Hi friends! Just a quick note to tell you we’re over at the Tiny Prints Blog today with a guest post on how you can display your Valentines Cards this month along with a couple of quick fun Valentines DIYs! We would love for you to stop on by and tell them A Night Owl sent you!

Please note: I am aware of the concerns around inappropriate content that have been reported on Vine. To date, I have seen no inappropriate material. With any form social media (especially when it is new) you must exercise caution! For now, until they work out the kinks, I only follow people I “know” (from blogging, etc) and I don’t go to the “explore” tab. My children do not have access to my phone. And in the end I completely understand if you have reservations! Really, it’s up to each person but so far I’ve had a lot of fun and am using it carefully!

Hi friends! If you know me, you know I’m a social media junkie. And there’s a new social media app in town by the founders of Twitter: Vine! I kind of think of it like Instagram, for 6-second videos. And I know some of you are cringing at the thought of a new social media outlet (and I get it!) but I’m always game to try something new. So if you’re trying it out – come find and follow me – and I’ll be sure to follow you back! I think it could be a fun (and maybe weird) way to get glimpses into our lives!

If you know me, you know that one of the things I’m passionate about in life is education. And right now, it’s more expensive than ever to try to get a quality education. That’s where companies like Campus Book Rentals come into play.

Are you currently a student spending hundreds of dollars each semester for books that you have to then turnaround and HOPE to sell? I can’t tell you how many books that I’ve had to buy for over $150 that I ended up selling at garage sales for just $1. That’s where Campus Book Rentals comes in handy! You can just RENT the textbooks you need!

The process is EASY:

• Search for your textbook rentals.
• Rent your textbooks.
• Receive your textbooks – FREE shipping offered!
• Return your textbooks – We Provide the Return Envelope and Shipping is FREE!!! 

The PERKS:

• Save 40-90% off of bookstore prices 
• Free shipping both ways 
• You can highlight in the textbooks 
• Flexible renting periods 
• We donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented

In 2007, Janice had this crazy idea to start something she called a “blog party”where Mom Bloggers would link up and “party” together in a blog carnival style, visiting each other’s sites and getting to know one another. Almost 1000 bloggers joined in and the annual Ultimate Blog Party was born.


In 2008, the UBP had over 1500 bloggers participating and in 2009, over 2000 bloggers participated, and in 2010 the number passed 2300 bloggers partying with us. In 2011, we had 3,000 partying with us.It just keeps growing.


The Ultimate Blog Party has not only grown in participating blogs (hitting right at 3,000 blogs in 2011), but it has also “grown” in the variety of ways online “partygoers” are connected in real life events — from live personal concerts featuring recording artist Chris Mann to webcast video chats and Twitter parties.Now you know!  Link up and get to know some great new blogs and bloggers!
