What a creative way to have a party! No need to find a babysitter, think for days what to wear OR put on a smiley face if you don't want to. Yet you still have all the perks of a perfect party... Meet some wonderful people-get some great ideas-realize you aren't alone-and eat the treats all by yourself!
For you regulars, you know what you'll get here...
As for the first-timers, this is me. A mother of five, navigating my way through motherhood with humor, love and honesty.
And as an added bonus-if you leave a comment, I'll enter you to win a $15 giftcard to one of my favorite stores.
Which store you ask?
It will be a surprise.
But, here are a few clues:
I do have five kids...
I love getting a good deal...
and
I have two kids in diapers....
(Winner will be announced on Saturday, April 17th.)
We're happy...most of the time!
Enjoy...
Rules Disclaimer - One entry per person. Giveaway ends at 2:05am on (EST) 4/17/10. Winner will be announced here and sent an email. Winner has 48 hours to contact me or another winner will be drawn.
I love your header. You have such a beautiful family! Welcome to the UBP; I hope you have a great time!
ReplyDeleteI want to win! Where do I enter?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blog and family! You're going to love the party, always lots of fun and you're right, no need for a babysitter!

2 kids in diapers. Wow you win a prize from me. Am I entered?
ReplyDeleteI feel your diaper pain. I just have one in diapers now, but my 3boys are all so close in age that I had 2 in diapers for a very long time. I came *this* close to having 3 in diapers all at one time. But, my oldest potty trained a few weeks before my youngest was born.
ReplyDeleteStopping in from the party...apparently to ramble about diapers. LOL
Love the name of your blog. I also have a Joshua. I came over form the UBP, but will be back again.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogging:)

Found your blog thru the UBP, so glad I decided to participate this year, have found some great blogs to follow and yours is now one of them. You have some great pics of your kids -- sometimes I think I don't have enough just random shots of daily life-- and I love the quotes you keep on the side.
ReplyDeleteHave just started to expand by blog beyound sharing scrapbook pages, feel free to stop by

Here from UBP! Nice to read this blog and get to know you a little. I have twins in diapers, so I know how you feel...I don't have three other kids, though, so I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteIt is so great to get a new friend. This blog party is such a great way to connect! I am the mother of 5 grown daughters and I am an avid quilter and a professional organizer helping women get rid of clutter in their homes and lives.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a fantastic day! I look forward to connecting with you.
