Hey There! And Welcome to my Blog! If you are visiting for the first time thanks for stopping by! A little bit about me and my blog-- I am married to a sensitive new-age man. He is amazing and my best friend. We have 5 beautiful children who are 5 years and 3 mos from oldest to youngest so life can be crazy and wonderful and everything in between.
I started "The Grotto" because I wanted a place to be able to post the fun giveaways I found on blogs and as I was brainstorming blog names my husband suggested "Treasure Trove" and I instantly thought of Ariel's Grotto from The Little Mermaid. Ariel kept all her human treasures in her Grotto. So I thought my Grotto could be a place for all the treasures I find and want to share with you and remember for me. I post giveaways and product reviews and cool free things. And soon I will be doing a giveaway of my own! Woohoo! Stay tuned....
I would love to make new blogging friends! Please subscribe to my feed or follow my blog (on sidebar). You can also follow me on Twitter @bellabuttercup.
At the Ultimate Blog Party there are prizes to be won:
I am contributing a $20 Kohl's gift card to the party, because Kohl's is one of my favorite stores and I always get great deals there! It is #123 on the UBP list
Some that I would like to win are:
A Kajeet Phone from Kajeet
$50 Gift Card To Target From Agoosa
A Surprise Box Filled With Goodies ($50 value) from Monkey's Momma
