Come on in — the ULTIMATE BLOG PARTY 2011 is HERE!
Welcome! You have made it to the right place — this is the place to party April 1 through April 8 for the Ultimate Blog Party 2011.
We are Janice and Susan, the twin bloggers behind 5 Minutes for Mom and we are so excited you are joining us for our FIFTH annual Ultimate Blog Party!
The Ultimate Blog Party is just that — the ultimate place to party and meet new friends, (but no babysitters, airplanes, or tickets necessary!)
If you are new to the UBP and you are wondering what is going on…here is a quick explanation of how to party virtually — blogger style!
Yes — it really is quite simple! Write a party post on your site, sharing a bit of what you and your site are all about, and then add the URL of that party post to the applicable linky list below.
Then start partying! Blog hop through the linky lists, leaving comments and making friends as you go!
Prizes!
Oh and don’t forget to enter for the prizes! THIS YEAR we are handling prizes DIFFERENTLY…
To enter to win the Prizes on the Prize Page you must fill out a PRIZE ENTRY FORM. You can submit it any time before midnight Friday April 8th. So take your time and browse the prize listings, because in your entry form you will have the chance to indicate your top prize choices from the incredible Ultimate Blog Party 2011 Prize Pool!
We will ALSO do separate random draws for a $100 Visa Gift Card from our Featured Prize Sponsors for each of the Linky Lists and for two $100 Land’s End Gift Cards drawn from the Comments section.
Our Kids Have the Party Started…
It is a tradition for us to throw an Ultimate Blog Party with our kids every year. In fact, as February rolls around, our kids start asking us when we are having our Ultimate Blog Party. They love the chance to dress up, jump on the furniture, and eat cupcakes, all in the name of blogging! So, of course, we had to party!!!
It is so fun to watch our kids grow up over the last five years with our UBP party videos! Here are the UBP party posts from the last four years:
UBP 2007
UBP 2008
UBP 2009
UBP 2010
What 5 Minutes for Mom is all About…
It is always a little difficult to explain 5 Minutes for Mom. It is a bit of a hybrid of a site. It is our personal site, infused by our lives as moms, bloggers, and business owners, but it is also about more than us… it’s about YOU! It is about the Bringing Moms Together through the incredible power of the online mom community.
We are here to inspire, support, connect, encourage, empower, and entertain you. And we don’t do it alone — we have a great group of writers, editors, and guest contributors. In fact, if you are interested, you can find information here about joining our team and we have a form for guest post submissions.
There’s Even More Partying This Year…
The Ultimate Blog Party LIVE
This year, we will have two LIVE interactive UBP11 Events:
The Ultimate Blog Party LIVE — 9-11pm EST, Thursday, April 7th, 2011
The UBP LIVE will be a video simulcast on MomTV and 5 Minutes for Mom where Susan and I chat via web cam and text chatting with YOU! We will have a few TOP bloggers around the country that we will live stream in during the UBP LIVE as we talk about hot blogging topics!
Twitter Live Event on Monday night April 4th
The #UBP11 on Twitter — 9-10:30pm Eastern, Monday, April 4th, 2011
This will be an hour and a half dedicated to getting to know each other on Twitter with questions about blogging, social media and YOU! We will host a special Twitter Handle RSVP for this event so you can find and follow the other participants easily. Check back for that post this weekend.
There will be tons of virtual partying going on this week and it all ENDS — 11:59pm Eastern, April 8, 2010. (Well, the link lists will live on forever and you can keep blog hopping for weeks and months to come… but the ‘official’ party will be over.)
Entries for the fabulous prizes close at 11:59pm Eastern, April 8, 2011. And then we will begin trying to draw ALL those winners! Please have patience!
Now that the party has started…
- If you have a blog, publish a “party post” on your site. (You may want to prepare this post ahead of time, so that you’re ready to link-up as soon as the party starts.)
- Add your blog url AND/OR your facebook link AND/OR your twitter link to the appropriate Linky that WILL BE on this very post.
- Visit tons of blogs, facebook pages and follow new twitter friends from the Linky.
And remember to follow @5minutesformom and watch hashtag #UBP11 on Twitter.
We will open comments on this post when the party starts on April 1st.
Remember to post an Ultimate Blog Party badge on your site and invite everyone to party with you!

So happy to be partying with you ladies again this year. Last year my blog was brand new and I met so many wonderful people.

