My First Ultimate Blog Party


Hooray...I am participating in my first ever Ultimate Blog Party!! For a link to join in the party click on the side bar and you'll get all the information that you need.
So welcome to my blog to all new friends who may happen to visit. I am a stay at home Mom to 5 kids (ages 9, 7, 7, 6, and almost 5). We're a busy crew who love doing life in our own crazy way. My life is hectic and I spend WAY too much time in a silver Chevy Venture (that's a mini van to those of you who don't have kiddo's).
I am a wife to Super Daddio (Derek) who can leap tall buildings in a single bound. We're lucky to have a strong marriage that has weathered some rough storms.
I hope you enjoy looking through my posts!!!!
Thanks for visiting!!
After looking at all of the AWESOME prizes, here is my wish list (THANK YOU so much to all of the people who have donated these wonderful items-like many Moms who sacrifice personal treats, I would be honored to receive ANY of the items on the list of prizes):
1. Number 58: Kitchen Aide Mixer (oohh the cookies we could make)
2. Number 15: Chicbud earphones (I need some bling for my visits to the Walmart)
3. INT10: Momoir Workbook
4. Number 25: Period kit (yep, I have a daughter approaching this phase of life-sigh)
5. Number 49: Jillian Michaels DVD (I have 5 kids-no explanations needed)
6. Number 80: Crocheted bag (Just sounds lovely)
7. USC7: Monogramed Ziptote
8. USC10: Mabel's Label's (hey, we loose A LOT of stuff)
9. USC20: T's and a tank (These sound stylish and I could use some style)
10.USC26: Hatley's PJ's (Ahhh....to relax in new jammies)
11. USC40: Yankee Candle (love 'em but don't buy 'em)
And of course I would love anything else on the list outside of my top 11!!
Hope you have a fantastic Blog Party experience!!!!
