Show Off Your Blog Party

This is our 2nd Show Off Your Blog Party. Thank you to Jessica of The Wondering Brain for hosting and creating this blog party.

Hope you guys link up!

First off,  we want to thank everyone who particpated in last week's SHOW OFF Blog Party!! It was the first one and can I say this? 

Our premiere blog party generated a total of 101 Blog Posts!! I do want to share the kudos with the bestest co-hostees ever:

Jules @ A Dose of Jules

Brittany @ oh my darlin & i

Tiffany @ Gladiator in Heels

If it weren't for their enthusiasm and positive attitude we wouldn't have accomplished such a number on the very first blog party!! 

Now... this party isn't called a SHOW OFF Party for nothing! We wanted to spread the love and feature our favorite posts so we can show you off some more! Here are our faves from last week:

Voicemails To My Husband

We all love our husbands, so why not leave them sweet nothings on their voicemails? 

You're Never Too Old to Need Your Mom  

It doesn't matter whether your 1 or 41, when do you ever NOT need mom? 

Forty, Foxy, Fabulous, and Fine!

      

So, who says 40 is old? Yah right!!! 40 is the NEW 25! That's what I'm saying :)

You Are Made of Yes!

As moms, we tend to worry more about our family and forget ourselves. Don't forget you're a mom and you're important too!

Let's party!  

Three for Me

Yes, I'm still here.....I haven't totally fallen off the planet...I've just been in Orlando with the family on a much needed vacation. Although I haven't been able to post "posts", I have been able to keep up with the A to Z challenge and the NaPoWriMo Challenge, although it's been a bit difficult......try composing poems in the midst of roller coaster screams, slurping of Butter Beer and being totally and completely drenched on the River Adventure ride....hmpff...they said "you may get wet or possibly soaked"....possibly?!

Anyhow, we are nearing the end of our trip and I have a few things I wanted to get out before I end this week.

So, the Three for Me this week are:

1. High School "acceptance" letter? - My oldest daughter has worked very hard over the years and as she entered 8th grade, she applied to the County magnet school. This school is considered to be a top notch high school and many kids apply....in fact, out of the 1550 applicants, only 280 will be granted entry. Of course, as luck would have it, and after a grueling application process, they decided to mail the "acceptance" letters out this week. Hello.....we are on Spring break. UGH! Luckily, my wonderful friend checked the mail for me on a daily basis and when it finally arrived, she expressed mailed it to us in Florida.

What did it say? Well, my daughter didn't want to open it until we were all together as a family, which meant we had the letter in hand for over half an hour before opening it. We trekked back into Universal Studio, located the rest of the clan and......

And she cried tears of joy....

YES! She got in. We are so happy for her and so very proud. Job well done geeky nerd....way to go!

2. Lost & Found - Ok, so you might be thinking what could possibly top an acceptance letter to an amazing high school, well.....if you read my poem from the other day, you will know that I experienced what all parents fear....losing their child in the crowd. So, the second thing I'm loving this week is finding Squid and having all three of my children. I came with three....thank God I'm leaving with three....I love you guys and next time, we are all wearing matching neon tops!

3. Harry Potter Land - I'm loving the fact that we are on vacation someplace warm and to top it off, we got to visit Harry Potter Land (twice). I love Harry Potter.....we got dizzy on the rides, purchased our wands from Ollivander's Wand Shop, bought a whole bunch of stuff in Hogsmeade and we had our fill of delicious Butter Beer. Here's to you Harry.

What Hogwarts house are you?

What are you loving this week?
