Scotts GroGood The UBP 09 is brought to you in part by

Julia celebrating the Ultimate Blog Party 2009Welcome to the Party!

The Ultimate Blog Party is about building online friendships.

It’s simple to join the fun and lots of ways you can get involved — from simply reading this post, to publishing your own party post on your blog and signing one of the Mr. Linky link lists near the end of this post.

So come on in and enjoy the party. We are Susan and Janice, the twin bloggers behind 5 Minutes for Mom. Since 2006, we’ve been blogging here and running two online toy stores — a pedal car store and a rocking horse store.

We each have two young children. Janice has a seven year old boy Jackson and a one and a half year old toddler Olivia. I have two little girls, Julia who is almost four and my toddler Sophia is two weeks younger than Janice’s girl Olivia.

We love our online life and the best part is our online friendships.

5 Minutes for Mom is really for everyone… not just moms.

We want to give a HUGE welcome to all women (and men too) whether or not you have children.

We use the term “Mom” to include everyone who loves children and is interested in the types of things that generally interest moms.

We especially want to include moms-to-be and women struggling to become moms.

In our recent poll of whether the Ultimate Blog Party should be for women only, the votes were quite split. It looks like the general consensus is we want to be welcoming but remember that the focus of the party is for bloggers to build genuine online friends and increase their readership in a fun, organic way.

So, we want YOU to party with us, whether you’re a mom, grandma, a dad or a single gal. 🙂

We reserve the right to remove any links from the list that are spammy, offensive or don’t fit the nature of our party.

How to party with us:

  5. Oh, dear~ I hope I’m not posting too late to be in the prize draw~ I read the “How To Win The Prize You Really Want” on the prize page, before the party, when I went about donating my two prizes, and it only mentioned bloggers posts, not comments~
    I’ve been hopping around and visiting, and thought I’d check back tonight before I go to bed(later than I should)
    Agggg…. I didn’t know I needed to comment here. (OOPS!)
    Oh well, I’ll hope there is a little grace for a first-timer. 😉

    If not, maybe next time….

  7. Txs for an awesome UBP! It was my 1st time attending, but it was definitely not my last!

  9. Oh My Stars – what a week – I tried to visit 50 blogs per day this week . . . I wanted to get through the list of bloggers and on Mon I thought I could do it!!!! But each day I came here, there were SO MANY MORE blogs to see!!!!!!!! I did visit well over 300 NEW blogs!! I LOVED this and I am going to keep visiting all these new and fabulous women that I didn’t know were out there. I was so busy with UBP that I didn’t even get to join Wordless Wednesday this week!!!!
    What a fun week!!!!!!!!!

  10. Thank you so much to all who came by my blog and visited.. I really wish I would have had time to visit more myself. I was at the Relay for Life tonight and didn’t get a chance to. I had a blast and I hope more will come by and still take a look. I’m brand new so bare with me as I don’t know exactly what I’m doing.. lol

    Many Blessings to all..

  13. This Ultimate Blog Party has been amazing!! I am not a blogger, but I found out about the party through my daughter, who is an avid blogger!

  15. I am so new to blogging I don’t have a clue what I am doing and don’t really have the time to find out what I’m doing wrong. For Pete’s sake, I don’t even have a theme for my blog yet. Is that nuts or what.
    At any rate I have a post up and maybe I can win something. I am definitely saving the blogger list because there are so many interesting blogs that I want to revisit.

  181. Inspired by one of your blogging tips last night on #gno… leaving a comment 🙂 Can’t wait to visit these blogs- what a great idea!

  182. Thanks for putting this party together. I’m new to the blogging scene, so I am having to learn all the lingo and get more techo-savvy. I am very grateful for the opportunity this gives to network with others who are kindred spirits.

  186. Oh this is so fun! I have so enjoyed all of the traffic that I have gotten on my blog as well as finding some really great blogs to read.

  187. Hi,
    This is the coolest Party ever! I am new to Blogging and found out about the party via some other blogs I read. I am really excited to be a part of this great event.

