My 100th Blog Post ~ 7 Facts About Me
~ Woo Hoo This Is #100 For Me ~
In honor of this being my 100th blog post I have decided to share with all of you 7 Facts About Me. I got the idea after after Jennifer - The Deliberate Mom was nominated to share seven things about herself in one of those fun games spreading across the blogosphere in which you then nominate seven people to do the same. Well Jennifer decided to leave it up to her reader's whether to participate or not instead of only picking seven of them. I really enjoyed getting to know her better and since I was looking for something fun to do for my 100th post thought maybe all of you would like to get to know me a little better too.
The problem I ran into was that it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be to come up with seven facts about myself. I found that I had been pondering the whole thing for hours but getting absolutely nowhere. I finally decided to ask my husband, Kenny, to help me and I also called my friend, Rebecca to ask for her thoughts on the subject at hand. So thanks to their awesome help I am now ready to share seven things you probably didn't know about me.
An Easy and Inexpensive Way to Keep the Kids Busy During Christmas or Family Gatherings
Are you looking for a way to keep the kiddos busy during your festivities this year? This is an easy to setup, limited supervision, and budget friendly activity to keep the kids entertained not only during the Christmas Season but for any holiday or family gathering where there will be little ones. This is something my family has been doing for years and on Thanksgiving I even took part in the activity. I also incorporated the idea into my wedding reception earlier this year.

Surreal
With all of the different emotions running through me it was rather difficult to chose just one word. But as I pondered the subject and pinched myself, yet again, to ensure I wasn't dreaming the perfect word popped into my head. Finally, I was able to sum up my week with just one word. So without further ado my Word of the Week is:
What Mom Needs For Christmas! Mommy Reality #24
It's that time again for the bi-weekly Mommy Reality Challenge. Before we get to the theme for this Mommy Reality I want to thank Jen, Celeste, and Amber, the awesome hosts for the last Mommy Reality Challenge #23 Mom's Pet Peeve, because YAY ME I won! Not only was I awarded the fabulous meme below but I have been asked to co-host the next challenge with the lovely Jen and Celeste. I must say that I am honored and super, duper excited to be co-hosting with them in a few weeks!

Thank You All For Being A Blessing To Me
~ Blessings brighten our lives even more when we count them ~
I wanted to take this time to thank each and every one of you that read my blog for blessing my life in so many ways. For that I am truly thankful for on this Thanksgiving day. To be honest, without all of your kind and loving words in your comments along with all the support you have given me the past 10 months, Welcome to My Circus probably wouldn't have made it this far.
Wishing all of you and your families a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving Day!
Love,

For My Sunshine...
This morning I read this quote and immediately thought of my Little Sunshine, Jaynee Marie!
Welcome to My Circus...but I truly wouldn't want it any other way!
Wishing you all a bright and cheery day!
My “Blonde” Problems #4
Welcome to the fourth edition of My “Blonde” Problems. Now before you all start hating on me I must admit that I am a natural blonde. I colored my hair black several years ago because I wanted to be taken more seriously. As you can probably tell from that statement alone, as soon as I open my mouth to speak I tend to ruin the façade almost immediately! These problems that I speak of are the type of problems that only happen to me…or so it seems. If you are a blonde too, you can probably agree. Here are my “blonde” problems from the archives because I didn’t really do anything too terribly "blonde” this week! Yay Me!!

My “Blonde” Problems #3
Welcome to the third edition, a day late, of My “Blonde” Problems. Now before you all start hating on me I must admit that I am a natural blonde. I colored my hair black several years ago because I wanted to be taken more seriously. As you can probably tell from that statement alone, as soon as I open my mouth to speak I tend to ruin the façade almost immediately! These problems that I speak of are the type of problems that only happen to me…or so it seems. If you are a blonde too, you can probably agree. Here is my latest “blonde” problem.

To The Daughter I Wish I Knew…My Missing Child
Not many people know that I have four children, not three. For the past thirteen and a half years it was easier to just say I had three children rather than having to explain where the missing child was. However, each time I told that white lie I could not help but feel a twitch of pain in my heart for I knew the truth. It made me feel as if I was hiding you from the world, which is entirely untrue. I told this fib as a form of self-protection more than anything else. You see, the only way I could carry on with my life without you while remaining a functioning person in society and a Mom to your brother and sisters was to keep all of it buried deep inside of my heart and soul only speaking of it and you when absolutely necessary.
