Ultimate Blog Party 2011 at AndTwinsMake5.com

Ultimate Blog Party 2011They are at it again, 5minutesformom.com is hosting another Ultimate Blog Party and we are joining in once again on the fun.  This year's official post about the party can be found on their blog here.  If you are a fellow blogger, you'll want to check it out.  There are even some fun prizes to be won. 






If this is your first visit to And Twins make 5!, welcome, allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Stephanie and I am a married mommy of 5 children.  My husband and I have been married for over 19 years.  Our oldest child is a 16 year old H.S, sophomore boy named JC, our second oldest is an 12 year old son named Hayden, then comes our daughter Cordelia who is 10, and finally our 2.5 year old twin boys.  (That is 4 boys and a girl in case you lost track.)

And twins make 5! features a slice of my daily life.  You'll find it includes my own parenting insights, family life observations, various recipes, random photos, decorating tips, comments on world happenings, reviews on products, crafty projects, hosted contests, info on places we go, parties I've planned and more.  I hope you'll find reading my blog is a bit like talking to your mom friends about all that mom stuff.

My blogging experiences have extended well beyond written posts to include real life adventures such as a trip to Build-a-Bear Bearquarters and being selected as one of 10 elite bloggers to attend a very special event compliments of Hershey's Chocolate Company.  I've also been dubbed a Kraft Kitchens Delicious Byte Official Blogger allowing me to be among the first to share news on the various Kraft brands.  In fact, you can read about my recent trip to the Kraft Kitchens here.  



In June of 2010, my trip as one of four invited Mommy Bloggers to visit P&G Pampers Baby Care Headquarters to discuss the Dry Max Diapers commotion was the subject of various news stories and blog posts including my own.  The power of social media in relation to consumers taking on corporations was also the recent topic of a Chicago Tribune Article in which I am quoted.  Related news, I was recently (2/2011) honored to be named as one of the members of the brand new P&G Pampers Baby Board.  This board includes 18 active blogging moms and dads.
