Blog Party

I'm inviting everyone to join me for the blog party hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom. It is a way of finding lots of cool blogs to read. There are prizes too. Be sure to check it out.

Here's my intro:
My name is Vicky. I'm a happily married stay at home mom to Caitlin (2 years 9 months) and Davey (9 months). My husband Dave is a wonderful husband and dad. He still drives me crazy in the good (and every so often the bad) way. This is my "secret" blog. It is a place where I can write about whatever I want without worrying about offending the in-laws or hurting my mom's feelings. I feel like my other blog is just so the family can get photos of the kids more often. Sometimes I think they don't read the writing and just look at the pics. So here is a place I can write/vent and talk about whatever I want.

Maximus, the yellow wonder pup, is ready for the party

I mostly write about adjusting to life with two sweet and spirited kids, one loving husband, and one mischievous yellow labrador. I also write about dieting (who doesn't?), exercise, and making friends with other moms.

There are so many cool prizes to be won at this year’s Ultimate Blog Party, but my top three picks would be: 50 Nights of Family Fun offered by Essential Family Living, the rocking horse offered by A rocking Horse to Love, and the Klean Kanteen sippy cup from Non Toxic Tots.

And if my top three picks are already chosen, I’d love any of the following (in order of preference):

9,10, 11, 12, 23 or anything else related to babies and young children since I have a 9 month old and a 2 year 9 month old.

Doesn't anonymous blogging feel so free? I moved my blog last year when I realized my SIL had found it. Hope you're enjoying the "party"!!!

TiVoMama said...

Nice to meet you! I sometimes wish my blog was more private, but I blabbed to everyone that I have it.

I'll be back for more secrets later.

BTW - I have giveaway you can enter on my blog. Check it out!

Love your blog!

I blabbed about mine, too... kinda wish I hadn't!

Milk Mama said...

I love to blog, too! You must be busy with a nine month old and a two year old! But I want that, too. One more baby, that is.... soon, soon! :)


Happy party going!

Funny... I've been thinking about having a "secret" blog so I can vent out my family/friends/in laws without anyone knowing.

I had an serious venting post about my mother in law but deleted it just in time before my hubby sent the "grandkid update" to them.

Great concept. Party on!

A anonymous post, that is such a good idea. Thanks. Just stopping by to say hi, I definitely will be back to visit.

Have a Happy Blog Party!!

I know what you mean about posting for family vs. not. Even though I'm not blogging anonymously (hmm...but I might start) I do have a blog set up that is *just* pictures of the kids and it's the only blog I've told my parents about. I used to write posts, but I don't even bother anymore. I just post pics of the kids and I started a new blog where I could actually, you know, Blog!

How funny - my blog is a secret blog too - I haven't even mentioned about it to my husband (this type of stuff doesn't interest him anyway). It's one of the reasons I don't put my name on the blog. It's a blessing to have a place to just say stuff without worrying about a reaction. Happy blog party!!!!

Hi from a Fellow Blog Party Mom! It's very nice to meet you. I love your description on the side. Yep, I didn't realize how difficult it would be to stay sane by staying home. Love being with the little ones, but, wow, it's a huge job!

I haven't told my family about my blog either. Not sure I want to. I like the idea of a "secret blog." Sounds mysterious and fun. Thanks for letting me stop by your party!

I also have a "secret" blog that I am worried my family will find out about! Nice to meet you!

I've been thinking of doing an anon blog too since family & friends read mine and then I can never vent about them.

Nice to "meet" you, and happy blog party!

BeachMama said...

Happy Panda said...

WOW - I'm honored to be in your top 10 of prize choices. Good luck with drawing and have a great time party hopping. Thanks for stopping in to say thank you!

Meshellyn said...

Great to meet you, loving the party! I understand about the anonymous blogging, I accidentally sent my family all my blog address when sending them the update of my daughter's blog... I had to back track and make sure that I hadn't written anything that would be offensive in the past 4 years... oops! Stop by my blog sometime this week when you have a chance, we're partying it up over there, haha, just kidding, it's a pretty normal week :)

Meshellyn said...

Oh, I have a nine month old too. They are so much fun exploring everything!

Melanie said...

I love your blog, I'm so glad I stopped by. Enjoy the party!!

Hi, Vicky. Secrets! Me lurv secrets!

I also have one, by the way ;-) Then I found out I don't write in it as much, because all I really wanted to write about is me and my boys.

On second thought, I didn't really announce it to family, just close friends who don't judge me no matter what. So my ORIGINAL BLOG IS ALSO A SECRET BLOG. Hmm...

lol :-D
