An Ultimate Simply Mel Welcome

Ultimate Blog Party 2010

Hello to my new friends stopping by from the  2010 Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes For Mom.

Welcome!

This is my little corner of the blog world where I get to act all important and in charge. Isn’t my little corner lovely? I should give my brother a shout out since he’s the one who designed my blog. He’s talented like that.

See those two, cute little girls in the picture up top? Those are my two  princesses, Katelyn and Madelyn. They are 4 and 2. They are my pride and joy and I’m so blessed and thankful to have them.

I’m  a wife to a wonderful man, Christian,  wannabe good housekeeper, former missionary kid, former preschool teacher, chocolate loving, coffee addicted, vertically challenged, singing, piano playing, stay at home blogging mama.

I live in New England. But my heart belongs to Texas.

I love me some good t.v nights with the hubs-Lost, Glee, Grey’s Anatomy, So You Think You Can Dance, Heroes and Castle are my favorites.

I love to read.

My favorite color is purple. I wish I had better teeth.My husband is really tall- 6′7- and I’m reeeallly short -5′2-. We’ve made it work.

I dream of singing for a Disney cartoon (  a la The Little Mermaid) one day.

You’ll find I write about my faith, my marriage, my daily life, my girls, my attempt at weight loss and how Financial Peace University is changing our lives A LOT. I try to throw in some humor, some pet peeve posts, recipes and other silliness every now and then.

I recently opened about our struggle to conceive a third child. It felt so great to open up about it that I started writing even more about it. Then I started a brand new fertility support blog- Reflections Of Waiting Wombs.

Really, it’s brand spankin’ new. I welcome more readers and followers! If you’re reading this and you struggle with fertility issues for the first or fifth time I’d love to hear from you. This is an issue I’m passionate about!

Click around. Let me know you were here.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Nice to “meet” you! The height difference with you and your husband just made me giggle, I always think it’s adorable to see two people so different together.
