I am Going to the 2013 Ultimate Blog Party!

The Ultimate Blog Party is the place to go April 5-12th! It will be the ultimate place to party and meet new friends with no babysitter or plane tickets necessary. Come party with me!

What A Handful of Everything is All About:

My name is Krista Low. I am a Military Wife and I am the Mother of two fabulous boys. I graduated with a BA in Management and Human Resources from Eastern Washington University. I am active in Church, and I volunteer my time at my son's baseball league, at church, and with Cub Scouts. I substitute teach at a Preschool which I love, I love getting together with my Book Club ladies and that I am blessed to be a stay at home Mom.

I created this blog in the fall of 2012. I started because now that both of my boys are in school I felt the desire to do something productive with my time, but I still want to be able to stay at home and go on field trips with my kids and be home to send them to school and greet them when they get off the bus. I love making dinner and sitting around the table as a family and going to baseball practice or gymnastics or soccer with my boys. I love not working in the summer so we can go swimming and play outside together and make memories that will last a lifetime. So, I knew that whatever I decided to do as my career needed to be from home at least until my boys are out of the house. The great thing about my blog is that I get to test the waters and try lots of different things and see where my talents are. I love the comments I receive from my readers and visitors to let me know what you like too! Because of this blog, I feel like I have value; that I can be a positive influence in the world by offering a piece of myself to those who take the time to view it.

I am new to this fabulous Blogging Community but I am so excited to grow and learn more. Keep the comments coming!!! Since I have started Blogging I have grown so much more confident in myself and I have loved browsing and getting to know other Bloggers through various Social Media that I really hadn't participated in until now. I was missing out! I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in this Ultimate Blog Party and meet even more fabulous Bloggers. Join me there!

I'm looking forward to your guest post come Tuesday or when ever you can get it to me. Guess I should give people a topic and that way I wont have to blog on that topic that I have in mind b/c when I get mad like I am right or rather upset I tend to blog out of anger and I know I shouldnt do that. But where's the perfect place to blog when you're upset and just need to vent. It's like now I feel like I've lost my spunk. esp when it comes to blogging

p.s. What do you use to blog? just wondering due to how your comment thing looks. It's not like regular blogspot. Just wondering if it's word press and if it is...wondering if word press is private or can be protected

Simply Creating Home · 624 weeks ago

I really enjoyed reading about your blog and why you started it. It's wonderful that you are able to stay at home while your kids are young. I know that it was a blessing for our family for me to have the ability to stay home - definitely not something we've regretted! Congratulations on the start of your blog and your chance to explore all of your interests. It's definitely a great way to try new things, learn a lot in the process, and meet some wonderful people! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog - blessings to you!

Hi, I found you through UBP13. I'm kind of a newb to blogging, but I'm loving it so far. I'm an educator, former foster parent (for kids with emotional, physical, and mental disabilities) and adoptive dad of two kiddos with special needs. It's been great reaching out, talking to, and hopefully helping other families! My whole blog is all about learning to learn and helping families succeed using brain-based practices. Come check it out. I think you will like it!

Hopping over from UBP13. I homeschooled for 10 yrs, but now mine are all grown up. I also like to cook, craft & write.

You mentioned how you enjoy sitting around the dinner table...that's still one of my favorite times, enjoying conversation around a meal.

If you ever want some fun activities with your kids, stop by for our Oreo Moon Phases or our Lucky Charms Graph.
