Ultimate Blog Party

by Kate on March 20th, 2009 | 29 Comments » | In Uncategorized

There’s a virtual party going on in the blogosphere this week sponsored by 5 Minutes for Mom. You don’t need to be a blogger to participate – just click on the image below for information on how you can get in on the fun. I’m hoping to find some new, must-read blogs and that some new readers will decide they can’t live another day without reading The Shopping Mama. (If you do happen to decide you can’t live another day without reading, consider subscribing via email or in a reader so you never miss a post.)

And now for the introduction: Hello. I’m Kate. And I’m a shopaholic. An online shopaholic, to be exact. I love shopping (and buying) for my two little ones. Toddler Boy was born December of 2006, he has beautiful blond curly hair, likes cars and “dinoshores” and is fiercely independent. (“No, mama. I do dat.”) My sweet Baby Girl was born in November of last year. She has kissable chubby cheeks, beautiful blue eyes, wannabe-curly brown hair and loves to watch her big brother play. You can read more about me and how I developed my addiction here.

Take a look around, read about my favorite Easter finds, some awesome mom crafters and enter a giveaway or two.

Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you again and enjoy the party.

There are lots of prizes up for grabs in the UBP, and my top 3 choices are Ergo Baby Carrier (#7), $50 Target gift certificate (#19 & 21) and $50 gift certificate to Paperlicious (#50). I’d also love #50, #3, #77, #79, #118.

Hi, there. Stopping over while blog hopping. I’m enjoying the UBP party. It’s in the wee hours of the morning but I have a migraine so can’t sleep. It’s nice to meet you and your blog. My blog list keeps growing. Blogs are my favorite “me” time. I have a toddler learing blog at http://www.superfunmama.blogspot.com. So nice to meet you!
