Welcome to the Ultimate Blog Party 2013. This is the 3rd year I have participated, and I am so excited - I look forward to this event all year long! (UBP'11 and UBP'12)
My name is Ashley - I am a stay at home mom to 2 rambunctious little boys - they definitely keep me on my toes! I am a Disney lover (we honeymooned at the Grand Floridian in 2006 and enjoyed a family vacation at Bay Lake Towers in 2011) My hubby and I have been married for 7 years; in addition to staying at home with my boys, I blog here at Tales of Mommyhood, at CHEO Moms and Dads, and I am an Independent Norwex Consultant.
I am looking forward to doing some major blog hopping over the next few days - and hope to get to know some of you. I would love for you to leave me a comment and tell me a little about yourself.
As a blogger, I am always on the lookout for guest posts, so if you have something you would like to contribute, feel free to send me an email, or DM on twitter or facebook. You don't need to be a blogger, if you have an interest in baking, cooking or crafting - I would love to have you write something (original content only please)
I am not a huge party goer, but my PERFECT party would include the following things:
my family, friends, good food, cake or cupcakes, music and laughing - what about you? what would be a MUST HAVE at your perfect party?
Grab a slice of cake and settle in for some great fun, neat blogs and new friends!
Now - how about some giveaways? I have 2 great giveaways going on for the UBP '13. (one for Canadians and one for Americans) Use the Rafflecopter forms below to enter; (please read the terms/conditions before hand)

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cake!!! I want to learn how to do that :) Thanks for stopping by my party!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment! It is pretty simple to do; use a 1M tip and pipe rosettes (start in the centre and pipe outwards - kind of the opposite of most cupcake icing where you start outside and work your way in)
DeletePink sea turtle would look adorable on the baby girl :). Happy Ultimate Blog party!. So excited to follow new blogs..

Hi! I also had a UBP post :) I am also Canadian and my name is Ashleigh lol- so nice to you! The cake does look delicious but I would have to do it over as a gluten free version. I love DisneyLand but haven't been there since I was 7. I would love to take my son there.
