Ultimate Blog Party 2008

I have never participated in a blog party before so here it goes…

Our family loves a good party….

Welcome to My Blog Party

With eight people in our family it feels like we are always having a party.

We have a goofy one…

Welcome to My Blog Party

the sleepy one…

the princess

the adventurous one…

Welcome to My Blog Party

the crazy one…

Welcome to My Blog Party

the responsible one…

Welcome to My Blog Party

the mom and dad

Welcome to My Blog Party

and just in case you are wondering… yes, I do dress like that everyday…

I like to write about saving money, my kids, my life, food, crafts and homeschooling.

So stop on by…

there’s always food in the fridge (stone crab claws for those who are wondering)

Welcome to My Blog Party

Someone here even thinks we should bake a cake…

Welcome to My Blog Party

so grab yourself a chair and make yourself at home, there’s always room for one more at our table…

Welcome to My Blog Party

OK, whatever is in your fridge there is really scaring me.

Did you ever make cake batter cookies with Funfetti cake mix? They are AWESOME (and cheap and quick).

Let’s get this party started…

What a terrific family you have – but, then again, you already know that – I have to say, the “adventurous one” scares me a little. Thanks so much for having us and it is very nice to meet you. Enjoy the rest of the week!

I think the wrong family was featured on “Full House”.
What a wonderful group you are.

I can identify with the one who thinks it is a good idea to bake a cake.

Many blessings to you all!

What a gorgeous family you have. You need to bring us some of that there crab in your fridge so we can grill it on our patio on the ocean. I haven’t had any seafood since we got here! Thanks for visiting us and enjoy the party!

Oh my! Crazy I’d say! Only now I’m a little scared because after relatively easy twins, I now have a 2 year old that would do that swing trick in a heart beat if she could figure it out.
Love the dress! You rock homeschool momma!
party on!

I see your grocery goal. Do you know about The Grocery Game? If not, check it out (www.thegrocerygame.com). I use the Grocery Game, but I’m not affiliated in any other way. :)
