2012 Ultimate Blog Party

If you’re stopping by from the 2012 Ultimate Blog Party … WELCOME!

My name is Gretchen and I’ve been blogging since January 2010 when I found out I was expecting my sweet daughter, Jemma. She is now 18 months old and busy as a bee :) This August we’ll be bringing a baby brother on board, and my husband, Dominic, and I couldn’t be more excited!

I’m a Christian mama who loves to read, thrift, use my crockpot, take bubble baths, and blog, of course :)

For the last 7 months I’ve been a stay-at-home mama and I’ve loved every minute of it … well, all except for the minute this morning when Jemma dumped Cheerios on the floor and walked all over them, smiling at every crunch she heard. We’re currently building a house, planning for baby brother, and getting ready for spring/summer … whenever it decides to arrive in the Pacific Northwest.

Here’s a few highlights of my favorite posts …

• All about our cloth diaper routine
• 100 fun facts about me featured during Sunday Confessional
• I write for Natural Parents Network and if you stop by, I’m sure it will quickly become one of your favorite parenting resources
• You can find the current giveaway here, 2 Prime Time Shopping Passes to Just Between Friends in Portland, and APRIL GIVEAWAY DAY will launch on the 25th
• I’m learning to morph my corporate wardrobe into a more SAHM appropriate style
• About my breastfeeding journey and why I donated some of my pumped milk to a stranger
• How we announced baby #2’s gender to our family

Now that you know a bit about me, be sure to leave a comment with your blog address and I’ll stop by when I have a few minutes to myself :) You can also find me on GFC, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest!
