Ultimate Blog Party 2011

Ultimate Blog Party 2011

It’s Ultimate Blog Party time! This is my FIFTH Ultimate Blog Party party! At the very first blog party I was a newbie blogger (in a sea of newbie bloggers). My second party I embraced the random, the third I was the new mom of 2. And last year? Well, I gotta say, I love that post & wish I could just re-post it this year (only it has  LOST reference in it…anyone else still missing Sawyer?)

And here’s the thing, after 5 years of Ultimate Blog Parties (and a few years of Blog Hops) not to mention an About Me or two, it’s hard for me to think of a good creative way to introduce you to my little piece of the internet pie. So, I decided to well, get to the heart of the matter. I want you to love me. I want you to connect with me online. So, here we go, my last few social media updates & places to find me. (Believe me, you’re gonna like this…)

Last Facebook Update:

{aahhh, my TV habits for all to see…}

Last Twitpic:

{Yeah. That would be ME inside Cinderella’s Castle during the Social Media Moms Conference. More to come on that…}

Last Twitter Update:

{No commentary needed.}

And the last post I stumbled:

{Look at that! I reviewed this post & it got over 5k hits! Tell me you don’t want me to stumble you!!}

The last thing I tumbled:

{This is a great post by my friend Katie. And it’s perfect for a big Meaningful Easter linky on my Impress Your Kids blog Monday! Don’t miss it!}

And my last pin:

Do you pinterest yet? I am totally copying this Art Party for my daughter one day. I love me a good birthday party.

So, do we have anything in common? Did you find a social media platform for us to connect on? Just click the pictures above and they’ll lead you to…well, me! And don’t forget you can always subscribe to my feed or get updates in your inbox. Or you know, just leave a comment. I’m easy. 🙂

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!

As part of today’s party, I want to introduce you to some of my favorite bloggy frirends! There are 10 of us who each have a word photo included in their post. These words make up a sentence. We will each link you up to the girl who has the next word in the sentence—but keep in mind that I might not have the first word in the sentence! Here’s my part:

{yes, I wrote that. “doodling” was my major in college.}

Once you have the sentence, e-mail it to sisterchickies@gmail.com with “UBP11″ in the subject line. Each person with the correct sentence will be in a drawing to win a $100 Target gift card! The winner will be announced on all of our blogs on April 11 and the winner will be e-mailed. The winner has 48 hours to respond or we’ll pick someone else.

Now, go visit CHRISTINE from iDREAMofCLEAN for your next clue!

  3. Hi Amanda! I just found pintrest (o.k., my daughter told me about it) and LOVE it. So beautiful. I met you at Blissdom this year–that was fun! So there are a couple of things we have in common! Oh, and I love Mary too! Three! 🙂

  6. Hi there!

    What a cute post! Really liked it. I have to try and follow all the clues because I LIVE at Target! Also see you like to post on Disney. Be sure to check out my blog as well! I plan Disney trips for FREE, so if you ever need some tips, stop on by and visit!

  7. Very creative! Looking forward to linking up tomorrow! (You are so good with the social media thing. I don’t even know what some of those things are that you highlighted. Help me!)

  9. Wow! I thought I was Social Media Savvy!
    Totally wishing that I’ll get to go to SMM at Disney one day. My day will come!
    It’s so great to “meet” you!

  11. I think doodling was a great major for you to have in college! 🙂

    Dropping by from UBP11! I’m doing giveaways over at my place…stop by!

  12. Hi Amanda,
    Have I mentioned how much I love your blog. I stop by way more often than I comment but the UBP seems to be a great reason for a comment 🙂 Is it funny that I feel like I need a reason?

  17. Wow! You’ve done all 5 UBP parties… that’s pretty cool! This is my 2nd year participating! I just recently decided to start on Stumble too. I love the giveaway to find the words… great idea! I’m following you now! Would love a visit when you get a chance too. 🙂

  18. This is kind of off topic but can I say God is Good! I started the blog party at Giving up on Perfect and have followed it along and then I saw the last thing you tumbled – Katie Orr Two Fun Ways to make Easter all about Jesus. Yes – An answered prayer! Which then lead me to the book Treasuring God in our Traditions. The Lord answers our prayers in many different ways and I feel blessed for having your blog put in my path today!!

