Ultimate Blog Party 2009 Welcome to Desperately Seeking Sanity, my little place in Cyber Space.

Allow me to introduce myself… I’m Heather, a 30 something single mom of two… I’m a corporate career gal, volunteer youth leader at the best.church.ever., girlfriend to “the boy” (who’s pretty freakin’ amazing) and I coach youth sports (softball, cheerleading and soccer…)

Yes, I sleep.

I’m glad you stopped by and I hope that you’ll leave a comment and bookmark me and oh yeah, subscribe to my feed.

There are a few other places that you can find me such as…

And what kind of host would I be if I didn’t offer a door prize. (Does anyone know why they are called door prizes? First one to leave a comment and tell me gets a special prize…)

But, one of my great friends, (who I got to meet this summer) asked me if I’d like to give something away on my blog and of course, the prize whore that I am, I took her right up on it…

so…

here’s what we’ve got…

tonitierney_bananas

This ADORABLE outfit is made by Toni Tierney come is size 6 months… it’s long sleeved, made in America and retails for $48.  Know what’s really cool?  Celebrity babies are starting to wear Toni’s designs!

If my nephew didn’t live in Florida, I would TOTALLY snatch this up for him… and I’m TOTALLY diggin’ the hear no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil… fits perfectly with me, doncha think?

So you want to win?  Here’s what you need to do:

  • Leave a comment on this post letting me (and everyone else) why you’re participating in the Ultimate Blog Party (REQUIRED)
  • Tweet this contest — Just click on the link, it’s THAT easy!   (Optional – 1 additional entry for each Tweet)
  • Follow me on Twitter (Optional – 1 additional entry)
  • Blog about this contest (Optional – 1 additional entry for each blog post)
  • Follow My Blog On Facebook (Optional – 1 additional entry)

If you already follow me on twitter or are following my blog on facebook, just add that to your comment… or make more comments.. whatever… it’s late and I don’t care… my 12 year old is going to figure this all out anyway… he’s the mastermind behind it all.. :D

I truly do hope that you’ll stick around, come back and see me… read some from Insanity At Its Best… randomly click… you’ll get some laughs and tears… and you’ll get to know the real me… and let me know where you’re hanging out… :D

Oh!  One more thing… ARE YOU or HAVE YOU BEEN a Christian Single Mom? If so (or you know of someone) PLEASE head over here and leave a comment. I’ve got something in the works that I’m VERY excited about… but I’m going to need YOUR help!

Now get to partying!

Until next time…

I would think it’s called a door prize because all you have to do to be entered is come in the door, no other requirements.

Anyway, this is my 2nd year doing UBP and I really didn’t know what I was doing last year, so this year I’m going to make the most of it. Thus, the reason I am blog hopping now while the 5MFM site is crashed!

2 Trish @ Another Piece of the Puzzle 03.19.09 at 11:44 pm

Oh, hey, I already follow you on Twitter and I just followed your blog on Facebook.

3 Jean M. 03.20.09 at 12:12 am

I came to party to meet knew people and admitedly hope to win fun stuff! I of course have to say hello to my blog peeps. :)

Do I need to add seperate comment for the twitter follower entry and facebook follow?

4 ExtraordinaryMommy 03.20.09 at 12:35 am

I believe this UBP is how I found you last year :) Happy Partying

5 Rhea 03.20.09 at 12:50 am

I’m playing this year in the blog party for the very first time! I love opportunities to meet new people and make some friends. That little monkey outfit is adorable! It’s nice to “meet” you!

6 milet 03.20.09 at 1:14 am

nice giveaway and nice meeting you through your blog.

7 April 03.20.09 at 1:26 am

just going from blog to blog to see how others do it.
gotta LOVE that money outfit. I will be a new aunt to a beautiful boy in a few months and those are the thing I want him to be wearing.
I read the post you wrote about your marraige. I want to say thank you for being so honest and hope.
I too am a christian and believe that Satan wins when we are silent about what we have struggled with, who knows who that will help.
also bless you for working with youth. I did it for a few years and it was memoriable to say the least :)

8 Cierra 03.20.09 at 1:43 am

Hey!!! Your blog looks like a blast and Im excited to check it out more.
I am participating in the UBP because it totally ROCKS! And because I love to blog and I want to meet more wonder women to love to blog also. Sometimes blogging in my only real conversation after all day with my 8 month old (lol)…
I am now following you on Twitter and Facebook! Thanks for the giveaway!

