Hi! I stopped by to read your intro for the natural parenting party. I'd love to be on the Amazing Race, too!
Hi! So glad to get to meet you! I, too am a chocophile and a Sears fan, and I have been meaning to try the Cherry Berry that recently opened up near our house. :)
It's so nice to meet you, even if it is in a rather unconventional way. I love that most every intro I have read so far mentions chocolate. I'm right there with you!
I just LOVE your blog name!! I love it when people admit they are "granola" :):) Looking forward to reading more posts and getting to know you in the blog party!!
Great to meet you! I love how you described your kids. Glad you don't have a fourth - he or she may have been "the criminal"!
nice to meet you through the blog party

Followed you from the blog party link up. Nice to "meet" you. : )
Hi there, It was lovely to read all about you. This blogging party was a great idea. Ive answered all the questions too over at http://rachel.probert.me.uk
I seem to be seeing a lot of "patience" as something people wish they had more of...perhaps we should have a Patient Party? :) Can't wait to read your future posts!
Visiting from the NP Blog Party, can't wait to read more!
Hiya, I popped over from the blog party - love your cop, lawyer and politician family!
And I too am seeing a lot of wishes for 'patience' up there!

@ Shannon - the name seemed to be a natural fit for me. No pun intended. I have a reputation as being crunchy and granola even within my family. It wasn't until I had kids of my own that I realized my mom was a bit of a hippy. I always that the hippy in in the family was my uncle, lol. I tell my husband that we are yippies - former yuppies that are now hippies.
@ Alcia - with my luck the fourth would have probally been the princess. But I like your thinking.
Nice to meet you! Stopping by from the party, and I am giggling at your words to describe your kids! :)
Hi there! Stopping by from the blog party! I too am loving the word you selected to describe your children. What an accomplished tribe you have! So nice to have found your blog!
