Ultimate Blog Party 2009!

The Ultimate Blog Party of '09 has started. It runs from March 20-27th. The button is on the sidebar and the link is below so feel free to check it out. Lots of great prizes and lots of great friends. It's the social gathering of the year in blogsville. 5 Minutes for Mom is one of the hosts. There are already over 684 Family Friendly Linked Sites on there...one of them being mine, of course. I hope to see you all there and I hope everyone has a great time!
This is my first one so I am taking full advantage of meeting new people and checking out all the great blogs that are on there.
I am a 37 year old mother of one...a 21 year old daughter who is attending her second year of university. I have been married for almost 12 years, although we have been together for almost 20 years this year. I have 2 wonderful furbabies, who are pictured on my blog. That's about all there is to say about me!

Here are some of the prizes that I would like to win:
Intl #3 - $15 gift certificate to Amazon.com from mommy bytes
Intl #8 - One Karmin Salon Pro G3 Hair Styling Iron courtesy of My Hair Styling Tools
Intl #30 - $15 e-card to Amazon.com from Tree, Root, and Twig
Intl #61 - $30 gift credit to Amazon.com from Robynn’s Ravings

USC #20 - 1 RockNRule Mom tee and 1 Grateful Mom tee and 1 Grateful Mom tank from Promom Couture

On Our Ordinary Life one can find a long list of topics including family friendly organic recipes, reviews of products, fun family giveaways, fabulous places to visit, real life issues, and many things in between.

Parenting advice is added in along the way including everything from tips for traveling with kids and dealing with the increasing tantrums of toddler and childhood to pregnancy and health with anything else found useful and helpful by their family.

Kristin has been online and consistently creating new and original content under the Ordinary Life brand since 2006.
