Hello. Welcome to my lame Blog Hop ’10 party post

Oh, yeah. I’m all about the honestly over here in my humble spot on the web.

If you are new here. . . WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?!?!?

Seriously. . . .

Welcome to my thoughts broadcast to paperbridges.net, a place where I ramble on about (mostly) books, (sometimes) homeschooling and the (occasional) post about this journey of motherhood. Sometimes I may even write a post that hits all those marks (I am very talented in that way.)

I have four children, ages 12, 10, 8 and 5. One husband. All of us in New Jersey.

I spend far too much time on Twitter.

I tolerate Facebook.

I like coffee.

What else?

Ummm.

I might have a bit of a sarcastic streak that comes out every now and then. Not you could tell. *ahem*

Thanks for visiting. Leave me a comment, so I can come have a look-see at your blog. Thanks to Robin-girl for hosting.

I win!

Isn’t she sweet? Meghan has bestowed a lovely award to my humble, little space of the Interwebs. Thanks, Meghan! Now it’s my turn. I answer the questions and pass the award on to other bloggers. The questions, with my answers, are:

What is one thing we don’t know about you? Did you know I can juggle, love spicy food, hate Lima beans, have an older brother and younger sister? (Aren’t I fascinating!)

If you were able to go anywhere today, where would it be? International: Ireland; State-side: Seattle, WA

What is your mission statement for your blog or the reason behind your blogging? The purpose of paperbridges.net is to point you to  good books, warn you of the less than stellar ones and to encourage the homeschooler freaks free spirits (especially you of the unschooling/super-relaxed mindset. I want to lift you guys up to do Great Things.)

What is your favorite trait about yourself? I am not afraid to try new things.

What is your Twitter handle or Facebook page? I actually have two Twitter accounts. Most of you follow me as @monicabrand. Now I have an account for all my book related tweets as @PaperBridges. If you want to hear about my kids, homeschooling and what I had for breakfast, follow monicabrand. Follow @PaperBridges if you could care less about the little details of life. Or follow me both at both accounts, I’m trying not to give the same tweet twice.

I’m not as active on Facebook, but I will be your friend. Let me know in the invitation that you know my from my blog. My account is http://facebook.com/monica.brand

I pass the award and questions on to An UnTraditional Home Sparking Adventures, Growing Urban Wildflowers, The Path Less Taken, Almost Unschoolers, and Adventures in Unschooling (Girls, I hope you all play along; I’d like to see how YOU answer the questions).

Readers, if you don’t know their blogs, please take a moment to go visit with a nice comment.
