    Ultimate Blog Party 2012

    For the third year in a row I am taking part in 5MinutesforMom’s Ultimate Blog Party 2012!  If you haven’t seen this before, it is a online party where a bunch of bloggers link together to find new blogs and hopefully make a few new friends!  It is amazing to see how many blogs link up each year all from different niches!  Its great because there is no pressure or timeline, just a bunch of blogs posted to browse through and visit!

    In case this is your first time here, here is a little ABOUT ME:

    My name is Cherise, but I go by Cher since people always seem to butcher Cherise when saying or spelling it.  I am married to Doug, whom I met at a bar in college and we have been married for almost seven years.  We have three kids:  Aidan (5), Gavin (3) and Olivia (9 months).  We live in a western suburb of Chicago and are never moving again!

    Here are a few things you may not know about me:

    • I have four tattoos, although they are all hidden most of the time!  A butterfly on my stomach (yeah let me tell you how big that is after 3 kids!), a shooting star on my other hip, a dragonfly on my shoulder blade and a tribe heart on my lower back.
    • I love to read, especially vampire books.  Yes I read the Twilight series when the movie came out and have been hooked ever since!  I read all sorts of genres though and am always looking for suggestions!
    • I could live off pizza and Mexican food.  I know not really healthy, but I love it!
    • I’d rather take my kids to Disney World than lay on a beach.  I am a big fan of amusement parks and Disney is just so magical.  We are actually heading there in a few weeks for the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration.
    • I am addicted to mail, actual physical mail!  Ever since I can remember, I have always been excited about getting mail that I used to send away for freebies and even penpals, just to get mail back!  As a stay at home mom, my big highlight of the day sometimes is walking out to the mailbox!
    • Oh and if you hadn’t noticed I always love to use exclamation points, probably way too much! 🙂

    Oh and a little big about MOM AND MORE (or check out my About Me page):

    My blog “Mom and More” (originally “Mama’s Money Savers” but since I veered away from coupons/deals I changed my name) is a site where I post daily product reviews and almost daily giveaways!  I also post the occasional deal, recipes, activities, book reviews, movie reviews and personal posts.

    Some of my Favorite Posts:

    Here are my links:

    So I hope you stick around and leave a comment here to say Hi!

    Hopefully you’ll also check out all MY GIVEAWAYS that are listed on the right side of my blog at all times!

    Don’t forget to keep on Blog Hopping at all the other great blogs participating in the Ultimate Blog Hop!  Oh and did I mention there will be prizes, the Ultimate Blog Party is famous for its HUGE prize pool!  Check out the prizes HERE!  So grab a comfy chair, some chips and salsa, and get clicking!

      Wow – so great to find you through UBP! It is so exciting that you are going to DisneySMMoms! – you’re going to have a great time! I also started with savings/deals but have now veered away from them. Exhausting and stressful, right?! Thanks for the great intro and I’ll have to be back for your great giveaways (an extra $200 Paypal cash can always come in handy).

      Hi, Just popping in from UBP12! I too have an exclamation point problem!! Hoping to visit Chicago this summer. It’s been on my list for a while, and we may tour some colleges with my son (if I can stop crying long enough :-)!). Nice to “meet” you!

      Hey Cher, just stopping by from UBP12 to say hello. Your family is beautiful and I am on the same page as you when it comes to eating pizza and Mexican food. I could eat both everyday and be very satisfied! 🙂 Have a fun party week!!!!