Heading to bed- what a night!
Thanks for doing all this! SO MUCH FUN! I look forward to this every year!
SO excited! I’ve been counting down the days to party time!
I’m new at this – it looks fun!! Hope I’m doing it right. I look forward to meeting new bloggers and connecting.

I have never done a blog party before, but thanks for hosting, I’m looking forward to this week.
me too, this is also my first blog party. I can’t wait to see what the week brings
Oh my gosh, I’m an idiot. I linked my entry back to 5m4m! Is there any way you could change my link in the specialty blogs? It should go here: http://www.princesshairstyles.com/2010/03/there-is-week-long-blog-party-going-on.html Sorry!!
Wow, amazing how many bloggers are here!!
YAY! SO much fun!
Woot! Super excited! This is my second year participating and I am looking forward to ‘meeting’ some new favorite blogs!!

So excited to be participating in my first Ultimate Blog Party. Great times ahead!!
A lot to celebrate!! My first Blog Party and my 1 month blog anniversary!! WOOHOO!!
Thanks for throwing this awesome party. Glad it’s kid friendly because that seems to be all I can do lately! I’m so excited to participate for my 2nd year. You guys know how to rock it!! I’m already getting ideas for next year.
Aghhh, Help! I can’t get my twitter account to link up! This is the URL http://twitter.com/#!/CrazyJayzPlace
I’m looking forward to all the networking. Party on!
I accidentally put myself on giveaway blogs before realizing I needed to be under specialty. You can delete me under giveaways (entry #180) if you want.
What a great party! Thanks for hosting – and you two look fabulous in the video.
This is great! I’m having a ball and I just got started…
I LOVE surfing the Ultimate Blog Party every year! Thank you ladies for coordinating and hosting this wonderful event for our Blogging Community!!
Oh my goodness!!! This is so much fun! I’ve linked up, and done my post, AND I’m participating in the giveaway. Market bag and book!
Wow! Looks like this is shaping up to be a way bigger and better party than last year (which was already awesome!)
Thanks for hosting this incredible party! I’m your newest follower. I’m sure that won’t last long.
You are the most popular blog on the planet right now!
Thanks for all your hardwork on UBP2011, I am happy to party with you all.
Thanks so much for hosting, this is fab!
Party TIME!! Yahhooooo x 2
I don’t know how I did this twice but I linked in the wrong category. I should not be under the giveaway category or the specialty category. Maybe it’s from trying to do this one handed with a baby in my lap… please advise how to delete my entries.
Thanks for coordinating the party!
Joining in for my fourth year. Thank you Susan and Janice for all you do for the blogging community. Really enjoyed the video with the kids. They are growing up so fast!
Yeah.. lets party!!
Perfect timing! I just launched our Massachusetts Moms And More Website today! Looking forward to meeting a lot of bloggers!
Whoo Hoo!!!!! It’s party time!
I’m so grateful for you Janice and Susan! I have to laugh, because it took me forever to figure out how all this works. I think I know a little more than I did 1 hour ago (or more)! I look forward to the party and meeting others who may be just like me!!
Thanks so much for hosting this blog party!
YAY!! I made it! Got my party post up (at almost 2am LOL) and I’m off to bed… gotta work at 8am! I will be BACK again in the morning!! Thanks so much for hosting another awesome UBP!!
I must say that I am glad that you have planned for this to be a week long event. There are so many nice websites and blogs out here in blog-land. I don’t want to miss a moment, but I will need to sleep. Thanks for great planning!

I’m so lovin’ this blog party. Thanks Barbie Swihart for turning me onto this! I’ll finally be able to read other moms blogs and get people to read my own because, in the famous words of Dr. House, “I’m that good!” Tootles! e

Hi there!
I am new to parties!
Looks fun!
OOOPs! I totally didn’t read in my rush to get my links up and signed up for more than one category. Do you guys have a delete function?
You’re not the only one, Rachel. Thankfully. I don’t feel so alone in my mess up now. lol It was my exuberance that led me to it. (Yes, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. lol)
I don’t think there’s a delete option, though…
you can email the girls at 5minutesformom@gmail.com with Entry in the subject and they can take you off the other lists!
Glad to be back this year participating in this fun event. <3
Thank you for putting this together each year. This is my second year participating and it looks to be a blast!!

Ladies, Thanks so much for hosting! I apologize for my over zealousness (if that’s even a word!) that i added to several lists because I didn’t read the instructions first! I can’t wait to see all the other blogs this weekend – I’m getting lots of “mommy alone” time this weekend and all I want to do is catch up and meet new bloggers!
Thanks for hosting! Can’t wait to get the party started!!

