Welcome, UBP visitors! So glad you’ve decided to stop by. My name is Amy, and I’ll be your host here at Earnest Parenting. Basically we write about….parenting here. Betcha didn’t see THAT coming, did you? I’m the homeschooling mother of two sets of twin boys that alternately drive me crazy and keep me laughing. Earnest Parenting is about celebrating, encouraging, and commiserating the ups and down of parenting.
I am so excited to be offering a prize this year: $100 gift certificate to restaurants.com, instantly redeemable at thousands of restaurants in the US. There are tons of other fantastic prize offerings. To win, go to the UBP main page and click on sites in the Mr. Linky. There are a few rules, see the UBP rules post for the exact procedure. And good luck! I hope you win something big.
On Fridays, we’re all about having fun. Feel free to explore the Fun For Your Friday blog carnival. And hey! Feel free to submit a smile of your own soon.
Earnest Parenting: help for parents who attend UBP2010
I’m so glad I found you through UBP! I have to tell you I think your header is just the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I particularly like “Captain Earthquake”‘s expression – I’ve seen that look on my youngest’s face SO many times and it always means trouble for Mom! I am now a subscriber and looking forward to reading your ebook as well.
Awwww, shucks Angie! Thanks for the compliment. I have a photo of the Captain with that exact expression and I was so pleased when the artist captured it so precisely. Hope you enjoy the ebook! Hey, you should enter some of your Feel Good Friday posts in my blog carnival! It’d be a perfect fit. Check out the Fun For Your Friday posts, okay?
Hi Amy! I’m visiting from the UBP. How wonderful to meet another Christian Mom who thinks parenting is the best thing we do! I only have one, (praying for more!) but my cup runneth over.
Hope you have a great day!
Hi Sharon, so glad you stopped by! Nice to meet you. I love your blog (and chocolate too!). 🙂
Coming over from the Ult blog party! My 1st time attending. I love the giveaway you are offering!
Jennifer, glad you stopped by! I keep wishing everyone luck with the prizes lol. I hope you win something, especially mine!
Stopped by from the UBP. Two sets of twins? And you still have hair? God bless you. lol. Love your blog design. I’ll be back to visit soon. Blessings, SusanD

SusanD, yep I still have hair. Although I’ve definitely ripped plenty out and thrown it at them on occasion. Thanks for the blessings, they’re always appreciated!
Thanks for donating a gift to UBP! I love restaurant.com! We use them a lot!
I just saw that you have two sets of twin boys…what a blessing! That is great! Looking forward to reading more of your blog!

Hi Jenni, thanks so much for stopping by. I’m really excited about donating the prize this year…I almost stalked the 5M4M site waiting for the prize post to go up. I love presents!!
Hi Amy I am coming by from UBP! I am a stay at home mom to 3 and love any to read about parenting and kids! I just subscribed to your emails. Look forward to learning more about you.
Have a great weekend!
Hi Jen, nice to meet you. UBP is a great new friend finder, in’nt it? I’ll shoot you an email with the ebook link. You’re entitled to it!
Hi,
Stopping by from the UBP event. You have a cool blog.
I am a single mother raising a teenage boy so I know the earnest parenting.
Would love for you to come over to my blog’s party to see how to find hi-end fashion on a low budget.
Check it out at http://taiyonsimage.blogspot.com
Hi Tyesh, I can NOT imagine what a tough job single parenting is. You have my respect. I’m not terribly fashionable, so stopping by your blog to learn a trick or two may be just the thing!
stopping by from UBP…enjoy the party and those twins x2 🙂
Hi gigi, thanks for joining the party! I’m having a great time so far. You?
hi! love your superhero family 🙂 Enjoy the party!
Hi Wendy, thanks for the compliment! So far the party is fantastic! I love how many new people have taken the time to say hi.
I just stopped by for the party. We have 4 kids, but no twins. I always wanted twins though. Can’t wait to look around.
Hi Jennifer. Twins are fun! And annoying. And fun! Just depends on the moment I guess. I’m getting better at the fun part as of late. Hopefully I can keep that up. Thanks for visiting!
Thanks so much for providing a great prize. I found you from the prize list, still working my way down the blog lists :D… Nice to meet you, I tweeted you too 😀
Tara, thanks for visiting! And you’re welcome for the prize, I hope everybody wins. Thanks for the tweet too!
You caught my attention with the restaurant coupon. I don’t have my Ultimate Blog Party post up yet, but it should be there tomorrow. Nice to meet you. 🙂

Hello, I’m here for the party!
My name is Niki and I am your newest reader. I look forward to reading on to get to know you better.
Come on by and visit me during the party; I’m hosting a giveaway you won’t want to miss!
Hi Niki,
I just visited your blog. Great giveaway! Hope you get lots of entries on your post.
Hi. I’m another homeschooling momma on the UBP! I don’t have twins…but I have a set of “Irish twin” girls, and two little girls I babysit for (not even sisters with each other) whom people think are my other twins. Too funny. Hope you can stop on by my place (#225) this week, too: http://tinahollenbeck.blogspot.com/2010/04/2010-ultimate-blog-party.html.
Hi Tina, so nice to meet you! Wow, that’s a lot of estrogen flowing around your house. I drown in testosterone over here. I will be stopping by your blog…..now!
Nice to meet you, Amy! I signed up for rss. I hope you’ll stop on over to my blog http://writingtodistraction.blogspot.com.
Happy blog party!

Hi Stephanie,
So glad you could visit! I’m on my way to visit your blog next!
Hi,
I have my name down for your giveaway.
It would be nice to win it. We’ll see.
Actually I have my name down for the whole gamut.
Would love to have you visit my blog sometime.
LOL, Michelle. Good idea, covering all the bases! Good luck on winning a prize and thanks for visiting!
I like your parenting blog. I have one too, stop by for a visit. Happy Blog Party… it’s so nice to meet you… am definitely bookmarking your site since we have so much in common… God bless!
Thanks for visiting Parenting Guide! I’ll be stopping by shortly. Got hung up with a migraine and lost too much time this week. 🙁
Oh well. I can still be cheerful and party on by myself. Right?? Right.
Nice to meet you Amy!
I love meeting other Christian moms blogging and as a fellow redhead, I love your passion for your family.
I too am married to the most perfect man whom I love and adore more than I ever could have imagined and amazing to me, he loves and adores me too! Weird!
I have 4 children no twins though, my hubby’s saying everytime I found out I was pregnant was, “I am outta here if you have twins.” lol. 🙂
God knows what we can handle, that is for sure! Blessings to you!
