A HUGE party…

March 22, 2009 Lana

5 minutes for mom, is having a huge blogging party! Please go here and see!

Ultimate Blog Party 2009

If you came from the party, then WELCOME!!!!
This blog is about my journey with our family of seven. We are re-making our home into the 21st century (it was made in the 70’s). We are showing our progress along with our adventures of homeschooling and just growing up (the kids, too). We hope you come back time and time again! Join us by the Follower button, the readers or just come back daily! We hope to bring you some encouragement!

May the Lord truly bless you today!

There are so many cool prizes to be won at this year’s Ultimate Blog Party,
but my top three picks would be:

  • 89 – $100 gift card to HomeGoods
  • 88 –$40 gift certificate to Carrabba’s Grill
  • 68 – $30 gift certificate to Christian Book Distributors

My next choices if those were picked would be:

2,5,17,and 19.

If I could pick from the USC list:
(Not sure if I can.)

I’d pick the 21, 58 (I LUV damask), and 40.

    Oh, are you on GoodReads? 🙂 I see you have a Shelfari account! I love comparing books and GoodReads is the BEST I’ve seen so far for connecting with friends and seeing what they’ve read, commenting on their reviews, etc. Let me know if you join!

    Thanks for visiting my blog! 🙂 I’ve loved Anne since I was a kid and regularly re-read the books (especially Anne of the Island, my favorite), so my blog does have a bit of that. 🙂

    There are lots of awesome prizes, aren’t there? It seems like enough for everyone to win something! I hope so! lol

    Following your blog now!

    Just stopped by to check out your blog from UBP. Love Skyline Chili. I have a full out recipe for it, so I’ve never used the little packets to which you refer. My husband was hesitant to try it at first.

    Happy Partying. Stop by.

    Party hopping for the UBP. Decided to start at the end of the list, because I’m just crazy that way. 5 kids — wow!!! Really admire anyone who has that amount of patience.

May the LORD bless you and keep you; May the LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; May He turn His face toward you and give you peace. Feel free to leave a comment - we LOVE to hear your thoughts! ~Blessings to you!~ ~You are so loved!~ ~Lana (Like Banana)~
