Welcome to the Ultimate Blog Party!
5 Minutes for Mom is hosting a fantastic party! I'm always up for a party, so let the festivities begin! :)
So, for those of you who are here for the first time, let me tell you just a few things about myself.
1. I'm the proud adoptive mom of the most wonderful 2 year old boy, my little Snuggle Bug. You can read all about our first adoption journey in my 10 part series called "It wasn't supposed to work this way...". If you want to learn more about our private, domestic adoption, start with Part 1. The entire series can be found on my sidebar. We'll be adopting a second time, hopefully in the near future, so stay tuned for news on our next adoption journey.
2. I'm the proud wife of Oronzo. We've been married for almost 4 years. We had a fairytale wedding in Ireland. Oronzo even wore a kilt!
3. I'm the hostess of a weekly recipe exchange called Favorite Ingredients Friday. It's a great way to help with weekly menu planning! Next Friday I'll be doing a St. Patrick's Day themed recipe exchange. I hope you can join in the fun!
4. I love doing crafty things like decorating cookies, card stamping, scrapbooking, and I'm even dabbling a little bit in jewelry making.
Okay, enough about me. If you've stopped by, please share a tidbit of information about yourself in my comments section!
Now, I'm off to meet those of you that left links over at Janice and Susan's party central blog! If you haven't joined the party, please do so. You're invited!

What a beautiful site! I love all the yummy cookies....killer for my diet though :) Nice to meet you.
I'm certainly not a new visitor, but I dropped in to see if you were attending the party. Very nice introduction to Overwhelmed With Joy. I'm sure some socks will be knocked off when new people drop in and see how beautiful it is over here. :-)
Definitely a blog I will come back to!
I enjoyed reading about your cookie making and your wedding!
Nice to meet you!
Found you via one of your comments on Jenna's adoption blog, and then realized you're attending the party, too!

Hiya, I came over here from 5 minutes for Mum. I'm having such fun visiting blogs and finding out more about people. Thanks for inviting me :-)
I always love visiting you. But I don't think I ever saw the pictures from your wedding. Now I am green with jealousy!!
Hey there - so glad to see you again. This party is putting us all back in touch with each other. I love your adoption story and now to hear your wedding story. So beautiful!
Saying hi from the party. I'm party hopping.
I'm going to come back and read your adoption story. i work in foster care and domestic adoption is very important to me.
Did you just get married there or do you live there now? My sister LOVES Ireland, she went there on a missions trip decades ago. The pictures look very inviting... maybe I'll have to add it to my list.
Enjoy the partying!!
Dropping by the party! It's 7:45am here, GOOD MORNING Party head!
Those cookies look too pretty to eat! They're so perfect!
Just wanted to stop by the party and say Hi. It's nice to meet you!
When you get a chance, please stop by and check out my photo contest and daily book giveaway.
Aloha!
So glad you found some time between mommy-ing and packing to join the party! You must have some mean time management skills.
I didnt join the party myself, with Sarah and family visiting, but wanted you to know I stopped by and enjoyed the visit. I'm longing to get back to stamping and scrapbooking this summer. I'm so far behind it's a desperate mess.
1st time commenting but i have reading for awhile. Just read about your fairytale wedding and oh my how beautiful was that!! My dream is to go to Ireland one day and this has made the heartache even more LOL.
I can't believe I have not been here already!!!
Hope you are having fun with this PARTY! It has been a blast.
I am adding your blog to my blogroll today since I visit often.

Your templete is amazing....just stopping in to join in the party...
happy blogging

STUNNING pictures! I was hopping from blog to blog for the party and well, I just love the scenery here! Thank you so much for putting yourself on the list- it totally made my day!
Stopping in on the party trail. Ive been by your site quite a few times. I enjoy reading your blog.
I really enjoyed reading your wedding story, its beautiful...and what an experience to be married in Ireland? My Uncle was married in Ireland, he married a girl that was from Ireland. I was not able to attend, but i would love to. I think they got married in Dublin...not 100% sure.
As for me, Im Carey, mom to 4 wonderful kids, married to my best friend, and daughter to the Lord. I like to decorate cakes(still working on the rose, havent quite figured it out), not so much cookies, and i would love to try jewelry making.
I hope you get the chance to stop by my blog sometime.
Trying to arrange a real blogger girl weekend in the midwest...you in?
Swinging in for the party. Nice to meet ya.
My 3rd party favor give away has started.
Come on over when ya get a chance.
PARTY ON!!!!
I enjoyed getting to know more about you! Even though I'm starting to be a frequent visitor to your wonderful blog (every Friday of course!) I haven't gotten around to reading up too much on you personally. I had a great time, hope you do at all the parties you stop by as well! :)
what a fun blog you have! Thanks for joining the party! And stop by mine for some digital scrapbooking kits, chocolate bar wrappers & photo cards for printing!!

Following the Party Trail
Your husband wore a kilt at your wedding?? How cool is that!
And congrats on your successful adoption and good luck on the next one! I think it's great that you're blogging about your journey! I'm sure it'll be an inspiration for other adoptive parents out there.
Thanks for the welcome and party on!
Beautiful blog. We are adopting domestically too ;o)
I'm glad that in the midst of packing boxes you were able to find time to throw a party!!
Nice to see a familiar face, if it's few and far between. (I dread the day my work does the same thing about blocking out sites. I'll be crying for sure!)
I'm off to mingle again, but you know I'll be back to get more recipes later...
I hope you find more time to party with us!
Beautiful blog. I might try and follow your Favourite Ingredients Friday. Stopped in for the party. I'm glad I did!

As always I love reading your blog. I am back from my cruise and trying to get life back to normal. Looking forward to catching up on my blog reading!
Thanks for stopping by my party! I love the photography on your site. Sounds like it was a fairytale wedding!!
I loved the link to your fairytale wedding! It was like a trip out there . . LOVED IT! I enjoyed scrolling around.
Thanks for stopping by my party!
I found you through a Favorite Ingredients Friday link. I'm so glad I did as I'm never going to be able to get through the whole party list. I'm not a great cook but I love to collect recipes so I'll be perusing your FIF meme on a weekly basis:)
I hope you had fun at the party!
Blessings-Jennifer
Hello! It's so nice to stop by and meet you. Your blog is gorgeous. I could look at your pictures all day! Hope you enjoyed the party
I just glanced at your post about your wedding in Ireland. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
My hubby and I are both of Irish descent and it is our dream to visit Ireland one day to trace down our ancestory.
Love your blog and am planning to start participating in your Favorite Ingredients Fridays.
