attend the
Ultimate Blog Party!
I LOVE IT and love meeting new friends….it is not too late for you to join in. This year I am giving one of my famous CARD BOXES and to make it more FUN, I am going to give another one away to a lucky visitor on either of my blogs.
All you have to do is leave a comment. I promise I will try and visit every blog…
My name is Teresa. I am a wife of 37 years to Jack, a Mom to Greg and Amanda, a Mother-in LOVE to Micah and Dana, and best of all a GRAMMY to Parker, Jack, Austin and Grayson. If you like family stories this blog might be for you. I try and document everything, as we do this thing called LIFE together. My family blog is Grammy Girlfriend.
This is a blog about the life of a tree decorator. I have been a business owner for 20 years. This year we did 80 trees. Most people have never even heard of this kind of business. The Christmas/Holiday decorating service is booming. I am known as the “tree lady” in my town and I arrive to each house with elves!
A BABY CHANGES EVERYTHING…has more than one meaning.
The title is taken from our life story and from the wonderful song that Faith Hill sings. This blog gives me a chance to pay it forward and help others with tree decorating tips.
I have blogged for 2 years, If you had told me two years ago that I would have written 375 posts and have 1400 followers, I would have said you must have me mixed up with someone else. I thought my first post would be my last….I have met the nicest people ever. We had a medical crisis in our family this past year and bloggers came out of the wood work to see if I was OK. Calls, texts, comments…totally blew me away.
I love little’s (especially mine), ALL THINGS DISNEY…(I am a good friend of THE MOUSE), coffee, football, American Idol, massages, travel with all the family. I love a good book, love to sleep late, love diet coke, love Christmas, Tim McGraw, Brett Favre (sorry), mystic tans, great hotels and great sheets,my Keurig, TiVo (how did we ever live with out it), magazines, Beth Moore Bible studies, hot baths, rainy days, pajama days (today was one),the smell of lavender, fresh flowers, a good movie. SO SURELY we have something in common.
These are they people I party with the MOST…..
So happy that you stopped by. Please come back often. Besides some funny stories, I have lots of giveaways. For the next month on my holiday blog, I am going to put the spotlight on other blogs. If you would like yours featured, leave me a note in the comments.
Have fun at the party!

Hi Teresa, We have plenty in common including GRANDKIDS (YAY), Loving Beth Moore and her wonderful verse by verse Bible studies, holiday party celebrations - on and off the blog, and diet coke. :) So fun to "see" you at your "other online address." Have a fun night.
Hi there – just stopping by to say hi as part of the party route. Feel free to visit our blog – http://yoursfaithfully.ca/blog/?p=203. Enjoy the party and keep up the blogging.
Love your blog and always check in to see what neat things you are creating for the Christmas season.
Hi, visiting from the party! Thanks for stopping by my blog and being so complimentary.
I am so glad you did... because now I've found a new blog to follow!!
(do you ever think it's too hard to write sometimes--because you want to be reading everyone else's blogs?!?! I do!!)
Have a good Friday!!
I'm here from UBP! It looks like you've had a great couple of years :) And you've got darling grandbabies to party with it seems! I hope you have a great week!

Oh hey! I'm up for a party :)
I love what you do for a living :) It's fabulous and I'm sure someone out there has to keep those elves in line :)
I love hot bubble baths (but forget what they're like ;0) I live in the Fabulous Florida Keys.
I have a black thumb (all things green DIE when I even dare to look their way...doesn't mean I stop trying though lol)
I have 6 kids and 2 grand babies (who I have part time)
We are a BUSY BUSY household!
Thanks for inviting me to the party - it's been awhile since I got to celebrate with friends :)
WHOO HOOOO!

Hi Teresa. This is fun that you are having another Blog Party! That would be fun to win your big box of pretty cards!
I hope Hubby is feeling well....and that everything is going ok.
I think it is fun that you are such a Disney Fan. Mickey Mouse loves you I'm sure!!!!
I love you too! These two years of being your blog friend has been fun. I love it that all of your blog friends sent up all of those prayers for Jack. My hubby and I were among those praying for him. God is soooo Good!

Chris ... also H-U-G-E Tim McGraw fan!!!!!!
We have so much in common! Thank you for stopping by on my blog. I will be adding you to my list. This party is so much fun :)
I am following GFC both of your blogs.
After I GFC'd your other blog I came and did the same on this one. I am so blown away at the colors of your blogs (they looke like Christmas colors) and after reading a little I see why. You are into Christmas. So am I! I have tubs & tubs of stuff in the basement. It usually takes me a week to get everything up and put out. This past Christmas was not one of them. I had to have both knees replaced so I don't know how much lugging I will be doing anymore. We will see. As I said on the other blog, you had stopped by my blog first so I returned the favor. I too am a grandmother to one granddaughter and one grandson. Since I live off disability these contests on the bloggers sites have provided me with gifts to give everyone at Christmas & birthdays so I think all bloggers are awesome. I am not sure I could handle reviews & contests as I also have RA and Fibromyalgia so my energy level is pretty low. But I do try to list them on my blog so I try to help the bloggers who do have contests from time to time. I already bookmarked your other site. Do I need to bookmark this one also? Which one does the contests? I tried to figure it out but you mentioned both so I was not sure. Thanks for being part of the Blogmania 2011!

HI again...
I'm following this one, too. How do you keep up with two blogs? I'm starting another one, too, that documents our homeschooling days, events, lesson plans, memories...and I'm a bit nervous that I won't be able to give both blogs my full attention! Last thing I want to do is neglect one of them. Sounds a bit like children, LOL...when you are trying to decide if you should have that #2 child :)

Swinging in to say hello from the UBP. It's been a whirlwind, it's amazing to see how many blogs there are out there and how many people you have something in common with :) Feel free to swing by my UBP for an Amazon giveaway (worldwide) or if dresses are your thing, the Shabby Apple Giveaway (RV $92) (US only) is pretty awesome!
Happy Partying!

Thanks for stopping by during the UBP!! I am following your blog - I love that song!!! Hope you've had fun hopping around. I can tell you our baby changed everything - he is a miracle, when we wondered if we'd ever have the blessing of being parents - and now our second miracle is on the way. You can read my story about my Journey to Motherhood here: http://jukiczr.blogspot.com/p/motherhood.html
Thanks for stopping by Mom of 3 Dolls! Have fun this last day :) I'm already following both blog.

I love how you said it - "Mother-in-Love!" That's so great! I think I'll use "in-Love" to refer to my stepmother-in-law (and her sons, and their wives) who are no longer technically family, due to divorce, but are absolutely family in our hearts!
Thank you for visiting my blog, and if you wanted to feature mine, that'd be cool, but there are some other great ones who do bento and muffin tin meals too!
Hi! I love your blog! Just stopping by from UBP! I'm new to blogging and UBP. Please stop by and visit my blog. When I reach 100 followers, I will be giving away 1 Lavender Essential Oil to 1 lucky winner!

Hi! Wow! I love what you do! This song might be my favorite Cmas song and listening to it makes me sad that Cmas is so far away!!! I hope you have a great week! Oh and i found your blog from the UBP!
