Thanks so much for reading through our new blog site - keep coming back as we post more ways of honoring God by Simply Serving others.
Hi, I spotted your Tweet and came to visit. What a fun contest! My senior mom LOVES gardening and especially tomatoes so she'll be thrilled if I win this! :) I'll also pass the info on to my readers at SandwichINK. I'm not as big a gardener but do have a few pet plants - love roses, camellias, hydrangeas, and gardenias. And this year one of the activities for grandparents and grandchildren that I'm planning is to create a project called The Sunflower House! We're really looking forward to that! :) Thanks again
ReplyDeleteJust followed and tweeted @SandwichINK - RT @simpleactsofluv UBP10 Giveaway!! Missed deadline so doing own Giveaway in honor of our new blog Giveaway: http://bit.ly/cyiO32 #ubp10
ReplyDeleteBe sure to pop by later this afternoon. I'm writing a post at SandwichINK to spotlight some of the Ultimate Blog Party people I've met and you'll be there! :) :) :)
Have a blessed day!
We LOVE to garden here and my mom has always wanted one of those Tomato Bag thingies.
ReplyDeleteAs for a project, I was unsure of what to do... until I saw your post on crocheting a mat from plastic bags!!! ( http://simplyserve3.blogspot.com/2010/04/plastic-mats-from-plastic-bags.html )
Brilliant! My mom has been teaching (trying to at least.. not all are interested) my kiddos knit but this is a project we could do with crocheting all together!!! YAY
I'm a Senior and love flower gardening. I would love these tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteI am also following you on Twitter now.
ReplyDeleteI like to cook. I can't grow a thing. Hi! I'm visiting from the UBP 10! Hope to see you at mine!

Although neither hubby and I are good gardners, we have several beds for veggies. We love the produce, but more importantly my 3 year old loves to help dig. We just planted broccoli, cauliflower and spring onions..cool weather crops.
ReplyDeletePS Got here from your UBP10 tweet.

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of your site. My kids are still fairly young, but the spirit of giving is something incredibly important to us! They are 4 and 2, and the most impactful thing we've done is the Salvation Army toy train, where we gave Santa toys to give to little boys and girls who needed it.
I also take them to clean up days at a local camp here for chronically ill kids. We definitely don't last long and aren't too much of a help, since they are so little, but we have cleaned up twigs from the playgrounds, which I guess needs to be done and is better than nothing! (I'm pretty sure it was a job made up for them since they were too little to do anything else). I figure that they are learning about giving, regardless of what they are asked to do!
Would love to win the tomatoes to teach them about sustainability and nutrition ; - )
Randomly picked you out of UBP10 link up. I also am following on twitter. I am into service with our church and in however else I can be especially good to 'man'- I am even blogging on Monday about a new foundation to help families who wait at the hospital for various reasons. Anyway, it'll be nice to tweet with you- www.breebee.com
ReplyDeleteGreat site. Both of my twitter accounts are now following you "StopDropRelax" and "TrendingSol". So you got a 2 for one deal :) :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good time partying with UBP10. Stop by if you get a chance http://stopdropandrelax.com/blog/ And see what we have to help you Stop Drop and Relax. Visit our store at http://www.StopDropandRelax.com and Prepare To Be Pampered.
We have a program going in our small town called Weekend Warrior. The 8 local churches make weekend food bags for children at school to take home on the weekend. We make a total of 150 bags! That is 150 kids identified as NOT getting much food to eat on the weekends. Very sad. It is a great thing though for our church. We have all ages helping out! From buying the food to making the bags each week to taking the bags to the schools.
ReplyDeleteI'm following you on twitter too! Love the concept behind your blog! Stoppin' in from #UBP10 Toot toot!

Ohhh what a great giveaway! I've been telling my mother in law that I wanted an upside down tomato plant and an upside down strawberry plant too! LOL She's always having me help with her gardening and I've really been enjoying helping her!
ReplyDeletefollowing your tweets too!
ReplyDeleteHi I love your site! I popped over for UBP! :) Glad I did! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm following you on Twitter @CheleChestnut
ReplyDeleteSaw you mentioned on Twitter and thought I'd stop by-- love the concept of your blog! I work PT in a nursing home as the Activity Coordinator... plenty of opportunities for people to serve others there in very easy ways!
ReplyDeleteMy party post is up HERE. I hope you'll drop by and say hello!
Hmmm... not sure I explained in my first comment the ways my family has served at the nursing home: my kids volunteer (ages 3 and 7),even as young as they are they can push wheelchairs, visit, and deliver treats.
ReplyDeleteand I'm following you now on Twitter @AmyMCGS
What a great idea for a blog! And I love your header - too cute. We were just talking about maybe planting a little garden this year to tend as a family - my son is almost 2 so I think he'd really get a kick out of it. Good luck with your blog!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm following you on Twitter now too - @techlovingmom.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my little corner. I am delighted you're giving away this prize because I happened to see the TV commercial this Sunday, which I've seen before, and thought how neat it would be to have one.
ReplyDeleteMy family and I have done many projects together, especially as a home schooling family. I have special memories of one we called Project SAP (Save A Penny), which my daughter set up for students to bring in loose change and we later sent to the survivors of hurricane Katrina.
Thanks for sharing this lovely prize. Looking forward to more visits.
Following you on Twitter now. BTW, I love daisies too. ;) My email is inhimoneheart@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI came to your blog from the Twitter party tonight. I knew when I saw the title of your blog that it would be inspiring and one that I would enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMy family is involved in all kinds of projects too. From buying "Hope2Others" bags (you can find them on FB) to hand to homeless people on the street (they provide water, some food, socks and some other nice little items), to the 30 Hour Famine supporting World Vision. Two of my children each sponsor a child (by themselves)thru World Vision. Our neighbor for many years was one whom we included in holiday's etc until she passed away this past year.
Thank you for sponsoring this giveaway!

I am doing a wonderful project called Feed Five For Five and its a program that is aiming to punch out poverty and halt hunger one neighborhood at a time! I am so excited about it. You just take $5 out of your shopping budget and use it to help a family. It can be your family, the family down the street, or a family you don't even know!
ReplyDeleteThe tomatoes remind me of my beloved father. He always knew how to grow the best ones. It is time for me to start. I spend time with my family playing Apples to apples, bike riding, going swimming and just having fun. We also love to hit the garage sales as a family!

Hi! Visiting via UBP. It's nice to meet you, you have a beautiful blog!

I would love to win this! I started a garden this year on my desk (mobility issues so I can't have a traditional garden) using deck rail planters and strawberry pots I had from a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteSo far I've planted grape tomatoes, lots of herbs, cukes, squash and peppers (banana and regular ones).
I also ordered a couple of potato sacks and I'm trying to grow some in reusable grocery bags (I have some that are almost favric-like so they should work well).
I'd love to have one of these, I hear people rave about them all the time.
I follow you on twitter, and I tweeted http://twitter.com/simplydab/status/12315857074
ReplyDeleteMy family and I are working on getting fit. My kids and I (my hubby too when he is home) walk two miles and work out on the wii. I would love to get into gardening with my boys! We live in an apratment so I need to figure out how to do the flower box gardens!
