone. Check back each day for the newest giveaway and be entered to win. I am sure you won’t be disappointed.
Today’s giveaway is a really great book titled Real Moms…Real Jesus. I was given this book to read and I was immediately drawn to the title.
Jill Savage, the author, takes events from Jesus’ life and relates them to our lives as mothers. Her words are encouraging and the book is filled with references to scripture. The fact that Jill has five kids of her own gives her just a little credibility on the subject of motherhood. 
Her writing style makes you feel like a friend has come along side to encourage you.
This book is divided into small easy to read sections that fits perfectly with a busy mom’s schedule. I found myself picking it up throughout the day and reading a page or two for encouragement.
I am so excited the publishing company has given me 3 copies of this book to giveaway! I wish I could give one to everyone, but if you don’t win you could add it to your Christmas list.
Entering is simple, just leave me a comment. You can earn additional entries by tweeting or posting this giveaway on your Facebook page. Make sure you include a link to this post so other people can participate. Leave a comment for each additional entry. Contest ends one week from today, October 12, 2009.
Don’t forget to enter Tuesday’s giveaway, a free will kit from LegalZoom.
Very excited about the book…something my friend and I were discussing this past week. Thanks!
Sounds like a great book!
Sounds like just what I need right now.

Sounds like a good one. Sign me up! I have also been reading, “Sacred Parenting” by Gary Thomas another great one about viewing parenting through a different lens.

You’re right, that is a great title. I think we try to be something for everyone else and forget that God designed to be exactly who we are for His purpose!
Sounds interesting!
I would like to add this to my “must read” book list!
I’ve been waiting for my library to get this book in. I would love to have one for my very own so I could pass it along once I’ve finished reading it!
This book sounds good espicially since I can’t seem to connect with my children real well lately.
I just love a good book!

I just wanted to thank you so much for this blog….I’m a “new” born again Christian and I get so overwhelmed by everything out there. I am blessed to work the second shift so I’m able to be with my kids during the day but have to work a full time job until 1am and then start again at 7am (I am not complaining…I was unemployed for two years which really hurt us). Even if I don’t win the book, I’m definately interested in getting it….I need all the help I can get!!!
But thank you again for the blog! You have helped more than you’ll ever know!

I found your blog on heavenly homemakers.
I am a sahm to 5 children and just recently lost my best friend.(my mother) I have been slacking and need a pick me up, after reading your story on what you went through with your husband and how you still held everything together it brought tears to my eyes.
I like what you had to say in “Stop focusing on what you are not doing and find the good”
I think I have been so hard on myself and I need to look at what I have been doing. You are a inspiration to me.
Thanks
That sounds like a great book!
