Introducing: Me

Ultimate Blog Party 2010

Well, hello there!

I am Melissa, aka Multi Tasking Mama.

That is me (with the glasses) and my friend, Jessie, meeting MckMama at Blissdom. (she is so sweet and genuine in person!! just like on her blog)

I have been blogging since June ’08.  Blogging has been such a blessing in my life.  It combines my passion for writing and sharing my testimony with the benefit of being part of an awesome community, which is what this Ultimate Blog Party is all about!

I am the mama to three teen/tween boys and wife to an incredibly patient guy.  If you stick around this site you will hear a lot about the nightmare challenges that parenting adolescents can present.  In fact, I started to just devote one day a week to it and you can link up to Teen/Tween Thursday here.

Matt (12), Mike and Jared (13)

Mike and Jason (17)

I also have the sweetest fur babies ever.

Baby is fourteen, a Heinz 57 and living with cancer =(

Miles is my five year old chihuahua and Chloe is our 1 year old mini schnauzer.  They might love their daddy just a little bit *wink*

Thank you so much for dropping by!  I am excited to meet as many of you as possible this week!  You can also find me on my professional organizing blog, Facebook and Twitter.

And no party is complete without door prizes, right?  Here are the ones I would be thrilled to win (although they all look awesome!)

    Aww! I'm a fur-baby mama too! I love animals! You have been blessed with boys lol…I'm not sure I could handle that much testosterone in a house with one lone female! ;-) Blogging has been a blessing in my life as well–and I'm so glad to have found you!

    All boys!! I'm so glad I've gotten to read more about the families behind the blogs. Thanks for sharing yours, even the fur babies.

    I'm still giggling at the Heinz 57.

  • http://www.multitaskingmama.com/ Melissa

    LOL, thanks Kristin!

    Stopping by. I'm not a pet person, but I love how relaxed your husband and dogs are in the photo. Your dogs must have a very calming influence. Some friends of ours take their dog to the hospital to visit sick people. I can imagine that dogs would love to be petted.

  • http://www.multitaskingmama.com/ Melissa

    I used to work with the elderly, Jill and you are right, animals are a very
    calming influence on older people.
