This week's "Fine Feathered Friend" and guest host is Carrie Ann at

My name is Carrie Ann and I'm a busy momma to five children.  I am a graduate of Florida Career College with a license to practice Esthetics. However, I am doing the stay-at-home-mom thing for now while my youngest is catching up to school age.  My hobbies include scrap-booking, reading, collecting books, crocheting, blogging, and spending quiet time with my family.  My husband, Chris, is a Staff Sergeant in the United States Army.  It is my hope with this blog to keep our families and friends who are extended all over this great nation of ours, up to date and feel a little bit closer to us while we are on our military journey.

Carrie Ann's blog is FULL of great ideas, and her posts are always seasoned with humor. There you'll find posts about recipes, crafts, and her family. I enjoy reading about how she, as a military wife and mom to five children, keeps it all together while having fun! I hope you'll drop in and follow her this week!

UPDATE: I've adjusted the way I find my Fine Feathered Friends.  Click here to find out how you can be next week's FFF! It's free and easy.
