Ultimate Blog Party 2009

Wel­come!

This week, I am tak­ing part in the Ulti­mate Blog Party that is being hosted at one of my very favorite (and most talked about sites) 5 Min­utes for Mom! How fun! If you want to host a blog warm­ing party at your house, you can sign up on the Mr. Linky and start blog hop­ping. They are also giv­ing away many amaz­ing prizes. When it comes to free stuff, I really am not picky, but I do think that I wouldn’t mind #1, 2, 17, 19 (Who could not use $50 at Tar­get???), 21, 22, 26, 30, 44, 45, 58, 91, 103, 106, 118, and 119. I think I will stop there. I don’t want to appear greedy. :) How fun! Have I said that yet?

Here is a lit­tle bit about me, my fam­ily, and my blog for those who don’t know me.

I am Casey. I am a 29 year old stay at home mom. I taught spe­cial edu­ca­tion before I made the choice to stay at home. I have a 3 year old boy (K) and a 1.5 year old boy (A). I am mar­ried to their won­der­ful father, Jason. We have been mar­ried for 6 .5 years now. It def­i­nitely doesn’t seem like it has been that long at all.

If I were to host a party at my house, it would be a family-friendly, easy going get together. There would likely be kids run­ning all over the place rid­ing trac­tors or play­ing with legos. The adults would be sit­ting around hav­ing a snack and wait­ing for the taco bar to be ready. (That is my favorite enter­tain­ing food.)

My blog cov­ers many dif­fer­ent top­ics from breast­feed­ing to cloth dia­per­ing to read­ing to healthy eat­ing to run­ning to asthma and eczema to hav­ing two chil­dren less than two years apart. I often write blog posts in my head only to have them dis­ap­pear for days or weeks in my mind before I get them down in writing.

Come on in! Have a look around, and make your­self comfortable.

    I. Love. Your. Site. Really.

    I have a bachelor’s degree in SPED, but I never got a chance to teach beyond my stu­dent teach­ing and sub­sti­tut­ing. I was blessed with my first daugh­ter before col­lege grad­u­a­tion and chose to be a SAHM instead. I do miss it, though!

    I will totally be return­ing! Happy blog party!

    My blog ideas come to me in the shower and I tend to lose them as well. I do have a run­ning Word doc­u­ment where I add ideas (of course, when I’m not in the shower). Have a won­der­ful UBP and thanks for vis­it­ing my site.

    I teach Alge­bra at our local high school. I would love to visit with you again for some spe­cial edu­ca­tion insight.
