The Ultimate Blog Par-tay & Book Giveaway
I’m taking a little time out from the normal blog routine to par-tay with the mommas as 5 Minutes for Mom and you’re all invited!
If you’re here for the first time, WELCOME! Here’s a little bit…
About me:
I’m a 39 year-old (once and soon to be again homeschooling) mom to four high-spirited and creative kids…
Chris, 13; Joey, 10; Timmy, 7; and Grace, 5
I’ve been writing ever since I can remember, but started blogging officially a year ago after I quit writing!
About that time I started looking for a community of like minded/career minded others, and found wonderful fellow ship in 5 Minutes for Mom and CWO, yet neither of the two communities met my unique needs as a writing mom. Moms whose writing careers are interrupted. So I started my own webring which grew into a blog/writing ezine and now a community. So if you have any inkling to write or consider yourself a writer, you’re welcome to visit. Each place is unique but both are full of encouragement and practical writing advice and how tos!
About my blog:
Portrait of a Writer…Interrupted chronicles my parenting, homeschooling, writing and faith journey. Sometimes it’s fun, often times it’s real, but most of all it’s honest. I host lots of give-a-ways, mostly books. If you want to enter my contest for the Ultimate blog party (I’m giving away…what else…books) or any other contest please read my contest guidelines. I promise they’re easy and pain free!
To qualify for this giveaway you need to leave a comment and then hop over to 5 Minutes for Mom and let them know my contest is one of your top choices #143! I’ve listed the books I’m giving away at the end of this post. There’s a possibility I could add to this list!
I’ve also created my sidebar easy to navigate so my readers (and myself) can find what they’re looking for! So check it out! I’ve spend a lot of time updating links and adding great blogs, though it’s always a work in progress!
So there you have it! Anything else you need to know is probably already in my archives! Except for my favorite, quick and easy party munchies! Enjoy!
Party Dip good enough to eat WITHOUT a chip!
1 8oz. bar of Cream Cheese. You can even use FAT FREE and this will taste great!
Cooked breakfast or Italian sausage, depending on your taste.
One jar of salsa or can of Rotel.
Mix cooked sausage with cream cheese and salsa in a crock pot or microwave until warm. Grab a chip and dip!
EASY Cake Cookie Recipe
1 box of cake mix, any kind!
2 eggs
1/3 cup of oil
Add whatever goodies you want to the mix.
For a chocolate cake I usually add coconut, white chocolate chips, or caramel chips.
For white or yellow cake I add chocolate chips, nuts, marshmallows, etc.
Preheat the oven and bake at 375 degrees until done! But be careful they don’t burn!
Ice Creamed Coffee Drink
Okay, I don’t have the exact recipe, but it goes something like this.
Milk or half and half
Chocolate chunk Coffee Ice Cream
Combine and drink! But don’t count the calories!
