Hi everybody. I am so glad to have you visiting. My name is Erica and you may know me as the trusty assistant over at 5 Minutes for Mom.
I sure do love those girls. I have been so blessed to have had the joy of working with them.
So, I have three little ones...you can see them over there on my sidebar, although those pictures are a little old. Audrey is 7, Isaiah is 4 (5 in July) and Christian is 3. So yes, my days are always fun.
We thought we'd do a little dancing for you, because how can you party without shaking your groove thing?
Also while you are here, please indulge in some Lindt Truffles. I also have Sweet Tea and Pepsi in my fridge. I have a bit of a sweet tooth.
A little about me...let's see....when I am not busy working away, I can be found doing lots of homework. I am a Senior at Ashford University online getting a BA in Public Relations/Marketing. I am ALMOST done. I can't wait to get my degree.
I also like to make quilts and try to learn how to play my guitar. I also lead my daughter's Girl Scout Troop. Can I tell you that I am so happy that we are DONE with cookie sales?!?!?!
I love books by Nicholas Sparks and Torey Hayden. I love Beth Moore Bible studies. Oh and I love to sing.
How about you? What things do you like to do when you find yourself with some free time?
Thanks again for visiting. I am so glad that you stopped by. Leave a comment so that I can come visit your humble abode. Have a blessed day!

Another Colorado Gal!!! :) I'll have to keep you posted of our next MNO! I want to try for a Castle Rock one so we can get more South gals there!
I love to take pictures, and quilt and read if I have anytime. I homeschool my 4 kids and that is really what keeps me busy!
Following you on twitter & your blog! Your kids are adorable! I went to school in Colorado...go Buffs!!
One of your new followers here :) I'd like to learn how to make a quilt one of these days. Your kids are adorable!

Congratulations on almost finishing your degree! That's quite an accomplishment. I love quilting too -- just finished one for my daughter's birthday. I have another one in the works, but the kids are clamoring for me to finish their scrapbooks, so I think I must shift focus to *that* woefully-behind project!
Hi, i'm stopping by from UBP2011! I'll be following you on twitter, so tweet away! :)
I sing, too. Found you on UBP11. I love this whole thing (it's my first link party, can you tell!) I'm a little tipsy ;)
I don't know how you have time to do all you are doing. You are truly inspirational!
Stopping from the Utimate Blog Party!
Stopping by to say hi for UBP11! I love the header for your blog. SO gorgeous! Nice to meet you!
Stopping by from UBP. Your little ones are adorable. Congrats on graduating soon I dont know how you are doing it with three kids. Im earning my degree in nutrition with two kids running around and its been nuts. Happy UBP 2011.

Since you have sweet tea, I think I'll stick around. I'm stopping by from the UBP. I'm a working mom to two and have a firefighter hubby. Stop by if you can.

I'm off to follow you on Twitter too.
Hi from UBP! I love this time of the year. =)
I made a Christmas quilted tablerunner for my mom this past year - my first "real" attempt at quilting. It came out okay.
I do like to sew (which I'm all right at), but the pinning....ugh, it drives me crazy. Plus I like the portability of crocheting, so I generally stick to that when my hands are in need of crafting. (Hubby laughs at me and calls these my "old-lady" hobbies....as he goes metal detecting, wh/ everyone considers an "old man" hobby. Haha!)
I'm also a HUGE bookworm. And a computer nerd. I'm homeschooling my 5-year-old this year, and playing with my 2-year-old. It's exhausting, but it can be tons of fun!
Happy to meet you, and following you on Twitter!

Stopping by from the UBP. So nice to meet you. I'm following you now on twitter (screamingsardine). Good luck finishing off that degree. I know it's tough doing so when you have kids.
Cheers,

Nice to meet you! I JUST finished at Ashford with my BA in psychology! What a blessed job to work with great ladies like Janice and Susan!

