Ultimate Blog Party 2012

The Ultimate Blog Party is brought to you by:

Come on in — the ULTIMATE BLOG PARTY 2012 is HERE!

Welcome to the Ultimate Blog Party 2012Welcome! You have made it to the right place — this is the place to party April 13 through April 20 for the Ultimate Blog Party 2012.

We are Janice and Susan, the twin bloggers behind 5 Minutes for Mom and we are so excited you are joining us for our SIXTH 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.)

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. We’ve also got Four Online Live Events happening during the week, so you’ll want to RSVP for those.

If you are new to the UBP, or you have any questions, you’ll get the answers in the recent post Ultimate Blog Party 2012 – Tips & Tricks.

Prizes!

Ready for a shock?

The prize pool has over 150 prizes and is worth over $21,200.

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 20th. 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 2012 Prize Pool!

We will ALSO do separate random draws for 10 individual $100 paypal cash prizes from our Featured Linky Lists Sponsors for each of the 10 Linky Lists.

Here We’ll Tell You All About The UBP in 45 Seconds…

What 5 Minutes for Mom is all About…

Janice and I created 5 Minutes for Mom in March 2006. We wanted to bring together and support the online mom community. Along with our directories for mom owned blogs, stores and websites we started sharing our lives as work-at-home moms and sharing posts from other mom bloggers.

Thanks to you and our other loyal readers, we’ve steadily grown and been able to live out our site’s mission.

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.

So while 5MinutesForMom.com is also our personal site, infused by our lives as moms, bloggers, and business owners, it is about more than us… it’s about YOU! It is about the Bringing Moms Together through the incredible power of the online mom community.

Meet Us…

If you’re new here, we are Janice and Susan, identical twin bloggers who each have two children and live two blocks apart.

Janice has a 10 year old boy Jackson and a 4 year old girl Olivia.

ultimate-blog-party

I (Susan) have an almost 7 year old girl Julia and a 4 year old girl Sophia.

ultimate-blog-party

We love being moms and we love blogging. Janice and I live kinda crazy chaotic lives immersed in our passion for social media. We love connecting with blogging friends online and in person and at conferences.

Here’s a fun animoto video slideshow of our kids partying for the UBP.

Now that the party has started…

  1. If you have a blog, publish a “party post” on your site.
  2. Add your blog party post url AND/OR your facebook link AND/OR your twitter link to the appropriate Linky that you’ll find below.
  3. Visit tons of blogs, facebook pages and follow new twitter friends from the Linky.

There will be tons of virtual partying going on this week and it all ENDS — 11:59pm Eastern, April 20, 2012. (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 20, 2012. And then we will begin trying to draw ALL those winners! Please have patience.

Follow @5minutesformom and watch hashtag #UBP12 on Twitter.

Remember to post an Ultimate Blog Party badge on your site and invite everyone to party with you!

Did you know that the beautiful new Cottonelle roll covers by Jonathan Adler can be used for more than just a toilet paper roll cover? The fashion consultant, Vivian St. Claire says “First and foremost, of course, they should be used to respect the care-worthy rolls of Cottonelle Clean Care Toilet Paper,”.

    So, just with some nominal monthly fee, the organizations

    backup, updates, security practices to their cloud provider.

    They are very convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are very brief for newbies.
    May just you please lengthen them a little from subsequent time?

    I am really impressed together with your writing talents and
    also with the structure to your weblog. Is this a paid theme or
    did you modify it yourself? Either way keep up the nice high quality writing,
    it’s uncommon to peer a great weblog like this one nowadays..

    Excellent blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on
    everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid
    option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally
    overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Kudos!

    When someone writes an piece of writing he/she retains the idea of a user in his/her mind that how a user can understand
    it. Therefore that’s why this article is outstdanding.

    I cannot believe that I {almost} missed this awesome event! I will make sure to post this as soon as possible.

    My blog is all about my son, Wes – and of course me and my hubby. Wes is due any day now, and he will be born with an extra chromosome of awesomeness! This blog is currently following our journey on becoming parents, and parents of a child with Down syndrome. Our goal is to post pictures of our little one as often as possible to spread the word that just because he has Down syndrome, doesn’t mean is isn’t valued any less than other children.

    XOXO

    Good morning! This is very cool and a great way to introduce others to your site. I am 51 and mom of a high school sophomore who will be taking driving lessons this summer. I am also caregiver for my husband who is 57. My husband was diagnosed in 2009 with Mild Cognitive Impairment, which may or may not be a precursor to Alzheimer’s. I am a blogger on http://www.caregiving.com. I hope you’ll stop by there and visit the party. While you’re there, you can read my blog:http://www.caregiving.com/2012/04/steves-sacramento-trip/

I’m a little confused. Sorry about that. Will I be able to list my blog on the Linky w/out adding a prize? I looked at last year’s start up but still am unsure. Either way I’m excited!! Oh how can our followers join in? During Spreechats & Twitter parties? Sorry for all the questions.

      The way the UBP works is that you will write a post on your site introducing who you are and what your site is about. Be sure to include one of our banners so others can find out how to join the party.

      That is the post that you will link up during the party so that others can come and visit your site.

    This sounds like a lot of fun. Count me in. I will try and comment on peoples blogs but unfortunately I can’t seem to be able to comment on most wordpress blogs right now, from what I have figured out it has something to do with the Askimet plug in wrongly marking me automatically at spam. I think it might have to do with me changing my name line to include my blog name and then one rare afternoon where I had time to explore blogs I made a tonne of comments in a short time period, and during that time frame suddenly my comments stopped appearing on peoples blogs. I think the combination of the two created the problem. However, I will try and comment on all blogs that will accept my comments, and hopefully I figure out a solution to my problem soon.

      Hi Victoria

      So sorry you are having commenting issues. You should talk to your web hosting company. They might be able to figure out what the issue is. We hope to see you at the party!

    Hey ladies,

    I had so much fun reading other blogs last year, I can’t wait to read some more! I doubt I’ll get to them all but that’s the beautiful part: diversity.

    When will we be able to list our blogs? Are we required to give away prizes? Just askin’.

      Hi Emiliana

      The linkys will go live on the 13th. That is when you can link up and start visiting.

      The prizes are not required but are a great way to get your blog noticed even more as people will visit your site to learn about your giveaway item. If you want more info on that just email me from the contact page and I can tell you all about it, or you can visit this link for more info:

    Hooray – can’t wait! Thanks for the fun invite again this year. I’m adding the button and inviting plenty of boomers and seniors and others who are in the Sandwich Generation with me. As caregivers for aging parents while raising our own children (or babysitting grandchildren, like me), we can’t always get out and about easily. But your blog party is a ton of fun – right in our own homes and we APPRECIATE you for it. 🙂 Thanks again!

        It’s up! Just made a new button today for my blog and am on my way to fixing a couple things to be prepared for Friday! I’m super excited!
        Published a blog post earlier letting people know about the party and will be posting about it all week! (my top ten Tuesday and wordless Wednesday all circle around it! hehe) couldn’t help myself! 😀
        And I entered my sponsored prize earlier.. slowly getting things checked off the list! hehe

        One thing I’m wondering though is when does your linky list open up exactly? If you can tell me. Because I’m up at 3am for work, I plan on setting an alarm to wake me so I can link up if I’m able to. ^.^
