You know that awful dream where you realize you’re supposed to be somewhere an hour after you were supposed to be there, and then you have to try on every item of clothing in your wardrobe to find something appropriate (and that fits) to wear, and then you hop in your car and get horribly lost on your way there and never do actually arrive before the dream ends? (No? Just me?) Well anyway, I feel like I’m living that dream.
Nobody told me this week was the Ultimate Blog Party 2009 over at 5 Minutes for Mom!!! I know I’ve been living under a rock since my new baby girl was born three weeks ago, but I really don’t know how I missed this. I had so much fun at last year’s party that I decided, better late than never, and here I am!
If you’re here visiting from the party – welcome! I am Jodi, a happily married stay-at-home mom to four lovely girls under the age of five. I am a Christian, and I always hope that my blog is a blessing to those who read it. Occasionally I manage to write deep thoughts about God, but a lot of the time, it’s just my wonderful if ordinary life around here.
Have a look around if you like, and let me know you stopped by!
(By the way, very sorry for the vague reference to this song in the title of my post. It’s an occupational hazard of having small children that you get songs like this lodged in your brain so firmly that you can hardly think the word “party” without getting them stuck in your head for days. Sorry if I’ve done the same to you now!)
Hi! Just popped over from the UBP, and I like it here a lot! Your girls are beautiful, congrats on your newest little one. I loved reading your homebirth story…hoping for a similar experience myself the next time around!
Happy Partying!
Stopping by from the UBP to say ‘hello’ and offer my congrats on the new baby! I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend!
Congrats on your baby girl-we had our first four months ago!
PS, I have dreams like that, but they usually involve me being late for some sort of test?? Ha, so you aren’t alone.
Wow 3 weeks ago! Congrats on your new little one! My daughter will be 2 next month, but it feels like yesterday she was that small…so sweet!
I’m party hopping! Hope to see you at my party! I’m also a Jodi.

Hiya! Stopping by from the UBP! Congrats on your newest blessing! I think we can cut you some slack for not realizing that it was UBP time since you just had a baby. Lol.
Blog hopping as part of the UBP. It is very nice to meet you and your blog. I have a toddler learning/ fun activities site. I also review childrens products. I am looking forward to adding to my blog list (definitely don’t need to it is already so big but can’t help myself because I love reading blogs). Have fun with the party!
