Attn. Regular readers: This is a sticky post that will remain at the top of my blog March 7th through 14th. All new posts and contests will appear below!!! Be sure to visit 5 Minutes for Mom for more information about this event!
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! I’m so glad you took a moment to stop by and visit! I’m very excited to be part of the party this year and hope to meet many new and exciting bloggers in the process!
My name is Shera and I’m the 30-something mom behind A Frog In My Soup. Why that name? Well, it just came to me one night and stuck! No I haven’t actually had any of the kiddos put a frog in my soup, but when you are mom to 6 boys ages 12, 9, 8, 4 & 2 year old twins you really live on the edge . . . wondering, waiting, expecting just about anything! Here’s a little welcome from the kids:
My Hubby and I have been married for 14 years and feel blessed to be raising our boys in the town he grew up in! We’re always trying to figure out creative ways to thrive in our teensy tiny 1050 square foot house though (thank goodness for beautiful property).
I started this blog as a way to continue journaling about my sons. After the twins were born I simply didn’t have time to scrapbook anymore but I didn’t want to lose those precious moments!!! Over time it became so much more though! The rebirth of my passion for writing and encouraging moms really show through many of the posts. It also presented a great way for me to journal my devotions. You’re very welcome to check out my Mommy Reality Check series as well as my Life With Boys series.
Now I am offering 2 new contests each week for my wonderful readers to enjoy and enter! I love being able to do this, not only to bless my readers, but also because it gets the word out about so many great products and work at home mom’s businesses! Contests are always listed at the top of my home page and in my left sidebar!
In all my spare time I am also a web designer and own www.SweetnSimpleDesign.com! I design exclusively for moms and wahms and LOVE doing it! My biggest product is Mom Blogs and I’d venture to say that’s because blogging is so near and dear to my heart. It definitely doesn’t hurt though that I believe that every mom’s blog should be a reflection of them, their personality and their family and no two blogs I create are the same. I also believe that it should be affordable!
I’m offering a fun door prize this week in celebration of the party your choice of a blog design (choose from my premades or a spin-off of a premade) from Sweet ‘n Simple Design or your choice of one of the following products from Snuggy Bugz: Deluxe Potty Seat, or Extend-A-Bib!!! If you are interested in winning one of these prizes please make sure you mention which you’d like in the comment you leave on this post!!!
Even if you don’t want to win a door prize, feel free to leave me a comment letting me know you’ve visited so that I can come and visit you as well! Blessings to all of you and I hope to see you again soon! Don’t forget to visit 5 Minutes for Mom and party hop some more to qualify to win some more great prizes (I personally am really REALLY hoping to win the Rocking Horse! I also like the Burt’s Bees, Lush and #18, #19, #8, #10 & a few others!).
6 boys….Wow!
Happy Weekend
This is a great party and I haven’t even had a chance to get on the 5minutes for mom site yet. Hope they fix their server soon.
I’ll have to have a peek around your blog a bit.
My kids are too old for those great prizes, so I hope they go to a mom who can really use them. I’m just here to say hi and join the par-tay! LOL!

and those extend a bibs looks fantastic.
Happy blog party!

I would love to be entered for the Potty Seat!
I would love the chance to win the potty seat. I need to start on this whole potty training thing with Andrew. This would be a great motivation.
Great party. If you get the chance stop by mine.
The slideshow was so sweet. I loved the music you put on it, too. All of your boys are so handsome and they look so happy!
It was great meeting you! Enjoy the party!
Stop by for a visit! http://www.merchantshipsblog.blogspot.com
I’d like to win the Deluxe Potty Seat.
dolls123 (at) gmail (dot) com
We are in a house a bit bigger than yours (1100 or 1200) with 3 kids, and we’ve been asked several times when we plan to move.
We’ve felt we’re supposed to stay until it’s payed off (oldest will be 12) and in the meantime learn contentment.
The outside is not (yet) much of a refuge here, because we’re a very “indoor” family. Too entertained w/o going outside.
At least, Mom and Dad are…
I also have 2 boys, one which will be potty-training soon, so I would love to win the Deluxe Potty Seat!!
I love your blog design – it’s so cute and YOU designed it!
I’d love to win either prize if I’m eligible.
Happy partying! Thanks and keep on rocking!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog for the party!
Blessings
I would love a new blog design or if that’s a “no go” that extenda bib looks pretty cool too.
See you again soon and have a great week of parties!
I love the design of this blog by the way. Pink, green, and lavendar is one of my favorite color combinations!
Thank you for being such a gracious hostess!
6 boys! All I can say is “WOW”!
I’d LOVE to win a blog design, but I’ll be back whether I win or not!
Have a great day!
I wanted to invite you over to my blog if you get a chance.
Happy blogging!
