Ultimate Blog Party

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!

Friday Favorites - I host this weekly linky event. Stop by and link up your favorite post of the week from your blog. Each week I'll feature bloggers who participate!

Sweet Thursday - This is my monthly dessert carnival where everyone shares  a dessert that falls under a particular theme. To be featured in my post you can email a submission to me before the event, or you can stop by the day of the event and leave a link on Mcklinky. Next Event - Cupcakes & Muffins on May 27.

Holly Bloggy Christmas Bash -  Last year Simply Sweet Home and 4 other blogs hosted this week long Christmas linky event.  I'd love for you to come back for the 2nd annual HBCB.

Current Giveaways:

Ad Space Giveaway - In honor of the UBP, I'm giving away a month of ad space for free.

Everyone who comments on my party post will go into the drawing, which I'll do some time next week!