What a great idea! I’ve been blogging on and off for several years, but I’ve somehow missed this until this year. Now I’m off to write my “party post” and joing the party!
Thanks, ladies!
I love UBP and look forward to it all year! I have found some great blogs that way!
Such a great idea! I’m not a mom but I play one a lot to my six year old nephew and my cat with spinal damage who’s been in a denim diaper for four years!! Does that count??
; )
I also donated a prize from my http://www.bohopets.com pet portraits and gifts for animal lovers site. I hope it got in in time!
Thanks!
Kristin
I am amazed at how many people are here so fast!! Great event Thank you!
Thanks for hosting this again this year!
I stayed up way too late last night blog hopping. {sigh}
So pleased to be a part of the party again this year!
I’m so excited! This is my first year and I’m trying to figure it all out!
I am so glad to party this year. I missed last year. I donated a $25 CVS gift card and not sure what I need to do now. Any help?
Thanks

Thanks for hosting this. You girls really know how to throw a bash!
Thanks so much for hosting this awesome party:)
I’m happy to join the fun this year. Can’t wait to meet everyone.
Thanks for hosting!! I’m excited to meet new blogs!
Thanks to the hostess(es) with the mostest! We love you girls and the community you create for us all!
xoxo
I’m so excited about the party!
I’m a Wife, Mother (of 2), Mother-in-law (of 1), and Grandma of 3…. I LOVE the Blog parties and being able to find new sites to follow! But I just think that the contests and giveaways have almost become an exercise in futility for myself (& the others like me – there ARE alot of us, believe it or not!!!) to even take the time to read, enter giveaways etc. WHY? Because you have geared EVERYTHING towards those that ‘Tweet’!!! Those of us who only subscribe, follow and connect w/Facebook don’t have a chance anymore………. just sayin’…… ;-((
Yay, it’s party time again! Stayed up just long enough last night to post my links, but gonna start trying to visit others now!
Yay!!! I did this last year and met some awesome new people
Hey Susan & Janice – I love my fellow Canadian mom bloggers! I joined the party late last year for my first time & had so much fun, I knew I had to do it again this year. I had lots of fun creating my party post this time and I’m looking forward to the new friends I’ll make.
Thanks again for hosting this & for all your hard work to create this space for us to party and get to know each other!
Blessings, Jacquie
Wow, I am new to blogging with a little over 3 1/2 months and seeing all these blogs blows my mind! I just hope I did everything correctly. I guess someone will let me know if I goofed? Can’t wait to see what this produces!
Thanks so much for this fun party! I love finding so many new blogs. My eyes are swimming with them. lol The prizes are awesome too.
I am super excited to join in the party again!!!
Ladies, I can’t imagine how hard you must be working to pull this off! It’s just amazing. Thanks for the fun and all the chances to win!
oops! I didn’t do a good job of reading the first time and I put my blog on more than one entry! How can I remove it?? Sorry
wow! lots of party goers! thanks for having such a great party and linky!
Janice and Susan,
Just came across your Party through some bloggy friends – how much fun! I am Marketing Mama and partner with http://www.famgrab.com, Atlanta’s best family focused deal site, now in 13 cities! Not only do we have super great deals just for families and give back 10% of our net proceeds to children/family related charities biweekly, but we also have an area on our site to promote Mom bloggers! Each two weeks we promote a new blogger, and they get an area of our site for their logo/link and also an area to post their tips/tricks/giveaways/whatever and we also give them exposure through our FB posts and daily emails to our subscriber base. We are thrilled to help out our mom friends get more exposure, and would also be thrilled to join your party! But where? Do we qualify anywhere?
All the best,
Cecilia Rowe
famgrab.com
Wow! I’m amazed and looking forward to discovering some new blogs!
What a great idea!! Glad to be participating this year!!! thanks ladies of 5 Minutes for Mom!!
So glad to be part of the party! I look forward to this every year!
Thanks so much for all your hard work putting this together. Looking forward to meeting new blogs!
Super excited to go blog hopping again this year
Picking a category was HARD, because I don’t know what my blog is or what I want it to be!
I am a Mom Blog without giveaways, but would LOVE to start doing some!!, I am Christian/Religious, but still have soo much to work on! and I would love to use my blog to promote my card making business…
looking forward to checking it all out this week!! thanks for hosting
This party is HUGE! Yay, you guys!

