Ultimate Blog Party 2008

Welcome to my little corner of the Internet, I’m so glad you’ve decided to stop by.

(For my non-blogging friends who are wondering what I am talking about- 5 Minutes for Mom is hosting the “Ultimate Blog Party” where all of us bloggers write a little post about ourselves and then sign Mr. Linky over at 5 Minutes for Mom inviting the other bloggers to stop by.)

So- where was I?  Telling all of my visitors a bit about myself- I am married to the love of my life, Rich.  I am step-mom to 15 year old Brooke (who will be 16 in April) and I am mommy to 17-month old Hailey. 

When Hailey was born I decided to leave my teaching job to stay home full time with her.  A little over a year ago I was playing around on the Internet one day and I thought, “Hmmmm, I think I’ll try starting a blog.”  I thought that maybe I would upload some pictures once or twice a month to share with family and friends so that they could see what we were up to.

And now?  Well, I have two blogs and I post several times a day on both of them.  I am truly addicted.  (And by the way, if you haven’t joined my Blogaholics Anonymous Blogroll do be sure to check that out and leave me a comment if you’d like to join.)

I think I’m a pretty typical mommy blogger.  For the most part my blog is all about me and my family and the stuff that happens here from day to day.  I write about the adventures of being a stay-at-home mommy to a toddler, I talk about the fun I have with my family, and I complain about trying to lose some pregnancy weight (can I still call it that, 17 months later?). 

I’ve also recently started hosting Meme Monday where we save up all of our memes and post them each Monday.  It’s a way to help everyone keep up with all of the memes we get tagged to do.  So, if you’d like to join in- stop by on Monday and sign Mr. Linky so that all of the participants can check out your memes.

I hope you’ll grab a cup of coffee and stick around for a while.  Make sure to leave a comment for me so that I can stop by and visit you too!

If you have a chance- stop by my other blog Our Happy Happenings.

PRIZES:  There are tons of great prizes being given away at the Ultimate Blog Party.  My favorite prizes are:

  • #1- Black and White Rocking Horse
  • #32- Living the Dream Mom T-shirt
  • #85- Noah’s ABC Stacking blocks
  • Any of the gift certificates or cash
  • Anything toddler related- I have a 17 month old

Say What?!

March 6th, 2008 Melanie Posted in Meme Monday | 9 Comments »

About a week ago Andrea “high-fived” (her word for tagged) me for this fun hoopla (her word for meme).  And since I have about a bazillion memes saved up for Meme Monday I decided to do this one today.  Because it was created by Andrea and so it deserves special recognition.

This is how it works:

1. Post these rules on your blog.
2. Just list 10 things that won’t likely ever come out of your mouth.
3. High-five (or ‘tag’) any amount of people to do the same on their blog.
4. Then come back here to Lifesong and let me know that you did it.

So, here are 10 things you will never hear me say:

1. Don’t worry about it hon, I’ll go shovel the driveway.
2. It’s too bad spring is here, I’ve really been enjoying all this snow.
3. A free trip to Disney World?  No thanks, we’re all set.
4. Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip cookies?  Yuck.
5. Coffee?  No, I won’t be needing any of that today.
6. I can’t wait to walk on the treadmill today.
7. Why yes I do enjoy changing Hailey’s poopy diaper while she tries to climb up the wall.
8. It’s so nice to see that you’ve brought your obviously sick child to playgroup today.
9. I hope I don’t get any comments on my blog today.
10. Naahhh, I just don’t have any use for a million dollars.

I’m only going to tag two people: First, I’m tagging Regina because I know how she enjoys some good sarcasm.  And, I’m also tagging one of my newest blogging friends Kristen at We are That Family because she is hysterical and I think she’ll have a good time with this meme.  If you haven’t been by Kristen’s blog yet you should really stop by because in case I forgot to mention it- she is hysterical.

It Was So Much Fun The First Time….

March 1st, 2008 Melanie Posted in Hailey | 9 Comments »

…..That I just had to do it again. Earlier today I did a magazine cover with Brooke on it- right here if you missed it.  And I had so much fun playing around with MagMyPic that I had to do one for Hailey too.

I’m still thinking about doing one with me on it.  I don’t know yet.  We’ll have to see.