  188. I am amazed at how many prizes there are! Thanks for organizing this, ladies! I hope I have done everything right to enter. I’m about to go visit some of the many blogs here now. Thanks.

  199. just started a blog. Glad to find this great PARTY. Glad to be part of it..I am just a newbie

  200. It’s neat that you are doing this again this year. I almost missed it. I like the idea of breaking down the link list into different categories. Helps with sorting who to visit. 🙂

  201. This is fun, thanks for hosting it! This is my first year at the party, and I’m loving all the new blogs I’m finding =)

  202. How much fun is this! I know I’m late but I had to get in on the action. Come stop by for a big glass of sweet tea, and possibly a slice of quiche! Just move the chicken out of the lawn chair…oh!Look! There’s an egg for the quiche!

  203. Your site is awesome. It has good information. I’m going to pass it along to my mom. She told me about the blog party, so I thought I would take a look around. My name is Becca and I started with my mom’s help a cooking website so I can help kids my age cook. I love cooking. Stop by for a visit or better yet have your kids come by. Thanks and have fun at the party!
    Awesome recipe

  204. Hello! I’m late to the party, but I’m excited to meet some new friends. Anyone is free to stop by my blog and say “hi!” I’d be glad to move a laundry basket, brew a pot of tea, and offer you a slice of fresh banana bread! Looking forward to “meeting” you!

  205. What a great party! Lovin’ meeting new people and reading everyone uber-creative posts!

  221. What a great idea to get those busy moms together and make some connections! Thanks for the party.

  224. I have been waiting so long for another ultimate blog party. I’ve had such fun at the last two parties and have found this is such a great way to meet other bloggers. Please stop by and don’t forget to say hi so I can stop by your blog too!

  225. Hi there! I erroneously posted two Mr. Linkies in the Family Friendly section. #1430 & #1432. Please delete #1430 as it links directly to the blog post about the UBP rather than the general link to my blog! Thanks so much for taking care of that, and thank you even more for this wonderful party and opportunity to meet so many new bloggers!

  256. This is my first blog party and it looks great! I look forward to meeting some new blogging friends.

  260. Thanks for hosting the party! This is my first time joining in. I am excited about meeting lots of new bloggers and gaining new wisdom from all these amazing women!

  261. This is my first official edging out of my comfort zone of blogging with friends into the wider blogging community. I’m so impressed with what I’ve seen and excited to be a part of it! Thank you for all of your work :o) Cheers!

    joan

  273. I love that you dressed up your kids, decorated the house, and made cupcakes.

    Wish I could bring my girls over and join you!

  274. Wow, I just switched from a family-only blog to a blog to showcase my arts & crafts projects, and in looking for some inspiration I stumbled across this AMAZING blog party! What a fabulous idea. I’ve been having SO much fun looking at all the other sites, and I am definitely inspired! 🙂

  276. This is my first blog block party.

    I am excited to blog hop and hopefully win some cool items in the process!

    Thanks for the opportunity. 🙂

  278. First time here and so excited to be included and to meet new bloggers! I am so sure I am doing it all right but I blogged about the UBP and added my link under blog and Twitter.

    Damla

  294. YIPPEE!! I am sooo excited to be a part of the UBP this year! I can hardly wait to post my blog about it.

  295. So, I emailed and said I couldn’t link up because I couldn’t see Mr. Linky. Well, when I came back to the page it was all there. Maybe there was a temporary glitch in cyberspace.

    Anyway, I’m all linked up now and looking forward to meeting lots of new people!

  296. I forgot to mention that I have signed up for the party this weekend. I went through my blog and my twitter. I was on vactaion so it’s been fun to have time to visit the blogs. Thanks for doing this.

    The prizes…I never win anything….I’ll take the new friends I get to met.

  298. I finally got around to crashing the party…. my blog is up and running and looking forward to meeting so many new and wonderful friends.

  299. Neato idea! I am new to writing blogs, but have been addicted to reading them for a while. 🙂 I love all your tips on 5 Minutes for Mom! Thanks for throwing the party!