Linking up again this year! Thanks for hosting this awesome party! Question: I filled out the prize entry form and noticed it said that the Twitter handle was “required”. I don’t use twitter so will I be out of the running???
My second year joining the Ultimate Blog Party! I had so much fun last year! Can’t wait to get done with work today so I can have some fun this year!
Yay! I found a lot of great blogs from the UBP last year! I need to write my post and link up this weekend!
Thanks for hosting this! I hope I’m allowed to join with both my blogs (two diff categories). If I’m not, please let me know!
This should be very fun
I did not play last year so I am excited for hte next few days!
So impressed with your party! This will be my first time participating, thanks!
I love this Blog party. This is my first year and enjoying it already! I am having fun seeing other’s blogs…I hope you enjoy mine!
Wow! What a great party so far, and it is only the first day! Thanks for all that you do!
I’m looking forward to this week and meeting some fabulous new bloggers!
This is my first Ultimate Blog Party. Let’s get the party started!!!!!!!
I LOVE the UBP!!!
Last year was my first year to do it, and I had a blast.

So fun!
Thanks for hosting such an awesome party!
I love this idea! I wanted to let someone know I accidentally signed onto the wrong blog–the first one. Can you delete that link? I’m so sorry about that.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to meet other crafters and artists. This is wonderful!
Brand new to the blog, found you from The Blog Guidebook. Love this idea for the party! I’m definitely joining up =D
It’s great to see the kids’ party vids and see how much they’ve grown in the past few years!
Looking forward to another great party this year! I’m so impressed by how hard you work to make this bigger and better each time – you ROCK!

OMG when I signed up for this I had no Idea how crazy busy it would be. TY for the wonderful party
Thank you so much for hosting! I linked up relatively early for my time zone this morning and was amazed at how fast your linkys were filling up. This is a blast!
I am super excited to party again. I love a good party!!!
I hope you plan on leaving these linkies up….it’s gonna take me weeks to go through all these awesome blogs
LOVE THIS!
It’s so much fun! I think everyone should party like you guys!
Thanks for hosting this! I accidentally added my name to the first list… You can delete it if you’d like to! (I belong on the second list, and added my blog there after realizing my mistake!)
What a fantastic event! Thanks for all of the hard work to put it together.

i oopsied and clicked the link for product reviews and giveaways and put myself on that linky list.. sorry! i got to my real list and added myself there. Sorry!!
Oops, i didn’t mean to leave out your son in my last comment. He’s very handsome!
This sounds like fun! I’m doing it with 2 of my blogs
.
I am so excited I added all 3 of our blogs and my twitter account…
I cannot wait to link up for UBP11!!! I participated in this last year and had an absolute blast! Will be getting everything set tomorrow!! WooHoo!
Thanks for putting this together! I’m a first timer, but I’m starting to get the hang of it I think. Super fun!
I am happy to once again be participating in UBP and when the dust settles I will be counting down to the next one! WOOOO HOOOO!
Love the UBP! I think I’ve participated every year. There are so many great blogs that I will never get to them all! I like that blogs are separated by category. I think I finally got my twitter link to go up correctly, but I just can’t get the link to work properly. I’m copying and pasting from my profile page, but it doesn’t work, and when I try to type it in myself it doesn’t work either. I swear I’m not tech-tarded! LOL Hope everyone has fun!
Thanks for the great party. Like last year, I feel privileged to be in the DadBlogs category. I look forward to more participating Dads, but there will be great odds for all of us at winning the $100 Visa GC from @_Sarah_Campbell
This is awesome! I look forward to trying to visit each and everyone here!
Eeek! I think I put my blog on two different lists but I can’t find them now to delete one!! I’m so sorry. I’ll keep looking as I click on different blogs!! Love the UBP!!
Thank you so much for hosting this awesome party. This is my first year joining the party, and I am so excited.
Loving the party so far! Also would love to win a GC!
This is so exciting! Thanks for all of the great prizes to be won!

This is my first UBP!
I have a lot of reading to do
I’m already having a ton of fun. Can’t wait to keep reading more the rest of the week.

