Congratulations to the Cardinals and Steelers! Can’t wait for the big game and to see Bruce Springsteen do the half time show.
But most importantly, congrats to Karla of Book Challenge 2009, who won the Pepsi Super Bowl Party Pack!
Check out Karla’s blog. She’s planning to read 100 books in 2009. Sounds like a plan to me!

Have you ever wanted to go on assignment with National Geographic? Then maybe you should enter your child in the 2009 National Geographic Kids Hands-On Explorer Challenge.
Fifteen young explorers and two teachers will be selected as members of the 2009 National Geographic Kids Hands-On Explorer Challenge Expedition Team and will win the field trip of a lifetime — a 12-day expedition to Peru with National Geographic and local experts as their guides.
Highlights include exploring the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, and visiting Tambopata Reserve deep in the Peruvian rain forest, where team members will have the opportunity to help in a research laboratory. All winners will also receive a digital camera courtesy of Nikon.
The challenge is sponsored by National Geographic Kids magazine, PromPeru, and the marketers of PURELL.

One of the activities we like to do as a family is watch sports. We regularly attend CU Buffs men’s and women’s basketball games, and like watching sports on TV like football (college and pro), hockey, baseball and even bowling and curling.

As you may know, Super Bowl XLIII is right around the corner. To celebrate, I’ll be blogging about sports related books all week.
Even better, Pepsi has given me the opportunity to give away an Ultimate Super Bowl Party Pack valued at $250. It includes:
That’s a lot of chips and soda! See below on how to enter my giveaway contest.
