It’s Time for the Ultimate Blog Party 2010!
The Ultimate Blog Party 2010 has officially begun! Towards the end of March Jenny posted about the annual blogging event going on at 5 Minutes for Mom and since then, I have been completely stoked for it, having participated the last two years, each time being amazed at the wonderful women I’ve been fortunate enough to meet and the new blogs I was introduced to and still read today. Finally, the time is here and I can’t wait to meet even more wonderful ladies!
So I suppose I should tell you a little about myself…
My name is Holly and I created this here website. Woman Tribune is more of a women’s magazine than your average blog. We try to post on a variety of different topics and issues that are important to women today, from the serious, like parenting, green living and ways people and organizations are changing the world, to the completely frivolous and fun entertainment industry. No one has just one interest, which was the exact concept behind the creation of this blog, being a woman of many interests myself, and also a woman who wears many different hats. While you’ll find a lot of news oriented things here, I’m always sure to add a personal touch to what I write and you’ll also be sure to find a lot of things about my day-to-day life and my family as well.
I’m 23 years old and I’m a full-time, professional blogger both here, as well as on a feminist/political website, Menstrual Poetry. When I’m not blogging, I do freelance writing, web design and development. Needless to say, I spend most of my time in front of a computer. I live with my partner of nearly 5 years, Allen, and our cat, Devin.
Yes, that is my obscenely over-crowded desk and Devin acting like she owns the place.
While we don’t have any children of our own, I get to share his two little girls from his previous marriage. Their names are Lydian, who is five and Rylie, who is four. They provide constant joy, laughter, challenges and have a tendency to consistently get me to question my own sanity. Fortunately, I happen to have a database of Disney Princess trivia stored in my head, which gives me unlimited brownie points with Rylie.
I’m really excited to be participating in this year’s Ultimate Blog Party and I also happen to have a really great giveaway going on; well, at least I think it’s pretty great! Oddly enough, coinciding my giveaways with the party was not planned, it just happened to (thankfully) work out that way.
We are giving away 10 copies of the new edition of My Little Red Book, an anthology of short stories from women of all ages, from all around the world about first periods. To win, all you have to do is leave a comment on the giveaway post telling us about your first period. Don’t worry, we’re not asking for graphic details! This giveaway ends April 14th, so go enter!
Lastly, you can follow Woman Tribune on Twitter @WomanTribune and become a fan of Woman Tribune on Facebook–if you like Woman Tribune, that is! Otherwise you don’t have to and I won’t be mad or anything!
That’s it for me! I hope you enjoyed your time here on Woman Tribune and got a feel for what I’m all about. I love meeting new, fellow bloggers and I can’t wait to meet all of the wonderful ladies participating in the Ultimate Blog Party. Happy blog hopping!

Hi, Stopping by from the Ultimate Party!! This is my first year even though I’ve been blogging almost 2 years. I always seem to miss it.
My oldest daughter is named Hollie (with an “ie”). I have a parenting blog that deals mostly with dangerous teen trends & being a single mom.

Hey there. Lydian – love that name. Close to my Lydia. Lovin’ your cat on the computer. Okay is the book really about periods as in menstrual periods? Is it just me or is anyone else wonder . . . what in the world? I guess mine was not that eventful, but you know you always wonder if anyone had white jeans on at school for their first one. Maybe that’s in the book.
Great blog and love the title

Happy UBP! Thanks for stopping by Creative and Curious Kids! Glad that you enjoy the fairy birthday party photos- it was so much fun.
Now on the topics of periods- having a hard time remembering-is this sad? But I do remember wearing white pants in hs and having an incident and a boy whispering to me about it. Ugh-not fun.
