Today starts the Ultimate Blog Party at 5 Minutes For Mom! I am always on the look out for a good blog to toss into the ol’ reader. Plus the giveaways are fantastic! If you are a regular, you may remember that I won a prize just before Christmas from them for the Cuddler, which was nice. He got quite the haul.
If you’ve just found us, Welcome! I’m Jana. I’m a single mom to two adorable little ones (no bias, they’re way cute!). In November 2010, we became official! You can read our adoption story below, if you’re the curious type.
My daughter Lala is “almost four” (she bypassed three) and is in love with gymnastics. The Cuddler is nearly three and is a firecracker! We love to go for walks, hang out with cousins and generally cause mayhem. They both have a fondness for ink pens… but only when they can draw on furniture. I now have an arsenal of tips to get various inks out of a variety of upholstery. Just ask!
I would love to be a stay at home mom if it weren’t for the whole needing money thing. Instead I spend my days with teenagers, teaching English at a high school. When I’m not working, I’m desperately trying to teach my kids how to play games (with rules!), cooking and figuring out yet another remodeling project. This summer I may drag out my sewing machine, but I make no promises on that one…
Let me know if you stopped by and I’ll return the favor. (:
8 Talk To Me!:
Hi, congratulations on your adoption for last November ...:0)
I'm your newest follower, love your blog.
Thank you for visiting me, I'm so glad you dropped by as I always enjoy reading about kids finding their forever homes. Being an adult adoptee myself, it's a topic near and dear to my heart. Seeing how you're also a teacher, well you just shot to the top of my cool people list:)
Thanks for stopping by my UBP party! What an amazing adoption journey you have had!!!
Congratulations mama!
Found your site thru UBP11--your site name caught my attention, but you actual site made me want to stay and read -- the colorful design and great writing style. What a wonderful thing to become a single parent to these foster children who needed a permanent loving home. I also looked at your Hedgetoad blog -- you have some great views/posts on the state of education and teaching today that I wish more people could read and understand. Glad to now be a follower of both blogs.
Hi Jana! Thanks for stopping by my blog from UPB. I'll be following you! :-)
Yeah . . . I hate that needing money thing too. Takes away from all the fun. Your kids will look up to you one day though for all you did for them. :)
Howdy!
We also love to go on walks!!
