The Ultimate Blog Party begins today, hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom. What is a blog party, you ask? It's a great opportunity to meet other bloggers and win prizes! I am a prize host, #10 on the American-only list. I'm giving away Norton Antivirus 2007, so if you're feeling less than secure head over to the prize page and choose it. Check here to find out how to improve your chances of getting the prize you want.
Welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere. I'm a SAHM of eight kids, with a love for blogging, creating things on my computer, hanging out with the best church family ever, and watching whatever my kids are doing at the time. Soccer moms get their own title, but we're not into soccer, so I guess I'm a baseball/basketball/chorus sort of mom.
I just got this great idea from the Preacher's Wife: to encourage de-lurking, I'll offer a prize from a random drawing from comments left this week. I would tell you what the prize is, but that would imply that I'd had time to put some heavy thought into it, which unfortunately isn't the case... I promise, "whatever it is, it's a nice one!"
UPDATE: I HAVE A PRIZE!
Last weekend I bought the New York City Ballet Complete Workout, which enables me to be beaten up one side and down the other--all in the privacy of my own home!--by the world-renowned NYC Ballet. In the midst of yesterday's

8 Kids!! You're my hero! Nice to meet you :-)
Wow....I'm from a family of 8 kids...6 boys and 2 girls. Kudos to you - I don't know how you do it. We were so far apart in age that it made it muuuuuch easier for my mom. Nice to meet you! I'll be back to read more -- I like your style.
I always love stopping by here. Loved reading more about you. Blessings.
So nice to meet you; thank you for the warm welcome.
8 children? Have you met another blogging mom, Barbara Curtis from Mommy Life? Mary (Mom to many) at http://owlhaven.wordpress.com/?
I mention these two fabulous ladies, moms and bloggers just in case you haven't run across them. I think Barbara has 12 children and Mary (has many) and is involved in Ethiopian adoptions. Just an FYI.
Have a fun party week...stop by when you get the chance.

8 children... what a blessing! Your home must be full of love and joy. :)
Great party, nice to "meet" you. :)
Oh yeah, I meant to say your blog is so eye-catching! I love the design.
I'm party hopping via the blog party!
Now isn't that a clever little way to get people to "delurk"... a drawing! Now why didn't I think of that!?! ;-)
I enjoy stopping by your place even when there isn't an official party! :-)
I LOVE your new design!

Visiting for the party. So nice to meet you! I love your blog design!
With eight kids, I can't imagine why you haven't found time to put your prize together, Dawn. LOL
It blows me away that you have eight kids and still find time to blog and do it so well at that. I have one grandchild a few days a week and one shih tzu and I'm challenged.
You're an inspiration!
PS...I love your new look. So fresh looking and spring-like, too.
Swinging in for the Ultimate Blog Party!!! Nice meeting ya. I like your blog design.
Happy party week!

Your layout is so cute! My first thought was 8 kids! Where do you find the time! Kudos to you!
I love your blog!! We have four boys...and LOVE it!! I would have had more and more, but it was time for us to stop. I've enjoyed my visit and hope you'll stop by my party as well. Isn't it great to be able to share your love for Jesus with other bloggers??? It's my favorite thing about blogging.
Blessings to you all.
:-) Susan
Loved your blog. Happy partying!
Hi nice to meet you
Yes, yes, I'm late again, but stopping in. I bookmarked your party post earlier on bloglines, but life got in the way this weekend..
I love your new blog look (I missed the update with bloglines and all...)
Have a great party - and stop by mine if you get a chance!
Hello,
Lovely cheerful design.
Many Blessings to your "Church at home"..
Oh, I love love LOVE your new site design! WOW
8 kids, wow, I am tired with two grown boys and one 16 year old girl! Beautiful blog you have here.
I have heard of that workout before but never tried it. I use to be a dancer before I had kids! Maybe I should look for it? Love your template. Have a great week. Party on!
Just reading that you have 8 kids gave me a workout.
Just dropping by on the party circuit. I only have two children and they are enough for me. But I admire moms who have more. Many blessings.
Just popping by for the party! I'd love to be able to increase to eight. Maybe some of the older ones will like the "festive" video of exploding bubbles at my party post! It's at womanwithmanyhats.com, not at my Blogger one.
Just stopping by for the party. I myself am the oldest of 10. I will have to stop by again after the party!
EIGHT!?!?!?! HOW ON EARTH can you parent EIGHT children and still find time to make it to your computer!??!?! I am in SHOCK!
You are a STRONGER - WAY STRONGER - woman than I am! Good grief - I can barely get - no change that - I don't get everything done and I only have one!!!
You blog is so pretty - just love it! so glad you partied !:)
Hello! so nice to meet you =) Your blog is so fun looking! I'm sure I'll be back again soon =)