I finally realized I had to leave you guys a comment also so I came back and wanted to say Thanks for hosting such a great party with prizes to boot! This is my first one and I hope I did everything right. I did fill out the form and what prizes would be great but really I would love them all. Thank you so much for such a fantastic opportunity.
Mary@http://mmbearcupoftea.blogspot.com
All new to this – very excited and hope I can get online and working before the party ends!!!
My head is spinning! My hand can’t click fast enough from one blog to the next. Totally enjoying this PAR-TAY! Thanks for such a great idea : )
I’m new to the Blog Party this year and just linked up my blog…Thanks for hosting!!!!
Just came across you Blog Party. This is great! I’m following!
http://www.savvyshoppermom.blogspotcom
Joining in a little late but this is my first time here & it looks like lots of fun happening! Excited!
Ohhhh i love this time of year!! Can’t wait to meet new friends and possibly win a prize:)
Last year was my first year participating and I found a lot of new blogs and make some great friends, very happy that the 2011 UPB is here!!!
New to the party scene but I’m looking forward to making so many new friends and finding so many great blogs to follow! Thank you for hosting this!!
Thanks for hosting this! How awesome!
I’m taking part for the first time ever, so I’m kind of new and feeling my way through. Already found a few great blogs to follow.
Thank you for this incredible blog party and opportunity! I’m all linked up with your button on my party post. Also now following you and hope you’d like to follow back! Thanks again!
Thanks so beary much for organizing the Ultimate Blog Party 2011!
Thanks so much for all you do to make this such an awesome event! I can’t believe it’s already been a year since my 1st time participating!!
Wow, this is my third year participating although I missed one year in the middle. So I started in 2008… hard to believe as time goes by, but I’m so glad to know you gals!
I entered my link twice (business section) by accident. I hope someone can delete the first one, I thought I’d be able to delete it myself. The second one links properly to my UBP11 post. Oops! :-/ #87 & 90
This is so awesome! Thank you so much for hosting such a cool blog event! I’m glad to have finally found it!
Super excited to be joining the party!

I don’t have a blog..I do have a Facebook page and a new Twitter account. I’ve REALLY enjoyed checking out all these BLOGS, who knew!! I must say the dad blogs are very interesting. =)
I have never missed a 5MFM’s party! Ive been around since the very first one and I have loved watching it grow into such an awesome event!
I’m so excited to make new friends and find new blogs to follow~ WOOHOO
What an awesome event!
How cool is this? Just now hearing about you guys. Thanks for doing this year after year. Can’t wait to dive into all of these blogs!!!
WOW ! 2 crazy !
glad i heard of this just in the nick of time “)
i’m posted and partying! WELCOME to FHC ~
the kettle’s on…
ps-
i haven’t seen an email contact form but i have erred in entering once in the wrong category!
totally sorry, i hadn’t seen the separation… happy to correct if you’ll xplain how!
Thanks for throwing the party again this year! It is my second time joining in and it is always a load of fun. I hope to find many more great blogs this year. Thanks! @notimeMom
This looks awesome!
I am so excited about this!!!
First time here, I’m glad I found out about your fab party!!! Thanks for hosting.
Well, I hope I haven’t screwed things up…I have more than one blog, and I thought. I hope it was ok to add both of them. (Actually, I have three…so if it was ok to add two I might do a post for the third blog. I did make a totally separate blog entry post, because the blogs have a very different focus).
I have gotten so many new followers and fans! Love the UBP11!
This is my 3rd year partying and it’s always so much fun! Thanks for all your hard work putting it together.
I’m so excited. I love this event. I love finding new blogs and twitters to follow. Loved the video thanks for all that you do. thanks for the great party and for being awesome HOSTs
Accidentally posted my blog to the give aways and product review one instead of the non-giveaway one… oops! sorry… now my blog is on both…
Joining in the Party for the very first time…..yea!!!!! So excited! Thanks for hosting this!!
Wow, this is one monster list! How fun!! This is my first year blogging and my first time to any kind of a blog party. I’ve already met some awesome women and found some great new blogs through UBP11. Thanks so much for hosting this ginormous bloggy bash!!
I am new to blogging and to UBP…I’m so excited to be a part of it all! Thanks for doing this!
I stumbled upon your bog and I’m so happy I did, what fun!! I am new to the blogging world, actually just created my blog yesterday, but I already have 2 posts, so stop on by and check it out. Another post will be going up today about the Bubble blowers we made yesterday. Thanks for inviting me to the party
Year 4 for me!!! You girls rock!
Thanks for hosting this party! I’m excited to see some great blogs & meet some new friends!

