Hello and welcome to my little portion of the 5 Minutes for Mom - Ultimate Blog Party. From the looks of it, this is ONE BIG PARTY, with over 750 bloggers already signed up on the Mr. Linky over there. Feel free to join the fun here and then invite some folks over to your place for a party. You can get the details here.
For those of you visiting for the first time. Feel free to grab a soda and stay a while. We'll put out the snacks, probably some of this and this because both are great party dips. Don't mind the dog, she's just super friendly. And the kids? Well, a couple of them are a little shy, so they'll be in and out. But the others - they'll talk your ear off! Are you up for some games on the Nintendo Wii? My 5 year old is pretty good! If you're interested in who I am, check out My 100.
If you have to rush off to other parties (and I completely understand if you do - there are SO MANY to visit!), let me just introduce myself to you before you go. I am:
- married to my college sweetheart, Pastormac going on 18 years.
- a stay-at-home, home-schooling mom to five homemade kids, ages 14, 12, 9, 7 and 5.
- in the process of adopting two children from Ethiopia.
- a novice blogger and have only been a blogging since last June.
- a born-again Christian, have been since I was 13.
Well, I better let you go. Thanks for dropping by. Come back again soon. I hope to hear news on our adoption front any day now. Should be exciting.

WOw! You've got your hands full! I love the design of your blog, it's beautiful.
Stop on by my side of the party if you get a chance... nice to meet you.
I LOVE the fact that you are still happily married to your college sweetheart.
Looking forward to hearing more about the adoption. Those kids are going to be so blessed to be joining your family!
Love and light,

Hi Ann. Congratulations on your adoptions~what a blessing.
I'm Beckie and I think we've met before on one of the photo thingies.
Come see my regular blog if you have time at A Child of God
Love your blog, Ann! You sound like a wonderful person. I've been blessed by the SAHM's and adopting moms I've seen in this party. I think it's awesome that you're opening your heart and home to Ethiopian children. God bless, and come visit my blog when you get a moment!
You're a wonderful hostess, Ann. And I'll come whether you're throwing a party or not, 'cause you make me feel so loved!
What a cool blog design! Here for the party. I hope you don't mind if I return. Thanks!
Glad you joined the party!!
Come on over & check out my fun Bump! Photo Tag going on! Hope you’d like to play along and post your favorite pregnant belly pic! (And we’d love to see expectant adoptive parent photos, too!)

In from the party! Good luck on your adoptions - that's so awesome! Have a great day!
Aw! I love hearing a little bit more about you! It's funny how some kids can be SO shy and some kids can be SO outgoing in the same household, isn't it?
I have some questions about homeschooling - I might email you with them later, if that's okay!
This has turned out to be some party! I can't believe how many participants there are! I hope you hear something on the adoption front soon!
Thanks for the comment about where you found Goop - I'm going to look for it next time I'm there!

You have one of the best blog designs I've seen! I found you via BluBird Blog Design and I happened to see you are a party member too. How cool!
So what was your experience with BlueBird Design like? I'm looking for someone to give my blogs a new look.
Enjoy the party!
