Ultimate Blog Party 2011

For the first time ever I am joining the fabulous women over at 5 Minutes for Mom as they host their legendry Ultimate Blog Party!  A chance to virtually party with bloggers from all over from the comfort of our very own homes. (and I don’t have to get my roots touched up first)

If it’s your first time here, welcome! Thanks so much for stopping by.  Here’s a little bit about me.  IMG_5724 

I’m Canadian , yes, that is me wearing a “tuque”.  You must embrace hats in the winter in Canada.  I’ve been happily married for almost 15 years and am the proud Mama to two amazing girls.  I started my blog in late 2009 because I needed a place to vent about what was really going on behind the closed and often competitive doors of the suburbs. Too often Mama’s feel the pressure to be the “perfect wife” and the “perfect Mama” when reality is there is no such thing!

At How To Survive Life In The Suburbs I take a quirky look at how a real Mama survives the trials and tribulations of real life. The good, the bad, the sad and often the very humorous.  I fess up to some of my most embarrassing moments, um like the time I nearly sent a naughty picture out into the world, I make confessions about what I really do during a day, and curse the scales just like every other Mama in the world.  I throw in a couple of giveaways to take the pressure off all that emoting and over sharing. 

I truly hope you will follow along, and think about joining me on my facebook fanpage and over on twitter where I tweet as SassyModernMom!

None of us are perfect, and there is comfort in that knowledge and in taking this journey together!

    4. Hey ModernMom. Found you at the 5 Minutes for Mom Facebook group, and meandered over to say ahoy. Nice place you have here! I will definitely be back, and will be linking so I can keep up. Please come and visit Not Quite Dead Yet when you have an hour or so to spare. 🙂 And leave a hello somewhere!

    7. you party animal…of course you are in Canada where M.N. has forgotten to take a peek at the calendar (give her a shove in a snowbank, I am coming up in 3 weeks)

      Def worth reading ladies (and gentlemen)! Funny girl our ModernMom 😉

    10. Steph, it’s amazing how you’ve grown this blog in such a relatively short time–I’m a total underachiever compared to you! Plus, you’re absolutely gorgeous…

      XOXO

    11. I love reading your blog! And love the honesty of it. I’ve been noticing a lot lately that in real life friends are not that honest therefore I play the same game with them and it’s so weird. This is why I love reading blogs of strong women that let us in to their REAL life and the blog world gets to stick together! 🙂 Hope you have an awesome day!

    12. Ah, so much snow!! when is our spring going to truly begin. Other than that, lovely photo, you are beautiful!

      P.s love reading your blog!
