It's Time for Ultimate Blog Party 2013

It's time to PARTY!! And what's a party without food?  I'm having some homemade strawberry and cream cheese toaster strudel.

.
They are delicious.  So grab yourself a snack and let's get to know each other.

I'm Jennifer, wife, mother, homemaker, home schooler, and part-time nurse.  I am married to my high school sweetheart for 19 years this August.  Life has been one blessing after another with struggles and trials mixed in.

We have 6 children, three boys and three girls. Their ages are 23 months, 4 yrs, 8 yrs, 10 yrs, 13 yrs, and 14 yrs.

So,  what can you expect when you visit?

Mostly family stuff - I started the blog to share our lives with friends and family far away who don't get to see us much. I love taking pictures and this was a way to share our family with them.  I also share life with a big family; packing, our struggle with a grocery budget,  my attempts at frugal shopping, etc.  

I also post some recipes.  I enjoy cooking;  the clean up, not so much (but hey, I have a crew to help with that, right?).  With the size and various tastes of my family,  I do a lot of experimenting with recipes I find.  I try to share the favs (though I'm often in such a hurry I forget some of the pictures)!!  The menu planning has helped tremendously with food prep since I also DESPISE grocery shopping.

As I mentioned before,  I home school the crew.  One of my goals for next school year is to document the year blog style - a blogging yearbook!! I think that sounds like such fun.

Any other questions,  just ask.  Believe me,  I don't mind.  Here's a post with some of the most asked questions.  Leave a comment and introduce yourself.  I love meeting new people in the blog world and  I love getting new ideas to try on my family (they love it too).

Thanks so much for stopping by and have fun at the Ultimate Blog Party 2013.
