When I heard about The Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom, I'll admit I was completely clueless! I am definitely a blogging newbie! For those unaware (like me!), the Ultimate Blog Party runs from March 2-27 and is virtual party for online friends and potential friends. You don't even need to be a blogger to participate.
Oh, the things I've learned this year! Last year I hardly knew what I blog was and why one would want to have one. Then, six months ago I ventured out into the blogging world. I started my blog for a place to share homeschooling product reviews when I became a part of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine Homeschool Crew. Now I'm partying with the best of them. If you are a homeschooler or thinking of homeschooling, be sure to visit regularly as I'll be posting many more product reviews throughout this year and next.
In between reviews, I also post about my kids, homeschooling, and whatever else comes to mind. Lots of chatter, lots of clatter and occasionally things that really do matter.
Be sure to leave a comment! If you homeschool, is there a particular homeschooling product you'd like to see reviewed? Do you have any tips for new bloggers? Share your thoughts!

Come join the party! There are even PRIZES! My top three prize picks would be:
- Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer, Provided by: Moms Who Think
- $100 gift card to HomeGoods, Provided by: HG Openhouse

Hello...
Nice Blog..
Gonna keep hoppin
We don't homeschool, but we go to a charter school and I'm pretty involved there. I love that there are so many choices for families when it comes to schools :)
Party hoppin'. I have a friend who is planning on homeschooling her son (4th grade) next year due to some learning difficulties. I'll be sending her your link for some good tips and advice.
Great to meet you! My boys are 15, 12 and 11 so I know what you mean about baby stuff:)
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am looking forward to reading your homeschool product reviews. Do you know anything about Total Language Plus? I am considering it for next year, but I don't know anyone who has used it...
Howdy from another homeschooling mom!

Hello! I've come from the UBP! :) Nice to meet you!
Hi Heidi, Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love the product reviews on your blog.
You mentioned that the "Lost in the Woods" book authors are local to you - that is SO COOl! We love that book - we also have "First Snow in the Woods" - the photography in both books is amazing!

Hi, great meeting you on UBP '09! :D
Just saying hello! I was homeschooled 1st-12th grade. I'm thinking that my mother should give some tips and advice. She's retiring this year after homeschooling for almost 20 yrs!
Well, just blog hopping along. Have a great week!

Hey, thank you for stopping by my blog on the UBP. I have one of our children at home for school this year, and so I know that those "blog minutes" are precious and can be hard to come by! :) Blessings to you as you teach today and as you blog in stolen moments. :)

Okay. I keep telling myself "Don't follow ANY more blogs!! You already have Puh-lenty!" but now here I am, and I really like the concept of your site, and I could certainly benefit from someone doing reviews on homeschool stuff FOR me! :) Thanks for stopping by. (I'll be back...)
