It's Party Time.....

I love joining the ladies at 5 Minutes for Moms for their annual Ultimate Blog Party. 
It's a great way to meet other bloggers, follow and read new blogs, reconnect with bloggers that you haven't seen for awhile and a chance to win some super cool prizes.
 
If you are stopping by for the first time, let me share a bit about myself....
 
I'm Charlene
 
 
wife and mother of 6...yep, that says 6 (and they are all mine and my husband's). 
 
 
My husband and I have been married for 20 years.
 
 
I love to cook and bake and sew and play with my kids and just have fun.  You can find some of our family's favorite recipes here, along with some fun kid friendly recipes too.
 
If you love wearing aprons, I have some fun, cute ones in my etsy store, Sew Charlene
 
I am a student...majoring in elementary education (with an emphasis on prek - 4th grade).  I love doing arts and crafts with my kids...you can find some super fun crafty ideas here and here
 
I also have a weekly (or somewhat weekly, lately) kid's link party, where bloggers can share all the fun stuff and projects they do with their kids.
 
And, I like to try my hand at diy projects and crafts as well, you can check out some of my stuff here.
 
I recently lost 34 pounds....you can read all about my weight loss journey here.
 
Check out this awesome before and after (although, I'm still working on losing more) pic...
I actually have a pretty cool giveaway going on right now sponsored by Nutrisystem, if you're looking to lose some weight, come and enter for a chance to win.
 
 
 
I am somewhat obsessed with the tv shows...The Walking Dead, Project Runway, Fashion Star and The Following.  I often start discussions of these shows on my facebook page.  If you would like to join us or just like to check out my blog's facebook page, you can do so here.  I really enjoy hanging out with my readers and this is a great way to do it.
 
If you'd like to read more about me you can do so here
 
We'll that's enough about me...Can't wait to hear more about you.

Having read this I believed it was very enlightening.
I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this information together.

I once again find myself spending way too much time
both reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still
worthwhile!
