Welcome to my Ultimate Blog Party Post!
please make yourself at home.
can i pour you a drink?anyone for nuts?
speaking of nuts - let me introduce you to my family
here's the girls last december hamming it up after we decorated our tree
here's my yummy husband. yes i know i'm in this photo too, but apparently women become invisible when there's a man wearing a kilt in the room!
and here i am jumping for joy (for no particular reason at all)
No party would be completed without FREE STUFF, so here it is...
kiwiana goodie package #1 will go to my 125th follower (start folllowing NOW!) (cute shoe bag, caramello easter eggs, silver fern magnet, paua earrings, and an adorable scarf!)
and kiwiana goodie package #2 will be chosen randomly from all comments.
(eco-book/recyclable bag, i heart NZ magnet, caramello easter eggs, paua necklace and kiwiana phone bling)
as usual i'm willing to post ANYWHERE WORLDWIDE, on ONE condition:
follow me, then leave me some comment love. i promise i'll do the same for you.
apparently i'm in the running for some cool prizes too! There are so many to be won at this year’s Ultimate Blog Party, but my top three picks would be:
#3 - $15 amazon voucher
#37 - earrings from lulu's hook
#38 - $25 gift certificate to collective elements
And if my top three picks are already chosen, I’d love any of the awesome bloggy makeovers on offer.
i hope you have enjoyed your visit to my blog. you had to come a long way you know. new zealand is very far.....

How have I never visited your blog before?
Wow, New Zealand! That's amazing! Have you seen me post yet about running away to New Zealand? My husband and I joke/dream about this all the time... it's his way of calming me down after a particularly rough day.... he says that if I want, he'll go buy the one-way-tickets right then.... Sell all our stuff and just start over!
I'm pretty new to the blogging world. i came across your blog through dandelion wishes which was through someone else. I am PNth! And hubby grew up in Welly. :-)

Hello, fellow mommy blogger. I have sure enjoyed the UBP. This was my first year to participate and I've loved all the blogs I've found. I have a blog at www.superfunmama.blogspot.com; It is a site about learning and other fun activities I do with my tot. I've enjoyed getting to know you and your blog!
OOH lala...I didnt notice your husband at all! WOWSERS! Stunning!
I should have had a giveaway like this! LOL. can't wait for next years party. HOPE i have more blog readers then. My giveaways were duds.
Just cruising over from the UBP to say hi :)
Awesome giveaways.
I used to live in Rarotonga, Cook Islands and we would stop by New Zealand when traveling back to our home in Hawaii.
I only remember our hotel and sheep for some reason :)
Eh, I was only 8.
Hi, I'm still blog hopping from the Ultimate Blog Party!! I hope you've had a fabulous week. :)
I have to tell you, I love your introduction, it made me laugh and made me smile. It is full of such energy and fun! :)
I hope that the week has been fine, life has been fair, and of course all full of life, laughter and love!
