For those of you who may not know, 5 Minutes for Mom is hosting another blog party week! And wow, it's here! (And apparently a pretty happenin' party since the site is so busy it's temporarily unavailable!)
Anyway, come on in...relax...and make yourself at home!I hope you like strong coffee...up here in the northwest, we do like a good strong cup. No watered down version for us! (Maybe that's why my husband went cold turkey off the stuff awhile back...) Oh, yes, we have cream and sugar. What's that? Yes, you can even more to it...
Have a seat, and I'll tell you a little bit about myself.
I've been blogging for almost two years now...starting, like so many, to keep family friends up to date. Plus give the writer in me a little outlet.
And then it happened. I became immersed into blogland!
As for my personal life... I have two little girls, ages 8 and 5, and have married for almost 13 years to someone who still makes my heart beat a little faster.
Yep, that's us. On our 10th anniversary trip to Hawaii! We took our time finding each other ...and then starting a family. I'm now in my mid-40's, but I certainly don't feel it. And with a little Loreal or Clarol now and then, I'm fighting it all the way.
Of course, having two little ones these past few years has helped to keep me on my toes.
Let's see...This is my third year home schooling and I have to say, despite the occasional challenges, I have loved this adventure so much!
It is honestly a blessing to be with my children...to watch and help them learn...and sometimes learn right along with them!
We do also have another big baby at home...
Who started out a year and a half ago like this...
As I mentioned above, we live in the great Northwest (U.S.) ...and except for a little sogginess in winter, we love this area with it's tall, majestic trees and beautiful mountains and lakes surrounding us.
The most important aspect of my life, though, is knowing Jesus. I am far from perfect, and make mistakes daily...but having Him in my life and knowing He loves me means everything.
I hope you've enjoyed your little visit.
And by the way...we are getting ready for a big road trip to California- complete with Disneyland- in just a few weeks! (See post below for a walk down memory lane with my first trip to Disneyland!)
My husband and our girls have never been there...so needless to say, we are all just a little bit excited. Stay tuned for lots of stories and pictures to come!
Oh- one more thing! Everyone who knows me, knows I have a love of nostalgia, antiques, and old, classic movies. (I guess anything that makes me feel young in comparison!) ;)
So, if you were faithful to get to the end of this post...I am giving away an unopened DVD of Cary Grant's "His Girl Friday". (Popcorn not included.) :) Just leave a comment...with a link taking me somewhere, or if a non-blogger, your e-mail addy. It's open to old and new friends alike!
Thank you again for stopping by...I really hope you'll be back.
Coffee will be optional.
Blessings!
