Ultimate Blog Party



Five Minutes for Mom is hosting their 5th Annual Ultimate Blog Party this week.  New blogs, prizes, facebook pages...  a great virtual party.

If you are stopping by from the blog party, I'm Debra.  I'm a mostly stay at home, homeschooling mama to my five kids.  I do a lot of product reviews and the occasional giveaway (I should be posting a couple of giveaways during this party, so check back!) and otherwise find other stuff to blather on about.

I try to blog about life as it really is here.  Some days are great, some are pretty horrid, and most are somewhere in between.  I suspect that is how it is for lots of people.  I try on this blog to not pretend otherwise.

Once upon a time, I worked in accounting.  I have this dim memory of being a CPA... seems like a lifetime ago. I was a biology major for a short time, and my homeschool life reflects all of this background fairly well -- we're science-y, math-y geeks here, and we love a good story (see my Read-Aloud Challenge post from this morning!)

Thanks for stopping in to see me!  I look forward to meeting all kinds of fun people in this week-long gala.

Hello Debra,
Nice to meet you. I am already a follower and fellow crew member, but I'm hopping around reading these introduction posts from other crew members participating in the Blog Party. It's nice to get to know a little more about each one of you!

Hi! I'm Rachel! I'm dropping in from www.upperbottom.com. Found your site through UBP and I'm loving it! I kind of want to eat your baby, though : )

I've been blogging since 2007. Hope to see you over at UpperBottom and at the twitter party (@upperbottom, just look for the white dog art- that's me).

Cheers and Happy Saturday!