Oops! Accidentally entered myself into the wrong category at first– I’m NOT a mom blog with giveaways, I’m a specialty blog….but I can’t figure out how to delete my link from the mom blog category! Sorry…. as you can tell, it’s my first time partying with you.

joining in the UBP11! Thanks for hosting it!
this is amazing!! thanks for hosting the UBP2011
My first time here. Can’t wait to add to my Google Reader!
This is my second Ultimate Blog Party, and I am so excited for it!
Thank you so much for hosting this. It looks like a lot of fun. So many really cool blogs to look at!
Looking forward to meeting other bloggers in my niche. Looks like a wonderful and very successful party!
The Linky lists to the first four categories are not loading today (Sat., Apr. 2).
Thanks so much for hosting… and as usual .. You NEVER disappoint.. (=
This weekend is C~R~A~Z~Y for us hopefully it won’t suppress the mood to party =0)
I am linking up to the party for the first time! I am so excited to meet new blogging friends and find new exciting blogs to read. Thanks for hosting!
I love this time of year. This is where it all started for me. This will be my 3rd party. My first party in 2009 was my first ever blog post. Thank you for doing this every year. I feel a little bit a part of you two because my social media life started thanks to you right here 2 years ago. I know I am going to have a great time again and will meet lots more wonderful people this year. Luv you guys, Karen
The image of those lovely, fruity drinks is making me want one. I wonder what a rooting around the pantry and fridge would produce… Thanks for hosting!
Hi – sorry, did not listen to your video first and put my blog into more than one category… (actually three times). Maybe you just delete two of them?! Thanks and sorry for messing up. Katja
I’m new to the Ultimate Blog Party. Looking forward to learning a lot!
Hello
This is all new to me, and it seems like a lot of fun! Can’t wait to get to know more blogging mama’s and participate in events like this! xo
Loving the UBP 11!! This is my first year and I’m so excited to be able to participate. Loving all the blogs I’m finding and all the love I’m getting from new followers!
Kari
Great party! Unfortunately, I added my link in the wrong section. Anyone know how I can delete it and add it in a different category?
Excited about UBP 2011! I just wish that more people would consider shipping to Hawaii. Such a let down to see a majority of the prizes only being sent to the “lower 48 states”. If shipping USPS first class or Priority it DOES NOT COST MORE to ship to Hawaii! I hope more people will reconsider next year. There are a lot of people here in Hawaii that would LOVE to do business with you! Everyone on both sides is missing out!
feeling the same way! e gift certificates are available for anywhere! and lets everyone party at the same level ~ too narrow thinking ? or just not aware that they could make better choices???
thx for bringing up something more of us are thinking “) …
InSpirit – thanks for commenting! I’m glad someone else noticed. While I am donating an item I am very limited in what I can enter to win! I think most don’t realize that shipping doesn’t cost more? Although I did have someone tell me that they only ship to the states (*newsflash* Hawaii is a state!) and someone else mentioned the hassle of filling out customs forms (*newsflash* Hawaii is a state! No customs forms needed!) Really, really hoping people will open their business to Hawaii! They will be happy that they did! Thanks again!
Cannot remember if I’ve already commented. Just wanted to say thanks for the party! I’m having a blast visiting new blogs.
This is my first year participating and I am already having a blast! I’m just worried I won’t actually get any homeschooling done next week. “Just a minute kids, mom’s partying again.”
Thanks for putting this together!
Thanks so much for hosting this awesome party! Looking forward to meeting some great new people:)
I want to thank @adelyn_stone who without her help I wouldn’t have known the prize page link was at the bottom of this page! Was searching everywhere for it and she totally linked me up!! Meeting some great people in my 2nd year attending.
It’s my first time attending the party – so excited!!!!
This looks like so much fun!
hello everyone I am so happy to be partying with you all. I am also honoured to announce on UBP that I am PREGNANT and today is one of my wedding anniversaries. This time last year I was blogging and contemplating about motherhood, now I am pregnant soon I can sign up on the MUMMY CLUB.
I would like to meet pregnant women and new moms. I like to learn, so please stop by and I will stop by your blog
!
Have a great Saturday and party hard at UBP:)!
Linking up again this year!! Thanks for hosting! I love all the pictures of everyone all dressed up!
FINALLY getting around to partying. Whew. Ready…..set…….go!!!!
Hi there! What an incredible site! I’ll have to get that post written up soon so that I can join the party!
Your new follower,

Already having a ball visiting party-goers
Have a fantastic weekend!!
There are so many wonderful prizes to choose from! Being fairly new to blogging, I hadn’t heard of this Blog Party. What a great way to get bloggers together!
Thank you so much for hosting this great party! I look forward to meeting fellow bloggers, tweeters, etc.

