Ultimate Blog Party

Ultimate Blog Party 2010
It’s time for one of the biggest blog events of the year: The Ultimate Blog Party at 5 Minutes for Mom! This is my 3rd year to attend the party, and I can tell you that it is great fun! It’s a great chance find new blogs, to meet new bloggers, and promote your own blog. There’s even a chance to win prizes! (I’d love to win #3, 15, or 35 on US/Canada list….or #32, 36, 9, or 5 on the US list!)

Thanks for hoppin’ by Simply Sweet Home! My name is Jerri, and I try to make every day a party at my blog, sharing food, fun projects, crafts, home decor, household tips, and great giveaways with my guests!

I’ve been married for 3 years to a wonderful guy named Mark.  We don’t have any kids yet, but we have 2 little “cat children” that pretty much run our lives. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy my party post!

Before I share my blog with you, would you like a piece of Darn Good Chocolate Cake?  It’s my husband’s birthday this week, and he insists that it’s bad luck if you don’t have a piece!  So please take one…or two!

My Blog Events: I’d love for you to participate in my weekly event “Friday Favorites” or one of my other upcoming events!
Spring Gift Guide 2010 – In May I’ll be highlighting some products and businesses. For a guaranteed spot in my gift guide, become a sponsor of my blog. My prices are very low, and I offer a lot of extras with the ad space!
