Ultimate Blog Party '09
Welcome to Tampa, Florida!
It's a party! So I did some redecorating (about a month or so ago...),
hired a new DJ (ok...changed my opening song ♥) and bought us some Diet Coke...and made my favorite cupcakes....oh and chips too! Grab that beach chair over there and scoot it closer....come on...I don't bite. Or stick your feet in the water, pop open your chilled DC and let's chat!
Welcome to my UBP! This awesome carnival is hostessed by our fabulous twin sisters over at 5 Minutes for Mom! Click HERE when you're doing indulging in my blog and visit 100's and 100's of other chick bloggers & don't miss all the Prizes over there to! My Prize is US 66! My wish list is at the bottom...

Great party, thanks!
Thanks for the snacks! Lovin' the music! Just poppin' in to party for the UBP 09! Nice to meet you! :D
I am pulling up a chair beside you to soak up some rays on the beach! And I killed all my plants too til my parents went to Switzerland for 18 mos and I was in charge of keeping their plants alive. I did pretty good and now mine are thriving too!
too funny- diet coke is my weakness too :-)
My weakness is Pepsi, I need that caffeine charge! But a sandwich just isn't a sandwich without a side of Cool Ranch Doritos.
Connecting families through story--what an intriguing idea. I look forward to learning more. Enjoy your party!
Hey Party Girl! I just wanted to say "Hey"! Come on over and sit for a spat! Happy TGIF!
I'm a Twitterer too!

I LOVE Cool Ranch Doritos and cupcakes. I kind of want to lick my computer screen because those pictures look so good. Is that wrong?
Oh, I am so glad to spend a lil time at the beach. :) I could stay all day, especially with the yummy treats!
Happy Blog Party.
Hi! So nice to meet you! I am visiting all the party goer sites. I am participating too! Party on from an old hippie grandma who is restoring an 1880 Victorian Stone farmhouse in Colorado.
Although I didn't join in the blog party this year (I have the past two years) I thought I'd drop by and visit a few participants anyway...so fun to visit here, and love the idea behind your business!
I would so love to win your giveaway if it I can be included even though I'm not officially joining the party this time!
I'm a home school mom of two girls (6 and 9) who love to write stories!

Nice to meet you. I found you through UBP and love your blog title. I DO love (and cherish) stories and have even begun to try to collect stories from my extended family as well as maintain my own! SUCH a job and I've not been doing well at it for a while, but it is in my head.
Hello! Poppin’ in from The Ultimate Blog Party…all the way from Queensland, Australia! G’Day! I hope you have time to visit my party soon.
Ta!
I want to invite you to the Mommie Daze Virtual Baby Shower that I am hosting May 15 to June 8. This is an international even and there are prizes! Stop by my blog for all the details.
Great Party, Thanks for the Beach, and Diet Coke which I gave up in Dec... Yes I know Cold Turkey, no Diet Coke since Dec.29th. I was drinking way to much soda. Water, and tea, juice, and some milk... No more soda.
Thanks for letting me stop by for a visit. Its been fun!
I'm coming over from Mormon Mommy Blogs, asking for your help. I am in the running for a round trip airfare paid ticket to Connecticut, to meet a friend I became acquainted with through blogging. She is a super fun person and is holding this contest. I entered a funny story titled "Grapejuice Floaties, Now Marry Me." The person whose story receives the most votes will win a trip to meet this generous lady, whom I'm hoping to meet. The voting ends tonight-midnight. I used to be ahead but there is a story coming up from behind out of nowhere, and it's a tight race now. I would so much appreciate your help. Her blog is www.becausemomsaidso.blogspot.com and the voting is on the sidebar on the right. "Grapejuice, Floaties" Just go there and cast a vote for me, please. Thanks so much-you're awesome! ♥♥
YOUR VOTE REALLY WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Your blog is awesome! I love your header. I wish I was at the beach lounging in a chair right now!
Have a great day!
