Celebrating 100 Followers...

Here it was in October of last year and my dear friend Amanda showed me how to start a blog.  I remember feeling super excited about the fact that I really got to journal all the things that happen in our family.

I also remember thinking how is anyone ever going to want to follow me.  I just watched what other people did and learned a lot in the beginning of what NOT to do.  LOL

Then the followers started coming.  I remember being so thrilled at the fact that I had 3 followers...no that wasn't a type...I really did say 3!  Just the thought that I am journaling my thoughts and learning how theraputic it was...and people really read about and learn from your life. 

I have had the opportunity to connect with so many awesome moms from all walks of life...stay at home moms, several multiples moms, work from home moms (like myself), working moms, stay at home dads, etc.

In the short time that I have been blogging...156 posts...I have been featured on Multiples and More and Something To Talk About.  That was such an honor.  And Multiples and More has asked me to write a guest post on working from home while raising twins and how I balance the two.  So that will be coming up in the next couple of weeks. 

I am thankful for all the followers that I have and want you to know that I follow you back and enjoy each and everyone of your blogs.  Also, thank you to all of you who have in someway or another influenced my blog.

God bless you all and please remember the reason for the season tomorrow.  Jesus gave his life for our sins...and we should be forever grateful.  I am thankful to be a committed Christian above all else. 

Happy Easter!

Beautiful Blogger Award...

 Here are the rules:

1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award and insert a link to their blog.

~7 Things About Me~

1)  I am the baby of 5 kids...4 girls, one boy...in the above picture is all of us with my mom.

2)  Music is everything to me...it can make a bad day good and a good day great!  I also LOVE to dance and in another life I had the lead roll in Step Up 2...I wish.

3)  I am a major animal lover...besides cats.  I know thats odd but I wasn't raised with them and quite frankly they scare the hell out of me when they jump out from under the bed and get me.

4)  I was a twin, my mom miscarried while she was pregnant with me and the doctor told her it was a twin.

5)  I do not use the word "fat" ever...I think it is a very derrogative word no matter how you use it.  My girls are not allowed to use it either.

6)  I was a huge athlete in high school...basketball was my game!  I played for about 11years...and have coached since I was 19.  Now our new house has a basketball court and my girls just started their first year.  God is good!

7)  I am the type of person that people either REALLY like or REALLY don't.  There is usually no in between.  And I'm good either way. :)
