It's a Party!

It's a PARTY and we're all invited!

 

This is my first ever Blog Party! And I am thrilled to be a part of the Ultimate Blog Party 2012 (UBP) this year. It is once again sponsored and hosted  by the ladies at 5MinutesforMom.com.

Welcome to my blog! 

I am a new blogger so I am learning new things everyday. It is exciting to have an opportunity like this to meet other bloggers and to have a chance to visit all of your awesome blogs!

Let me introduce myself. I am K and the most important thing in my life is being the mother of 4 awesome guys! 

I have often been told that:

But my guys have shown me that Heaven is having them in my life everyday! I love being their Mom!

I also love my job!

I am a "Storytime Presenter" at my local library. It is one of the most rewarding jobs you can have ~ if you love children and books ~ and I most definitely love both!

I also love sharing creative ideas with the parents ~ so that they can help their child learn about the world around them and they can have fun together. I usually do this through Activities, Books, Crafts, and Snacks at my weekly storytimes. 

That is how my blog got its name: 

STORYTIME

ABC'S

As a mom of 4 very active young guys and a former preschool teacher, I learned very quickly how important it is to keep active little minds and little hands busy! And working in the Children's Department of a very busy Florida library, I have learned that children need to be introduced to books and to reading through exciting and engaging activities. 

Keeping those lessons in mind, this blog is a collection of all the FUN that the little ones and I have had over the years or will have in the coming months. I hope you will come back and look around often ~ especially if you have a young child in your life. 

There will be lots of learning and laughter and memory-making 

throughout this blog!
