Hey mom friends out there and 1st time visitors from 5 Minutes For Mom. Nice to have you all here!
Also on twitter at @5minutesformom #UBP11 Join in the fun!
I am Melissa, this is my 1st year participating in The Ultimate Blog Party with 5 Minutes for Mom and I am excited to share my blog with others.
Let me invite you in......
I started my blog originally to have a journal of sorts when my dad was having major heart surgery. Then did not blog for a LONG time. This blog has morphed into a homeschooling blog with a mix of party planning and crafting. I guess you could say all three are my equal passions!
I am a mother of 4 with children's ages ranging from 22 yrs old all the way to 22 months! Being a survivor of childhood cancer has made me have a zeal for life and we celebrate every chance we get! I am also a daughter of God and love to share my thoughts with others.
I have met so many awesome people in blogland and hope to someday meet some of my favorite blogging friends in real life!

I never knew the story behind the blog, other than the fact that you homeschooled. I'm glad I got to know you a bit better.
The age span of your children reminds me of my family: we've got ages from 30 down to 13. Makes for an interesting family.
Have a great week!
When you get a chance, please come on over and check out my blog and leave a comment. Thanks
