It's Party time

So today is the start of the Blog party. Over at 5 minutes for Mom's the party is underway. I will share some about me and my blogs.
My Name is Auntie E, a 50+ lady with a hubby of 32 years,a 16 year old daughter and lots of Nephews and Nieces. In 2004 Critter came into our life and changed the way I viewed myself as an Auntie. My mother passed on to the other side from Cancer in 2008, that changed the way I viewed life. Starting blogging in January 2009, it helps me get through the days and now has become a great part of my life.
I Have several Blogs all on different subjects. One on my home life and family time together(At Home with Auntie E). That one invites you to share along and become a blogger family member. Now my family has decided to go green and get healthy at the same time. So Living Healthy with Auntie E was created. Where we can go green together and in the meantime get healthy. We love reading and going to the movies. Auntie E's Reviews has all the information as I see it. Gardening and outside activities are big here. Auntie E's Yard and Garden site is a place to see all the outside sights and what's going on in my yard. My newest one is Auntie E's On the Go. It is one that I post from my phone mostly, while out and about whether on Vacations and visiting local sites.
This Kitchen one was started because Dad and family wanted my recipes. After years of trying to get them to family, blogger was born. I found it easier to post them here. Earlier this year I changed the title to Auntie E's kitchen. That way I can invite all into my Kitchen and the going-ons here. The kitchen is the life of the home. Everyone love to be in a kitchen; talking, homework, crafting, cooking and just plain visiting while enjoying that cup of Coffee. I love Gadgets, cooking and sharing as well as learning new things. Come join me in my Kitchen.
