Ultimate Blog Party

Ultimate Blog Party 2008

Welcome to our humble online home. Thanks for stopping by. Can I offer you some sweet tea? Maybe some homemade brownies, chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, or peanut butter cookies? As always, we have lots of healthy goodies such as a fruit tray, veggies & dip, and cheese & crackers. It’s all gluten free, of course.

Let me introduce myself. I’m devildogwife. I’m married to my junior high sweetheart, devildog (D). In case you can’t guess, my beloved is a Marine (aka devildog). He’s currently serving overseas, so sadly, he may not be able to attend the party. We have a beautiful “little” girl, Munchkin. She’s homeschooled and loves animals and nature. She also loves sports.

We started to really focus on eating more healthy when we started our gluten-free journey this year. It’s been interesting learning how to incorporate gluten-free living into our lives. It’s had it’s difficulties since D is serving overseas and is also gluten-free. We’ve been lovingly sending him lots of gluten-free goodness.

As we’ve been learning more about being healthy, we’ve been making other changes in our lives as well. We’ve started using non-toxic cleaning products. This lead to learning more about how our choices can make a difference in the beautiful world that the Lord has given us. So, we’ve gotten better about recycling and not using plastic bags. We’re incorporating more healthy personal care items into our routine as well.

Well, that’s just a little bit about us. Feel free to look around a little bit. Please let me know if you have any suggestions of living a more “green” and/or healthy lifestyle or if you have a blog about green/healthy living.

There are so many cool prizes to be won at this year’s Ultimate Blog Party, but my top five picks would be:

And if my top five picks are already chosen, I’d love any of the following (in order of preference):#49, #79, #117, #18, #140, #129. We will pass on the lovely prizes for babies and little ones as Munchkin is going to be 9 next month. Wow! How time flies!

    Thanks for visiting my blog!

    Thank you SO MUCH for your husband’s service. It must be so hard to be without him for extended periods.

    We are thankful for him and his fellow marines for keeping us safe!

    I could use the Target and Amazon gift cards too. Amazon is great for my gluten free goods in bulk!

    Thanks for stopping by. Come again!

    Aw your daughter is so cute. I’ve been seriously looking into a gluten-free diet as well. Eating healthier is one of my goals for this year. It’s tough.

    Nice to meet you! 🙂

    It is really nice to meet you! I’m having so much fun visiting all the party stops!!! I really am full, but maybe I’ll take a brownie . . . ok, throw an oatmeal cookie on the plate too 🙂

    It’s amazing how good it feels to make changes step by step that are healthier and better for our environment!

    Blessings,

    Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and introducing yourself. I really hope you found my web-site of interest. And YES, if you buy a Vita-Mix, ‘please’ remember to buy it from me. 🙂

    I LOVE your 14 days till Easter post. I wish to borrow your daylight savings time history story. 🙂

    I ‘will’ be re-visiting your blog often. I just love it.

    Many thanks and prayers for your husbands service!

    Blessings to your husband and your family for your service to our country.

    We are trying to be more ‘green’ too. I am curious, how do the stores act when you bring in your own bags? I mean, they have their turnstyles and bag holders, does it slow them down? Do they resent that?

    Thanks for stopping by my party!

    Anyway, it’s working now!!! 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and commenting too! If you ever do purchase a Vita-Mix, ‘please’ remember to buy from me. 🙂 I LOVE your blog and ‘will’ be re-visiting often. Do you mind if I add your blog to my blog roll? God bless you, your family and your husband for his service to our country.
