NOTE: This is the AFTER-PARTY for the Ultimate Blog Party 2010. If you are looking for the MckLinkies with the 2300+ blog URLs, click over to our UBP party post. And don’t worry — those linkies aren’t going anywhere! So you can come back all year long and find fresh, fabulous new blogs to read!

UBP10-Janice-SusanAfter seven days of partying, three UBP10 LIVE events, and tons of tweeting, the official Ultimate Blog Party 2010 is winding down.

THANK YOU so much for coming and partying with us!!! We are honored to host you all here at 5 Minutes for Mom. We just wish we could make it through all 2,300 blogs! (We should have a contest for the person who makes it through the most!)

We had so much fun partying with you all — and our kids loved their annual Ultimate Blog Party too. With this being our fourth year partying up internet style, our kids consider Blog Parties as normal as Birthday Parties. (My son kept asking me this year, “When is the Ultimate Blog Party?”)

Here are our kids partying up at our Ultimate Blog Party 2010. At the beginning of the video Susan caught four year old Julia on the phone with her friend explaining that she was at a Blog Party. Way too funny!

Yes, it was another wonderful (and exhausting!) week, with more than 2300 bloggers participating. Now it is time for us to start drawing winners and sorting through all those fabulous UBP10 prizes.

  21. Thanks for the great party! I really think that you should have a Mid-Year Blog Party, because this was so much fun!! I met some great people and I am excited to follow their journeys!!

  25. I’m a reader not a blogger, (I have a blog but do not write in it…I just never feel quite up to it and I have no skills – URLs etc) I am currently undergoing some rough chemotherapy and reading these happy, helpful blogs is a great way to take my mind off these troubles. I have been a 5 minutes for mom subscriber for a little while already which is how I learned about UBP. Oh, goodness, ladies, what a fun time I have had.. I am in awe of your ability to organize and expedite! Fabulous! I cannot post links… I don’t know how – but I would be remiss not to mention Lisa Cooking … a blog I really fell for, and peggy gorman’s blog, also Still Blonde and Staci. Wonderful fun places to visit and all because of you. Plus you leave the list so I can continue to visit new places. Wonderful. Thank you for a very exciting week!

  28. I loved the party! Thanks for all your hard work ladies. I hope you will be willing to do it all again for next year. I will be there with my best party dress on … or pjs. Thanks!

  29. Aggh! Only 3 new blogs we love? That’s impossible! 🙂 I did limit my picks to 5, but it was really, really hard!

    Thanks for hosting such a great party. I always love meeting new bloggers, and this is my favorite way to do it every year!

  31. Hey ladies!

    I have already done this during the UBP. I love to share with my readers at least three sites I have come across and really enjoyed. I’m way ahead of you! So glad you are encouraging your readers to do the same!

  33. I had SO much fun….thank you to both of you and everyone at 5 Minutes for Mom! I swear I was already following you here….but now I am for sure! LOL Love the video…adorable!

    I’m with Michelle above….I actually loved reading the comments from the ladies that took a few extra minutes to actually read my party post and look through my blog. 🙂 I try to leave a personalized comment when I visit and follow, and I totally appreciate the comments back!

  37. Thanks for the great party, if I ever need a party idea, I’m coming to you. Oh and when are you guys coming down to Seattle again? We should get together, I would love that. I really just wanted to thank you for bringing all of us bloggers together for some get to know you time. I’ve been sick all week but it’s easy to party on the laptop.

  38. This was such a wonderful experience. I made lots of new friends and bookmarked tons of new sites to follow-up on. To pick out 3 would be difficult because there are so many different women out there with so many different outlooks on life and Motherhood.

    One blog stands out to me though… and one particular post on this blog surpasses anything else I’ve come across over the past week. @Dayngr of “Dayngrous Discourse” wrote a post titled “Remembering My Mom, 3 Years Later” http://tinyurl.com/y6t6dqe that was so touching that it moved me to tears. Please take a moment to read what she has written about her beloved Mother and her memories (and be sure to have a phone nearby so you can call your Mother immediately!).

    Thank you so much for bringing all of us together ladies. What a wonderful world you’ve opened up 🙂

  40. I’ve had such a great time this week participating in the UBP. Thanks again for holding this event. I’ve met so many new bloggers and I fully intend to finish visiting each and every blog (I wanted to get to them all this week but haven’t made it).

  41. I LOVE the video!!!! – What a good time. So many new things this year at the party. Who knows what you ladies will pull off next year!

  43. Thanks for making the blog party possible. This was my first year to participate, and I had a good time and met new people. I’ll definitely get an After Party post up soon.

  44. Beautiful pictures and video. I love your daughter talking on the phone saying she’s at the blog party. lol 🙂

  46. Just read the after party post. I wish you had picked a winner for the most visited blogs because I know I’d win that. I am up to 1750 visited blogs right now & I have subscribed to all of them with my google reader rss feed. I’ll never go hunting the internet for food articles anymore!

  47. (CLAPPING) (Blowing Noise Makers) Y’all RAWK!! I’ve enjoyed tweeting, partying, events, and blogs with each of you. I’ve had a fantastic time of it.

    It has been a real pleasure finding new gems of a blog, meeting new people and making new friends. 🙂 🙂 Count me HAPPY! 🙂

  48. Thanks so much for this party. I’ve met some great girls and hope to have more blogs to read. And hopefully more “Followers”
    I will note, however, everytime I get on this site, I get a “virus” warning. I have a good anti-spyware, so it hasn’t hurt me.
    Can’t wait to see you next year…it will be my 3rd party with you!

  49. Took a break from writing the novel that I am writing now to find out there is an AFTER party post. Cool. i did not cue up the webcam for this one so you are safe this time. LOL. Just like you said, I gave a litte shout out to the NEW peeps I started following. :)))

    Thanks for throwing such a wonderful party and for stopping by my little corner in the blogosphere. i feel special.

    Party on!

  51. What a great idea! I actually started blogging about sites I visited last week. Since SandwichINK focuses on the Sandwich Generation and the Baby Boomers Generation caring for elderly parents, with kids still at home, and/or helping with the grandchildren, I looked specifically for blogs in that niche and found several. And it’s not too late! I’d love to do a way-after post with even more sites of interest and encouragement to the Sandwich Generation. Just leave me a comment at SandwichINK. 🙂 🙂 🙂

    To all of you at 5 Minutes for Mom, THANK YOU ! It was a terrific week that’s not over yet and we really appreciate ALL your HARD WORK to do this!!! And yes, I’m already looking forward to the 2011 Ultimate Blog Party!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Have a blessed week!

  54. you should definitely see who went to the most parties! They deserve an award. I know someone on twitter was running through them.

    I especially loved the comments of people who actually read my blog. LOL

    Um..i think several people didnt read the instructions above….LOL…I;ll try to remember to actually do a post and link to the post.

  56. Oops. … I posted my link to my original post… haven’t even posted a after party post yet (that’s what I get for not reading directions!) I’ve read over 100 blogs & I’m still going. I have made a commitment to myself to read ALL of the blogs listed. Obviously, it will not happen today but it will happen. I’ll let you know when I finish (whenever that may be).
