Ultimate Blog Party 2010







Hey Everyone! My name is Melanie and this will be my second year joining the UPB. It's actually hard to believe it's been a year. I am married to my husband, Brandon for just about four and a half years. I have one step son who is ten and a daughter who is three. I write about giveaways, product reviews, faith, parenting, odd subjects, and whatever comes to me.

I am a stay at home mommy right now who does some odd Internet jobs from time to time. I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, baking, and creating whatever comes to me.

I think the blog party is a great way to network and check out other blogs. And I can't wait to meet you! Please come by and say hi to myself and as many other participant as you'd like. My blog was quiet for about a month while I was offline but, I came back on in time to participate, lucky me.

These prizes are my favorite but, there are so many it's hard to choose!

Welcome Ultimate Blog Party People!

Ultimate Blog Party 2009

Hello everyone, I'm Melanie and welcome to my blog! I started this blog to keep my online friends up to date with the happenings of my life and family, and later to update my family out of town.


In the last couple of months, I have eased into the review/giveaway arena because it looked like tons of fun! It HAS been lots of fun, and I'm enjoying networking with so many wonderful businesses and people.

If you look to the right of my blog, you will see windows for both my Etsy and Art Fire shops, KaiLei Designs. I am currently making home decor frames from recycled and unfinished frame bases and decorating and/or painting them. Please check it out when you have the chance.


I am married, just over three years now and I have one daughter and a step-son. They make life fun and interesting. I am currently a stay at home mommy, and I love it. Such a blessing especially in these times, to be able to do. Blogging helps me stay in touch with adults while taking care of a toddler during the day. I even get to talk to my friends that are just a few miles away :)

I have the most awesome friends and church community. They're the reason I stay here in the desert. After living here 13 years, I could say the only place I'd dislike more is one that snows as much as we have heat! I am where I want to be so I can't complain...too much ;)

Here are some pics of myself and my family-
