Joinin' the Virtual Party

Well, well, I just found out about the 5th annual Ultimate Blog Party 2011 which 5 Minutes for Mom is putting on. I thought I would join in on it, since it sounds like a fun, easy way to get more blog exposure & visit other blogs. (As well as possibly win some door prizes.)

So, here we go!

I've heard about 5 Minutes for Mom before, because of their co-blog, 5 Minutes for Special Needs. Tammy & Parker (her blog is down right now) are one of the contributors to the 5 Minutes for Special Needs blog. I've mentioned Tammy & Parker before in this post, because of Parker's other special needs that are not related to Down syndrome.

I think our blog would go under the category of "Specialty Blogs." It's not exactly an everyday occurance to find a blog written by a girl who's in a family of 13, on a 44 acre ranch, with a little brother with Down syndrome and who has a load of food allergies/intolerances in her family!

This blog is written, just as the title explains to share what we have learned over the 6 years since O has been in our family. And since our journey with Down syndrome started.


Enjoy!

Stopping by from the UBP and finding this an interesting place to visit. My granddaughter is on the autism spectrum so your idea for this blog definitely interests me.
