Hi all party girls! I want to extend a warm welcome to you and thank you for coming to my little corner of the net for the party! I am a little late joining, but I've been out of the loop for awhile and didn't realize it's party time yet again. I had a great time last year visiting so many of your sites and I look forward to coming back around to you all again!Well, let me start by introducing myself. I'm Amy, as you probably gathered from my blog name. I am married to Michael and we have a two year old daughter we affectionaly refer to as the peanut. We live in a small town in Indiana, which we really enjoy. We also have two dogs and four chickens.
I stay at home with my daughter and usually keep super busy with story times, bible studies, MOPS groups and playdates. Along, of course, with just keeping up on the house, cooking and laundry. It all keeps me on my toes, but I would have it no other way.
My little girl last fall, isn't she a beauty?
My husband gives people on the interstate this sign in his rear view mirror when he's irritated. Isn't he silly?
I've been blogging almost 3 years now, although I really didn't get into it until about a year and a half ago. I've had three different blogs in that time but this was my first and I wound up coming back recently.
I usually blog about just life in general. Whatever is on my heart and in my mind at that time. That could be a new recipe I've tried, website I've visited, something the peanut has said that I just had to share and it usually consists of lots of pictures. I actually just lost my last 3 months of pictures so I'm still recovering and need to download some new ones soon.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the prizes I would really love to win from 5 Minutes for Mom. Last year I won a gift card to Starbucks and that was fabulous!
They have some fun ones this year too and my favorites would be:
1. $25 gift certificate to Target from Angela at MommyBytes
2. A $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com from Judy at Welcome to My World of Dreams
3. A $20 gift certificate to Amazon from MommyDaddyblog
4. Chocolate from the Chocolistas
5. Book Bag from Who Can Ask For Anything More
6. 50 Fun Family Nights from Essential Family Living
Please leave a note for me to let me know you stopped by and I look forward to visiting you too!

Have a super week!
I like your blog! Hope everyone is/stays better! I've recently blogged about the sickness here at our house, but we weren't nearly as sick as you and your little one!
I'm SO sorry to hear about your pictures, you did well to overcome it so soon! I lost a tape recording from when I was 12, an interview with my grandfather all about his life, I am FINALLY coming to terms with that, and it's been almost 20 years!
I'll be back, I think I could benefit from your positive attitude!
Nice to meet you! Your daughter is darling. Thanks for stopping by my party post!
I love the pic of your daughter! I think black and whites with a bit of color are awesome!
