The Ultimate Blog Party!!!

Hey all!!  You KNOW I like a good party! 

Is there a better way to meet a TON of other mamas ALL in ONE place right now than The Ultimate Blog Party?  I am pretty sure…there is NOT! 


This “party” was started in 2007 and has GROWN to about 3,000 participating blogs!  

Wow!  

I TOLD you there isn’t a BETTER place to make new bloggy friends!!! 

Are you excited? I know I am!

It started FRIDAY (oops...i'm a little behind here!) so if you are a “Mommy blogger” link up and join the fun!!!!  You know you want to!

---

Now, for all of you joining in the fun I want to tell you a little bit about myself.

I am a wifey to a really NICE guy and a stay at home mama to 4 little people.  Our oldest little guy will be 3 in June.  We have 16 month old twin boys and our newest addition is a little lady who is 11 weeks old this week! 

Our life is crazy busy BUT also crazy FUN!!!!!!!  It seems like we are always having a party at our house (mostly I think because it’s always LOUD here) thus the name of my blog, The Houtz House Party!!!  

I love to share the daily nuttiness that goes on here with lots of photos and stories about our little family.  I also share favorite recipes, “fashiony” things as I learn them (that is like starting from square ONE for me let me just WARN you now!) and my ever evolving faith in Jesus journey. 

I am a social girl who is LOVING meeting TONS of AWESOME, AMAZING, FUN, KIND, SMART, HILARIOUS, SWEET (well you get the drift) ladies through this new blogging journey of mine.  

Stop by and say hi and let’s be friends!!!  I SOOOO can’t wait to meet you!

  6. Hi, Kelly. I found you via UBP and I'm a new follower on google and twitter. My daughter has 4 children too...3 girls and one boy. Her's are a little older than yours (2-8), but she can probably identify with the fun but hectic pace you keep. If you'd like to meet me, my UBP intro is here: http://biblelovenotes.blogspot.com/p/ultimate-blog-party.html
    God bless you, your family and your blogging. Gail

  9. Good heavens, I can't believe how full your hands must be. I have 16-month-old twins and often think how impossible it seems to me that some people have twins AND other children...you're an inspiration to me. Glad to have found you through UPB!

  22. Hi Lara! Stop back by if you can and give me your blog url because for some reason blogger is keeping it private but i'd love to see your blog!! Yep this age can be so frustrating because you know they can't communicate very clearly yet but it does get easier. I know that's what everyone says but it's true!

  33. Hi, so nice to meet you! It's been fun to see the percentage of people commenting on my post that have twins... lots! You must be busier than I though... my oldest is 5 and the second is 2 so they aren't quite so close together! ;)
    And my house kinda looks like yours most days... right now I'm purging maternity stuff, but we've had to shuffle to make room for the girls so there are piles everywhere. Can't wait for my parent's garage sale in June!

  34. Well you sure have a lot of comments for starting out so late! LOL

    We have 6 with #7 on the way..and I understand you on the noise. And I pretty much feel like we've always got a party going on...maybe it's because I love to celebrate stuff like holidays. We take a week for St patrick's day.

    Back to the party.

  35. I'm having a hard time reconciling the notion of 16 month old twins and an 11 week old. THE MADNESS! That said, I am the sort that secretly hopes baby#3 will really be babies#3&4. :D

    ReplyDelete
  36. Audrey! DEF tell me whether #3 turns out to be twins! How fun! And by #3 you are a seasoned pro!!! And hey you get 4 kiddos and are only pregnant 3 times! @BESTCASESCENARIOINMYOPINION
