Welcome Ultimate Blog Party people! Thanks for stopping by! I first heard about 5 Minutes For Mom when I heard Janice speak about “having the nerve” at the Start Up Princess Touchpoint event. Everything she said really struck a chord with me. Janice and Sue have been able to accomplish so much just because they have the nerve to go after what they want. I found her presentation very inspiring! Now I just have to meet Sue and my life will be complete…. 
Well. Sue…then Ellen. THEN my life will be complete.
This is my first Ultimate Blog Party. I have done one other Blog Hop, and that was fun, so I decided to participate in this par-tay. (To comment click on the title of this post!) 
The sorts of things you will find on my blog are:
Funny conversations with my daughter, Artwork that I have drawn on my children, Blog Wars (feel free to take part in at any time), My $5 Paper Airplane Stories, My Stats, etc…
The prizes I am most interested in winning are:
#15 – $25 egiftcard to the Disney Store provided by Kristin @ Couponing to Disney
#19 – Prize Package of Preschool Toys provided by Hasbro
#39 – Be My Guest Certificate provided by Hilton Garden Inn
#46 – Scentsy Plug In and Scents provided by Amundsen House of Chaos
#58 – $50 Gift Certificate to Costumes Inc. provided by Costumes Inc.
#71 – $50 Bear Bucks card to Build A Bear provided by Liza Schwab
#104 – $50 Visa Vanilla Gift Card provided by Shoot Me Now!

Hi there – Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and commenting. I am so glad you had fun at the UBP live event last night. That was some crazy delay and some horribly fast chatting. So glad you are taking part in the UBP this year. Oh and I love the photos of Maddie with the mannequins…so stinking adorable. Have fun partying UBP style.

Stopping by from the UBP. Love the pic of you with Janice. After too many years of being too shy or too indecisive or too…you get the picture…I’m finally learning to just go after the things I want. I want to meet Ellen too; I love women who don’t apologize for who they are. Hope you have a great weekend.
Hello! Found you at the UBP. Nice to meet you! It’s my 1st blog party as well! “Perfect” haha ~ love it!! Just wanted to say “hi” and happy blog-hopping!

OK, I can tell you right now we are sooo kindred spirits. The glamour shot post?! ROFL! I have some where I have Dolly Parton hair (sadly, not Dolly Parton other things– I’m never gonna have those I’ve decided) and I’m wearing a Star Spangled bustier. Oh my george. It’s bad. My scanner’s on the fritz or I would totally join you and post.
Oh, and I found you on the UBP, and I’m adding you to my blogroll so I can maintain this ROFL, AND I’m following!
