2010 Ultimate Blog Party!


Ultimate Blog Party 2010






Hello and welcome to my blog, Escape Into My Thoughts! This is the place that I make my 'mental escape' and unwind, let loose, complain, share the ups and downs of life and well, you get the picture!




For those of you who are new here, I want to tell you a little bit about myself, just to get this 'party' started!




I am first and foremost, a mother. My two daughters, ages 13 and 10 are my life, my world, and my reason for breathing. I am not really sure if I would be categorized as a 'mommy' blogger because my children were older when I began blogging. However, if I had it to do over again, I definitely would have blogged every moment of life as a first time, newbie mom. Those years were great!



I have been divorced for 3 years now and I work full-time outside the home, for our City Court in this small town we call 'home'. I absolutely love my job. It allows me to have the freedom to be a mom and care for my children and put their needs first and that is very important to me.



Some of my hobbies include reading, blogging (duh!), listening to music, computer stuff (especially facebook) and my all time favorite past time in the whole world....photography! If I could marry my camera, I definitely would! The only thing I do not like about photography is the lack of time I have in the day to dedicate to it.



I do have an additional blog to this one, and of course, it's all about photos! The photos that I enjoy taking, editing and displaying. I would be really thrilled if you took the time to visit!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope that you will continue to visit!

For those of you who are regular visitors of mine, join in the 2010 Ultimate Blog Party sponsored by 5 Minutes for Mom and get a crack at some fabulous prizes!


There are tons of really cool prizes to be won at this year's Ultimate Blog Party, but my top three picks would be:

...and if my top 3 are already chosen, I'd love any of the following, in order of preference
23, 31, 32, 73 or anything that could in turn be given as a prize in a future giveaway on this blog!
