Welcome! Ultimate Blog Party - 2011

Ultimate Blog Party 2011

Welcome to the Ultimate Blog Party 2011 that started today!  This is my first time participating and I'm excited to be a part of this blog party!
 The Ultimate Blog Party is hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom and hundreds of blogs will be joining in to meet new blogging buddies and have a chance to win great prizes!  So click HERE to join in on the fun!

Let me tell you a little bit about myself and my blog before you go!

 This is me!
I am a devout Catholic, homeschooling, mother with a loving and supportive husband and 4 beautiful "cupcakes." My children are my pride and joy and they are the inspiration for this sweet blog I have created to document my passions in life, my creativity, and my family's memories.

Here is me with hubby and my 4 "cupcakes"

I began blogging in June 2010 as a way to document all the birthday cakes that I have made for my cupcakes over the last 10 years.  But, I blog about lots of other topics, like my faith, family life, and topics that I am passionate about.  So there's a little bit of everything on my blog. 

If you like what you see here, you can leave a comment (I love comments and replying back to them!) on my posts and follow me on Google Friend Connnect (GFC). I'll be sure to stop by your corner of the world and follow.  My blog also has a Facebook page that you can "Like" on my right side bar to be able to get up-to date blog posts that I write.  If you have a Facebook blog page let me know!

                             
I am excited to be a co-host with Lynda and Anna-Marie of No Ordinary Blog Hop (NOBH).  Each month you can link up as many of your posts as you like to NOBH and have fun meeting new friends in a relaxed and fun no ordinary blog hop!  So check out NOBH and we hope to see your posts!  Oh yeah, and don't forget to grab one or all of our cute buttons for April and put them on your posts and blog homepage so others can find NOBH too!  Displayed are a few buttons you can choose from:

 
Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the party!

Stopping by from the UBP. So nice to meet you.

I homeschooled my son and never regretted it. I imagine homeschooling four can be quite challenging at times!

Cheers,

Hello! Thank you for your Visit!

Hello!  Thank you for your Visit!
I'm Tracy. I love my faith, family and on most days, homeschooling my 5 blessings. When I'm not busy baking cakes for my family or making memories in real life or dreaming I had a housekeeper or professional chef, I enjoy documenting a slice of Smith life in blog land.
