Here for the Party


A big hello to all of you Ultimate Blog Party Peeps. :D I am Erica and I actually assist Susan and Janice over at 5 Minutes for Mom. :D


Here we are at Blogher '09 with the lovely Brooke White.


I am so glad that you are visiting. I have been so very busy working for the girls over the past couple of years, that I have sort of neglected my own little corner of the web. But, I did recently get a new site design and a new URL...and I truly do love it. Now if I could only find some time to get some more content on here...life would be grand.

I hope that you will visit again throughout the coming weeks and months. I promise I will do my best to keep things fresh and fun around here. You could even follow me on Twitter if you'd like. :D


When I am not busy working behind the scenes at 5 Minutes for Mom, I can be found playing Ring Around the Rosie, coloring and running all around the house with my three kiddos. Audrey is 6, Isaiah will be 4 in July and Christian just turned 2 a few weeks ago. You can see their lovely faces on my sidebar.

I also lead my daughter's Girl Scout troop, which has been tons of fun.

Oh I also have another site, 5076 Miles Apart, with my friend, Sara, where every day we share a snapshot of our lives, as we live 5,076 miles apart.

I love to sing, read Nicholas Sparks books, watch Chuck (did you see Monday's episode?!?!?! THE BEST EVER), quilt, do Beth Moore Bible studies, eat chocolate and drink sweet tea. In fact if you were over at my house right now, I would share some Dove chocolate peanut butter eggs and sweet tea with you. I would simply ask you to ignore the crayon all over my walls. My kids are artists who don't like to obey their momma. :D

I started a 100 Things About Me - UBP10 edition. Here is Part 1Part 2 and Part 3.

Okay so a good party needs music right? So here is one of my current favorite songs that gets me dancing. I love to blast it throughout the house and you should see my kiddos dance to it..it's the best.






Also, while I have you, I would like to take a moment to share with you a bit about the organization that I am the most passionate about, Invisible Children. Their goal is to bring home the thousands upon thousands of child soldiers in Northern Uganda and capture Joseph Kony, the leader of the LRA.

I saw the film, Invisible Children, back in 2006 and it changed my heart in so many ways. It is my goal to make it out to Northern Uganda some day to help the former child soldiers.

So, what about you? What are your interests? What are you passionate about? And where is your little corner on the web? I'd love to visit.


I hope you all have a blessed week. Thank you so much for stopping by. :D

Thank you for all the hard work you all have done with this site! I know it's not easy with kiddos around- but we figure it out. I greatly enjoy blogging and learning about people- some to help me see things different and some to help me realize I see things just fine :)- I have enjoyed the UBP10 a lot! Your passions sound admirable for certain. Oh, I'll certainly follow on twitter- I keep things organized a tad better that way :)

Hi Erica! This is my first blog party and I'm so glad to have found your site!

I absolutely love sweet tea too, which I sorely missed when I lived in AZ. Oh, and you reminded me that I need to buy that Train song on iTunes!

Happy UBP! You seem like a very busy lady! Two blogs, assisting 5 Minutes, 3 Kids, and a fellow Chuck addict!

Thank you for sharing your passion about the Invisible Children. It is a heartbreaking situation and you are right to remind us that it is still a current plight.

I'm so glad that I found you and I will be back -- I'm your newest follower.

Yay... I have finally arrived here after traveling through 100's of blogs. I kinda sorta started from the bottom up. =) My feet hurt so I'm glad I can relax and listen to your wonderful music. ;)

The children are so adorable.

You have a lovely blog and I love the design! So pretty :). Stopping by from the UBP.

I'm a mama to two little girls and you can find my little corner at http://www.childmode.com . Please stop by and say hello!:)

Cheri said...

Just popping by a little late for the UBP.
I came back to check out 5 Minutes for Mom and thought I would check out who was in position 1. :-)
I really like the 5076 Miles Apart Blog. If I ever move that far away from friends...I'd probably like to do the same thing. Hubby has suggested about moving to Romania (where we are headed for a missions trip this summer)...but right now, I know I'd miss family too much.

Mommy Moment said...

Your party sure ROCKED THE HOUSE! Thanks for coming by my party too (i think it was about half the size as yours)
I want you to know I appreciate all your hard work!
Hey, while I'm here, I still have not got an e-mail bac about the 2 prizes I won, one on the first live UBP10 and 1 on the Chris Mann show.
Let me know if there is something else I have to do!

Blessings to you! and thanks for the wonderful party!
