Partytime!

Ultimate Blog Party 2009

In honor of the 5 Minutes for Mom annual Blog Party my children are throwing you a party. Grab your party hat and join the chaos, I mean festivities!!


We worked really hard on the decorations!


We'll play you some music


Do a little face painting



Here are the flowers we picked just for you
There are yummy things to eat!



Oh, and cake! Lots of cake and feel free to dig in with both hands. That's the way we do it around here!



If you get tired just take a nap anywhere you'd like, someone will come around and cover you up!


Of course, there's always room for one more in this bed!



And don't worry about cleaning up a thing.




We'll take care of it!












While you're here, maybe you can figure out why Mommy named her blog "It Feels Like Chaos".

Do you feel any chaos?







No, the real inspiration for the blog name is the Sanctus Real song "Whatever You're Doing (Something Heavenly). Listen to a clip of the song in the sidebar and Check out the lyrics here.

The lyrics beautifully describes our home that even though "it feels like chaos, somehow there's peace." and we pray that "whatever He's doing" that it is "bigger than me".

Thanks for stopping by our party! It was so great to have you!

Y'all come back now, ya hear?

  38. You have a cool site. I am going to show it to my mom. She told me about the blog party at 5min4moms, so I wanted to visit your site. My name is Becca and I have a website about cooking and easy recipes for kids. Have your kids who like to cook stop by for a visit. We have videos of other kids cooking to make cooking easier. Thank you and have fun at the blog party!

  42. Oh, I'm loving the song and the blog name in relation to it. I want to go listen to that song now. I'm just blog hopping. Often I feel my own life is chaos, with 4 children 7 & under (3 in 3 years!). I'm sure I'm going to grow a lot from reading your blog. I'm trying to grow in peace with my reality and accept that it's just not going to be like everyone elses. ♥ I'm so excited to have found your blog. :D
