Better Late then Never

Ultimate Blog Party 2010

I've had a multitude of thoughts about this blog party.

At first, I was going to do it but forgot. Then I thought it was too late but I wasn't going to let myself get too stressed about it. After all, there are alot of important things in life to get stressed about...like being out of Oreos. All that leads me to the main point of this paragraph{I know you're all glad to hear that}: lo and behold the party ends tomorrow! So here I am, bringing up the rear as guest #1,865.

If you want your jaw to drop as you exclaim "O,what a baby!" every single time you see a picture of him, visit them. If you like wearing cute high heels as you swirl your skirt{who doesn't?}, enter the fashion world of my real life friend Amanda. If you just need to smile, hop right over to Jenna's corner of the interworld.

If you ever have a minimum of four projects going at once, find joy in blowing dandelions, stay up late watching the World Series{Red Sox fans get extra credit}, make Oreo balls by special request, and find all the happiness you'll ever need in a baby's smile, I suggest you stick around here.

I don't have any sort of professional sounding mission statement for my blog{goodness knows there's not much professional about it}but who needs suits and ties and professionalism when you live with a whole bunch of people you love and spend your days living your life?

These are my people.

I love them to death.
{Regulars around here are quite familiar with this picture as it's appeared no less then 4 times already. I just can't stop myself from not posting it again. We'll have an updated family picture when Andrew and Debbie's wedding photographer is done with their pictures. I don't know why I felt I had to explain that.}

Here we have a never-before-seen picture of my bestest friend of ALL TIME, Katie and I.

"Living my life" is comprised, in a small part, of babysitting{hence the love of baby smiles}, making plans to kidnap permanently borrow all the cute children I come across, wishing I had $50 a week designated only to buying/giving to others, and being a matchmaker{my mom is always telling me "look what happened to Emma when she was a matchmaker!". I stand firm in the belief that I've been successful twice so I should be fine.} I'm also an excessive user commas, parentheses, italicizing, and exclamation marks!!! {In case you hadn't noticed!}. I love arts,crafts, photography, and volunteering. I'm trying to find a way to make a living out of volunteering. It seems to be an uphill battle. I can also{and be jealous about this one}hang a spoon from my nose.

That is definitely going to find its way onto the resume I hand my future husband! ; )

Very cute blog! I LOVE oreo balls, but never seem to be able to make them.... I always eat the oreos first!

Beautiful blog.

I didn't find you through UMB...but through BlogFrog. Just thought you'd like to know!

And, I love the excessive punctuation. I'm with you there...it spices things up!

Blessings to you!

I was a late comer to the party as well, and I am even later trying to go round and see people.
Cute blog title, daffodils are my favourite flowers.

I was a late comer to the party (and am still partying long after it ended...) Cute blog. I was drawn to your name. I just love daffodils.

Most of my giveaways are for kid things, but tomorrow I have one for an Earth Day tee from Hanes! Come check it out :)
