Spring is finally here! Today the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and spring flowers are starting to show their faces!
And when it’s Spring, it’s time for the Ultimate Blog Party at 5 Minutes for Mom!
I’ve met so many bloggers through the Ultimate Blog Parties in the past, and I’m looking forward to meeting even more this year! Discovering new blogs to read is always so much fun!
On my blog, I write about my life as a mom after breast cancer. I was only 27 when I was diagnosed with cancer. Now I’m the mom of two little girls who are truly the light of my life! As an older mom and breast cancer survivor, it is my wish that my blog somehow inspires those who also face challenges to have hope about the life that is ahead of them.
While I do have some tear-jerker stories on my blog, I mostly write about ordinary things that make life worth living! Lately I’ve also been making some vlogs. Here’s one I made with some bloopers. I was trying to learn the Cup Song!
Be sure to introduce yourself in the comments below if you are stopping by for the UBP!
I remember doing that cup game when I was younger…I wonder if I could still keep up the rhythm now. 🙂 Great job!
I found you through the Ultimate Blog Party.
Oh, I'm sure you would pick it up again! It's like riding a bike!

We are just starting to have our daffodils come up — those spring flowers are one of my favorite parts of this time of year! (And the UBP is another!) 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful time at the party this year!!

I found you on UBP 2013. I'm so excited for the Spring. Our weather this week was cold and I'm just tired of it.
I know what you mean! Today it was in the 40's again. I'm ready for some warm weather!

Hi Ginny! Great to connect via the Blog Party =) You're much braver than me by doing some vloggin =)
Vlogging is intimidating, but the more vlogs I make, the easier it is!
My recent post NOT What You Think About in Spring
How inspiring you are to overcome cancer at such a young age. It certainly must give you a different perspective on motherhood and life in general. I was diagnosed with a chronic illness at 27 and it's certainly changed my perspective on motherhood and my effort to focus on my small victories when things can get hard and frustrating. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Hope you'll stop by my blog for a visit.

You're braver than I am I would never even try that not that I had ever even heard of it. But it was nice seeing you and your girls. Have a nice week.
Thanks! I did it for a vlogging prompt, and the prompts help me make videos I never would think of doing on my own. Thanks for stopping by!

My recent post Its FRIDAY!!
Hi, Ginny!
I finally made it over here. I was trying to comment on new (to me) blogs first before commenting on my old favorites. I've been spending a lot more time on FB, Twitter, and Google+ this time around as well. I'm really behind on my commenting in general , but I HAVE been reading. I saw your cup song when you posted it a few weeks (?) ago. I thought you did great, but of course I loved the outtakes! And I love that you used a sippy cup 🙂 Looking forward to the new Google+ community.
P.S. Did you ever reach your goal for comments during UBP last year?
My recent post Thank you, Mister Postman!
Wow, you remember that? I think I got up to 80 or so…I know I didn't make it to 100! I didn't comments on nearly enough blogs this year…oh, well, the linky will be up forever, right? I'm so glad you're part of our Google+ community!

I’m stopping by from the UBP13. I hope you stop by our party for a slice of warm banana bread and cold milk.