Hi and nice to meet you here :) I’m party hopping ;)

15 Deborah 03.20.09 at 6:03 am

I love these parties!

How did you do that with Twitter? Make it so all I had to do was click on your live link? I’d love to know. I have a Virtual Baby Shower coming up in May and this would be so handy for my readers who want extra points for Tweeting. Forget copy & paste!

This outfit would be darling for my soon to be nephew…due in June…in Michigan.

16 Biz 03.20.09 at 6:28 am

Very nice blog, have fun at the UBP2009 – I wish my babies were still babies, but alas, they are grown up!

17 Breezy's Mom 03.20.09 at 7:18 am

Just stumbled upon the UBP from Owlhaven so this is my 1st time to participate…sounded like fun &wanted to jump on board. :o )

18 Maureen 03.20.09 at 7:51 am

I always thought it was called a Door Prize because it was a prize for anyone who came through the door.
I love the little outfit you have for your giveaway. I have a Daycare mommy who is expecting baby boy #2 in about 3 weeks, this would be a great gift for her new little boy.
Thanks for inviting us to stop by your blog during the Wonderful Blog Party.

Have Fun!!!

20 Jenn 03.20.09 at 8:07 am

Hi! Just stopping over from the UBP to say hello! We’ve decided to party over here this year – my little one has strep throat, and nothing makes a sore throat feel better than a party! (Maybe even with ice cream!)

Happy partying!

21 Jennifer 03.20.09 at 8:40 am

Hello, just thought I’d stop in and say hello! This is one great party! Hope you’ll stop in and say hello on my blog too!

22 Beth 03.20.09 at 8:57 am

WOW! You are one busy mom! Good job! I should send my SIL over to you. She’s also a single mom. I don’t know how you do it!

This is my first UBP. I want to meet new people and make new friends! I love to read and chat with people who have some of the same interests. What better place than the UBP?
Thanks for the chance!
~Beth

25 sharon 03.20.09 at 9:46 am

Lisa

Door prize – only people who walk through the door can win….

The outfit? Cute as a button.

I am a UBP virgin and I decided to do it because I wanted to meet new people…nice to meet you!

34 Phoebe @ Cents to Get Debt Free 03.20.09 at 10:32 am

That outfit is adorable–but I don’t know anyone who could use it. :(

It’s a door prize-because there are no other requirements to win other than coming in the door.

This is my first UBP–and I’m loving it! Enjoy!

35 news around the blogs 03.20.09 at 10:36 am

I saw that a door prize is defined as: A prize awarded by lottery to the holder of a ticket purchased at or before a function.
I love seeing new blogs so that’s why I joined the blog party

36 susieshomemade 03.20.09 at 10:38 am

Nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by my party. I love the name of your blog. I can relate.

41 nic 03.20.09 at 11:18 am

i briefly considered having another child just to have somebody little enough for that superly cute outfit, but then i remembered the part about having four other kids and promptly vetoed that thought.

those are some sweet monkeys, though.

42 Amber Filkins 03.20.09 at 11:19 am

I also can’t resist a good party! And I love meeting new people. NIce to meet you! :)

43 Cent Saving Mom 03.20.09 at 11:27 am

I can’t resist a party either plus I’m totally digging being introduced to all these new blogs.

Love that monkey outfit! I do heart anything with a cut monkey on it! :)

44 Lisa P 03.20.09 at 11:31 am

46 Jamie 03.20.09 at 11:40 am

Your life sounds a little like mine – H-E-C-T-I-C! My husband says I create things that need to be done – haha! He’s not home – been away for 14 months so far (military), so it’s just me doing it all! Of course, life is good!

CUTE outfit! I participated in the blog party because I’m a fairly “new” blogger and I really wanted to take part in meeting new blog friends and promoting my blog. Thanks for asking! :)

47 Dee @ MomKaboodle 03.20.09 at 11:53 am

Great give-a-way! I don’t have a child young enough for it, but it is absolutely adorable!

48 Nicole C. 03.20.09 at 11:59 am

Great site! I found the blog party just today, and it is great, I love to find new ideas about saving money and getting together with friends! Thanks for the contest.

I’m crashing the blog party because I’m too tired to crash a traditional one. :o ) But I like checking out other blogs and seeing what other mommies have to say. I love relating to similar situations and laughing at things I thought only happened to me!

116 MomFuse 03.21.09 at 3:41 pm

I’m loving your site!! Very cool to meet you.