  300. Can’t wait to get my post up and start visiting blogs. This will be my second time at the party!

  304. This is my first time joining the Ultimate Blog Party. Sure hope I’m doing this right. I don’t have a blog (mainly because I’m not quite sure how to put it all together). However, I do enjoy reading others blogs. I found quite a few on here that are interesting. I visited and commented on quite a few, more than the required 20.

    Looking forward to meeting lots of new people! 🙂

  317. Oh man, took me two hours to dig through all the info, instructions, links and get my post up, email to Pamela, button up and then enter via Mr. Linky. I’m #1339!!!!

    I was so wacky by then I put myself in the not-so-family-friendly section on mistake. Please delete #188. It shouldn’t be there.

    Thanks for the opportunity!

    Ginger

  329. This sounds like fun. I don’t have a professional blog or anything, so I hope I can be apart of this!

  330. Hi, ladies … please remove Wedsmack above if you can … I put it in the wrong category, and I don’t have any prizes worked out right now … I just basically invented clueless here. Sorry about that! 🙁

  331. I am thrilled to add my own blog as well as participate in the HG Openhouse blog. This is so much fun and a fabulous way to find new blogs and make new friends. Thanks so much!!

  335. What a great idea. I’m new to the party and am still trying to figure it out. I am always trying to find new sites and readers for my blog as well. Thanks for the party!

  336. I’m so happy to be apart of the party. I just started blogging this year and this is a great way to know other bloggers. Please feel free to check out my site.

  337. I am so excited to have found this bloggy fun! I know what prizes I want and listed them on my blog

  338. 1065 comments…very impressive. How is it that I’m just discovering you? Thanks for this wonderful opportunity to learn about so many wonderful and creative moms (and non-moms).

    I’m sure this will be a ‘must read’ going forward. Happy blogging!

  343. I am so excited to finally participate this year! I have donated prizes but never got in on the party myself 🙂 Thank you!

  344. This has been too much fun! I’m so glad I had the opportunity to participate this year. Thanks for the party!!

  347. Thanks for hosting the party and organizing all the prizes. I can not imagine what all is involved in this giant endeavor!

    Thanks 5 minutes for moms! I’m off to make some bloggy friends:)

  354. This will be my first year participating but it sure does look like fun! Time to PARTY!!!

  357. I figured “not so family friendly” just meant not a mom-blog (quote-unquote) and possibly non-family related stuff. I didn’t think it meant rated R or anything… here’s hoping I haven’t just gotten myself blacklisted! ;P

    Also, I was a little confused about the facebook linky… But oh well.

    Love the party! Looking forward to some hard-core clicking…

  363. I’m so glad I found out about this party – how exciting. Thank you!!!

  364. Crazy…I could have SWORN I already commented here!

    I’m LOVING this party! So many great people have stopped by my blog, and I’m flattered that they want the little apron I put up in the giveaway!

  365. I don’t get how to do anything. How do I post my facebook profile on the linkys?

  369. This is such a cool idea. Im not sure how to put up a party post, but Im going to give it a try. yay

  374. I couldn’t find the Mr. Linky links. I think they are down. Or maybe I’m not as techno savvy as I thought ha ha. So somebody help this clueless mom out and tell me where to find the links at?

    My blog post is here:
    http://themadwhitewoman.blogspot.com/2009/03/ultimate-blog-party-2009.html

    I’m a family friendly site (or at least I think so) and you can find me on twitter here:
    http://twitter.com/tmww

    I also twittered the blog post so hope that counts as well!

    I’m off to visit/comment on some sites that look interesting!

    Party on Girls!

  377. I did it!! It took me awhile as I’m new to all of this, but I put up my party post. I’m excited and ready to go! 🙂

  378. Ooops… totally just signed Mr. Linky under the ‘blogging dads’ place trying to be a facebook person. I lose! 🙂

    This is so much fun! Thanks!

  384. This is great! I just got home from being away for a while, so I have lots of catching up to do, I’d love to win!

  387. Fun party! Come visit my blog – I have the best recipe for pumpkin cream cheese muffins on the internet!

  388. This is so exciting! I look forward to visiting as many as I can! Happy UBP hopping to all! I am #1270 (family friendly) – come and visit!

