Ultimate Blog Party 2010

Eck! I’m a newbie to this blog party and I’m so excited! I’m not really sure what to expect, but I’m looking forward to making some new friends and discovering some new blogs to follow. Cause I don’t have enough to do as it is, right?

Actually, I’m a newbie to the blogging world too. I’ve been at it since August 2009, that’s only 9 short months. But I absolutely love it. I’ve made some new friends, found some fantastic blogs to follow and found something to fill my days with.

I’m a graphic designer turned stay-at-home mom and I couldn’t be happier. Well, maybe if I had an iPhone, my life would be complete. I live in a small town in Central WI, with my 2 year old son, Dad-oo and our two pugs. I’m a red-headed, sassy, exercising and cooking momma. And I’m proud to be a mommy blogger.

To pass the time, I blog about life with my son, share recipes and my journey as a stay-at-home mom. I’m a sucker for blogging carnivals and love to host giveaways. In fact, I have a bunch going on right now (Baby Banz Bucket Hat, TicklerTags, Virgin Coconut Oil Book, and SeaPak Meal) to celebrate my son’s second birthday. I’m also a bit of a photo bug, and love to show off my photos. Wordless/WordFUL Wednesday and Give Me Your Best Shot are some of my favorite bloggy days of the week.

If you are new to my blog, make sure that you check out these posts, they are some of my favorites.

Of course I’m on Twitter and Facebook and I would love it if you follow me and become a fan. In fact, if you do, I’ll return the favor. And while you are at it, don’t forget to subscribe.

That’s a bit about myself, but I’d love to know more about you. If you are a long-time reader or if you just found me through UBP, leave a comment introducing yourself.

So fun!! I’ve been reading for a while and I didn’t know you were a graphic designer (should I have known that?), I suppose yes, given how lovely your blog design is.

Always love reading and that we get to share back and forth!

@Christine LaRocque, I haven’t talked much about being a designer since I left my job. I’ve found other outlets for my creativity now. Plus designing my blog helps. Actually, I’m thinking a redesign is in order…

I’m with you! I totally need an iPhone or an iPad! Oh well, at least I still have my iMac.

@Honey Mommy, I couldn’t live w/o my iMac. I don’t know the first thing about using a PC, they scare me. :-)
