2010 Ultimate Blog Party

Five Minutes for Mom is hosting the Ultimate Blog Party. This is a way to meet new very cool women bloggers. If you want to check it out or find out how to party with us, just click on the Blog Party button on my sidebar.

Welcome to my blog! Whether you are new or come by often, I am so glad you are here.

I have been blogging for a little over a year now and have found that there are some really amazing women out there in the blogosphere. They make me think, they remind me what is important, they make me feel like I am not alone in my struggles, they encourage me, they give me really yummy recipes to try and cool photographic techniques to attempt.

Being a "mommy blogger" has gotten some flack in the media and has been trivialized. But,the ladies I know who write and post their thoughts and opinions and relate to other moms out there are amazing! There is nothing trivial about it.

Where else can you get potty training advice, craft ideas, writing workshops, photography  tips, personal opinions on new hairstyles, comedic true life stories, prayer for your family, the latest nutritional information, diet and workout tips and insight into everything for FREE! Blogs are like a giant magazine with endless pages.

Plus, there is the bonus of friendships formed.

I know you are hopping around so I will be brief.

One thing you should know about me is that I  strive to be transparent and authentic and tell the true story of what it is like for me to walk through this life with Hottie Husband by my side and raise 4 wild and delightful boys.

Sometimes its funny, sometimes its sad, sometimes its absolutely nutty, but I always, ALWAYS get pictures!

I just realized that in no way by my own savvy computer skills, but rather due to a video upload that froze my computer  between laundry loads which created some funky timing to my benefit...


I am 5th on the UBP McLinky list! 


SOOOOO, I am just going to have to do a giveway. 


Let's say a $30 gift card to Sephora (an awesome beauty product and make-up store). 


I chose Sephora because if I do Target, you will buy food or diapers or a birthday party gift. But, at Sephora you are more likely to buy something for yourself and YOU deserve something Mamasista!


Leave a comment (as many times as you like through the party week) and each time you will be entered. Follow along and be entered again.  


Party On!!