Lindt truffles and sweet tea and Pepsi? OH MY! Very glad I stopped by. All are on my favorites list.
We're still gnawing on GS cookies here. The gluten-eaters are at least. I have to stay away this year. :(
I'm a quilt maker too, but it's been a couple years since my last blanket. I've been nagging myself to get back at it...I really need a new cover.
Well...very nice meeting you. Good luck with the homework and school. That's tough stuff!
Stopping by for the party! Nice to meet you. Stop by if you get a chance TheMomMaven.com and TheMomMavenTravels.com
I love Nicholas Sparks books too! Can't get enough of them!
Found your blog from the UBP. Your kids are adorable - how great to be able work a little (maybe alot) but still be home with them! :) I look forward to reading more.
Sending a hello from the party! you have a beautiful family & it is great to get to meet you xxo

Hi Erica, I'm stopping by via UBP. I've traveled all the way from Dubai so a little jet lagged. Would you mind if I have some of those Lindt Truffles?
Thanks!
Grace @ Sandier Pastures
Lindt Truffles and sweet tea sounds good to me.
I just finished a Beth Moore study on `David`
I'm sure your familiar with it.
Beth Moore is great!
Unfortunately I don't have a twitter account so I can't follow you. I guess I won't win any prizes either.
Oh well, such is life.
Stoppin by from UBP11! It's great to meet you! I just found out about 5mins4mom (I've been under a rock), and it's great to meet the ladies behind the site.

Family is so important - so much so, we let my mother-in-law move in with us.
Check out our adventure!

Here from the UBP11! Nice to meet you. Your kids are adorable! I have 2 of my own - a 3-1/2 yr old son and 11 month old daughter. My son has Down syndrome and he's an absolute blessing. Our journey through parenthood has become a richer experience than we could've ever imagined.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi. http://billandria.blogspot.com/2011/04/ultimate-blog-party-with-5-minutes-for.html
It's nice to "meet" you, looking forward to getting to know you more!
I am following you on Twitter now!!
Visiting you from UBP11. Such a great program! I love reading new blogs like yours and look forward to following you! I'm at www.itbuildscharacter.com
Amen to the end of cookie sales. I was the Cookie Diva this year - doesn't that sound so much better than Cookie Mom. I shared duties with a Cookie Dad (Cookie Dude?). I love Beth Moore and have seen her live twice.
Hi - found you via the blog party. Your site is so lovely! I wish I could help you out on twitter but so far I've held out against it. :)
Stop by some time!

Wow, you have a mixed bag of activity, espelcially playing the Guitar.
Nothing like music.
Popping in from UBP! Glad to make your aquaintance :) P.S. I have a sweet tooth, too. Like, a REALLY bad one.
You sound so busy. I have kids...5 of them...add a Deaf hubby and life gets fun around my place. So free time....not much of that happening. Someday. Someday!
I love to pretend I am a photographer to my three month old girl in my spare time :) I love ANYTHING to do with outdoors as well :) I love your blog and am looking forward to reading some more.
I found you from UBP!

Hello! I am about to go follow you on twitter. I understand neglecting it.. hope you get motivated to tweet more!
That is so awesome! Great job on being almost finished with your degree. I've just made the decision that as soon as I am able to, I am going to go back for my degree in Accounting. And aren't blog parties fun? I do hope that you'll stop by and visit me at my blog as well!

I love Nicholas Sparks too and I love to write. I work from home and have three kids ages 11, 9 and 4. I love the feathers...i need to add my charities to my blog because I am very big into charitable giving! And go Girl Scouts, I am a Gold Award recipient! Nice meeting you on the UBP!
Hi there! I'm going down the UPB list (that I linked to) and here I am at your blog -- your kids are adorable! I plan on learning how to quilt one day. I'm saving all of my children's special clothing (the ones the hold memories for me) and would love to make one giant quilt from patches of them one day.
I'm your newest follower....and I'm so glad that I found the UBP. Wow, I'm overwhelmed at how many new bloggers I am going to meet :)

I linked to your blog in my UBP wrap-up post. Come by and check it out!
I LOVE your video of you and your little ones. I envision life like that when I have babies. I dance around the house like that with my dog and my hubs for now. :-) So fun!
I love to sing and I love to blog when I have down time. One day I will be brave enough to put my singing on my blog, but not anytime soon! ;-)
Hi, visiting from UBP11. The lists are so long but a wonderful way to find new blogs to follow. I find myself coming back to read more. I seem to follow more than blog lately. Finding time is my big challenge. I have a twitter account too and tweeting is my weakness.
