The Ultimate Blog Party 2009 & Giveaway
If you’re visiting via 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party, you’re in the right place. So please come in (don’t forget to leave your shoes at the door . . . and no trading up when you leave) and make yourself at home. Please excuse the condition of my home. Ever since the morning sickness has kicked in, housework is pretty much last on my priority list.
As you’ve probably already guessed, I was born and raised on the island of Oahu in the beautiful state of Hawaii. I’ve been married for 8 years and have two wonderful daughters – Girlie Girl age 7 & Baby Bug age 3. We also have another one on the way with a due date of Halloween! Ahhh, our own little goblin. I’m currently on maternity leave from my job as a flight attendant. It’s the best job in the world and I truly miss it.
Here at An Island Life, you’ll find me rambling about my daily life in paradise as well as offering some great giveaways from some very generous sponsors. It’s also the home of the popular Aloha Friday Meme where we’re always looking for new friends to join us.
So while you’re here, take a look around . . . I don’t mind. Just stay away from my danger zone closets – you’ll never know what may fall out. ;-p
It’s currently in the upper 70′s so enjoy the sunshine while you’re here. And don’t forget to sign the guest book (Mr. Linky) before you leave. I’ll be giving away a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts to 3 lucky visitors! Open to everyone world-wide!
Hope to see you around again soon!
Prizes I’m hoping to win: #58 Stand Up Mixer, #19 $50 to Target, #15 ChicBuds. I’d also love to win #21 $50 Target, #22 $50 Target, #26 $30 Target, #41 Photo Tile Necklace, #50 Paperlicious, #82 Personalized Announcements, USC #15 $20 Amazon, USC #56 $25 Target, USC #12 Boon Prize Pack. *crossing fingers*

Greetings from California to someone in the happiest place on EARTH! And NO, I don’t agree that it’s Disneyland. It’s DEFINITELY Hawaii. Wish we were there. Stayed a month a Kaua’i several years ago and we’re still not over it. AHHHHHHHHHHH.
Your girls are darling and I just LOVE your blog. Makes me feel like I’m on vacation.
I’m a mom of two teens and a humor writer. Drop by anytime and hang out with a crazy bunch. Mahalo and Aloha!
K, it sounds beautiful in your state right now. We are not even at 50 degrees here in OH. We’ll get there, tho!
Hello from chilly Canada (though it is getting a little warmer). Just hoping around the UBP. I’m glad I hopped over here. Thanks for the sunshine.
Cheers,

Stopping by from the UBP! You know I subscribe to you
Wow what a cool looking blog you have! I’m doing some blog hopping and thought I would just drop in to wish you a happy UBP!
I’m jealous! I’d love to see Hawaii once before I die. It looks beautiful. Congrats on the Pregnancy. Your girls look beautiful. Have a happy Blog Party!
Even looking at your site makes me relax like I was at the beach! I’ve been to Hawaii 4 times and I look forward to returning sometime soon. Blessings to you and your family.
A party at the beach…my favorite! I am hoping when our boys get older we will be able to do a stopover in Hawaii on our way to Australia. My goal is island (or at least beach) life one day. You are a lucky lady! Happy partying!
Just blog hopping in through the party link list.
Stop in on my party if you’ve got a minute!
Love the party!
