It's Party Time

It's Party Time!
Five Minutes for Mom is hosting The Ultimate Blog Party and this is my first time participating.

My name is Angelica and I am fairly new to the blogosphere.  I have been married for 7 years now to a very supportive man. With a blog of his own, HE was the one that set mine up, and I am so glad HE did. I finally started blogging last summer and have recently picked it up once again! I am hooked and cannot believe I have been missing out!
Funwithbella is mostly about my day to day adventures with motherhood and how I manage to have FUN with my daughter while balancing my career, family and friends!  It is a work in progress as I am still trying to find my focus and voice.
She has changed my life and I love her to pieces. She is a very observant 3 year old who is super smart and full of energy. She goes to preschool 3 mornings a week and is transitioning out of her nap, NO fun! She has a very vivid and wild imagination. Sometimes it's too much for me to handle. Most of our challenges are food related; she is picky as can be and is allergic to eggs and nuts.
One thing is for sure, Jelly Belly loves a party. So much that she talks about her birthday party almost every day, and it's not until September!! We must attend a lot of birthday parties or something because she has already begun to plan her 4th birthday party! Here we are at her last birthday!

I love being a mom but I am fortunate to also work part-time at an inner city elementary school, two days a week.  My fancy title is High School Transition Coordinator.  I promote a college education and teach kids about how to prepare for high school and college.  At work, I am currently in the process of awarding  college scholarships to some very lucky high school seniors and planning a big field trip to Arizona State University, where I worked before Jelly Belly was born.
At home, Jelly Belly keeps me busy.  She loves reading books and you can often find us at the bookstore or at our local library during story time.  FUN Books has a few of the books we have recently read.  She also participates in Ballet and Gymnastics classes. We are a busy family and love to expose her to different experiences and activities. I will soon have a more extensive list of FUN Things to DO, and hope this gives new moms some ideas of how to have FUN with their kids.
I have really been enjoying documenting about our daily life, good and bad days. I only wish I would have started sooner. I have been participating in Mommy and Me Monday hosted by Krystyn from Really, Are you Serious and a few Wordless Wednesdays. I am also attempting to start my own meme, Friendship Fridays!
I hope you spend some time on our blog and come back again and become a Follower! It will be FUN!

Happy Blogging! And it is so nice to "meet" you!
