It’s that time of year again! Time for the 5MinutesforMom Ultimate Blog Party! Pour yourself a tasty drink, kick back on your couch and start checking out the hottest bloggers on the planet!
If you came in from 5MinutesforMom, welcome to my humble corner of the net! I’m Shannan, wife and mom to a wild brood of boys and work-at-home freelance writer and community manager. There’s not a lot to say about me, really. I’m 31, live in Delaware and like to read in the little spare time that I have. I write for several sites, besides my own, including Family Eden, Type-A Mom, Party Planning Professor and several more. Oh, and I’m addicted to Twitter. Like Intervention addicted – follow me and see for yourself!
My crew at home consists of:
My oldest son, J, the 14 yr old sarcastic, too-grown-for-his-own-good gamer;
3 yr old K, the smart-as-a-whip enforcer, who’s addicted to Thomas the Tank Engine;
And my sweet 23 month old baby D, the adventurous one, who’s a closet cuddly mama’s boy.
These three, plus my sweet hubby who hates when I put his pictures on the blog (even though I sneak one in occasionally) are the loves of my life. Take a look around to learn a bit more about us, and be sure to check out my reviews section. I have a some new ones that will be posted throughout the week, including some giveaways! Keep checking back!
And what’s a party without presents?! 5MinutesforMom has some of the most wonderful prizes, from great sponsors, that they are giving away to some lucky Ultimate Blog Party participants. Some of my own favorites from the list are:
- Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer
- $50 gift certificate to Target Stores
- $100 gift certificate to either Pedal Cars and Retro or A Rocking Horse To Love
- Core Fitness for Mom DVD from Moms into Fitness (trying to get in shape for Blogher!)
- $50.00 Gift Vouchers to Hatley
But I’d love to win just about anything there! What awesome stuff!
But I couldn’t let my visitors here walk away without a chance to win, too! Thanks to Adrienne at Adrienne’s House, I have an awesome door prize to give to one of you.
How would you like to pamper yourself with F.Y.I. Arbonne Glitz and Glam Shimmering Powder? Look and smell fabulous at your next real life party!
All you have to do is leave a comment to win! If you want a second entry, subscribe to my blog through a reader or email and leave a second comment that you did! The giveaway closes on March 27th at 11:59 pm and the winner will be emailed. If prize is not claimed within 72 hours, another winner will be drawn. US addresses only, please.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I’m so excited to visit all of you and make some great new bloggy friends thanks to the Ultimate Blog Party!

I’m still just blog hopping through the Ultimate Blog Party link list. I didn’t want to miss out on any blogs… but I just ran out of party time. So… I’m still working my way down the list… even though the party is technically over.
Stop in on my blog if you’ve got a minute! Or… if you’re still up for a party post… you could stop by my party anytime!
