Welcome fellow bloggers to the Ultimate Blog Party 2009! If you didn't find me via the party, then you should really go check it out! There are lots of networking opportunities and fun prizes to be won! We're supposed to say something about which prizes we'd like to win... but honestly, they're all so awesome I just can't decide! Truly, I'd be thrilled to win anything!
My name's Amy! Me and Hubs are proud parents of twin toddlers, Ziva & Anya.
So if you were coming to a REAL party at my house today, I'd have all these marvelous intentions of baking fantastic homemade delectable treats.... and then Hubs would answer the door, you'd notice the dust bunnies blowing across my floor and my kitchen sink full of dishes, and I'd be in the other room changing a poopy diaper. Sorry, but that's the reality folks!
Blogging and a couple local mom's groups are really what keep me sane and in touch with the outside world. I've only been blogging since January, but I've really jumped right in and so far I haven't missed a single day of writing something new about my life. There's ALWAYS new stuff to talk about with two growing toddlers in the house!
Plus I've taken on a culinary challenge for myself called Mystery Spice Monday! As part of the challenge I pick out something from my spice cabinet and aim to make a great meal for my family. It's kind of like those Food Network Challenges, except without the judges and the last second catastrophes while moving a five foot tall sugar sculpture to the judging table. Over on the right hand side you'll find a link to my alphabetical list of recipes, feel free to take a look and find something new and exciting to make for dinner next week. :)
Interested in how our life with twins came to be? Here's our Birth Story! Just don't look too closely at that pregnancy pic...
I also write about my wide variety of interests: Freezer Cooking, Gardening, Twins Topics, and of course, my dear Hubs. And every once in a while, I show my nerdy side.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hopefully my messy house and screaming children didn't scare you off too much!
I LOVE comments, and I always respond in kind. Be sure to notice my very first Giveaway!

Well normally she only gets up once through the night (cuz I don't consider 5 am to be in the night). So really I am not too sleep deprived, but I just wasn't sure if I should already be trying to get her on a schedule...or rather a routine. I want to do dinner, bath books and then bed, but reality is that sometimes she is ready for bed at 6:30 and its a struggle to keep her up, and other nights (the nights I look forward to some me time!) she is up til 9. So its hard to have a routine when your not sure when to start it. But with your comment and some others, I think I will start it a little later (3 or 4 months) instead of trying to get it all together right now.
And I love your party post! I am glad to know that I am not the only person with dirty dishes in the sink! :)
Have a great day!
WOOOOOO HOOOO I always love being the first to arrive at a party... haha... Well, at least my girls will have babies to play with... :)
I'll definitely be back..
Honestly and truly yours was next on my list to click! Your name alone was enough to hook me in, seeing as I have an Amy myself! Such little cuties you have in Ziva and Anya! I love having two little girlies! And I post recipes too! So, yes, it would be wonderful to be bloggy buddies! We have so much going for us already having barely even met!
Stopping by from the UBP to say hello. Hope you have a great weekend!
Well I feel a little bit awkward that I didn't come here for the big bloggy party. And that I was just stopping in as a Welcomista to give you a big welcome to the SITSahood! Does that still count?
I have to tell you that I adore the title of your blog! And the names of your cuteies! I have a single 2 year old son if you are interested. heehee
Welcome to the community and hope to see you around!
