It’s time for the Ultimate Blog Party of 2012!

- I talk to myself out loud. And answer.
- Volunteering and making donations are important to me.
- My daughters are 12 years apart. My sister and I are 11 years apart. My husband and I are one year and 5 days apart, a few social security numbers apart and pretty much opposites.
- I forget everything unless I write it down, add it to three calendars and set an alarm clock.
- I love going to conferences just to meet new friends. I’ve been to a few including Disney Social Media Moms, so I wrote about how to get ready and make the most of your time there.
- Chocolate is one of my favorite food groups. So is cake, cookies, potato chips, ice cream and fast food.
- I’m a cheap date. Just ask my husband.
- One of my favorite quotes is “If you are too busy to laugh. You are too busy.” – unknown
- I am a strong mother.
- My life is a jumbled, mixed up chaotic mess, but it’s always centered around my family.

I am SO with you on writing everything down.
I do that too. People think I’m nuts with an alarm going off with my phone and a hand held planner with 100 sticky notes. I’m glad you understand. And my sister and I are 10 years apart. I totally get it.
Maybe we’re related?
That is a lovely picture of you and all….but where is your smile my friend? You have a pretty smile
Loved the video. LMFAO’s song always puts me in a good mood. And now that song is in my head…..

I love it! Thanks for partying with us.
Great song pick… exactly what I need to wake myself up this morning.
Fabulous photo, I’m sure you don’t look a day older. LOL
I was dancing to that song as soon as I found it. And of course I don’t look any different than that photo

That’s right, so what if I want to make everyone think I still look like I did 17 years ago? I’m cool with that!

I love the food groups – would love to see a pyramid of those so I make sure I’m eating the correct amount of each one!
I’m 42, have been married to a preacher for 20 years, and I have three daughters – 18, 15, & 5! Thanks for commenting on my blog and I look forward to catching up with you here!
That’s a good idea about the food groups. I wonder if we can start our own food pyramid?
Love the picture! You and I have a lot in common then. I too talk to myself, forget everything and am a cheap date LOL.

You had me at “I talk to myself out loud. And answer.” SO glad to know that I’m not the only person out there who does that. So far I’ve managed not to do it in public. I think.
Love your blog and will be reading it regularly. Even though my child is only five, I think it’s never too early to get ready for tweens.
The heart of my blog, Caterpickles, are the crazy questions my Five-Year-Old asks as she explores the world around her. When I’m not tracking down answers to her questions, I’m typing as fast as I can to document the funny stuff The Five-Year-Old says and the moments in which my parenting style totally breaks down. Lots of books get read and talked about too. Mostly on Thursdays.

Talking out loud in public is even better. I may start doing that now that you’ve mentioned it. Maybe I’ll get taken away and get some time off! Five year olds are the best – all smiles, wanting to hold mamma’s hand and making macaroni crafts. Enjoy it!

Hey Connie! Great site! Thanks for stopping by to see me, too! Have a great party week!

Like what you’re doing here. I complain about the kids a lot and make snarky comments about my husband on my blog. I think we’d get along swell.
