This is it! My 100th posting! Instead of the pressure of writing the best blog posting ever, I’ve decided to celebrate this momentous occasion with a giveaway!
However, I want to make this clear, this isn’t a follower grab or a way to increase readership. I am thrilled with the following I currently have and as much as I would love to have more followers, I sincerely want my readers to follow my blog because they enjoy it, not because I’m giving away a prize.
Therefore, the only “rule” to participate in this giveaway is to leave a comment on this posting! This contest is open to anyone and everyone! Please no anonymous comments (that would make it impossible to decipher who won). If you don’t have a Google account and the only way you can comment is anonymously, then please be sure to end your comment with a first name and last initial.
To ensure the integrity of this giveaway, http://www.random.org/ will determine the winner by random “public drawing” and I will announce the winner with a blog posting and a screen shot including the winner’s comment and/or name. Only one entry per person (multiple entries will be deleted). The winner will just have to contact me with their e-mail address and the prizes will be sent out by e-mail… no strings attached.
Now how easy is that???
So, are you excited to hear what the prize is??? One lucky winner will get:
$25 (CAD) e-mail gift card to Amazon
AND
$20 (CAD) e-mail gift card to make a donation to the charity of their choosing at Charity Choice
Ready to play? Comment on this posting… to make the comments more interesting for other readers please share what your favourite book and/or charity is! Please note, this is just a suggestion for the content of comments and is not a requirement to participate in the giveaway.
Entries to this giveaway will be accepted until:
12:00 pm (MST) Sunday, February 13, 2011.
Good luck and thank you so much for reading The Deliberate Mom. I look forward to writing my next 100 postings!
GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

Neat idea!
fun idea… i especially like the 20 dollars to favorite charity… if i would get 20 dollars to donate somewhere it would be to my friends daughter who passed aways compassion international memorial fund.
Well, I like this idea! As for my favorite book, I think that’s difficult to say, but a book I read recently which I really enjoyed was Mockingjay, which is the last book in a Trilogy called The Hunger Games.
my favorite book is so hard to choose- but my favorite children’s book is “GooNight Moon”
(My son’s favorite!)
I just read Snow Falling on Cedars, and loved that :)
My favorite charity, one of them is the Polaris Project- they help women who have been sold as sex slaves (get them out of that situation, get them housed, fed, educated, counseled, etc)
100 posts already?!? That’s a good sign, it must mean I love reading your stuff because I still feel like everything you put up is fresh :)
Great work Jennifer, here’s to HUNDREDS more!
Favourite book…there’s too many. Favourite charity…there’s too many!

Congratulations on your 100th post! What a fun giveaway idea too, love the charity idea.
My favorite book right now would probably be “The Shack” it’s a book that really makes you think.
My favorite charity (although I have many) would be Oakland Childrens Hospital or American Heart Association.
My favorite book right now is also The Shack, and I love the book Love you forever by Robert Munsch.
My favorite charity is Doctors without borders.
My favourite books are chick-lit books because I don’t like to cry while I am reading, and I don’t like to read anything too heavy before I go to bed. My favourite charity is the Edmonton Humane Society. Thanks J!
I love your Blog Jennifer! Your posts are always so insightful and interesting! I have lots of books I love but I’d say one of my top favorites is Running in the Family by Michael Ondaatje -beautifully written with lovely poetry throughout. One of the charities that I have donated to that is really special is the Rainbow Society of Alberta, which grants wishes to chronically ill children.
Congratulations on your following! :) that is so wonderful. I hope that one day I will have readers so committed.
A favorite book…Where the Red Fern Grows
I love Maeve Binchy books. They are set in Ireland and have multiple characters whose lives intersect. My favourite charity is the Men’s Refuge in Edmonton. It is a men’s shelter that does not receive funding and is not well known.
Hey! Congrats on the 100th post!
Such a nice giveaway idea! My favorite charity is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation because my friend lost his battle with CF at age 15.
I read the greatest childrens book today at Chapters called “Its a Book” by Lane Smith. Its about a tech savy jackass vs a traditional book reading monkey.
Its good for a laugh

My favorite book is the giving tree. I would give donation to the national stuttering association. Congrats on100 posts [email protected].
I am a mom to 5, 6 soon! I don’t really get reading time in outside of our homeschool textbooks and children’s books! Years ago, I always loved a good classic. Charity? Probably a local no kill animal shelter
Congratulations on your 100th post. My favorite book is the BIBLE, it is amazing in many ways, but I love the poetry the best. The charity would be marrow.org. There are many lives that could be saved if we were willing the join the bone marrow registry.
Jennifer, what a fun idea for a 100th post :) I’m in!
My favourite book is “The Giver” by Lois Lowry. It may be a kids book, but it never gets old, even after the gazillionth time read. Love it.
One hundred posts already! Congratulations! Here’s to 100 more. One of my favorite books is Prayer for a Child by Rachel Field because it’s so sweet and I love the illustrations. I would donate $20 to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation because they do so much for our little ones.
I don’t have an account so I will have to post as anonymous. M.M-G
Congratulations on your 100th post! My favorite charity is StreetlightPHX which works on eradicating the domestic child sex slavery trade.
