Hello and welcome to the Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom! The point of this cool party is to get to know new people, the more the merrier (and win free prizes!) So here we go: My name is Michelle and the squirming little boy you see is my son, Elliot! I'm 24 years old, originally from America, I moved here when I was 18 to marry my best friend (and man I met on the Internet) N, and we welcomed our little guy into the world 15 months ago. I sometimes struggle with the hardships of having a toddler, my childhood, my many addictions - but I get through it with the loving support of my blog-buddies, through my greatest pasttime, and of course through writing this blog! I love to play games with my son, read, cook tasty food, catch up with old friends, watch lots of television and movies, and listen to music. I'd like to learn to knit, plant a vegetable garden, travel and figure out what I want to be when I grow up...
I think it's hilarious that I'm participating in an online party. I'll tell you why - I recently moved into my neighbourhood last September and we had new neighbours move in last November. The new neighbours have a son similar in age to my little boy, and the friendly neighbours that they are have invited me over for coffee quite a few times and I've been too shy to take up their offer! I'm such a shy, little wallflower. Can you guess who else is? :) Actually, that's not true - Elliot has never been shy, but he likes to keep me always guessing and on my toes! Here he is, dancing to his favourite song 'Hips Don't Lie' by Shakira - let loose and join him!
And when you're done, please leave a comment to let Elliot and I know you've been here, and continue reading my blog, Fluttering Butterflies! (I've started a new feature on my blog called Friday Favourites - PLEASE JOIN ME!)

ReplyDeleteHello, cool party! I have met a lot of ladies who met their husbands on the internet.
ReplyDeleteHi - just stopping by from the Ultimate Blog party - I love your blog design. Did you do it? The butterflies are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteI am slowly making my way around the blog party circuit. I think that long-winded spammer person hit a lot of us -- I had the exact same comment and have seen it elsewhere, too.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like me in wanting to do or learn to do all kinds of things. :)
Since my blog party post has gotten pushed back off the first page and my host won't allow a "stick post," I'll post the link to my blog party here. Hope you can drop by!
Hello! I love the butterflies on your blog - gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYour son is adorable by the way. And a great dancer ;-)
I'm late, but I finally joined the party over here
Have a great day!
