Ultimate Blog Party 2010

Ultimate Blog Party 2010

Welcome to Marine Corps Nomads!  I’m glad that you decided to stop by and visit.  We’re currently on vacation in the Grand Canyon, so I’ll be actively joining the party once we get back home.

As you may have guessed, we’re a military family.  I, Heather, am the one that does most of the blogging around here.  My husband, D, is an active duty Marine.  We’re currently stationed in Arizona, so I often write about our outdoor adventures in the desert.  We have a blast hiking, camping, exploring…  I homeschool our daughter, Munchkin.  It’s hard to believe that she’ll be turning 11 next week!

I’d like to offer you lots of yummy gluten free goodies and give you a chance to win a $50 Williams Sonoma gift card.

For your chance to win, just leave a comment on this post.

Additional entries: Leave a comment for each item.

  2. Subscribe to this blog (rss or email)
  3. Follow @MarineCorpsNomd on Twitter

Giveaway open to anyone who can use the gift card!  Giveaway ends on April 16th.  **This giveaway is closed.**

  2. OOHRAH to you! I am also a Marine wife (although my husband is out now) – once a Marine wife, Always a Marine wife. I’ve actually been following your blog for about a month, and love your posts – and was excited to see you on the UBP. I am pleased to see the gluten free info, I am going to pass that onto my cousin who has to follow a gluten free diet. Her daughters are always trying to find new recipes to use (daughters are both vegetarians too).

    Enjoy your vacation – maybe someday we’ll be able to pull our camper there (but M needs a new truck before we take something THAT far from Georgia!).

  29. Thanks so much for serving our Country! I am so thankful for all our service men and women and their dedication to protecting those of us living at home!

    I’m a homeschooling SAHM of two littles (3 and 1.5). I’m a born-again Christian, and I’m currently getting my MA in Ministry! I’m not your typical “Mommy Blogger”, but I love reading them just the same. Just stopping by during the UBP! Happy Partying! 🙂
