I’m thrilled to be participating in 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party for the first time!
I’m Mariana. I’m a 28-year old mom to two beautiful little girls. You’re sure to see photos of them in almost every one of my posts.
If I could compare my life – motherhood, marriage, and everything it entails – to anything, it would be to riding a bike with no hands. Teetering along, having little control over what happens…
But that’s the beauty of it! Life is never boring. I originally started blogging as an outlet to vent my frustrations, connect with others like me, and keep a record of my girls’ milestones, but this has turned in to SO much more! I’ve met some amazing people, developed lifelong friendships, and have had wonderful opportunities come my way.
I’m coming up on my one-year blogoversary, which I’m so excited about. My husband never thought that this hobby would last more than a few months, so that shows him! Hopefully you’ve enjoyed it here and will stop by again. I’m on a mission to get Hot by BlogHer and would love some support!
Have you seen how many people are getting their party on this year?! I’ve looked at the list, and some are old friends that I hope to get to know better, and others are strangers that I can’t wait to visit.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
AJ @ A Little Bit Nutty says

Isn’t it fun when we prove our hubby’s wrong (1 year of blogging)… I mean I don’t gloat or anything. But it makes me happy on the inside!

Hi there,
Sorry I missed everyone on these days for UBP. I have been down with bronchitis but I figured better late than never.
