Blog Party 2008!

Jump to Comments

The ladies of 5 Minutes For Mom are hosting a blog party. Think of it as a meet-and-greet of your blog neighbors! Details can be found here. There are even prizes!! The growing list of participants is here.

Last time there were hundreds of participating blogs, and I am sure there will be as many again this time, so I won’t keep you long or ask you to jump through any hoops. I am glad you came by to say hello.

So come on in — have a Peanut Butter Kiss cookie..

This was made with a shortcut recipe — I am all about quick and easy in the kitchen.

As for just a little bit about me: I am “middle-aged,” have been married to my husband Jim for 28 years, and have three boys ages 23, 20, and 14. I am thoroughly enjoying this time of life when the boys are older and a little more independent but no one has flown the coop yet. That day is coming all too soon! I have been privileged to be a stay at home mom ever since my first pregnancy and keep active with my home, family, and church. I enjoy reading, writing, decorating, and some crafting. I love Christian biographies and Christian fiction, sacred and some classical music, hearts, pink roses, Boyd’s Bear figurines, and chocolate. Oh, and blogging. I have been blogging a little over a year and a half after reading and enjoying several other blogs. Rather than having one particular aspect, my blog is multi-faceted, just like my life. Though I am not an expert or a counselor, I hope to pass along things the Lord has taught me and glorify Him in the fun and fellowship as well as the weightier considerations from His Word.

I became a Christian at the age of 17, and I am so thankful for the Lord’s grace in leading me to Himself and extending His mercy to me every day.

You can find out more about me in my 100 things post. Feel free to have a look around, stay as long as you’d like, and come again soon: the door is always open!

Updated to add: I didn’t realize at first we were supposed to list the prizes we were interested in here — lat year we just listed them in the comments on the prizes page. So here is what I am interested in:
