It’s Ultimate Blog Party 2011 time! Hello and welcome to my little neck of the country. I’m actually in the burbs…I think. If you’re unsure what this is about 5 Minutes for Mom are hosting their annual Blog party where we all go around and meet and greet. There are also door prizes! Wahoo! One…or two of which are our own Vintage Home Planner CD

• Go and add your link to the Mclinky thing on 5 Minutes for Mom
• And visit and comment on at least 20 blogs.

Here are a few things about me.

1. I’m a Christian. I got saved at lunch with my sister back in college. I had always gone to church but never knew I needed to make that step.

2. I’ve been married to a very very very sweet man for 14 years. He is very wonderful and puts up with me.

3. We have one Sweet Peanut whom gratefully adopted us. She keeps us hopping.

4. We homeschool said Peanut using Bob Jones which is just chock full of fun. My nephew came out so smart and won all these scholarships to college so I’m following suit.

5. I’ve played the piano and guitar for our small church for 16 years…. or more. I learned as an adult and please don’t add it all up. It just means I’m old.

6.  I’m allergic to soybeans. Ick!

7. I like a good bargain but will pay for a great product.

8.  I love perfume but had to ask people to stop giving it to me for my presents because I have too much. (Can you have too much?)

9. I love soap too but that is one thing you can never have too much of so I have asked that they keep the soap coming.

10. I’m a novice porch gardener. I’ve ventured a little bit into the backyard and a couple of raised beds. This year I planted some onions out actually in the ground just to see what will happen.

11.I’m a former gymnast so to see my body go like this is really depressing. I will try to force myself back into exercise sometime before summer.

12. I started Homemaking Organized to keep me busy while waiting for our first placement as foster parents. The rest is history.

13. I started Vintage Homemaking because I find vintage homemaking tips so absolutely fascinating.

14. I put all the baby stuff from Homemaking Organized into Infant and Baby Needs because I didn’t have enough to do….just kidding.