Just heard about this and am hoping to meet other great women!
This is my first time joining the Ultimate Blog Party – what a great idea! I love that I can hop around and find new interesting bloggers to follow, and hopefully get a few more followers for my new blogs at the same time!
And of course, prizes are always nice too!
Thanks so much for hosting this – and taking all the time to put it together.

I’m enjoying my second time participating in the Ultimate Blog Party! It’s such a great way to discover great new blogs and get excited about blogging all over again. Thanks!!!
Wow! This looks like fun. It will be my first year participating in the #UBP. Gotta go write my party post.
Great job putting this together! All the links, comments and general tech is mind boggling! I’m learning my way through all this on my first UBP!
I wanted to leave a note to say what a nice Blog Party you are hosting. I am enjoying my visit to your site!
FYI – I can’t link for the Facebook linky. My link is too long??? It’s fb/pages/playful-decor/ blah blah blah……it doesn’t work if I just do the regular facebook/playfuldecor.
What a great idea. Visited several blogs already and hope to check out more in the next days. Thanks for hostessing.
I linked in Specialty blogs.

HELP!!!! I accidentally entered my blog into the wrong category, and now Mr Linky won’t let me link into the correct category…which I believe would be Daily Life and Opinions (I accidentally linked into Mom Blogs with Product Giveaway.)
How can I delete my link from the wrong category and get into the right one?
This is such a great event and I’m so glad I found it! Thanks to everyone that is involved!
This has been a great blog party! Thanks for putting this together ladies and I can’t wait to meet more bloggers!
Just found your site. Im in blog reading heaven! I’m ready to blog hop! Thanks!
I was too new to the bloggy world last year to participate in the Party, but I’m glad to be here this year!
This will be my first blog party!
I always enjoy the UBP. Thank you so much for hosting and for doing such a great job with it!
@singalongmommy
Wow–no lack of participation here! How exciting!
Thanks so much for throwing another amazing party, Janice and Susan! I happen to be on vacation this week so I’m not getting to participate as much as I would have liked, but I’m still having an awesome time getting to know my visitors and checking out as many other parties as possible. Can’t wait for 2012!
Hi, thanks for the party! I accidentally entered my website incorrectly in the mom blogs product giveaway. Is there any way to change that? Thanks for your help!
thank you from a happy blog reader….got my drink and balloon and checking out the prizes.
Thanks for having such an awwesome party!! I didn’t realize what this would be like (I’m a newbie)!!
This is a great event. Thanks!
How fun! Joining in late, but I’m here!
This whole idea is incredible. So glad I happened upon it. I am going to be busy reading the incredible blogs all week. Thank you!
Hi! I’m so excited this is my first blog party ever! Not sure if I’m doing it right but I’m #404 on the Mom’s with Little Advertising. I notice a lot of new bloggers.. any chance of adding a new to blogging category in the future? I wasn’t even sure what category to put myself under as I just started in March. Well I’m off to blog hop. What fun! Thanks for putting this together:)
Thanx so much for the email reminder! I’m so excited to be a part of the party again and fingers crossed I win a fabulous prize this year.
Thanks for hosting such a great party and giveaway! Looking forward to meeting tons of new people!
Thanks for another great party ladies! I love the UBP!!!
Thanks Janice and Susan for hosting this great event!! I’m thrilled to be a part of your wonderful community!
Next year, begin with a medical warning . . . don’t have so much fun, read and comment on so many blogs . . . that you wake up with sore wrist the next day.
Fondly,
Glenda
Thank you so much for the chance to enter you great giveaway. Great party.
I’m hoping I get more following me on Twitter. @joliejackie
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity to meet other moms AND have the chance to win great prizes!
Awesome! 
I can’t believe UBP is already here. I’m so thankful it is because I’ve been going through some life changes and need to recalibrate the goals of my blog to better match. Thank you for the opportunity to meet new friends, too!
This is my second year partipating in the UPB, and I’m so glad I discovered it. It is an excellent to find new “friends” and be inspired!

Hi Everyone,
I am late to the party (just found out about it) but am SO excited to be here!
My name is Ramona and I blog at Create With Joy. This is my first year participating. I am really excited to have the opportunity to connect with so many other bloggers – I listed myself under Specialty Blogs (414) but really, there were several categories that applied!
This looks like a fabulous site and I’m looking forward to exploring it and the sister sites as well. Thanks for hosting and I’ll be marking my calendar for 2012!

Thanks for hosting this! Enjoying all the links and love!!