  391. Hey I am 225 and 226 in section 5 you can delete 225…it was my first try and I didn’t have the correct category. Sorry:(

  392. I thought I had already commented, but can’t find it. I’ve commented to so many things recently, I’m losing track! This is fun and thanks!!

  397. Is it still possible to get in on the party?
    I’d love to participate, but
    the Mr. Linky under the “family friendly” blogs
    appears to have disappeared, and I don’t really
    fit into the other categories. Thanks.

  400. Hello – looking forward to finding new places to visit! Come see us at the Opus-Gluei blog – a no-stress, fun art challenge blog!

  401. I missed the party last year but I’m ready to party this year! What a GREAT idea and fun way to meet others! Thank you for putting this on!

  402. Thanks for this great idea!! I’m still a newbie in the “blogging world” but I’m enjoying this!

  403. Wow! This is huge! I’m late but I’m here! Thanks for all of this. I’m looking forward to visiting some new blogs!

  404. I’ve finally joined the party! Would love to win Mary’s (Owlhavens) “Sane Women’s Guide to Raising a Large Family”. I’m always looking out for more tips.

  406. Wow! This is an incredible idea and I wish I had known of it sooner. I seem to be a little late but this is really cool!

  408. Kinda late in joining the party! This is my 2nd UBP attendance and I hope to meet a lot of mommies out there. 🙂

    I wonder if I can still submit prizes…

    Happy Partying!

    ~Fran

  413. I’ve had trouble trying to leave a comment here, but let’s see if this works b/c I definitely don’t want to miss out!

    I am really impressed by the number of bloggers participating & I am so excited to see my graphic designs on SO many blogs! (very exciting!) I’m having a blast “meeting” new friends & checking out these different blogs. Who’d of known there were so many “mommy bloggers” out there?!!

  414. Thank you for creating a great way to meet other bloggers! This is really fun, I love it!

  415. This is my first party. I am so excited. I added my blog, facebook and twitter to Mr. Linky.

  418. I am so happy to be partying at UBP this year! Hope everyone is enjoying it and looking towards meeting new friends! Thanks 5 Minutes for Mom!

  425. This is my first blog party… thanks for the invitation! I’ve discovered some great blogs!

  426. I just got into the blogging world…looks like perfect timing for the party! I’m excited. 🙂 I can’t wait to join in on the party fun. Thank you for your efforts, this is a huge job to undertake…much appreciated.
    Lisa <3

  428. I’m a couple days late, but I’m joining the party!! 🙂 My post is up and I can’t wait to meet new people!

  429. Woohoo!!! So excited to be joining this year! Just getting ready to put up my blogpost for Monday morning! Can’t wait to start in on all the fun!

  430. I seem to be craving attention lately, and my “real life” friends don’t ever leave me any comments. So thanks for offering this chance to meet some web friends who hopefully will leave words.
    I already visited one page that I will positively be visiting again, so if nothing else… I found something! This is a great idea!

  431. Honestly, I haven’t won anything since I sold a bunch of magazines back in first grade…I’d be proud of any win! Great idea!

  432. This is such an awesome idea! I’m so excited to be a part of it. I can’t wait to visit some of these terrific blogs. I’m going to be here all night!

  433. This is my first UBP and I am really enjoying it! What a great idea and thanks for hosting it!

  434. So I feel bad! When I got on to add my url to Mr. Linky I didn’t realize that they were in groups and I add my link to the twitter section, then I realized it but the Mr. Linky for the family section was missing so I added my link to the Non family section, then today I saw the Mr. Linky for the family friendly one and added my link but with one to many w’s in my address so I had to add it again! Anyways, all together I posted my link 4 times. Sorry, I hope you don’t think I’m just trying to shamelessly advertise my blog in all the wrong sections! I’m just really bad at the whole Mr. Linky thing. I guess him and I have a love hate relationship! Thanks for the UBP!

