Giveaways in Bloggyland
I added a new page to Sueberry Lane earlier: Giveaways In Bloggyland. Now instead of a bunch of individual posts, I’ll list all of the giveaways I’m entering each month on one linky. This way I can just start a new linky each month. Keeping track of which contest I’ve entered will be much easier now.
Of course, I’m hoping to have visitors to Sueberry Lane add any giveaways that they are hosting to the linky as well. The more the merrier!
Happy Monday!

2 on Tuesday: Pet Peeves

This week’s question is: What are your pet peeves?
1. People who don’t do what they say they will.
If you say that you are going to be somewhere at a certain time… do your best to make it happen. If you’re not going to be able to be there or are going to be late just give me a call and let me know. Its no biggie if you let me know ahead of time. I just don’t like surprises.
2-A. Dirty clothes right next to the laundry hamper.
Just two more inches and you could have made there. Come on… make a game out of it. Two points if you make it in the basket.
2-B. Bugs the heck out of me when people put trash in the recycle bin.
(another pet peeve about putting things where they belong)
They are clearly marked – one is blue and the other green with a big recycle here picture on it. Open your eyes folks.
Hmm… these pet peeves are kinda telling. Guess the kiddo and I share some Aspie traits. lol

Tuesday Ten ~ Energy Saving Tips for Kids
I don’t know how it is in your neck of the woods, but around here our electric bill was something else this summer. Hubby’s on a “must save energy” also known as “must save money on the utility bill” kick lately. He’s been going around replacing our light bulbs with more energy efficient ones bit by bit (those boogers aren’t cheap). We’re doing better about remembering to turn off the lights when not in use. I’m a major offender in thinking I need to leave the TV on for background noise at night – must break that habit.
I’ve spent the morning looking for ways to get the kids involved in our energy saving mission. Here’s what I’ve found so far:
1. Help Save Energy Coloring Sheet
2. Energy Hog Printable Workbook
4. Printable Light Bulb Maze & Electricity Word Search
5. Light Switch Cover & Energy Saving Checklist
6. Lorax – Energy Star Printable Workbook
7. Horton’s Guide To Saving Our Planet
8. A Beautiful World Starts With You – Activity Book
10. For number ten I found this cartoon with the idea to drop a penny in a jar every time one of the kids turns off a light or does some other energy saving task. At the end of the month they get to keep the pennies. I’m thinking we might try this one.

Tuesday Ten ~ “Change”
There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction
Winston Churchill
If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living.
Gail Sheehy
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Reinhold Niebuhr
Change is inevitable – except from a vending machine.
Robert C. Gallagher
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
Leo Tolstoy
When you are through changing, you are through.
Bruce Barton
Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
Unknown
When one door closes another door opens. Often we stare so hard at the closed door that we forget to see the one open in front of us.
Unknown
Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.
John Dewey
I’ll go anywhere as long as it’s forward.
David Livingstone
If nothing ever changed…there’d be no butterflies.
