Welcome to OneSmileyMonkey.com and thank you for stopping by! The 2013 Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes For Mom is happening and I’m super excited because this is my second time participating!
Hundreds of bloggers will be linking up and there will be multiple amazing prizes given away (ton of awesome prizes, including one from us at OneSmileyMonkey)! Be sure to join the party!
If this is your first visit, here is a bit more info about myself, my blog and what I do:
My name is Angela and I am the creator and write of OneSmileyMonkey. I’m a stay-at-home mommy and I spend my days with a little monkey named Aidaan. He is 2 1/2 and I am really enjoying this stage and his new found independence. Life is busy but fun and if you follow the blog you will get to learn a bit more about us.
Here I also feature and review the best family friendly products around, mommy tips, traveling tips, recipes and more. Check out the featured products page here to find links to all of the awesome products I have reviewed. And if you are feeling lucky check out the giveaways page here to see all of the open giveaways right now (including jewelry and an HP Printer!!)
Don’t forget to leave a comment with your blog’s link so I can visit you as well. You can also find me on Facebook or Twitter.
Thanks again for visiting and enjoy the blog party!!

Stopping by from the blog party. Love reading your posts. I am a follower.
Thank you for stopping by 🙂
Always cool to see what other bloggers are doing, even as a non-mother (or even a woman) who blogs in an entirely different industry, I see a lot of similarities… but your site seems a little more organized. Great work Angela!
So nice to meet you! Stopping in from UBP!
I am extremely impressed with your writing skills as well as with
the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or
did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one today.
Ahhh so cute! I have an Aidan (just 1 a) too and he was a monkey like yours for Halloween when he was 2!
Stopping by to say hi from the Ultimate Blog Party!