  435. What a party! I am so Buzzing from the excitement…So glad to be here.

    Coffee with Yasna

  436. I’d love to win some prizes! My picks would be

    top 3

  439. Great event! Can’t wait to go check out some of these blogs. Thanks! iclipalso(at)yahoo(dot)com

  442. This is my first time in a blog party! Looks like fun…can’t wait to read some new blogs!

  443. This is my first party!! I am so excited to be participating. I can’t wait to meet all these wonderful new bloggers. 🙂

  444. The first time I signed up (#1100) I didn’t use the permalink to my UBP invite post. I’ve corrected that in a new sign-up.

  446. I’m here finally and almost ready to party. Been under the weather since Thursday. My blog is just about ready to go. See ya other there! Party on!

  449. Well I am finally here. I have been under the weather and then up on the roof with my hubby building a porch roof but I finally got to the party (you will have to excuse the messy hair and the smell of sweat). I have been meeting some new people and some interesting blogs. Off to shower and to bed early but will definitley be back again tomorrow to enjoy more fun. Good job ladies!!

  452. I’m enjoying the party, but it’s a little frustrating to stop by blogs that either don’t have a party post up or you have to dig and search to find one. I’m at 153. Betsy and can’t find a party post to comment on. I’ve been trying to go backwards to hit some of the newer people first, but it looks like it will be more rewarding to start at the top and work my way down.

    mittens0831 AT aol.com

  520. This is my first blog party. I am looking forward to making friends in the blogosphere. Thanks for hosting this. Heading to post about this on my blog…

  521. I’m having a great time visiting blogs – I need more hours in the day so I can hit them all. Thanks for hosting!

  523. I’ve just started blogging regularly this year and am loving it so far! I’m looking forward to learning a lot! And of course, meeting new blog friends!

  527. My top three choices
    #19: $50 gift card to Target from Shoot-Me-Now
    #21 $50 gift card to Target from Agoosa
    #22 $50 gift card to Target from Beginner Baby Blog

    My first blog party..what fun!

  529. Feng Shui By Fishgirl wants to give one lucky mom Master Bedroom Makeover Advice to Enhance the Romance because you deserve to be pampered and have a tranquil oasis to retreat to at the end of the day! (And, we are always looking for an excuse to PARTY!!!!!!)

  530. Wow, I think I may need to lock myself in the bedroom for a day or two so I can read all these blogs! ;o)

  531. Oh my gosh! I’m so excited. It’s been two years since my last party and I’m thrilled to be involved again! And I can’t believe how much it’s grown. How fabulous is that? 🙂

  532. Wow – some party! You sure know how to throw a good one. Don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it – and I’m excited to participate! Save some of those prizes for me:)

    Kristin

  534. finally – every time I try to comment I get a completely blank screen – the same with the links – the page has only loaded 2 times for me?? IS anyone else having this issue??

    LOVE THE cupcakes!!!!!!

  535. My first UBP! I just signed Mr Linky… so excited to meet some new bloggers and have fun!

  537. I realized a little late that I didn’t do this quite right – I listed my blog (#41 under “not so family friendly”) and put a URL to my main page. I just posted my UBP’09 party post and put up the link to THAT one instead, so you can delete my first one (#41) so it won’t be confusing – or so no one else finds out how internet un-savvy I am. 🙂 Sorry and thank you.

  539. I’m so happy to be a part of this big party! I was a little “party challenged” at first… but I’ve gotten the hang of it…. what fun!!!

    Thanks!!!

  540. This has been fun for all of us over at HomeGoods. Thanks for being such great hostesses.
    joan

  542. Oh dear…. I put my name in the “Not So Family Friendly”…. ahhhhhh, not so…. Ignore, delete…mayday, mayday…. My blog is “Family Friendly”…which I added…

    Thanks for the great party; seems the older ya get, the less parties you’re invited to. I’m getting out my go-go boots, fishnet stockings, mini skirt…whoops, make that a maxi skirt…crocheted vest…now I’m ready… Just kidding…what a visual that made 😉 (and ya wonder why I don’t get invites…hahahaa)

    Thanks for hosting and all of the great contributors….

