This is IT!!! The OFFICIAL Party Post for the Ultimate Blog Party 2010.

Welcome to the Party!

UBP10-jan-sue-300pixWelcome to the 4th Annual Ultimate Blog Party. We are Janice and Susan, the twin bloggers behind 5 Minutes for Mom and we are thrilled that you’re here!

The Ultimate Blog Party is a virtual party celebrating online friendships.

Join the party and find new blogging friends, connect with longtime blogging buddies and maybe even win a prize.

If you’re wondering what is going on here, don’t worry… Here’s
Everything You Need To Know About The Ultimate Blog Party 2010

But, the basic idea is really simple… here, we’ll quickly tell you what’s going on…

Party With Us…

Janice and I each have two children. Janice’s boy, Jackson, is eight years old and her little Olivia is two years old. My Julia will be five in May and my Sophia is two years old (two weeks younger than Olivia.)

We’re both lucky to have husbands who put up with our crazy blogging lives. (Although, neither of them like us to blog ABOUT them… which is why you don’t see many photos of them on the site.)

Around here you’ll often find us laughing about stories of our chaotic lives as work at home moms. But 5 Minutes for Mom is about more than us… it’s about Bringing Moms Together. This site is really all about you!

We have a great group of writers here to inspire, encourage and empower you. We couldn’t survive without our amazing virtual assistant Erica Stall and our new technical assistant Erica Mueller.

How to Join the Party:

(Simplified version. Details here.)

  1. Read and comment on THIS post to be entered in the draw for PRIZES.
  2. If you have a blog, write a party post on your site, include a UBP 2010 BUTTON, and tell us which prizes you want if you win.
  3. Add your blog url AND/OR your facebook link AND/OR your twitter link to the appropriate Mck Linky below.
  4. Visit tons of blogs, facebook pages and follow new twitter friends from the Mr. Linkies. (To be eligible for prizes, we ask that you visit and comment on at least 20 blogs.)

  20. I must have done a complete fail, I have gone through each and every comment looking for mine… can’t find it anywhere. Either I need glasses, didn’t do it or should be blogging past 11pm!!

    Just in case I did comment but missed it… forgive me but I swear I’ve gone through all the pages and can’t find it anywhere!

    I did find that there are a lot of Shannon’s here πŸ™‚ (my real name)

    2. USC 57
    3. INTL 2
    4. INTL 10

    After that,: USC 11, US 20, INTL 15, INTL 8, INTL 5, US19 or anything else that works well for a 3 1/2 or 2 year old little boy!

  51. This Blog Party has been a lot of fun, but could I make one teeny, tiny, little suggestion for next year? Would you please consider dividing the “Family Friendly Blogs” into smaller categories… perhaps Preschool Blogs, Homeschool Blogs, Parenting Blogs – I’m sure other readers will have other suggestions based on the theme of their blogs. I’ve been blog hopping and there are so many blogs that are wonderful for what they are, but they just aren’t for me… and while I’ve stopped by far more than 20, I haven’t left comments at all of them because I don’t really want to just say “Jennifer was here,” I want to leave a meaningful comment, an encouraging comment, a “nice to meet you, see you again” comment… and unfortunately, for many of the blogs I’ve visited, I just can’t. I don’t have preschoolers anymore, I’m doing ok in the parenting area (I’ve had LOTS of training and experience with that), and what I’m really looking for are other homeschooling Moms I can chat with, relate to, share ideas with. I know they’re out there; I’m just struggling to find them. Anyway, I just thought with such a large category (almost 2000!), subdivisions might make it easier for Moms like me to connect to other Moms like me… or like them, you know what I mean! πŸ˜‰ Thanks for considering it. Party on!

  52. Sorry I’m posting so late. I’ve been visiting blogs all week and realized I hadn’t posted a comment here yet. Thanks so much for hosting the UBP10. I have really increased my readership and have found many new blogs that I will be following. Kudos to the person that engineered this whole event!! Excellent!!

    Reply

  53. I’m not a blogger, but I’ve been enjoying visiting some new blogs this week – there are too many to get to all of them, though! Will the links stay up once the party is over?

    I would love a chance to win one of the prizes. I don’t know how to make a hyperlink in a comment, but my top 3 choices would be:

    USC 8 – $55 E-Gift Card for Amazon.com from Kelly’s Lucky You (http://kellysluckyyou.blogspot.com/)
    USC 37 – One winner will receive a $50 gift card to Amazon.com from Shasher’s Life (http://www.shasherslife.com/)
    USC 36 – $25 Amazon.com gift card from Tara’s View of the World (http://tarasviewoftheworld.com/)

    I’m also interested in USC 40, USC 44, USC 25, USC 12, USC 28, and USC 33, or anything else that would be nice for an adult or fun to share with my friends’ children. I’m in Canada.

  54. I’m glad @5minutesformom allows Daddy bloggers to participate too! I’ve been meeting a lot of Mommy bloggers these days as they’ve been reviewing my ergonomic pen and came across this when visiting one of their blogs. It’s great how viral things are online. I thought this #UBP10 blog party was a great idea and I’m so pleased I could be a part of it.

    To enter, simply tell me that you would like to win the Earth Day Prize pack, as well as your blog address and your email address. If you want to leave me a nice comment, that would be great, too.

    Also, if you have anything that you would like to share for Earth Day, please feel free to link up to my posts about Earth Day on my blog.
    Please sign up to follow me, as it would be nice to get to know about you and your blogs, too.

    Also, for this upcoming Monday, in conjunction with Montessori Monday on Mommy Moment, I am writing a review and working with Mommy Moment on a neat Montessori inspired giveaway…

    So, a couple of chances to win neat, handmade Montessori inspired items over the course of the next few days…yippie!

  144. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the UBP. I’m having a lot of fun visiting the various blogs. Here are a few prizes that interest me: The Grand Prize (WOW), US1, US3, US6, US11, US73, US76, US107, US112, USC13, USC15, USC17 (hubby will love this one), USC 39, USC41 or USC57. All the prizes are great so if I don’t win any of these, I would like something that would let me treat myself (shopping or pampering) or something for young children – mine are 3 and 5 years old.

    IF You don’t have any comments but have comments enabled stop by my blog, http://cafescrapper-scrapsoflife.blogspot.com and tell me no one has visited you! I will come pop over!

  385. I have to say, “thank-you”. I wish I had thought of blogging earlier. (I didn’t know much about blogging – heck, I still don’t really) It would have helped me through my pregnancy with twins (I had to leave work – I’m a displaced workaholic). I knew nothing about having twins. Since the UBP, I have found so many wonderful blogs and websites about twins (even though mine are almost 2).
    Again, Thanks for this opportunity to meet so many great bloggers.

    Reply

  386. This is my first UBP and I think it is a wonderful idea. Even though I was late joining, it really wasn’t too late at all. I gained some new readers overnight and today I’m finally starting to make my way through the list. I really hope this list stays up even after the party is over… I would like to eventually make it through the entire list.
