I always get so excited when the Ultimate Blog Party rolls around! It’s always a good time and brings back memories of when I first started blogging two years ago.
I wrote my first post on March 25th, 2010 just a few days after my middle daughter’s 2nd birthday. I was a stay at home mom of 3 girls (still am) and was looking for an outlet of sorts. I wanted to connect with others and share my stories, like these ones:
• My toddler likes to sleep naked
• What happened to my keyboard
Then just two weeks after my first blog post, I came across 5 Minutes for Mom and was introduced to the Ultimate Blog Party. I was immediately in love with the idea and wrote My First Blog Party post.
I had 58 comments on that post… I was amazed! I met some incredible bloggers and completely attribute the Ultimate Blog Party for launching my blog two years ago and inspiring me to grow my blog into what it is today.
Over the years, I evolved my blog to incorporate more product reviews and giveaways. I made the switch from Blogger to WordPress , started a Susie B. Homemaker YouTube Channel (still a newbie vlogger), and had a couple blog makeovers along the way.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I’d love if you leave me a comment!

Thank you for stopping by my place. Too bad you lost your comments in the transition to wp – I’m one of the few who is switching back to blogger – for the simple ease of things and the simple reality that I haven’t been posting that often lately. It is great that you came across UBP shortly after you started. This is my 4th year participating
Thanks for stopping by to say hi on the UBP tour! :) I’m a longtime fan here, I need to get by more often. Have a great day!

Hello fellow mom blogger. I’m stopping in from UBP. Just joined earlier this afternoon.
Reading about other moms and their young children remind me of some of the earlier days when my two were younger. they are teen and pre teen now, so it’s nice to think back and remember when we weren’t arguing, lol.

Stopping by from the party – what a great way to increase your blog’s exposure and meet new people! I love your blog design, by the way. How fun! As a fellow SAHM, I totally agree about blogging being a great outlet – and a great way to meet other people in the grownup world…