  544. Wow I can’t believe how many links there are now! I am seriously never going to get to sleep! My children will be neglected (not likely considering their expertise in being able to get my attention quickly.) Did you ever think it would be this HUGE!?!?!?!?!?

  545. I didn’t mean to leave my name twice but I am so new I thought I better add my site name to my name. How long will you keep the friends list up on your site??? I want to keep getting through these fantastic sites and not just 20. I am brand new to blogging and am finding some awesome bloggers and info out there. Please keep a reference page with links to all of the friends above!!!!Thanks for everything you do. It is just awesome info for the newbie!

  548. I am so excited that I found your site. I was just looking around as I started a new blog and found you a couple of days ago. I don’t know if I am doing anything right when I comment or list my blog but who cares……..this is an awesome site and the prizes are awesome and the party if fantastic. I can’t wait to get started visiting blogs. Thank you for what you do to bring all these wonderful people together.

  549. I’m finally done with my party post. #1119. That’s a lot of blogs to visit within a week! Thank you for the great party!

  550. Wow! This sounds like a lot of fun and I am looking forward to getting to know some new bloggers out there in the Bloggy World! Whoo-hoo!

  576. Thanks for the party!! It is wonderful to find all these new blogs and read them! Thanks so much for all the hardwork. I feel like I am with a bunch of girlfriends.

  584. Thank You for putting on a great party I am excited to look around see other peoples blogs

  599. Awesome way to connect… love a party! This is my first! I can tell it won’t be boring!

  602. This is my first Ultimate Blog Party… I think I may have not done the whole Mr. Linky thing correctly – I didn’t add my blog party post permalink – just my regular blog link. Is there any way I can change that?

  604. Wow! Lots of people partying this year. I feel late to the party even though it’s only day 2.

    Stop on by and say Hi.

  609. This is extraordinary! After finding a simple link in one of my favorite blogs, I found all of this???? Amazing! I AM a mom AND a “Mimi.” I”ll always be too young to be a grandmother, but I love being both a mom and a Mimi, although it’s always a full time job and I wish I could find 5 minutes to myself. Can’t wait to explore more of your wonderful blog and share it with my daughters and daughter-in-love!

  611. This is cool! I don’t know if I really count as a “woman” or a “mom” but oh well… PARTY TIME!!! 🙂

  612. Yay! My first blog party. I am sooo looking forward to reading some blogs and meeting new friends! Happy parting everyone!

  613. I have added a post to my blog, added the button and hope that I will win something. I love this site!

    Bring on the action!

  619. Thanks for being the “connectors”! I’ve found some great kindred spirits in the UBP and have loved seeing “who else is out there!” I appreciate your initiative and work –

  620. This is my first time, too! I have posted my top 3 prize choices on a post on my blog. (I REALLY want the kitchen aid mixer!!!) You guys are great, and I can’t wait to start surfing the blog lists!

  623. I don’t own or run a blog site, so I don’t qualify to register for Mr. Linky, so I will be “registering” for prizes by visiting the blog sites, then coming back here and listed the prizes by number that I would like to win. If I need to do anything further, please let me know?
    I subscribe to your blog and many others by email 🙂

  633. I am a day late to the party but looking forward to visiting new blogs!

  634. Wow! Amazing to see so many people. I accidentaly posted under “non-family-friendly” and didn’t mean to, so I’ve put mine under “family friendly” now..so I don’t know if it can be fixed? Thanks for such fun gathering!

    Thanks for all the work ladies!

  669. I’ve been a mom for 27 + years. It’s not fair that we didn’t have internet back in the old days. It would have made parenting more manageable.

  671. I’m looking forward to checking out other blogs on this my first year at The Ultimate Blog Party.
    Cheers

  672. O.K. I am listed my preferred prizes. Basically, I am done having babies, so I would prefer not to get any of the baby type of prizes. This is my preference:

I have an almost 2 year old little boy so also love good for kids gc’s, amazon gc’s, soft landing gc’s, bath toys, toddler pillow, kohls gc, and potty training stuff.

