Wednesday Giveaway : Superhero

My superpower comes into play first thing in the morning. When the kids have all been fed and they are playing happily together, I do one little job each day - like clean the kitchen sink, clear out the fridge, change the beds etc. It's great because I'm on top of the day before it's really started.

Yes, it sounds a little silly, but I am a super power speller! I am always the one people turn to when they need help spelling a word.

I think raising 4 kids, all ages 6 and under, to be good, strong, Christian people is something I'm proud of. It's not an easy task! But it's oh so rewarding. :)

My superpower is creating something interesting for dinner out of random things in the fridge and pantry - my husband will say we have nothing to eat, and then, voila! a healthy meal for the family appears. Thanks Andrea and Ali, for the lovely giveaway!

My superhero power is to be an encourager and a giver. I don't want to sound uppity, but I am a giver. I do not receive well and when I am in need, it is hard for me to be a receiver. I would much rather give to someone who needs a little something... be it a kind word, a meal during a stressful time or an anonymous gift. Recently my Mother in law passed away and it was very hard for me to 'accept' condolences, food, offers, etc. It is just me. It is who I am. I love to give. Thanks for your blog and prayers for the next few weeks. CindyML

Hmmm...
My teenage son calls me the Tyrant Queen - maybe keeping those boys in order is a superpower! But I think that my true superpower is found in the classroom. I love to connect with my little grade three students, to draw them out, to share the world with them, and to love them.

I am an EXCELLENT multi-tasker! Not only do I take care of 4 children (not mine) but I also take care of my own family! What a great giveaway!!

my superhero ability is telling my DH where something is before he even asks me...lol...

Two of my super powers are organization and an indescribable love for orphans. So much that we are in the process of adopting from Ethiopia. Through this my power of organization has come in very handy. All the paperwork and appointments have gone very smooth.
I love COLOR! Thanks for the chance to win one of her necklaces. They are awesome. Btw, I loved your yellow post from yesterday. Very inspiring!

I'm a superwoman seamstress. I actually ROCK at sewing. Makes me happy.

love the jewelry. my superpower is to organize events from getting friends together for a BBQ or a birthday party to sending out Holiday cards on Dec. 1.

I have incredible superpowers...I can prepare a great dinner for 4 in no time, finish a last minute school project before bedtime, take happy and funny photos, make my family and friends laugh daily and drive my kids everywhere to different sports and activities on time...okay, not great superpowers, but to them, I'm their superhero!

I think for me I'd have to say that my superpower is organising. I started a new uni course in August 08 and realised with 2 young girls, a busy dh and other things going on that I needed to be organised. Yes there has been the odd blip or three but overall it's been an amazing journey in organisation, prioritising and learning in many ways!

i am able to watch, feed & clean up after all of the neighborhood kids during a snow 2-hour school delay or cancellation (since i am the only mom who now stays home. . .) there may be anywhere from my own 2 to 5, 6, even 8 kiddos here! (today wasn't bad at 5!)

Hi Ali! Not too long until you meet Little A, huh?
I'd say my superpower is brainstorming. I love coming up with craft ideas, better ways to do things, organizing things. Its hard to explain. I think I have a reputation as "the crafty one."

My superhero power is that I inspire kids, (first my students and now my own children) to love literature. Jasper says,"Another dory-book, Mama!"

I think my super powers are being a good listener, a good organizer, thoughtful…come to think of it, I'm good at a lot of things. Thank you for making me think about it!
I'm a long-time fan of Andrea's blog, and of course yours, Ali.

Maybe I'm a sewing superhero. I LOVE it. Second to that, is snuggling with my kiddos a superpower? They think I'm the best at it, and that's good enough for me.

My superpower is being a peacemaker. I've been the volunteer coordinator at our local school for 5 years and one of the things everyone says about me is that I have an amazing ability to deal with many different people and create a harmonious working environment.

Ooh..love those necklaces!
My super power? Getting out and about with 3 kids, from ages 5 to 9 months. I get them (and me) all dressed and out of the house before 7:45! I am mommy, hear me roar! :)))

Honestly,
I think my superpower is my capacity to start over again and again. I am always looking for a better way to parent, keep house, be a good spouse. In life I am always working to get better.
I fail.
Often.
But I never give up. I continue to hope. I continue to believe I can do and be better than I am today.
I may take a break, but I will always get back up and try again.

My superpower? I am a super organized multi-tasking Mum.

My superpower is...connecting with people, helping people and trying to find the good in everyone and every situation.

My superpower would have to be calmness. I seem to be able to stay calm in a lot of not so nice situations and because of my "calm" my friends all ask my advice in their own yucky situations. I am very blessed to have this "superpower" and I am sure I will be using it while my new baby daughter grows up and provides both her Dad and I with challenges.

What a great giveaway. My superpower is creative thinking and giving super kisses and snuggles to my boys.
