The Ultimate Blog Party 2008

We interupt our regularly scheduled blogging to announce the Ultimate Blog Party! Yep, it’s that time once again. Time to party! It is the Ultimate BLog Party hosted by 5 Minutes For Mom. Last year’s Ultimate Blog Party was such a fabulous event – it was the place to be with almost 1000 bloggers participating! Just like last year, the party will go for a week, (March 7th to March 14th,) and be packed with prizes.

Get your blog noticed and join in on the fun! Don’t sit in a corner and only chat with people you know! Search the Linky and look for names you don’t recognize and head on over to their place to meet some new people.

The party has begun!

I guess I should introduce myself to those who wander in here! I am a Christian, wife to a minister who is my knight in shining armor. I am a Classical Christian homeschooler. My hubby and I have eight, yes 8, wonderful children so far.

I blog here daily about whatever comes to mind. I also blog over at Weekend Kindness, The Well Drained Mind, and The Heart of the Matter. Additionally, I write monthly for a homeschool newsletter and hang out at The Homeschool Lounge. I run a Quiverfull blogroll to encourage others who are convicted of God’s sovereignty over the womb. I also occasionally have homeschooling giveaways. See the sticky note above for details on the current giveaway. Please do not ask how I find the time to do all of this; I am still wondering that myself!

Thanks for stopping by and take some time to look around my blog before you rush back to the party! I love comments and chatting with others. Sign up in a reader and come back soon!! I would love to hear from you on a regular basis!

    Have a lovely Blog Party. Hope you can maybe drop in and say “Hi”.

    I am from N Ireland and giving away a digi-scrap gift voucher, and also have a St Patricks Day giveaway coming soon too.

    I HAD to come to your blog when I saw you in the Blog Party post, as Archer was my grandmothers maiden name, and a number of her siblings emmigrated to US at the beginning of the 20th century. My grandmother also tried to emmigrate, but the Lord had other plans and she was deported from Ellis Island!

  11. Amy D Says:

    Happy blog party! I enjoy your writing at Heart of the Matter. I’ll have to come back and check out your other links, too!

  12. PreSchool Mama Says:

  19. Toby Parsons Says:

    I’m popping in for the blog party! You are a busy gal! God Bless you in ‘all’ of your efforts!!! :)

  20. Toby Parsons Says:

    Hello ‘again.’ I ‘just’ saw that you had ‘also’ left a comment on my post about the Above Rubies Retreat! :) So many of the young mom’s have never even heard of Nancy Campbell or Above Rubies. I LOVE Nancy Campbell. This is the 3rd time we’ve been to her retreat. I am only able to attend Saturday though. Our youngest daughter is scheduled to go stay with her for a few months to work on ‘Above Rubies’ magazine. She is ‘so’ excited. This retreat, my oldest daughter is also going to join us. This is an answer to prayer!!! My web-site is offering a gift for the prizes being awarded for the blog party. The reason I am mentioning it here, is that I am thinking you are probably familiar with the book, “Created to be His Help Meet” by Debi Pearl. Along with that book, I am also giving away the child’s book, “The Tale of Two Builders” by Melody Carlson. This one was my granddaughter’s favorite when she was a bit younger. Anyway, I am praying that Debi Pearl’s ‘controversial’ (I love it!!!) book :) will be a HUGE blessing to whomever wins it!!! :)

    Again, it was wonderful meeting you! :)

    Many blessings! Toby

  21. Rebecca Says:
