Today's Feature from last week's blog hop: Tempting Thyme.

How cute is that name?
My quick fave three about her blog before I turn it over to Shaunna:
1. First, what an STRONG, INSPIRING woman Shaunna is. Check out her blog if you don't believe me!
2. I love that she has a diverse range of topics on her blog! Recipes, crafts, personal posts. It's all great!
3. The way she writes her posts. I fee like I'm listening to her talk in person, or at least that's how it seems to me :)

And now on to Shaunna!

I cannot believe Embracing Messy wants to feature little ole me! What a huge honor for this newbie blogger. Thank you Kelsey, I appreciate your warm welcome! My name is Shaunna, and I currently live in a small college town {Oxford, OH}…I wonder if Kelsey realizes we are a hop, skip and a jump from each other? Another secret, these past few years I have truly embraced my messy!!! We are kindred spirits, LOL. I am over at Tempting Thyme, a blog that is definitely in the infant stages, gearing up to be a toddler! Still learning the ropes, but having a blast meeting ‘like-minded’ people and yakking about it.

I am a 44 year old, with 2 fabulous (most of the time) teenage boys and a wonderful husband who puts up with all of the chaos that I create. Being a 3 ½ year cancer survivor, I started Tempting Thyme to document my appreciation for life and the truly amazing chance we have here on Earth. Everyday is a gift from God, that needs to be relished and realized for the blessing that it is. I also wanted a place to store all of my favorite recipes, decorating and house projects and what better place to house them all but a blog? Even though I work full-time, and am gone most weekends cheering my boys on in their hockey and baseball games, I do try to carve out some ‘me’ time. Some women consider pampering to involve mani/pedi’s, shopping or massages. My idea of pampering is trying to balance a paint brush in one hand, with a cookie sheet and drill in the other, deciding which to tackle first!

Thanks again to Kelsey, and Embracing Messy, for giving us the opportunity to get acquainted! I hope you get a chance to head on over to Tempting Thyme, my door is always open…..kick back, relax with a cup of java or vino and stay awhile………
