Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!!
It’s Blog Party Week in Blogland! Welcome to my Party! Thanks for Visiting!!
Since this is a blog party, we need to kick this party off with the most important part: FOOD! Everyone loves food. Let’s have some! If you were here, I would cook some of these good (if I do say so myself) recipes for you:
An Evening with Friends Party Food
Game Night with Your Family Party Food
-
OR
-
Chili and Beer Bread
Saving the Best for Last, Dessert Party Food
Now that you are fat and happy, sit back, enjoy, and learn a little bit about my family, my blog, and me.
My college sweetheart and I were happily married 15 ½ years ago. We are still happy! I affectionately call my husband Mr. Right on this blog. He is the “right” man for me. Always has been. Always will be. He is often right about all sorts of trivia and useless useful information. He is politically right of center. He keeps God in the right place in his heart. While he is not technically right all the time, he is right most of the time and that is right for me.
We have boy girl twins (BusyBoy and GigglyGirl) who will be 5 in a few weeks. BusyBoy is all boy. He is always on the move, plays hard all day long, and is quite imaginative. Even though he is a rambunctious boy, he is also our “sweet baby boy” with a tender heart. GigglyGirl loves to talk and laugh and talk and talk and talk. She giggled when she heard I call her “GigglyGirl” on the blog. She loves her dolls, her art supplies, ballet, and princesses. She makes us laugh and our hearts smile.
In addition to my family, I love God. My father is a United Methodist minister. My parents taught me how to have a close relationship with God and I have done so my whole life.
I used to be a stay at home mom. Last year I transitioned into the role of work at home mom after my husband closed his company. I do political consulting and constituent services. I love to read but have yet to put any book reviews on my blog. I read an average of one book a week. While I do my best to keep up with the laundry, I really do not like it because it is a never ending Sisyphean Task. (Sisyphean, that’s one of those useless useful words Mr. Right taught me.) I hate this year’s flu and what it has done to my family and friends.
Ok, I hope these links give you a taste of who I am. Stick around for awhile. You can navigate JenuineJen by selecting a category, most popular post, and/or recent posts on the right. You can also learn more about me on my 100 Things about JenuineJen page. Oh, and if you have any recommendations for moving my blog to its own domain and redesigning blogs, I would love to hear your comments. Thanks!!
If you have made it to the end of this post, thank you again for visiting!! Leave a comment to let me know what you think. Be sure to leave a link to your blog so I can check it out as well.
Finally, be sure to check out all the other parties at 5 Minutes for Mom! It should be a fun-filled party week.

That potato casserole sounds delish! And your husband sounds a lot like mine…he’s my Mr. Right and he is usally always right. My husband also knows a lot of big words!

Howdy!
Your family sounds great and your blog looks like fun. I’m so glad I joined the party so that I could “meet” so many wonderful people! I’ll be back for more in-depth reading later!
I think your Mr. Right and my Mr. Right must be related. Always right for me and right about everything.

Hey! I’m from Atlanta, too. And I’m a Methodist minister’s daughter! I wonder if our fathers know each other?

Nice to meet you and thank you so much for having me.
My goodness…look at ALL this food!
I love your children’s blog names – I have them for my 4, as well – and I have a twin brother. We grew up to be best friends, although we weren’t always. Especially, as kids.
Enjoy the rest of your week!

Twin mommies, unite! My boy-girl twins will be six in late August. We held them back from kindergarten last fall, so this next year they will start school. And they are so excited! Our older son is a second grader who loves school, so I think he’s helped his siblings get pumped up about learning. Happy partying!

Happy Blog Party! I’m looking forward to reading more of your posts. Especially the recipes and the posts on organization. I’m not a mommy (yet) but I could definitely use some tips for getting myself a little more “together”. Hope you’ll stop by and say hello!

Party On,

Just visiting from the party, great blog you have. Hope you are meeting lots of nice people, I know I sure am. I’ll have to go have a closer look around your site while I’m here.
How exciting to have twins!!! Your very blessed.
32 CuriosityKiller // Mar 12, 2008 at 1:44 am
Wow, there’s so much food! GREAT party! Thanks for having me!! Enjoy rest of the party! Cheers!
33 MommyBrain // Mar 12, 2008 at 2:10 pm
I love meeting other twin mommies! Thanks for stopping by my blog. It’s so funny about the identical vs b/g twin ideas that are out there. I meet lots of people who assume my twins are boy/girl and all my friends with b/g twins are constantly asked if their identical. One day we all have to go through a store at the same time and see if it’s the same people who think b/g twins are identical and that identical twins are b/g!
