It's A Party...

Posted by Shauna |










You can come if you want too!

How fun - as if blogging wasnt fun enough! 5 Minutes for Mom is hosting the Ultimate Blog Party 2008 this week (7th-14th)! Go visit them and see what all the hype is about! There are prizes.....

Speaking of prizes - I am going to list a few of the ones that I would love to win. And just might win! So watch out!

1. $25 from Lori at http://www.acowboyswife.com/
2. $23 from Kristen at http://www.kailasmommy.blogspot.com/ - yes - some of these people are just giving cold hard cash away! I'll take it! :)
3. $25 Gift Certificate to Target from http://www.mommybytes.com/
4. Burt's Bees skin care kit from Geggie at http://www.geggieblog.blogspot.com/

There are tons more where this came from so go check it out!!!

See My Designs is also offering a Free Makeover for one lucky winner! Go visit my site and order a $15 Custom Header - yes - ONLY $15!!! :) Oh - and they rock.

Dont you just love blogging? I mean - really - it is so empowering - especially with something like this. I love to see all of these women out there - being creative and innovative to provide for their families while taking care of them! And it makes sense to buy from them when we can. Ok - Go to the Party! We just might have cake one day this week to celebrate. You know I love a good reason for cake!

Lastly - since I will be having a lot of new visitors coming around for the party - I want to tell you a little bit about me!

1. Shauna as the Mom: I have 3 fabulous kids. Mackenzie is 6, Chase is 4 and Macy is 2. They are wonderful, but a little ridiculous. {Like cutting their own hair, peeing in cups on kitchen counters, running around the neighborhood naked, and so on ridiculous} There are a number of posts on this blog dedicated to the ridiculousness. I try to throw in the wonderful parts as often as I can!

2. Shauna as the Wife: I married my wonderful husband Kip back in 2002. He is amazing...handsome - I mean really, really handsome...charismatic...ambitious...funny...an amazing dad...and he puts up with my crap - which is pretty amazing just in itself.

3. Shauna as the Christian: My amazing parents raised me to know Christ and follow His plan for my life. Although, I have stumbled and life isnt always easy - it is sure a lot easier than it could be otherwise. Doesn't God have a great life plan?! I think so!

4. Shauna as a Worker Bee: I left my job in Higher Education about 6 months ago to stay at home with these monsters! Being a SAHM is a lot tougher than I ever imagined. Much harder work than going into a cozy office every day...But much more rewarding! I recently started designing blogs and I LOVE it! It gives me a creative outlet and some extra cash for things like haircuts, Chick-fil-A, a gym membership, and a good gossip magazine every once in a while!

5. Shauna as Everything Else: I have a lot of other sides to me also. I have some amazing friends and family that I love to spend my time with! I love to decorate and paint and remodel our house - we are always working on a project around here. I like to read but usually cant sit still long enough. I love to work out but I havent been to the gym in a while. I love to cut and color my hair - one of my favorite things. I recently became a coffee addict...I am on my 4th cup today and I just LLLLOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEEEEE it! My husband thinks I am officially insane. Hmmm...there is much much more but you can just read through the blog to figure me all out!



Thanks so much for visiting and "partying" with me!

Nice to meet you, and thanks for visiting me! Had to laugh at the "ridiculous" part of your children, sounds strangely familiar to this house ;)
Happy partying!

You have such a beautiful family! Thanks for the lovely introduction. And my husband thinks I'm insane too! : ) I don't think it's so bad being insane. Life is far more interesting.

Not quite part of this party but just came across your site and noticed your name Shauna... that is what my daughter's name is going to be... it is a name you don't find often and if you do... it is spelt different...
