My First Blog Award!

This is so exciting. I got my first blog award! I'm so excited. Thank you to Frugal Maven at Hip and Stingy. I love your frugal blog (my inspiration) and am honored to receive this award from you!

The rules of this award are as follows:

• It is to be given to bloggers who exhibit great gratitude and/or attitude.


• It is to be passed on to 10 other bloggers


• You should link back to each blog that receives an award and leave a comment on their blog to let them know they've been given it.

I award the following blogs (in no particular order):

1. The Thrifty Chicks - I fell in love with your blog the minute I laid eyes on it. It has inspired me to make thrifting part of my regular routine. I am loving it! Thank you.


2. Just a Girl - You have amazing ideas to get my creativity flowing. Keep them coming!


3. Tip Junkie - You as well have given me many creative ideas. I've already done the Valentine's Day hand sanitizer as a teacher gift and have many other of your ideas in mind I'd like to try. Please keep them coming too!


4. Meal Planning Mommies - I love looking at your recipes daily and trying some of them out. It helps to get out of my meal ruts! Thanks!