I have had a blast this week!! Thanks for doing this!!!
What a wonderful week it has been so many blogs to visit and I have just touched the surface!
Thank you so much for this opportunity to meet other new bloggers. This has been a great party!
So many awesome blogs to visit this year! I’m glad you keep these linky lists up, because it’s going to take me quite awhile to get through them all
What an incredible party! Janice and Susan….y’all rock!
You guys are simply amazing, putting this all together and truly connecting so many bloggers.
Always a huge fan of the UBP, though I’m late to join in this time around. Life got the best of me!!
What a great idea. Thanks for hosting
Thank you so much for inviting me to The Party! It is the nicest type of party…I can come and go in my jammies!
Thanks for hosting this fabulous party.
How exciting! It’s been a fun week. Thank you for hosting!
Have loved the UBP!!! Thanks so much! Will definitely be joining again next year.
Thanks for the party!!!
Time to party!
This years blog party was so much fun!
This is so fun! So many fabulous blogs all in one place!!!
WooHoo! Thanks for the par-tay!!!!
This is my first experience with social network parties. It’s fun! You ladies are awesome at what you’re doing. Hope I understand the blogging process well enough one day to dig in as you do. Good luck with the results from the party! I hope you gain a lot from this party:)
Had a great time! Thank-you!
Wow, a lot of great sites are participating, what fun!
Had so much fun at my first UBP!!
I have such admiration for all you guys! Look forward to making new friends from this!
This is awesome, thanks for putting this on!
How wise you were to leave the post up forever so people could continue to come back to visit more blogs beyond the original party week… wouldn’t you know I got slammed with a nasty cold going around our house during this time. I’m a bit late getting around to visit blogs but have SO enjoyed the comments other partiers have left in my party post. I WILL get back around to each of them no matter how long it takes me (I work PT from home while taking care of my children and trying to get our blog “off the ground” since this past January).
Thank you for putting together such a wonderful event where bloggers can discover and connect with each other.
This Ultimate Blog Party 2011 is fabulous! I had never heard about it until the other day, but you can bet I will be back year after year! Thanks ladies!
This was my first blog party. I had a wonderful time and met some really wonderful women. You ladies are so awesome. Thanks for organizing this. Can’t wait for next year!
Finally making my way back over to visit all the party goers! I love the Ultimate Blog Party!
Thanks so much! This is my first time at the party and I am so overwhelmed! There is no way I’m going to be able to go to all these blogs in a week! Any tips for a newbie?
Thanks so much for putting this together!
I have participated for many years and always meet some great bloggers!
Oh, my goodness, what planning this must have taken! Congrats on a job well done, and here’s to many more to come!
My 2nd year doing the UBP!! I always have a blast! I’m a bit disappointed this year, as I went from 80+ comments last year to 14 this year. I don’t know if it has anything to do with using the prize form this year. I donated a prize again this year, but did not get the visitors like last year when we went to the prize blogs to visit. Still had a great time though! Just now took my sticky post down… getting ready for another big event at midnight.. Blogmania 2011! Thanks again for all your hard work!
This was an awesome event and my first year participating. Thanks!
I have been rockin some major Tigerblood during the UBP11, tweeting like the torpedo of truth and finding tons of new bloggy Goddess’ like myself! HUGE THANKS to all the sponsers and of course Sue & Jan who totally rock!
It’s been so fun! I’ve loved visiting other blogs and the Live Chat last night was super fun! I can’t wait for UBP12!!
This has been so fun…thanks!
Just wanted to thank you so very much for hosting the UBP! It has been a fantastic event and I truly feel priviledged to be a part of it! Looking forward to UBP’12!

This is so cool! I’m sad I missed most of the party though, hehe. Thanks ladies! @princessla66.
Last year when I heard about this I was completely lost and this year I found out more information but still a little behind in figuring things out but I think I got it and I did visit some great blogs with great information. Ready for next year.
I tried and tried to get in but had to settle for just listening in on twitter.
Thanks for the party! Sorry I’m late. but I’ll be visiting most of these sites over the next few weeks.
I’m new to the party concept but love it! Thanks
Thank you both so much for such a fun party!
Thanks so much for hosting UBP2011. I had a great time!

I have had so much fun blog hopping this week… and haven’t even made a dent in the list! I look forward to continuing the party for the next few weeks! So much fun ‘meeting’ new bloggers and content
I’ve had an insanely busy week helping my Grandma so I haven’t had too much computer time, but I am going to continue visiting blogs and will follow everyone back who followed me! This is really fun! A big thanks to Janice & Susan!
