It's Party Time!

The party's started, so come and celebrate with me! Today is the first day of the Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom. It's a party for bloggers and non-bloggers alike and lasts all week long until March 14th. I'd love to party with all of you, so feel free to stop by and leave a comment!

I've been blogging for about two months now and I really enjoy it. It's nice having a place to write all my thoughts down and to share them with people. I'm a twenty-something living in San Diego with my husband, and I spend my days with my adorable 11 month old son. I write about all the "sparkles" in life - anything mommy or baby related, restaurants, books, fun websites, products and just things I like in general. I hope to have a great party week with friends (old and new) and hope you'll enjoy it too!


Oh, and did I mention that you can win prizes? Here's what I'm hoping to win:

1. $60 gift certificate to Mikarose provided by Liza's Eyeview

2. Blog design provided by Sweet 'n Simple Design

3. Blog design provided by Summer

If my top three picks are already chosen I would also love to win numbers 67,59,71, and 140 on the prize list or any gift cards would also be great. Check out the enormous prize list at 5 Mnutes for Mom...and have fun at the party!

    What a cute way to say it... "the sparkles in your life". ;) I'm going to ponder over that one. I like to call things a "God Thing". My kids have picked that phrase up. Sometimes my son will look up at a sunset and tell me, "Mom, God went ALL OUT today, didn't He?" :) That is a "Sparkle" moment for me!

    Okay, I have to ask. The risk of looking stupid be darned! How in the world do you do that "sticky note" thing? I'm fairly computer illiterate, so please explain (anyone!), but type slowly so I can understand. :-)
    Happy blog partying!
