The UBP 09 is brought to you in part by ScottsMiracle-Gro GroGood Campaign. |
Were you partying with us this week???

What a whirlwind! The blogosphere was rocking this week as Moms everywhere linked up and partied virtually and ‘In Real Life’.
If you’re like most of us, you still didn’t get to visit nearly the number of blogs you wanted to… but don’t worry… the week may be over, but the Ultimate Blog Party 2009 Post with Links lives on forever!!!
So, just keep blog hopping and finding new blogs for as long as you want.
Pamela from Happy Panda will start drawing names and sorting out the hundreds of prizes this weekend and we’ll announce the enormous list of winners on Tuesday.
To be eligible for a prize, make sure you have left a COMMENT on the main UBP 09 Party Post before midnight Eastern tonight.
Thanks to Barbara Jones, we enjoyed live performances from Chris Mann, Leslie Mills and Diane Birch. We live streamed the parties on our Ustream.tv channel and had a blast chatting live with the performers and the guests.
We made #ubp09 a trending topic Twitter on the UBP 09 opening night with our Site Warming party hosted by Resourceful Mom. And on Tuesday night, we joined an unbelievable panel at Girls Night Out (#gno) on Twitter hosted by Jyl and Carissa.
The Ultimate Blog Party 2009 Party Post has thousands of entries in the Mr. Linkies — including hundreds of Facebook and Twitter profile links — and it will live on forever so that you can keep coming back and finding new blogging friends.
As one party-goer said:
“I’m leaving a permanent link on my sidebar to this party post with all the links to the bloggers (and twitterers and facebookers).
What a wealth of new blogs to find and explore and meet!”

We had fun prizes for our Tweetup and Twitter parties thanks to:
Olive GardenOlive Garden sponsored the Orlando Tweetup where Janice and 16 of our peeps met and enjoyed an authentic Italian dinner at the Olive Garden. During our busy party week, Janice was actually in Orlando filming a fun TV spot with Chef Marie from the Olive Garden. And we’re working together with the Olive Garden to bring you culinary tips and more chances to win. |

The party was great! Next time I hope to be a little more organized and a lot less overwhelmed with other things so I can participate in more. I met a lot of great bloggers and really enjoyed viewing their blogs.

I had a lot of fun visiting other blogs at the UBP. I am also looking forward to returning to the list to visit more. It was huge, that’s for sure!
Colleen says
I barely made a dent in the link list… so I’m just slowly blog hopping my way down the list. There are just too many good blogs to miss… I’ll just be the latecomer to about 1000 parties. Yikes!
Carebear says
That was awesome! Can’t believe how many participants you had! Wish I’d gotten in on the party earlier, but I’m happy to know you’ll leave up Mr. Linky so I can still go meet new bloggers. Thanks!
Donna Holmberg says
I had great fun, increased my Twitter count GREATLY, added a bunch of new friends on Facebook, and read more blog posts this week than in the last 6 months (I think).
What a fabulous time it was!
CosmoMama says
I can’t say enough about how much fun I had this week. Even though I didn’t party as much as I had planned (my BFF had a baby, and I got SERIOUSLY sidetracked!), I had a blast reading blogs and receiving comments. This is a fantastical way to network!! Viva la UBP!!! 🙂

Tarasview says
thanks to you guys for all the hard work you did to make the party a success! And you are right, I didn’t get to visit nearly as many blogs as I wanted to but I DID find some excellent new ones to add to my google reader 🙂
Hope you are able to enjoy your weekend- wave to the ocean for me 🙂
Carrie says
Thank you, girls. I had the time of my life — with a record number of comments (it gave me a little thrill each time a new comment came in on my e-mail!). I loved getting to know new bloggers, and will take away at least 2 regular reads from this. Thank you!
Kari says
Awesome!!! The BEST bloggy party EVER! Thanks girl…once again it totally rocked!!! 😀
Jo says
I was brand spankin’ new to the blogging thing when I came across your party and joined in on the fun. Thanks for hosting this! I don’t think my blog would have had as many readers if it wasn’t for the party! It’s really encouraged me to continue writing and developing my blog. And I’ve been introduced to so many wonderful blogs and bloggers as well! Thanks again!
Denene says
What an incredibly fun time!
Dominique says
Thanks for hosting such a fab party. I met many new great moms and dads through it 🙂
Anne says
Thank you guys so much! I had a blast meeting new blogger moms, and of course, winning an incredible prize!!
Arin says
I don’t think I made a comment-I couldn’t check it today because my computer would freeze everytime I would go to the post page saying a script was causing the problem. Is there anyway you can check??
Kristen says
Thank you for hosting! This has been a great way for me to expand into the blogging community. Cheers!
Kristen M. says
