The Ultimate Blog Party

You know I couldn't resist getting involved with the BLOG PARTY! 5 Minutes for Mom is Hosting the Ultimate Blog Party.

Ultimate Blog Party 2009

WARNING this is a little cut and paste from other posts.
Welcome to my blog. I am kind of weird, I swear a little (I will try to stay away from the F bomb, I swear), I use CAPS and bold and italic and large sized fonts way too often to spice up text and I will put ridiculous amounts of pictures of my children up in order to keep you coming back.

About the blog title Janana Bee, it is a play on my name. So while my real name is Janna my blog is called Janana. I know it's confusing, I dove into blogging headfirst without thinking about the possible confusion. Feel free to call me Janana or Janna. Bee is not my real last name, but rather a combination of my maiden name and married name and also a nickname.



A little bit about me: I honestly thought I was never cut out to be a Mom and Wife. Then I met Mr. Bee when I was 20. Somehow, even though I never saw marriage in my future, I became a wife two weeks after I turned 23, and a mother when I was 25. Drew was born in January of 2005 and Jacob in October of 2007.

My Boys!

We call Jacob Mr. Calamity and Drew The Drama King or Mr. Drama. The origins of the name Mr. Calamity are here and The Drama King are here.


So here I am, trudging through Mommyhood, working full-time and trying to be the best I can be everywhere, including bloggy land. I love and hate it all. (Don't we all? If you say you don't, you are lying!) This is my journey, told through my warped mind. You probably will think I'm funny or stupid. Or both, not sure on that one.

I also am running a blog carnival (is that what they are calling them these days?) for something called Friday Favorites. Friday Favorites are the things that got us through the week, big and small. I put up Mr. Linky every Friday so that you can link to your blog if you decide to do a Friday Favorites post. Last time it was really enjoyable for everyone who did it (either that or they lied to be nice). You can check out the Friday Favorites here and decide if you want to participate!

I have also lived in Mid-Michigan my whole life. If you are a Michigan blogger, please contact me!

  4. I'm coming over from Blog Stalkers Unite, asking for your help. I am in the running for a round trip airfare paid ticket to Connecticut, to meet a friend I became acquainted with through blogging. She is a super fun person and is holding this contest. I entered a funny story titled "Grapejuice Floaties, Now Marry Me." The person whose story receives the most votes will win a trip to meet this generous lady, whom I'm hoping to meet. The voting ends tonight I believe. I am ahead for now but there is a story coming up from behind out of nowhere and I would so, so, appreciate your help. Her blog is www.becausemomsaidso.blogspopt.com and the voting is on the sidebar on the right. "Grapejuice, Floaties" Just go there and cast a vote for me, please. Thanks so much-you're awesome! ♥

  6. Hi Janna, I was just popping by from the UBP. I love the use of large type and fonts. I'll have to try that. Two boys eh (that's the canadian side of me coming through), that must be a handful. I only have 1 son (my middle) and that can be tough.
    Cheers
