			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img border="0" width="467" src="http://www.momcominghome.com/mom/images/happybirthday.gif" alt="Happy Birthday" height="246" style="width: 277px; height: 117px" class="itemcenter" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s actually my Blog&#8217;s Birthday&#8230;3 years. I know it&#8217;s only 3 months since I started blogging regularly, but I needed a reason to celebrate!</p>
<p>I love looking through old photographs and journals. It&#8217;s interesting to see &#8220;how things were&#8221; at a given point in time, and to compare how things are now.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my first post at Mom Coming Home (my how things have changed):</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>November 6, 2004: &#8220;Beginnings&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Welcome! The purpose of this blog is for me to have a webspace to record my thoughts about becoming a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) or possibly a WAHM (work-at-home-mom).</p>
<p>Over the past thirteen years, I have worked outside the home. Some years full-time, some years part-time, and some lean years self-employed. As of November 4, 2004 I have worked two consecutive years full-time. Before that I was self-employed for four years as a network engineer. Networking, as in “LAN/WAN” not the marketing variety.</p>
<p>To sum things up, I work outside the home while my self-employed husband is at home with our five children. We are both completely ready for a role reversal….or would that be a role re-reversal? Anyway, my goal is to be AT HOME next year.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for more details on how I’m getting there.</p></blockquote>
<p>Wow. 3 years ago, I worked full-time outside of the home and dreamed of the day when I could quit my job. Now I work at home for that same company. And with the addition of Baby A we have six kids! It&#8217;s funny how things work out.</p>
<p>To celebrate my birthday, I&#8217;m holding my first blog contest for the month of November.</p>
<h3><strong>The Contest is about &#8220;Your First Blog Post&#8221;</strong></h3>
<p>Each comment left on this post will count as an entry. To receive an additional two entries, write a post on your blog about <em><strong>your first blog post</strong></em> and link back to Mom Coming Home&#8230;I would love to read about how things have changed for you over the months or years.</p>
<p>To show my appreciation, I will post a list of participants each week linking to both your main blog page and your specific blog entry (if you wrote a post).</p>
<h3><strong>The Prizes:</strong></h3>
<p>On November 30, 2007 &#8211; Three random participants will win a $20 gift certificate to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2F&amp;tag=mch--20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Amazon</a><img border="0" width="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=mch--20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" height="1" style="margin: 0px; border: medium none" />!</p>
<h3><strong>Mom&#8217;s Rules:</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>The three prize winners will be selected at random and receive their $20 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2F&amp;tag=mch--20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Amazon</a><img border="0" width="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=mch--20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" height="1" style="margin: 0px; border: medium none" /> Gift Certificate via e-mail, so please provide a valid e-mail address.</li>
