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.)

And remember to follow @5minutesformom and watch hashtag #ubp10 on Twitter.

  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 🙂 (my real name)

    Thanks so much! 🙂

    1. Any Amazon or Target gift card such as USC3, USC8, USC15, 52,73, USC 44
    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! 😉 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.

  55. This is my first time participating in #UBP10 and I’m so glad I stumbled across it online! That’s what I love about the internet. So many creative people coming up with great events! I’ve really enjoyed meeting others on their blogs. What a great event.

    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!

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.

  287. Hey Linkers- I found that on several of your blogs that I can’t post a comment. You might not be aware of this. If you check your blog and you have ZERO comments it is probably because you don’t have comments enable on your blog. I couldn’t even find an email to email you!

    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.

    Feel free to come by my blog and read my Ultimate Blog Party ’10 post!

    I did make a mistake though – I clicked the “McLinky” and entered my info –then couldn’t find it. So I did it again. Then later, as I was visiting blogs, I realized the reason I had not seen it the first time, was because I had clicked the wrong “McLinky” Could you please delete “MrsMamaHen” from the “mompreneur #67” when you have a moment? Thanks so much!

I’m not a blogger (write for a living, so that’s enough writing for me daily!) so I’m entering by going to 20 posts (probably more). As to my prize preferences, my top three are: 1/ #6 The Double Stacked A Love of Love Personalized necklace; 2/#4 Color Me Pink Three Earrings, 3/#20, $50 in jewelry by Cookie Lee! As you can see, I love jewelry, so also any prizes involving jewelry – and I also love gift certificates, so any prizes involving those (to make it simple)! Thanks, 5 minutes for mom, and I’m sure everyone will have fun at the party!

  813. I’m so excited that I came across this site. Time to party. My husband is currently – as we speak – trying to put together a “Grab My Button” for my Personal Finance Blog. What a great way to connect with other busy mom’s. Kudo’s ladies – I’ll see you at the party this week.

    Check out my Personal Finance Blog @ http://www.jackierwalters.blogspot.com

    A blog created to help you understand the basics of a budget, how to build a budget and what items on your budget can bust it. Together we can build a monthly budget based upon your monthly take home pay and find ways to eliminate unnecessary spending to free up excess money to pay off debt and build wealth.

  818. This is very exciting…I’m a mom of two girls…we have our share of drama, laughter and everything else in between. I homeschool, just started my journey in dieting and deal with ex husbands, exwives and all the fun stuff too!

    Of course I’d love to have the grand prize – Toshiba Staellite…especially since my poor laptop has started giving me memory space errors!! OH NO!

    But, if not, I’d love the #57 Beginners Yoga set from “Truth Be Told Blog” or the US3 $50 gift card from Target provided by “Peggy Gorman”

    And if none of those were won…. 6,8,31,32,39,40, or 72

AND as a bonus, my husband decided to take the kids on an adventure last night – overnight to San Fran. So I was up late partying down. Now I must clean the house, must clean the house, must clean the house.

  910. Wow, I am loving this party!!! I am a non-blogger seriously considering launching one…I am not a writer by nature or training, but feel the need to express somewhere. This party is great research for seeing if the market is too flooded. I have starting digging through sites, what a great variety (is the market flooded??? Can i find my niche??).

    As far as prizes, there as so many wonderful ones to choose from….if I decide to launch INTL 2 and INTL 10 would be very handy. I also like 63, 106,111, USC 17, any of the Amazon or Target GCs, 19, 39 (who couldn’t use a vacation!), 49, USC 14, 15, and the list continues…love most of it.

  1102. Wow….I only participated a little last year and somehow I just didn’t remember it being this BIG! I just love you guys. You’re so awesome!! 🙂 You do know though that by doing this I’m going to have your web page up for days going thru all these wonderful gals (and guys) and not get anything else done. Oh well housework will wait!! ;o)

  1103. I am so sorry it took me a while to get my post and links up. I’ve been suffering from this darn rhino virus this week and it is making me so tired at night. I wanted to stay up late last night but was unable to do so. I hope that your readers still visit us! It took me over an hour to write my party post.

    I’m looking forward to blog hopping and networking with new mom bloggers this week.

    I have no idea what prize I want but I will comment again once I know.

  1109. There a ton of great prizes, but if I were to win something, I would really love to have the stay at the Hilton Garden Inn for 2. My husband I could use some reconnecting time. This was provided by Hilton Garden Inn and bloggin2noggin.

    If that wasnt available, I would love the $100 camping gift card provided by SummitCampingGear.com so i could pass on to my husband whom is currently on a camping trip as I write this.

    And for a third option, I love to read, so any of the Target gift cards where I can pick up a new book without feeling guilty would be wonderful. Thankyou to all the providers of this option: The Frugal Novice, Money4ThisNot4That, Peggy Gorman, Haley Quarles of Love, Life, Family…and then some, Safe Home Happy Mom Blog,

    Please note that if you hop around, some of that old content is not necessarily family friendly, but everything front page is (and the past few weeks).

    I hope you enjoy my new direction as much as I enjoy writing it. See you there!

  1199. Hi everyone! Can’t wait to check out all the great blogs listed! Have a great day!

    Reply

  1201. I love your blog and have been following for a long time. Come to think of it, I cannot recall seeing any pics of your husbands – it is funny, I don’t usually like posting photos of myself either – I would say it is a guy thing, but my wife is the same way. The kids love seeing themselves though, which is good because without pics of them, I wouldn’t have much of a Dadblog.

    I began my blog in 2008 but this is my first UBP and I am very excited! I look forward to the chats, webcast, twitter event, etc. I also look forward to getting to know people from their Party Posts..I wrote more about myself in my Party post than I have altogether since I began blogging. At a party, I would rather listen, but first I need to explore and visit some of the other people who have joined the party. Thanks for hosting such a cool event!

    Reply

  1204. I am so happy to be here! 🙂 I hadn’t heard of this party until just a few days ago. I had such a hard time picking my favorite prizes – they are fabulous! Looking forward to meeting lots of other moms and bloggers this week!

    I’m a little embarrassed, I was trying to link my jewelry blog up under the business section, and I put it under the “not so family friendly list” instead! (I guess the excitement is a little too much for me! lol.) So if you have a minute you can delete me from that list. (I’m #5)

  1369. I am so excited for this blog party. I was brand new last year and didn’t have a clue what I was doing. Now after one year, I celebrate with you. I am celebrating my one year bloggy anniversary and my 200th post all at the same time as the ubp10. My first blog post was last years party post. Unbelievable…………………Thank you for helping me get started. You were a big part of the reason I started blogging and I have been so blessed. Have a great time at the party!
