Welcome Party Animals!

It's Ultimate Blog Party 2010! WOOOOOOOOOOO! Yes, UBP turns me into a woo girl. I am just that excited. This is my THIRD year doing UBP and can I tell you how much I love it? I love it like koalas love getting drunk off eucalyptus.

WOOOOOO!

Let me introduce myself-I'm MrsM, and I'm (usually) not a woo girl. I am married to my other half of going on 8 years and we have three kidlets-Monkey (age 6), Baby Bug (age 2), and The Bean (age 10 months). I am an unschooler, a Resident Expert on Love, Marriage and Parenting, a blog designer (like my look? You can also check out my gal-pal Kirsty's blog-I did hers too), and otherwise a Jill of All Trades. I love to bake, throw themed children's birthday parties, and I am a GIANT nerd. I always try to keep it interesting around here, and I love having visitors, so take a load off and cruise around awhile.


You can go to my home page to check out old posts that I've featured, play with my etch-a-sketch, or take part in my latest poll. You can also check out my Sunday Ten Spot posts-I have top ten lists for everything including best internet videos, best TV moms, and top ten things I love to cook for dinner.

I am so excited to read new blogs, meet new people, and introduce all said new people to my current and fabulous readers who I know and love. [All good people---you can meet them in my comments or over there in the Google Friends dealie.] This week is going to be full of happy party fun times. On Friday (it's still Thursday here) I'll be posting about my favorite potluck foods, on Saturday I'll be posting about how to make an AWESOME party cake, on Sunday I plan on posting my Top Ten Dance Songs Of All Time, on Monday I'm going to walk you step by step through having an AWESOME (and inexpensive) China-themed kid's birthday party....so make sure to come back and visit. Also, if you want, please leave me a comment so I can make sure to stop by your place and get my UBP on!

Happy partying!

Check out my party themed posts!

popping in with the party and loving your little corner in cyber world. i just read your post about unschooling and find it very interesting. education is so important to my husband and i. little hawke will be 3 months tomorrow and i am already researching every school in denver (where we live) and thank goodness i have at least 3 years to figure out how we want to educate him about the basic stuff and about the world. im currently fascinated with the waldorf schools. unschooling will definitely be next on my research list and i will certainly be reading more on your blog!

Stopping in from UBP10. I'm really curiuos about your unschooling. I'll have to come back and read some more. We struggle right now with my stepdaughters there mother "chooses" not to get out of bed and take them, so I'm trying to find other means. Definately will follow and hope to see you around.

The blogs I enjoy most are those with a fabulous and irreverent sense of humor, so it was with great pleasure that I discovered yours today!

I'm visiting as part of the UBP. You can see what I'm up to at http://mominthebalance.com. I support moms in the sandwich generation to thrive even while life is completely crazy!
