In conjunction with the launch of her new site, Live Giveaways, Jacqueline (who also runs the blog Blessings Abound) will be hosting an Ultimate Blog Carnival May 4th-10th. Many people were disappointed when the Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival was canceled, and so I’m excited that we have another opportunity to win great prizes!

The “carnival” goes live at 5:00 a.m. PST and ends on May 10th at 11:59 p.m. PST. You can enter to win two free Chili’s Guiltless Grill menu items here on my blog. I may also be doing another giveaway this week, so stay tuned! Be sure that you check out the carnival for other great giveaways and let us know if you win something!
