Janice and Susan at 5 Minutes for Mom are hosting another Ultimate Blog Party! I really enjoyed last year’s bash and was excited to see a repeat. Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me; please leave a comment and let me know you were here. I will offer a prize (TBA)* drawn from comments at the end of the week.
If you’re a first time visitor to My Home Sweet Home, here’s a general rundown about me and my site:
- I’m wife to one amazing man and mom to eight of the cutest, funniest, most delightful kids ever (in my unbiased opinion).
- I have a web design business called Barefoot Blog Designs.
- I’m an author at the Homeschool Blog Awards site and the Blogstyle host at the new BloggedIn – News & Networking site.
- I have serious addictions to gummy bears, sweet tea, Photoshop, Mexican food, chocolate, 24, and Smallville.
- I’m 100% Southern (born in Arkansas, livin’ in Georgia).
- My favorite blog category is kid funnies.
- I love photography and Wordless Wednesdays.
- I’ve MIRLed (met in real life) Brenda at Rocks Cry Out and am excited to meet other bloggers at the She Speaks conference in June.
- We have recently sponsored a little girl through Compassion International. I encourage you to visit their site and see if you feel lead to do the same.
- One of my favorite posts is “The Greatest Job in the World” about an ordinary but extraordinary day in the life of a mom.
- I’ve posted my grandmother’s pie crust recipe, which you mix right in the pan. Go copy it – you’ll be sorry if you don’t!
Nice to meet you, thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the party!
*Okay, so here’s the prize:
Three bars of bushberr Bergamot/Mint all natural soap. It smells like you’re being pampered at an Aveda salon!
Whoa, you have eight kids, homeschool them, run your own business, AND you blog? What are you, SuperMom? 😉 (I came here through Blog Party, by the way! Glad to meet you!)

Great blog. Eight kids! Wow, you are a brave woman…:) Sounds like your life is full of joy, I enjoyed reading about it.
Thanks for the pie crust recipe!
“We have recently sponsored a little girl through Compassion International. I encourage you to visit their site and see if you feel lead to do the same.”
God bless you and your sponsored child!
So what’s the deal with the blog party anyway?

Hey Dawn,
So glad you were able to get a party post up, but my sympathies for the reason behind your delay :(.
How much do I love that party-goers are loving your design without realizing YOU WERE THE PERSON behind the layout? I suppose it gave you reason to smile.
Most of all, thank you for your kind words at my party post; I feel the same way, though. We only just “met”…and within a few months, we’ll REALLY get to meet (waahooo!!!).
In the meantime, I keep checkin’ in for new posts; you’re in my reader and I KNOW we’re already fastfriends. Maybe one day, soon, IRL, too :).
I’m inviting you to party with me!
Win some chocolate from my-sister-in-law and I…we blog about CHOCOLATE…me from Australia…and her from Michigan. Here’s the link: http://thechocolistas.blogspot.com/2008/03/ultimate-blog-party-2008.html
What am I doing in Australia? I married an Aussie…and moved to Brisbane, leaving my family and friends and all the right-side-of-the-road drivers in America.
