Party With Me at the Ultimate Blog Party 2013! #UBP13

For the forth year in a row I am taking part in 5MinutesforMom’s Ultimate Blog Party 2013!  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 (6), Gavin (4) and Olivia (19 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.
  • 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!

  • Thank you for stopping by my blog Cher through UBP13. I see we have a lot in common. I do not have four tattoos, but everything else sounds exactly like me. I have one very big (naturally expanded) symbolical loppy-eared rabbit on my hip bone of all places that most people do not know about because I hardly ever put on a bathing suit. After having Alyssa, I noticed it doubled in size. LOL. I love the movie Twilight and begged my hubby to buy me the set of books. Unfortunately, I haven't had any time to read them. I could (but don't) eat Mexican food and pizza several times a week even though I know how bad it is for me as well except that I believe chocolate is at the top of my list. I eat that every single day. Yep - horrible! I love mail as well because it is usually a homeschool curricula or product for me to review. My daughter and I love trying new things. I use many (. . . and !) when writing. I think it is because I am always trying to show my excitement. Stop by A Learning Journey any time you get a chance - would love to hear from you again. Have a blessed day.

  • Hi Cher, Stopping by from #UBP13. Thanks for stopping by my site. Your kids are adorable and I am definitely going to check out your recipes. The brown sugar and garlic chicken is something I would love!

  • Thank you for joining the party again! We really appreciate it.

    I can join you for pizza but Mexican food is usually too spicy for me. LOL

    And, yay for Disney!

    • Thanks for hosting the party! I'm a wuss for Mexican food and always get mild while my husband gets extra hot!

  • Thanks for stopping by my blog! We are readers at our house too. And pizza is my secret snack food that is so unhealthy!

  • Just stopping by from the UBP13. We hope you stop by our party for a slice of warm banana bread and cold milk.
    Hugs,
    Cathi

  • Thanks for stopping by my place :) I am now following you everywhere! Nice to "meet" you!

  • Oh I love pizza and Mexican food too. Yum! Nice to find another blogger who isn't too too far away (I'm in the Milwaukee area). I don't know how you keep up with almost daily giveaways!

  • Hi Cher! So nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by TheJoysofBoys.com! You have adorable children. And, isn't it funny that something as simple as getting mail can make your day. :) And, yes, we love Disney too. Have a great day!

    • And I forgot to mention that we would love to have you over at our Facebook group, Mom Bloggers of Boys, since you have those two cuties. :) We support, share, inspire, etc as we raise our kids and grow our blogs. If you want to join you can request at https://www.facebook.com/groups/100684360125084/ and I'll add you. :)
