Woo Hoo!! Ultimate Blog Party!!!! Welcome to my site! This is the best kind of party ever! I didn't even have to clean my house, get out of my pjs, put the dogs in the room, or stand in a hot kitchen cooking all day! Note to my regular readers: The Ultimate Blog Party is a way to introduce new readers to my blog and make new bloggy friends. Over the next week, there will be visitors making a stop here to say hi and see what Motherly Law is all about.
So, what is Motherly Law all about? Well, let me first introduce myself. I am an attorney, a wife and a mom to two young boys, two giant dogs and 3 aging cats. I am originally from Texas, but now live in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. I work from home as an independent contractor for a legal publishing company and just 6 weeks ago started this blog. What I strive to provide and hope you will find here is relevant, interesting and helpful information on legal issues that affect families, all from the perspective of a mom. So far, I have covered BPA Free laws, the importance of having a will, estate planning when you have a special needs child, bike helmet laws, and texting while driving. I have many, many more interesting topics on my list. I post 3 times a week: an article on the chosen topic on Monday, tips and Web sites pertaining to Monday's topic on Wednesday and a bit of Motherly Advice on Friday.
Now take a peek around and see if you find anything that interests you. Please take a minute to read my About page – you will find the link located on the top, right side of the blog – to find out more about me. Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention, my almost 4 year-old son, referred to as Darling 1 on this blog, takes all the photos for my posts. He is quite proud of this fact.
Lastly, if I was actually hosting a party in my home, I would for sure have chocolate (something I can't live without) and wine here for you. So, take a second to have a virtual piece of chocolate and glass of wine, red or white, your choice. So much better on the waistline! Enjoy! These virtual parties are great!
Before you go, please leave a comment, including your URL, so that I can stop by your place too. Thanks so much for coming. Please come back soon. Over and out…

Hello, fellow Midwesterner. My mom works for an attorney...always interested what's happening in the law world. My daughter would love to take all my blog photos! How fun. Stop by my party if you have the time. http://www.brimfulcuriosities.com/2010/04/ultimate-blog-party-2010.html

Hi, Anna! Thank you for stopping by over at Soup! I hope that your time in Sioux City was nice -- from what I hear, those dang Minnesotans think us Iowans are rude... Little do they know, but I was born at the Albert Lea Naval Hospital. I adore the twin cities and am jealous of all of the culture going on up there. Happy UBP!!

An attorney, a mom, and a blogger? Do you sleep?!? :) So great to meet you. I think it's great your son takes the photos.

Hi Christianne
The answer is not much - I go to bed VERY, VERY late and get up when my boys wake - which is not late enough for me! Love your site - I am now following you on Twitter, and I am going to put you on my Motherly Reads blogroll. Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Hey, Anna. Thanks for the chocolate and wine. ;) Dark chocolate and cab goes well together I hear. Have a great week! Oh, and thanks for dropping by from UBP10. Careful about including so many links in your comments. It got sequestered to my spam filter as a result. I rescued it though. All the best from Texas! http://adaddyblog.wordpress.com/

Found your blog through UBP and a search for "law" or "lawyers." :) I am an attorney - stay-at-home-mommy of 2 girls. I work part-time from home...well at least I try to. :)

Over from the UBP - and am so excited to see Darling 1's picture of cupcakes! Did he make them, too? A true Renaissance Man in the making! Great idea for a blog - it sounds like you have a lot to offer.
