I want to say a big welcome to all of the new readers and future friends from the 2011 Blog Party over at 5 minutes for Mom! It’s so great to have you here and I hope you enjoy the site. I so enjoyed last year’s party, and I can’t wait to partake in this year’s festivities.
As it says on the top of my blog, I am a frugal wife/student/mom/airman looking to share great frugal ideas, success in the world’s grocery challenges, a clean house, well-adjusted children and world domination. OK, maybe not the last one! I love to share whatever tips or tricks that I can develop in my little brain when it comes to keeping family life and finances frugal, while still keeping my home a fun place to grow and love one another.
So you can get to know me further, and my site, as well as learn a few frugal ways(and recipes) that are perfect for partying, take a gander at these links:
Frugal entertaining (tips for all year ’round)
Coin rafflle- perfect for any party!
Quick lemonade- the frugal way
Homemade marshmallows
Apple chips
chocolate popcorn
And to recover from your online party hangover:
A frugal spa day…at home!
And since 5 Minutes for Mom is so awesome, they are giving away prizes to the bloggers that are participating in the party! I’d love to win a total blog re-vamp from Creative5 Designs.
Maybe a blog re-vamp from Simply Fabulous Blogger Templates. Yes, I need a blog re-vamp. Did you figure that out yet?
Or how about an Ergo Baby Carrier(been wanting this for months!) from Heavenly Hold. That’s a great prize!
I am super excited about this party and will be ready to jump into all the fun.
Have a great week and keep this party going. Stop on over to 5 minutes for Mom and see what’s planned for us!

Hi there! I am also here from UBP and just wanted to say how cute your little girl is! I also love your great party ideas. Stop by my place and say hi sometime! http://helena-agalneedsatleast2blogs.blogspot.com/
You’ve done this before? Remember how in previous years we pick our top prizes that we want? I noticed you did that. I couldnt get a feel for whether we were suppose to do that this year. Do you think we are?
I have always put the blog makeovers as my top prizes, but not this year. THIS year I’m in love with my blog, but I moved it to wordpress and LOVE it over blogger.
I hope you win a blog makeover though, as they are SO FUN.
Hi I am common Cents mom, anoterh frugal blogger, and my daughter loves to make homemade lemonade so we will have to try your recipe.
Hi! Following you from
UBP! Hope you visit me