  725. What an awesome party! I saw often on my blog that I love a good blog party, I am amazed at this one. I have made a top 10 list but as the week progresses I’m going to add some list that I found but just couldn’t use (I have no little ones anymore and neither do my six sisters, we need grandchildren…ha) but I loved a lot of the little stuff so I’ll plan a post for that this week.

  726. This is so wonderful! I am going to participate on Sunday for this!!! Such a great party!!!

  745. This sounds like so much fun. I am new to blogging and need some help.
    I linked my blog but under the wrong group. It went to the Not so Friendly Family group , instead of Family Friendly. Can someone help me get it off the wrong one.

    I have soooo much to learn.

    Teresa

  746. Thanks for including non-bloggers like me! This is so much fun. I am off to visit Mr. Linky and find myself some new blogs! Cindi

    I’m ready to PAR-TAY like it’s 1999!

  759. I think I did this in the wrong order 🙁

    Is there any way to delete 902 from the family friendly list? 928 is mine as well and has the proper link to my Blog Party blog. Sorry about that … I got so excited but now I know what to do!

  760. Wow, my fingers hurt from visiting so many wonderful blogs… and I’m not even past 40 yet LOL! What fun!

  761. I’ve never been to a blog party before! I can’t wait to learn ALL about it!! How fun is this!! And I never have to leave my house or clean up for company! 🙂

  762. I guess I had better make sure I post on this thread—or now chance of a winning a prize!! I’m ready to party!

    Thanks for hosting, ladies!

  784. I finally figured out how to get the button on my post. In case anyone is having difficulty, all I did was copied the code for the button and placed it in the Title of my post, it wouldn’t work in the body.

  787. This is such an awesome idea and the first one I’ve participated in! Thanks for hosting this huge event!

  996. I am so excited about this!! I just learned about this this afternoon! I am so looking forward to being part of this party!!

  1001. Just stopped by. I heard about this big party that was happening and I didn’t want to miss out on the fun. Such a great idea!

  1002. I am so excited about participating in this. I would like to link all four of my blogs here if that is possible! So far I have my main family blog here which is above.. Thanks for hosting this wonderful contest..

  1004. This looks like fun!

    I meant to go under “Not so Family Friendly” which I am there but I am in the first one too.
    Not that I use any super duper foul language or anything else, I would say I am more in between, anyways, I goofed and if you have time might want to zapp me from the first category. Sorry.

  1006. This sounds like so much fun! I can’t wait to participate in the Ultimate Blog Party.

    Danica

  1007. This is so exciting! It’s my first time and I am in awe of the awesome prizes!! I will be busy tonight checking them out 🙂

  1008. Can’t wait to check out all the new blogs & win some prizes! Have an awesome party everyone! 🙂

  1009. Great post!!!! Can you say n-e-t-w-o-r-k? Woo-hooo! Thanks so much for hosting? We are ready for some FUN!

  1010. This is the best party ever! My post is up… and I am ready to visit everyone. Have a great party and a wonderful weekend!

  1014. Ok I am going to specifically dedicate nap times to checking out other blogs.

    WOOHOO

  1015. This would be my first UBP ever… quite excited about the coming week. I can’t wait to meet some fantastic new friends!

  1017. So excited to a part of this, this year!. It is going to be great and I look forward to meeting lots of great people.

  1019. Thanks for what promises to be lots of fun. I’ve commented on 5 new blogs so far and have found some amazing prizes! PICK ME! I’m going to go do my post and link on up.

  1020. I’ve been looking forward to this party and hoped to join before labor starts in the next few days!!!

  1024. I’m looking forward to seeing as many of these sites as I can and getting to know the people behind them. I know that Mom’s can really use a nice glass of wine at the end of the day and that is why I am joining this week long party BASH! Hopefully I won’t disappoint those visiting my site.

  1025. I am having so much fun blog partying and making new bloggy friends!! What a fun idea! It was even worth staying up way too late and totally making a fool of myself at a presentation this morning, after only getting four hours of sleep… the cool thing about being a mom is that I can blame the kids when I don’t get enough sleep, so I don’t have to take responsibility for my blog addiction 😉
