Welcome BlogHopper 08'ers!

Welcome!! Let me introduce myself! I am Beckie, mommy to Michael, age 17, Danielle, age 5 and Jack-Jack, age 2. I am a homeschoolin' mom, I am a SpiralScouts Circle Leader, a lactivist, an intactivist, and general rabble rouser! I tend to blog about anything and evrything. I started a new blog just to cover out homeschool journey :)

I don't have any great party foods, but I can offer you a recipe that you can put together tonight for breakfast tomorrow when you're hung over and not up to cooking ;)

Hi! Nice to meet you! I have no idea what an inactivist is, I must admit. I'll have to look around your blog to see if I can find out.

My party post is here: http://forgetfulone.blogspot.com/2008/07/bloghop-08-party-post-and-giveaway.html