  20. I’m visiting from the UBP and you look like such a fun person! I have subscribed to your blog and look forward to getting to know you more. 🙂 Sometimes I feel like there are so many fabulous women of God out there that I wish I could get to be friends with, but I guess we’ll have all of eternity for that. 🙂 Feel free to come by and visit my blog. Blessings!

  22. I don’t know how you have time to do all you are doing. You are truly inspirational!

    Stopping from the Utimate Blog Party!

  23. such a perfect “little bit of everything” post!
    I have children that fight naptime (now quiet time) every day… and it’s been longer than 2.5 years! 🙂
    Not sure I have anything worth stumbling… but it would be fun to get that many hits on a post (maybe one of my cardmaking posts)!! 🙂
    avoiding Pinterest for now… I waste too much time on the computer as it is!
    I love the #sisterchicks idea.

  25. Hi there. I have come here before, but now I am here to party. And those snickerdoodles look good . . . they look like snickerdoodle pancakes. Is there such a thing – there should be.
    And I like the book “For Women Only” too.
    Come say hi over at “Tales from the Motherhood and Confessions of a Former Childhood Actress.” It’s a rager.

  28. Hi, visiting from UBP and working my way thru the scavenger hunt. 🙂 Love the TwitPic of you in Cinderella’s Castle… I really want to take my girls there someday.

  29. Visiting from UBP … though I think I’ve been by your place a time or two. LOVE your blog! Looks fun and I LOVE PURPLE!! lol

    Adding you to my feeder so I don’t forget to drop in again! 😀

  30. Hello, Stopping by for the UBP! This is my 4th year to be a part of all of the fun! Hope you can stop by my blog sometime. 🙂 I am going to add you to my FB.

  31. Stopping by from the UBP! I’ve only recently heard of Pinterest – I’ll have to check it out! I confess – I’m not really into all the different social sites!

  33. Cute pictures – we love Big Bang Theory too…but we haven’t watched it since we got rid of cable. I need to rent it on iTunes or something lol

  34. I already follow your blog & on twitter so I must say….it’s great to already “know” you! I have to check out stumbleupon more b/c I must admit I don’t really use it.

  35. Wow, you’ve got a lot of great ways to connect to you! I think I’ll pick Twitter for right now! I follow you on Twitter @Melahelen! Thanks for the fun sentence search!

  37. I knew about those other platforms but haven’t done them yet! Now I think I have to see what it’s all about! I’m missing out! Love this scavenger hunt!! Happy partying!

  41. Ok. Never heard of Tumble or Pin. Hmmm… But I’ll definitely have to follow you on Twitter, because you’re funny. 😉
    I’m doing a little giveaway, too!! Hope you’ll get a chance to check it out.

  43. Super clever! I’m stopping by from UBP11! Can’t wait to see what the sentence is. And, i’m in awe of your writing skills–very cute.

  44. Hi Amanda,
    Lovely to meet you and your blog through UPB. This is my first year and I am finding many wonderful blogs, like yours.

    Fondly,
    Glenda

    Gg – Notes on the Journey # 269

  45. Well I have only been to three blogs for this game but I know what the quote is. However, i’ll play along…because isn’t that the whole point??? LOL

    I do miss Lost.

    I would give my left leg and third born (if I get to pick) to have you stumble a post and get 5K hits. Well I’ll keep my leg. LOL. Kidding, just kidding. mostly.

    Party on.

  46. Hi Amanda,

    I feel like I’ve been here before but then I don’t think I have. I’ve been to a BUNCH of blogs this week for UBP. I’m having so much fun. I LOVE your entry. I may just copy something like it later in the week. (OH NOW I REMEMBER – I actually got here because I have your Top Ten Tuesday button on my blog. WOW – I’m a nit-whit. HAHAHAHA)

    Anyway, I have a good idea for tomorrow’s top ten list. I think I’ve only participated once. Gonna write it now so I don’t forget it. I better do it right this minute. LOL

    I’m not sure how to link my last blog post in this comment like everyone else. 🙁 I’m really not as flighty as I appear to be. Really! Ok, maybe just a little….

  49. Hi! I’m stopping by from the UBP – trying to visit all on the link for Christian blogs by the end of the day (but I’m not going straight down the list so I still have quite a few to go!). I’m #73 (Being Made New – http://tinahollenbeck.blogspot.com) on that list; I hope you might be able to pop in at my place sometime soon.

  50. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Hi there!


I like to think of fun ways to lead my kids to Jesus and I like to share them with you. If you're new here, start here for some fun family-time ideas!
