Hey! Welcome to my part of the 5 Minutes for Mom blog party! I'll make it quick since I know you have a lot of blog hopping to do. So here's a little bit about me:
I'm a nearly 30 year-old stay-at-home-mom to two of the cutest girls you'll ever see. That is, of course, a totally unbiased opinion. Right? I'm married to a Colorado State Trooper who LOVES his job almost as much as he loves us.
I love doing weekly memes like Wordless Wednesday, Thursday Thirteen, Friday's Feast and Saturday Photo Hunt. I tend to blog a lot about my kids and when the Red Sox are playing I mention them a lot too. We
I have a few giveaways up my sleeve that I'll be posting soon. So be sure to check back often for your chance to win.
I'm also on a weight loss journey, dang this "baby weight!" If you're like me and are struggling along then come visit me at Bye Bye Fat Mom! and we can encourage each other along.
Also as part of this party there are a bunch of awesome prizes like:
12 beautiful bows from Mommy Mandy
$25 paid by PayPal from Lori at A Cowboy's Wife
A baby sling from Sarah at SassyFrazz
My list of preferences would be: 34, 50, 59, 55, 60, 70, 91, 102, 124, 117, 140, 129, 4...But really, I'd like any of the prizes, especially the ones geared for moms of little ones or CASH! lol! :)
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment so I can visit your party post! Have fun blog hopping!

Great post and fun blog. Angela
I used to be a Red Sox fan, back when Jody Reed was on the roster, but really, I was a 14 year old girl with a crush...
Nice to meet you, pardon me while I mingle, hi, how are you?
Hello! Nice party. I hope I DON'T meet your husband next time I fly through, er drive through, Colorado! Please join me at http://mom2ways.blogspot.com/2008/03/party-time.html.
Your blog header is so stinkin' cute!! Great post!
Hi there! Great to meet you... I am here in NH!! Did you live here with your hubby? Will be back:)
WOW -- this is some party here.
Has anyone called the police about the loud music yet? LOL
The music is always interesting on this blog!
Just an additional note on your note on my note that was in your blog previously -- Canobie Lake -- you will love it there, extremely clean and well kept, the landscaping is outstanding. Your husband will see the huge changes there. Last August the man who was in charge, whom your husband worked for most likely, passed away.
Nuff from me. Have a great weekend! Stop on by and visit my blog party, love to have you!
Hello, nice design. HOpe to see you at my blog party.

Great blog! I love the whole Red Sox theme. We're sort of that way about the Patriots, but not quite so "intense". :)
Come on over to The Downtown Boutique...we're giving away nine prizes!
Angie

Nice to meet you! Great blog! Have fun partying!
Happy Blog Party!! Enjoy!!
I love your taste in music too! Mad World and Hallelujah are so beautiful. And I think the Mrs Robinson remake by the Lemonheads is probably the best remake ever...
I think it's marvelous that your husband loves his job. It's a hard job...not easy for you, either, I image.
Your blog is great! I am going to have to add a link on mine! By the way, my party post is up so come on over!!
We are Pats fans in our house but we love the Red Sox too. Thanks for letting me stop by. I'll check out your other blog too. I'm still trying to lose the baby weight.
Nice to meet you! I'll be back! :-)
all i have to say is go giants...LOL

Bye Bye Fat Mom, ha, love the name of that! My fiancee (currently pregnant) wants to do the complete opposite and keep her baby fat. She's been small all her life and has tried many, many ways to gain weight with no luck. So now she's hoping this works out for her!
And thanks for stopping by our blog! Party on!
Hi! Just stopped by for the party! I may just have to pop by your Bye Bye Fat Mom site! Honestly, though, as the wife of a born and bred Yankees Fan, I'm not sure that I'd be allowed to consort... :)
Hello meme buddy! Too cool! I found a blogger I have already met-woohoo! Great Party! Come on over and check mine out: http://mercedesrules.wordpress.com/2008/03/08/blog-party-time/
Wow! So many comments. Lucky you.
I have a brand new dessert blog and I'm hosting a party too. I hope you'll come visit. ;-)
Thanks for coming to my party. :-)
Nice to meet you. I love your play list. What a nice variety. Hope you're enjoying the party. Stop by my site some time.
People often ask my husband and I how we ended up where we are too. You have to reach for the stars and live your life because life is just too short and you never know what is around the next corner.
I wish you and your family all the best and hope his job is all that he dreamed of.
Drop by my blog anytime.

Ciao, pleased to meetcha :)
My brother is a lifelong Red Sox fan so while I was living in Philly, I got tix to the BoSox/Phillies game for his birthday.
My brother proceeded to catch 2 homerun balls, one from the Phillies side and the other...Nomar's 100th homerun. Nomar asked politely for it back and then gave my brother one of his bats, signed. Which we then rode home with on the subway...very classy!
You think I ever have to get my brother another birthday gift? I don't think so either ;)
Come visit my party in southern Italy when you get a chance!
So sweet of you to stop by my bloogy world!! Yours is so fun - you even got music to add to the ambiance!!!! Nice!
Wow, your grandma AND her twin are both survivors? So cool. My Grandma was a survivor too - she passed away (natural causes) in November at the sweet age of 95!!!!
Enjoy the party!!!!
