Happy April Fool's Day!
If you are visiting from the Ultimate Blog Party, welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
This is my 3rd year participating. This is a fun way to connect with other women, discover some great blogs, and to win some fun prizes!
New to the fun? You can find out more about the party here.
Let me tell you a little about myself...
(I know it's not New Year's, but this was the only photo of me with a party hat that I could find)
-I am a Work at Home Mom of two wonderful children. I have a son who is 11 and a 3 month old daughter.
-I co-own an eBay store with my hubby called Donny Dixon's Attic. We sell new and gently used name brand clothing, shoes, accessories, and other unique items.
-I am a book junkie. Although I haven't had as much time to read recently because my days have been filled with all things baby and 7th grade homework.
-I started blogging to feed my book habit. I love to blog about great reads, my family, and the things that I love. I've recently branched out to review fun family-friendly products like this:
Drop by 5 Minutes for Mom's prize page and you can enter to win a $25 gift certificate to spruce up your spring wardrobe! The prize page entry form is here. And be sure to follow @ddixonsattic to find out who the winner is.
You can also find me on Twitter and Facebook.
Leave me a comment with your blog link so I can drop by. And enjoy the party!

ReplyDeleteFellow book lover here, just dropping in from the UBP to say Hello!
ReplyDeleteWe have so many books that I've had to find creative ways to decorate with them, around them, and in spite of them. Since Husband will not part with them. :)
Good to meet you and happy partying!
I started blogging so I could tell people about the books I love, but the last year has seen my blog take a totally different direction and I totally miss my reading. I'm terrible at managing my time.
ReplyDeleteIs that a NEW Rebecca St. James CD? I haven't seen anything new from her in ages.
Thanks so much for dropping by Woven by Words earlier!

Shelly,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to visit during the party. Even though it is over, that doesn't mean the socializing has to stop.
That is quite the range w/the ages of your children. I'm sure so much changed between the 10+ year span of having your children. Enjoy every minute of them both. We are also book readers over here.
