Hey there, party goers — I’m so happy to see you!
It’s exciting to have party guests over here for the Ultimate Blog Party 2011.
My name is Victoria. I’m a broadcast journalist and mom living in Manhattan.
This is the first time I have participated in the Ultimate Blog Party. I can’t wait to learn about everyone who stops by.
I’m giving away a Pink Lining brand “Yummy Mummy” diaper bag – valued at $125. It’s listed on the Ultimate Blog Party prize page (prize # ) – so if you like it, remember to put it on your wish list!
I started 24 7 Victoria in December 2009 to blog about my life because living in the city that never sleeps keeps me busy. This blog is a look at what I’m doing (almost) every day.
I like to learn something new every day — like make sushi.
I love listening to Adele, solving Wheel of Fortune puzzles before anyone else, choosing a daring Essie nail polish color, traveling to an island I’ve never been to and cooking family style meals.
You can find out more about me by reading my 100 Things and from looking at my Life List.
I’d love for you to follow me on Twitter and “like” my Facebook page.

Make sure you also follow me on Twitter and “like” my Facebook page.
I’ll choose the three winners on Friday, April 8, 2011 at 12NOON EST and announce it on this blog post!

OH that bag is certainly YUMMY!
So awesome to “see” you in the blog hop!!
So great to “see” you too
Thanks for stopping by, lady!
Hi Victoria – just stopping by to say hi as part of the party route. Feel free to visit our blog – http://yoursfaithfully.ca/blog/?p=203. Enjoy the party.
A broadcast journalist sounds like so much fun! I’m a teacher…want to switch jobs for a day?!? Haha!
Let’s get the party started I had a ton of fun last year as well and am sure this year will be no different (maybe only better! Haha!)
Uh, that would be a NO. lol
I have a feeling that’s the one job I would probably leave at the end of the day and go straight home to sleep. The idea of 30 screaming five year olds scares me
Thanks for stopping by!
Stopping by from UPB11. Great to meet you! There are so many fun blogs to visit! If you have time, I hope you’ll stop by:

Hope you’ll visit my party: http://momandmore.com/2011/04/2011-ultimate-blog-party-welcome-to-mom-and-more.html
Hi! So funny that you like to solve the WOF puzzles first!
That’s so me! Anyhow, the food I’d grab is a piece of a chocolate
bar…thankfully I don’t keep them around so I usually have to get
something healthyish instead… So I usually drink a warm up of
Pomegranate White Tea! That usually soothes me. Hope you visit my
party…
http://www.fitmomsfitkidsclub.com/2011/03/time-to-party-the-ultimate-blog-party-2011-is-here/
Sometimes I get on such a roll solving the puzzles that it seems like I’ve had to have watched the episode before. So weird.
I love Pomegranate. Never had it as a tea before but I’m sure its just as delicious. Thanks for stopping by! I’m announcing the winners next week for the TurboTax giveaway.
I’m here from the UBP adding your blog to my blogroll list page since I’m here! barb g. directorylanesuperstore(at)gmail.com
Stopping by from the UBP – love your post! Can’t wait to read more about your adventures!

Hey – stopping by and partying through UBP!
About this food…do cocktails count? When stressed, I like to reach for an old fashioned. It does have muddled fruit.
I love making stuff too. I just finished a basic codex class and made my first book. Yay!
My mother-in-law is an amazing artist and she lives with us – so we always have a messy project going on. Lots of love and lunacy in our multigenerational home.
Happy Friday!
My dear, they absolutely do count! lol
Thanks for stopping by!

I’m loving that bag, thanks for the giveaway.
I’m following you on Twitter as @Tara_MommyHaha
Goodness.. it’s Super Mom, hello!!!
Thanks for stopping by!
How dreamy it would be not to own a car – that is my goal someday too – to live in a city and walk or take the subway like I did years ago. Of course, I’m curious the A list actor’s name! Looks like you’ve had a lot of good times.
Party on!
Party on Carma! I’m making my way over to your post now
Thanks for stopping by!
very cute bag
Stopping by from the party. Thanks for sponsoring a prize!
Stopping by from the party to say hi. I would love for you to stop and say hi. I love making new friends…and have made some fantastic new ones already today!
Happy partying!
Hello, Hello! I’m in from UPB and I definitely don’t have your life, but would love to occasionally read about it! One comfort food I love to go to is graham crackers and milk. Unfortunately, it is really fattening and my metabolism just doesn’t let me do that anymore.
I’m one of your newest followers! Visiting from the UBP11! Hopefully you can stop by our blog and follow back! Party on!
Krissy @ Mommy Misc
Oh we like Wheel of Fortune too!
My fav. snack I reach for is crackers (Ritz, Cheez-Its…whatever).

Hello from UBP!! What an exciting life you lead!
Happy partying!
Victoria, we have something in common–I’m a broadcast journalist as well! I think it would be incredible to live in Manhattan–in my opinion one of the most exciting places in the world! Hope you’ll stop by and visit my blog.
Hey Cindy! I tried to post a comment on your blog but it sent me a Blogger sign up page
I admit, I clicked your link from UBP because you have the same name as my daughter and my mother. I think it’s so cool you do broadcast journalism. What’s your favorite part about it?
It’s a great name
I definitely love the viewer response. Getting an email or a tweet about something I said or did is pretty fun
Thanks for stopping by!

when i am stressed i reach for the ice cream
So do I. My go to were two flavors of Ben & Jerry’s — creme brulee and Willie Nelson’s Peach Cobbler. They scream summer and well, no season is better
Last day of the party – but better late than never. Stress – during the day I reach for peanut butter. During the night, I creep over to the other side of the bed to wake a sleeping husband.
