Let's get this party started!

I love parties.  When they can happen on my blog where I don’t have to do any heavy housekeeping or cleaning, they’re even better.  Welcome to the Ultimate Blog Party of 2010 sponsored by 5 Minutes for Mom.

Ultimate Blog Party 2010

My contribution is this super-easy cheese ball.

You need:

2 blocks of cream cheese (I like to use neufchatel…the 1/3 less fat stuff)
1 package of dry italian salad dressing mix

Mix all the ingredients (all 2) together.  Roll into a ball.  Roll in walnuts if you want some extra crunch. Serve with your favorite scooper.

And since we’re in party mode, let’s flashback to this adorable party picture.

UBP2010

A handshake from us–Our blog started as a way to keep in touch with out-of-town family and friends.  We gathered a broader following when we started blogging about our adoption journey.  Now it’s a place to discuss photography, parenting, adoption, cooking, traveling, being radically obedient to the Creator of our world, and anything else that pops into my mind.  We’d love to “meet” you, too. Feel free to leave a comment or subscribe to our rss feed.

There are great prizes to be had at all great parties.  This is not different.  I would be thrilled to be a prize winner of anything but I really like 31, 32, 37, 52, and 84 in no particular order.

    Hi there! You know, I stopped by your hubby's blog from the UBP linky and then clicked on yours from him and realize that I “know” you! Crazy to have the pieces fall together with bloggers you read and see on blogfrog!

    Hope you're having fun with the Ultimate Blog Party!!

    So many blogs so little time; I hope you'll stop by and visit mine!

    This is my first time over to your blog and I am enjoying having a look around. Love the party recipe!

    I need that cheese ball. Thanks for the craving, my hips appreciate it (even if it is the low fat; consuming the whole ball is not going to be goof for the figure)
    I love how you said “being radically obedient”. That puts a whole new playing field into the obedience category! I will now say that I am trying to be “radically obedient” Thanks for the phrase.
    Love your blog and will be back (please have that cheese ball and a treadmill ready for me!)
