For moms like me out there, it's time for us to party again! :)
Here comes the Ultimate Blog Party 2009, hosted by the fabulous 5 Minutes For Mom.
It's time to party and jiggle those bodies for one week of pure fun. The party actually commenced last March 20th and will culminate on the 27th.
My name is Frances (although I used to sport the name Ivan Girl) and I first joined the Ultimate Blog Party just last year. I bumped into it when I was carrying my firstborn. With a lot of time in my hands (since I already resigned from work), I was searching the virtual world for new mommy info that could help me appreciate the new life I was about to have.
Little Miguel was then 5 months old when I partied with other mommies. Now, he's already 1 year & 5 months old. Obviously, he's a year older and it's another fantastic mom blogging event of the year.
In between making our house a tidy home and changing soiled nappies, I try to sort Miguel's photos in my blog, engage in my long-time vice of reading, collecting & buying books, keeping tabs with both sides of the family as well as attending family-friendly blog events.
The Ultimate Blog Party is about
building online friendships.
It's a week long party of meeting new bloggers, reading interesting blogs and a chance to snag fabulous prizes and giveaways! So what are you waiting for? *winks*
PS1. For my top picks for the prizes, I think winning any prizes sponsored internationally will be good enough for me and very much appreciated!
PS2. I'm hosting prizes but I'm still waiting for the green light from the party prize coordinator since I'm kinda late in participating. :)
