Hey everybody!! Welcome to 1stopmom. Time really does fly because it is once again time for the Ultimate Blog Party. Woo hoo! In case you don’t know what it is all about check out 5 minutes for Mom. It is not just for bloggers. I am going to try to keep it short and sweet, because I know there are lots of blogs to visit lol.
About me:
I’m Tricia (Latricia) Let’s see, I am a stay at mom of four. Three girls (16, almost 12 and 7) and one boy (10).I am married to my best friend in the entire world. It will be 14 years in June. I am not at all a perfect mom and I don’t try to be. At least this week! I love to laugh at myself and don’t mind if you join me. I blog because of the community behind it. I like being able to share the ups and the downs of journey I am taking. Learning to be me. I think I have the most fun discovering new blogs and meeting other moms and dads. It may be virtual but it means something to me 
I have quite a few interests which include:
And I love to talk about it all, lol. So welcome, take a little time to look around or bookmark me for later.You can read more on my about page. Here are a few of my favorite posts:

Hey Tricia, thanks for coming to my party. I see you partying over here.
Hi!
We like bacon at our place too. There’s rarely a day when you can’t get some out of the fridge. It goes on everything! Salad, pizza, pasta, hamburgers, sandwiches. … … …
I also read a lot – I’m a romance junkie, but I like historical non-fiction (true crime, books about historic events – not so much political)

OH, my goodness — I am HORRIBLE at video games. . . .I’ve never even been able to master DUCK HUNT (since we’re talking old school Nintendo).
Hi..I am here from the UBP and I love reality shows and paranormal shoes too. Nice to meet you..I will be back visiting soon.
Hope your having fun with the UBP! I enjoyed your post about what blogging means to you. I somehow wore out a laptop I got in 2007 so I took over my husband’s laptop and now it’s missing one of the keys. Er, I don’t think that means I’m on it too much. Right? Great meeting you.

This is so fun. Thanks for offering this fun prize.
Hi there. Greetings from Miami, FL. I’m stopping by to toss confetti, pull up a virtual chair and party with you. Let’s have some fun!
I’ve got my Ultimate Blog Party 2010 post up at Dayngrous Discourse. Plus, I’ve got my first giveaway too. I hope you’ll surf on over and say hello.
It’s you’re the tweetin’ kind, I’m @Dayngr on twitter.
Hi
Thanks for stopping by my blog party.
My husband loves video games, so we have quite a few game systems in our house.
I am a nonblogger but I am enjoying the UBP Hopping! I hope to visit everyone!
Happy UBP! I love the show Supernatural too. I think Sam and Dean could get me to follow them anywhere.
Come belly up to the bar at my party here and check out my giveaway here.
BTW, I’m also hosting a book challenge on my blog. Check it out and feel free to join.
I always feel so guilty cause i talk to yall on the forums and then i get to your blogs and realize i havent been here in a while and all i can say is that i suck.

Hi Tricia!
Stopping by from 5 Minutes For Mom’s UBP2010, I’m fashionably late as per usual, but that’s not stopping me!
You have a terrific blog. I LOVE Supernatural so you are already a winner to me! And I’m lost without a book too. So there’s 2 things we have in common. I have a feeling we’re going to be great bloggy friends!
Thank you, I’ve really enjoyed my visit.
I am now your newest follower. Come and visit me at Brea’s Befuddled Brain and if you like what you see, help me achieve my goal of reaching 100 followers by my birthday on 2nd May. If I make it, I’m doing a give-away to celebrate!
I hope to see you soon! We can talk Sam and Dean-isms.
