Goodbye Ultimatate Blog Party 2010

Ultimate Blog Party 2010


Goodbye Ultimate Blog Party 2010. Okay, yes, they party does officially end tomorrow, but in all reality I should have said goodbye yesterday or even the day before. While this blog party is a great way to help bloggers meet other bloggers, I think it's just too much for me.


I love this kind of thing, but I tend to get too wrapped up in it. I am sad to say that I think I have been neglecting my child as a result. Though she is a great sport and is definitely none the worse, I think I am. This is definitely one of those times where I am thinking of myself as a bad mom. I know we all have those times, and I know that it won't last long (at least I hope not). Especially, not that I am out to amend my ways.


And this is even after following someone's suggestion (if it's your please let me know, but I have read too many posts in the past week to remember... I would love to give you credit) to choose to read the links with a similar number to you. (ie. if your link on the UBP post is 104, you will read all the blogs with a number that ends with 4). This was a great suggestion, and I found it very helpful. But, alas, my obsession continued.


I was thinking about joining in on a Friday Follow, but am wondering if I am going to have the same problem. I really enjoy meeting new bloggers, especially mommy bloggers, and growing my online "community." Does anyone have any suggestions as to how they balance it all?


And as I write this post, I am thinking about everything else that I should be doing (including eat lunch).

  1. Finish the blanket I am making for a friend who just had a baby.
  2. Clean the house
  3. Clean the study so there is room for my brother to sleep
  4. Clean the guest room so there is room for my mother to sleep
  5. Do more planning for Sprout
  6. stART project
  7. Do more with Sprout!!!
Hope everyone had a great party!

Ultimate Blog Party 2010

Ultimate Blog Party 2010

As I've been reading other Mom's blogs this week, I found the Ultimate Blog Party 2010. How could I not join? A way to meet other moms and other bloggers; I'm in.

So this is my party. My blog is dedicated to being a mom in the best ways I know how. It features what I am, what I know and what I love!

What am I?

I am a mom to one amazing and energetic daughter.
I am wife to a volunteer firefighter, who is always looking for ways to help during an emergency.
I am a daughter to two amazing parents, who were so supportive that I was able to become the mom that I am today.
I am sister to a crazy a brother!
I am a good friend to those who take the time to get to know me.
I am an environment loving, organic cooking, Jewish, Disney freak.


What do I know?  
I am a teacher by degree, by trade and by heart. As such, my blog has a variety of activities that I have done to "teach" my daughter. I hope you will look through the activities we have done and will take advantage of the activities I have already created, and give my any suggestions for future activities. Check out my Tot Packs and Folders.

I was a Religious Studies major in college. While I loved learning about all religions, this also helped me to develop a better relationship with my own.

What do I love?
I love cooking, being green, taking pictures (though most of them are of my daughter these days).

My blog is a place started as a place to share my green "mommying" with others and became a way for me to meet other SAHM's and help me to exchange ideas with others.

Now for the "paperwork." 5 Minutes for Mom asked that we list the prizes we would be interested in. Now who wouldn't be interested in prizes???

My top 3 are
My other preferred choices are 5, 17, 27, 32, 37, 43, 52 and 95. Though all the prizes look great!
I hope you'll say hi and come back to visit again, or even follow me. I love followers!
