First let me start by saying how happy I am to be guest posting on Miss Mommy’s blog today!! I am so excited! It’s my first guest post and I am honored that Nicole asked me to be here today and to share with you a little bit about myself! PLUS….We will be hosting an amazing Giveaway!! She in return is also guest posting on my blog ~ Organized Chaos. I am truly honored and I can’t tell you all how excited I am to be here and to be a part of her blog today! I have only been blogging since March of this year, but I have already made some awesome bloggy friends along the way…Nicole being one of the best! She may be halfway around the world from me, but I can always count on her to read my posts and leave me comments. We all love getting comments on our blog!

My journey as a mother has had its ups and downs just like all of you other moms out there. It’s been Mostly ups, but there was a time in my mother hood journey that brought me way down. After having my first baby, Ethan Evan, in 2002, my husband and I knew that we wanted another child. So when I got pregnant again in 2003….we were ecstatic and couldn’t wait to meet this new baby, boy! But our new baby boy was extremely sick when he was born in May of 2004, and in the NICU at our local hospital. 3 ½ days later Riley Oran went to Heaven. We hold onto the promise that we will see him again one day. You can read a little more about Riley (HERE andHERE). Then in 2005 we were blessed again with a third son, Connor Owen. It has been one rough and rowdy ride, and even though being the only girl in the house can be challenging at times, I wouldn’t trade my two boys for anything ~in the world…or my husband either! lol

Here are some pics of my little family~!

Blogging has become a passion for me. ..a creative outlet where I can share anything from stories to crafts and recipes. Those are some of my favorite things to post about. I love doing tutorials to share with other bloggers because those are some of my favorite posts to read. Pictures really do it for me and make a post interesting! So you will see lots of pictures on my blog!

Now let’s get to the best part of this post! The Giveaway!!

I have always enjoyed making jewelry and wearing jewelry. Well, I have been inspired by all of the wonderful tutorials and pictures that help make those tutorials absolutely amazing! I hope one day I might be able to start my own etsy shop with all of my ideas inspired by other moms, crafters and friends. So for now, I would like to giveaway one of my own handmade creations…a Fabric Flower Necklace – AND – a double bird ring from a little boutique in my town. I can be seen wearing my own birdie ring in a different color in some of my What I Wore Wednesday posts. I hope you all are as excited as I am about this giveaway!! One lucky reader will win both items!!
