I'm Here For The Party!!

If you're not aware...it's Blog Party '09 time!!! I've actually taken part in past Blog Parties, when I blogged under another name, but this is a first for Kitchen Table Parenting.

Isn't it exciting! We can win prizes! We can get to know new bloggers. It's so fun!! I know that I have found a couple of my favorite bloggers through past parties and I am excited to add new ones to my sidebar after this year's event.

So...WELCOME! Take a seat at my kitchen table and lets chat!

I have snacks..

Savory Party Bread

Pumpkin Seeds

I have pizza:

Herbed Parmesan Pizza Dough

Red & White Sauce


I have dessert:

Sauteed Strawberries


For the kiddies:

Sugar-Free Gummi Worms


After you've indulged in all of my snacks...let me refer you over to my Fitness Blog so you can learn how to best work off those calories and maybe..if you take the step..make some money while you're at it!

No party is complete without a great discussion, right? So go here to put your two cents in about a new "friend" that is about to debut for our children.

I want to thank you for stopping by..dont forget to join the party at 5 Minutes For Mom for your chance to make new friends and win some prizes!

Feel free to hang out as long as you like, and leave me comments! I will definitely respond and keep the conversation going!

So great to meet you!
Sugar-free gummie worms- how cool!

Loved your video...I had no idea there was even a new Dora being considered (I must live under a rock).
My two year old daughter LOVES Dora.
But, I'm sure that at her age she probably won't even know the difference:)

Your daughter is sooooo adorable :)
