Blog Merger and Book Giveaway
Sunday, November 8, 2009
*Gulp!* I think I'm gonna do it. Yep, I really am.
You see, I've been trying to maintain 3 blogs for awhile, and it's just gotten to be too much. In case you hadn't noticed, I had two other blogs going-- one for my book reviews and one for homeschooling topics. I love to blog, but I was finding it all a bit overwhelming. So after a lot of thought, I've decided to merge back into one main blog. I think it will make my life easier, and make blogging more fun for me again. I hope you'll continue to ride along with me!
As a "thank you" for bearing with me while make these detours and get back on route, I have decided to offer a big box of books as a special giveaway for the month of November. With the holidays coming up, you could even use the books for gifts. Here are the books I've selected:
Simply leave me a comment during the month of November for your chance to win this box of a dozen books. (U.S. addresses only, please.)
Would you like more chances to win? Here's some other things you could do to help me out... and for each one you do, leave another comment for another chance to win:
- Follow this blog.
- Mention if you were a follower of one of my other blogs.
- Twitter about this giveaway.
- Post on Facebook about this giveaway.
- Blog about this giveaway.

It will be so much easier to read all your wisdom when it's collected in one spot! As one who reads all three blogs, I am looking forward to the merge!
Oh, and I am a follower, and I tweeted about the giveaway!
I went to two blogs so that our long distance family wouldn't get burdened with my crafts or preschool fun, unless they wanted to, but it is hard! I do not come up with ten posts a week, but I do what I can. I sometimes think one blog would be more fun, too...but could not consider three!
I'm looking forward to the merge! Thanks for doing this great giveaway!
And... I have been a follower of Roads to Learning blog for a while now.
And... I am now becoming a follower of this blog! Thanks!
I just found your blog or blogs while searching for others who use Sonlight. We're new to Sonlight this year and love it!
I follow your road to learning blog.
I follow your Roads to Learning blog, but I subbed in bloglines to this one. I completely sympathetize on trying to keep just one blog going let alone three!
I updated my sidebar to reflect this change. I hope one blog makes life a lot easier. I know that I couldn't keep up with three blogs!
Did I MISS it somewhere? Will THIS be your new solo blog, or do I need to switch to another site?
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win these great titles It would make a great Christmas gift for myself :)

First let me say Congrats!! I think it is great that you are consolidating down to one blog. I used to maintain two+, and it is HARD! I just assume that if I post a topic someone isn't interested in - they'll skip it. :)
Second - what a great giveaway!! I'm dying (not literally) to read The Sound of Sleigh Bells... was so sad to miss out on the blog tour. My son would love the First Dictionary too... so this would be a great win for our family. :)

Well the new blog looks wonderful and I will be poking around to see about using Sonlight we use Weaver but I have wondered about what it is like.

Hi, Karla! What a fantastic giveaway for the holidays! Please put my name in the hat. I'm struggling to keep up with one blog, so I cannot imagine doing three....but you are much more experienced at that sort of thing. Say, how's the knitting going these days?
I voted for you and Laura on that thing you sent...does that count for another vote for me here? Huh? Huh? Does it? Huh?
I enjoy your blogs...What a fabulous giveaway. Please add my name to read these wonderful books.

It will be much easier to find you now. You were always on the road and you were hard to keep up with.
Glad you merged back home. I wil put your give a way on my blog tomorrow.
I commented on the other blog.
Thought I would do one here just in case. I'm glad you are coming back home. After all, you were the one that help me get set up and you started ramblin all over the place. I will put your give on my blog tomorrow.
I always enjoy visiting your blogs. You have done a great job of keeping them up. However, I understand the merge and I commend you for doing so. Blogging is fun, but it's also a lot of work.
Blessings

Hey Karla! We met at the ID Homeschool Convention. I've been carrying around your little teabag invite in my purse since then! Glad I'm finally visiting your blog. I'm excited to look around your blog. Would love free books, too! Happy Thanksgiving!
