I confess, I’m not really much of a party person, so this is the only kind of party I attend anymore! Thanks go to 5 minutes for Mom who host the annual event.
For those who are new here, I am a work at home mom of a 4 year old boy. Before I had my son I was veterinary technician for 20 years. Now I pet sit and home educate my son. I love vintage books and my son is a huge Nasa fan!
Around here we like to celebrate in small ways every day. We may have cookies for breakfast or go feed the birds instead of lessons, just because the sun is shining.
I started blogging as a way to connect to the world outside my living room and to perhaps send some traffic to my Etsy shop. Lets face it, most moms need to find a way to earn little extra money these days.
Since then, I have found so many wonderfully written blogs that inspire me daily.
Blogging has turned out to be so much more than I planned!
I now read more blogs than magazines and I look to them first for answers or information.
So feel free to have a look around.
It’s quiet here and even though I don’t have a party hat on, I'm always willing to eat cake!
There are so many wonderful prizes to be won at this year’s Ultimate Blog Party, but my top three picks would be:
1. #89 — $100 gift card to HomeGoodsProvided by: HG Openhouse
2. #1 — $100 gift certificate to either Pedal Cars and Retro or A Rocking Horse To LoveProvided by: 5 Minutes for Mom
3. #58 – Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand MixerProvided by: Moms Who Think
And if my top three picks are already chosen, I’d love any of the following (in order of preference): 19,21,22,26,91,20

I'm just going blog to blog to see how others do it, thanks for sharing
have a great weekend
love the vintage picture in this blog
Very cute blog! I think it's great that you take the time to celebrate the everyday.
Have fun blog partying!
I have to admit that I prefer small intimate gatherings than huge partes, but I'll make an exception for 5 minutes for Mom. I like the way you use the vintage pictures in several of your blog posts. Nice to stop by and look at your blog!
Happy Party Day , I am glad to have found you.
Stopping by to say hello! Great party...stop by for your chance to win my door prize.

I love the picture you chose for this post! Beautiful. Have fun at the party. I'll be sitting in the corner watching the action. I am shy.
What a beautiful blog~
Have a great weekend and happy blogging.
My sentiments exactly! I'm not a party animal...except for maybe a BLOG PARTY! :)
Now, I am a party animal.. just joking. Thanks for coming to my blog also for the upb at 5 minutes for mom. We homeschool also. Cute vintage things.
So nice to meet you. I've having a blast meeting other people and their blogs.
Hey! Party it up! Happy UBP 2009!!! I sent you some AD click love! Have a great weekend!!
Hi - party hopping - I am inspired by so many other blogs as well
Your graphic is GREAT!
Nice to meet you!
Talk about a party!
I'm quite intrigued and am learning how to get around!
Just stopping by from 5minutes for moms blog party!
Wow! You've had a lot of visitors. I love Etsy also, but haven't created enough patterns to open a store yet. I hope to do so soon.
Thanks for visiting SquigglyTwigs.

I am part hopping and it is nice to meet you!
Hi, this is my first blog party and I'm having a blast meeting new people and reading new blogs. It was very nice to have met you.
I'm like you, but I don't know how to make a blog site. Thanks for the party.
Your blog is adorable!! Thanks for taking the time to say hi!! I look forward to reading more.
Nice to "meet" you! I'm off to check out your etsy shop :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your blog is adorable, I love reading about what other homeschoolers are doing with their kids :)
Congrats on staying home and being around your younger son to teach! I think that is wonderful! Now I have to go check out what you were hinting on.
When I pulled up your party page, there were only six comments...I bet there are tons more now (but I haven't been able til comment til today).
It's fabulous how the party links so many new bloggers together! Your story sounds similar to many--we blog to connect with others. THIS is the perfect chance to CRASH into LOTS of others (hehe).
I'll have to click over to your Etsy store...those simply amaze me.
Hope you have a FABULOUS week!! :)
Hi! I'm just blog hopping through the party link list. I've posted pics of what our parties used to look like pre-kids. Otherwise... I'm not much of a party person any more either.
Stop in on my party if you've got a minute!
Hello there. Knocking on your door from the blog party. Hope you don’t mind.

Hi and thanks for visiting my party post! Just stopping by to check out your party and wish you happy blog partying! :)
Love your retro picture at the top of this post. Very neat. Happy party hopping during UBP!
Hello! I am so glad that I stopped by! You have a wonderful blog, and cute things in your Etsy shop! I hope that you have an opportunity to stop by and visit as well. Take care, and happy UBP!
You have a cool site. I am going to show it to my mom. She told me about the blog party at 5min4moms, so I wanted to visit your site. My name is Becca and I have a website about cooking and easy recipes for kids. Have your kids who like to cook stop by for a visit. We have videos of other kids cooking to make cooking easier. Thank you and have fun at the blog party!

I'll definitely have to check out both your blog and your Etsy shop more later... (I'm just bookmarking everyone right now, while I blog-hop my way through the party :-p)
Feel free to check out my blog, too! While I found the party too late to be part of the official prize giveaways, I do have a door prize at my blog: I'm giving away a free print copy of my book, "Two Snowflakes." Here's my address: http://twinhappyjen.blogspot.com/
It was nice to meet you!
I'm on my best behavior since it's nice and quiet here. Passing through during the party and it's nice to meet you.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Have a great time with the blog party.
I'm late to the party as usual, but better late than never. I enjoy your blog and I'll be back when I have more time.
I'm not much of a party person either. And I didn't participate in UBP as much as I would have wanted. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, though!
Here comes the prize train....TOOT TOOT!!!! You're a winner, stay tuned!
oh wait all your prize choices are gone! What now? Contact me happypandababy(@)gmail(.)com and reference #4.