I’m coming over from the UBP09. The reason I joined was to meet new moms and bloggers around the blogophere. I love checking out other blogs and seeing everyone’s talent.

Great party!!!!

121 Organizing Mommy 03.21.09 at 7:04 pm

Desperately seeking… cute! I think you and I would have some things in common. If I win the contest, choose another person for the prize. I do not have little ones anymore, but the prize is very nice! I write about organization in a funny sort of way.

Why I am participating in UBP? Well, I feel obligated to.. just kidding. I think it is fun and a great way to meet new people. Trying to get to ALL of them, if you can imagine.

122 Linda 03.21.09 at 7:07 pm

It’s so nice to meet ya! I am participating in the UBP hoping to meet some new gal pals to chat with.

I would love to win this giveaway. I am going to be a new aunt in September.

124 Lolli 03.21.09 at 9:26 pm

Darn! I lost my first comment! As I was saying….I love to read logs and get comments. That’s why I’m blog hopping with the UBP. Plus, I’m giving away a huge prize on 5M4M and my blog. Come stop by my place for a visit!

Hi! I’m an avid blog READER (since I do tons of writing at work) and this is my first UBP, having stumbled on 5 Minutes For Mom about a month ago! I’m enjoying meeting new people and I think I read long ago that they’re called door prizes because you have to go through the door before you can do anything else – socialize, become friends, any kind of activity, etc.!

133 FruitfulVine2 03.22.09 at 6:35 am

Visiting from the UBP. Happy partying!

134 Carolee 03.22.09 at 7:38 am

Hmmm…I’m partying with the bloggers because…I like to party!

Seriously, I have become addicted to writing & reading blogs.

I am starting a new blog which should debut later this week which will enable bloggers to share links, favorite blogs, etc…Check my blog later in the week for furthur info.

135 DeeDee 03.22.09 at 8:14 am

Hello… I am stopping by from the UBP.. and the reason that I joined in on this fun was to meet new bloggers. (the give-aways are nice too :)
Hope you have a great week!

Hi Heather! I’m just popping over from the party link list…. finally. I love your blog… it looks like a really fun read. Can’t wait until I have time to check out more. I’m going to skip the giveaway though… my Ana is only 8 months… but she would NEVER fit into it. She’s big.

That’s awesome that you coach softball. I played in summer league for about 7 years and loved it. My 8 yr old daughter is now playing, but she’s no where near as competitive as I was lol.

152 momstheword 03.23.09 at 3:12 pm

Forgot to say why I joined UBP — sorry. I was hoping to find other book review blogs, and let’s be honest, I was hoping to gain more followers!

160 Kirsten 03.24.09 at 12:40 am

I don’t know what I like most…..the title of your blog…..or the fact that you call yourself a prize whore. Seriously here I am up by myself laughing on the computer…

161 Terra Heck 03.24.09 at 12:44 am

Cute outfit! I do not have a blog, but I love reading others. I enjoy getting tips and advice. I like reading reviews and entering giveaways. I’ve came to the UBP to check out the numerous blogs that are out there.

164 Craftola 03.24.09 at 5:20 pm

It has been so enjoyable for me to be able to check out all the many new blogs and meet so many interesting people this week! So glad I am participating in the UBP this year!!

After thinking about everyone who has stopped by to “party” here at Craftola this week, I have decided to do the drawing for my “Hand Made Giveaway” and all others who visited will also receive something from me, too. Just my way of saying “thank you for visiting”…

Spread the word. Craftola will be drawing for my give away on Friday at 6 p.m. EST. The winner will be notified and posted here next week. All others will receive a little prize from me via email… it will be something I think everyone might use.

Happy UBP! Cheers!!!!!

Hey, just dropping by to work the room a bit. If my 3 year old were so big I would jump all over that romper set. Alas….

Anyhoo, totally fun blog. When you find that sanity, send it my way!

Toodles,

176 Phil Anderson 03.26.09 at 1:13 am

I have a couple of comments: I love the name of your site, very witty. I also liked the title of your blog post. It reminded me of…”grab your coat and take your hat….”
Some constructed criticism is your content is difficult to read because it’s too light. Also, I found it difficult to find where to even make these comments. Other than that I loved your site! Keep up the good work.

177 Sheila@Pieces 03.26.09 at 7:23 am

Hi Heather! I’m stopping in from the UBP! I love that outfit…sure wish my girls were still babies…they grow so fast! Great giveaway!

178 Katy Lin 03.26.09 at 9:15 am
