I know what I said about this blog bein'

someone said *party* and... being such an
extrovert, I couldn't resist the invitation.
If ya fancy a boogie and wanna join
The Ultimate Blog Party too..
just click the party-link on the sidebar...
*drum roll*
and now for the intro's:
I'm Kate !!!
*three air kisses*
I love my gorgeous Hubby.
My kids are D17, R13, J11, S9, M5...
yep, four lads and a girlie-girl (that's the five kiwis).
We make our home in The Sunny Bay of Plenty,
in New Zealand.
I love to create stuff, make jewellery, hang with friends, go to the beach, drink fine wine and eat
good food... i have a love affair with all things french, and espressos, and my three youngest boys teach me at home, lol. I also love to party.
But that's not all.... the rest is blogged somewhere here... it's our beautiful life.
I'm lookin' forward to meeting you and yours !!!!!

Hi Kate (shaking hand in the air), nice to meet you and your family. I think it is awesome that you make jewellery. I only did once piece thus far in my life... I love the beach (my favorite place on earth), but live currently in the desert. I guess your kiddos keep you on your toes :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day...

Happy Partying! I'm glad to meet you and thanks for having me. I'm bookmarking your site so I can come back and visit you when there's more time to sit and visit. :-) Now, it's off to do some more party hopping... have a great one and come by to see me.
ReplyDeleteHi from one kiwi to another
ReplyDeleteI live in the lovely Hawkes Bay
I really love the walks on the beach with the hubby. I've been lucky to live on both sides of the US.
ReplyDeleteIt's great meeting you. Happy Partying.
Hi from the party pooper.
ReplyDeleteMothers should be partying quietly: remember, "if grown ups like it it must be nice".
We don't want the kiddos kicking their heals up too high do we !
Making the party rounds. Have a great party week!
ReplyDeleteSign me up for the Sunny Bay of Plenty. Especially if there is good food, good wine, and a good espresso.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun this party is! Thanks for your hospitality, and if you get a chance to stop by my corner of this celebration, I'll have a cup of virtual coffee waiting for you.

Did you start having kids when you were 8? You look way too young to have a 17 year old. Have a great party!
ReplyDeleteHello from the blog party! I bet we'd get along smashingly! I loved learning from my kids, all of whom are very science minded. I don't like the mess of the experiments, but they sure had fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat party. Thanks for the fun atmosphere.
