Ultimate Blog Party

Hi! If you're visiting from the 5 Minutes for Mom Ultimate Blog Party, I'm Shauna, and welcome to Shaunarumbling! Have a cookie (my Grandma B's famous waffle cookie recipe) and please introduce yourself in the comments. As always, comments from my regular visitors are welcome too.

For those who don't know me, here's a little more about my blog.

  • My kids amuse me and often say and do things that I don't expect. I like to document some of those times here, such as The Turkey Incident.

This photo sums up life at our house pretty well.


Sometimes things get a little wild.


  • I'm a Lostie and usually post a lot about that during the (much too short) LOST viewing season, either on my blog or on the blogs of others. If you have any good theories or observations about the show, let me know.

  • I love reading books, reviewing books, and participating in reading challenges, despite my reading mood swings that usually keep me from completing my lists without a lot of additions and deletions. Last year I hosted The Christy Challenge and interviewed Lisa Samson, Mary DeMuth, and Robin Jones Gunn. I plan to host this reading challenge, which features excellent Christian fiction and authors, again in a few months.

Have a great week!
