Ultimate Blog Party 2011

March 31, 2011 by Mariana

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or Email Updates. Thanks for visiting!

I’m participating in the Ultimate Blog Party!

Welcome, party-goers! I know you have lots of blogs left to visit, so I’ll make this short.

I’m Mariana, and I’m a stay-at-home mom to two girls, 6 and 3 years old. I’ve been married for 10 years and live in the suburbs of Washington, DC, though I’m originally from Texas. This is my 3rd year participating in the Ultimate Blog Party, hosted by Janice and Susan of 5 Minutes for Mom.

In case you’ve never visited, let me tell you a little bit about what you’ll find here!

  • Photos of my kids in almost every one of my posts… they’re the loves of my life.
  • Recipes… I like to cook (usually).
  • Personal anecdotes… sometimes funny, usually not. Or am I?
  • Lots of product reviews… I love sharing my favorite finds.
  • And I’m working on incorporating a little bit more of my Latina culture into my blog. I grew up in Texas and Mexico, and my native language is actually Spanish. Little known fact.

I know you have to go, but please follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and subscribe to my feed! 🙂

If you don’t have a blog, you can still participate in the Ultimate Blog Party! You can post a link to your Facebook profile and/or Twitter link if you have one on one of the many linkies at 5M4M. There are tons of prizes to be won. Remember to follow @5minutesformom and watch hashtag #UBP11!

    Nice to meet you! I like the name of your blog! I have 2 kiddos, I’m a homeschooling mom, a pastors wife that wears a bikini to work because I’m a pro beach volleyball player that hates to workout LOL.. I also write a fitness blog, but I LOVE fried fatty foods. You can read more about us in my party post

    Wow. I grew up in TX and also live in the suburbs of DC – not really the suburbs, about an hour west but my dh works in DC so I consider us suburbanites of DC. I’m talking too much aren’t I?

    Anyhoo, nice to meet you! Your kids are adorable and I’ve enjoyed your blog!
