Welcome all Ultimate Blog Party hoppers! It is so nice to have you and so nice to be participating for the first time! So now on to the introductions!
My name is Amanda and I have been blogging for just a couple of months so far. I love to read blogs and thought, why not start my own? So I did! :) The focus of my blog is being frugal (we live on a very tight income), food (recipes), working on bringing our family closer to God, and anything to do with my family. I have just started so I'd love it if you'd come back and visit often!
Here is the family (my mother-in-law took us to Disney last summer). My husband Mike, me, DD8, DS5, and DS3.
I participate in $5 Dinners Bargain Meal of the Week. My store is Food Lion and you can find my meal ideas for their sales ad here.
I love to try new recipes like this Vegetable Lo Mein one.
and make comfort classics like yummy blondies
or delicious beef pot roast
I also like to have fun with food. For example these cute little clover kiwi for St. Patrick's Day.
We're also working on doing daily devotions as a family. We haven't done them every day but we're getting there.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Please come back soon! I'd love for you to show me some comment love as well. It's so encouraging for us newbies. :)
God bless,
Amanda
P.S. Wanted to add my prize picks. :)
My number one prize that I’d like to win is USC 58 — Handmade Retro Apron of your choice! I love aprons, actually I collect them! I had looked at this shop before and would love to win this!

Ta!
I especially love the St. Patty's kiwi. Too cute.
Happy 1st UBP!
I also like to cook, I try to live frugal. I work at home, and cook at least one large meal a day. I try to make my meals to be yummy, nutritous, and frugal.
I am becoming a great coupon shopper and have found a lot of helpful hints on blogs.

happy UBP!!
Have fun at the parties and come by when you get a chance.
Drop on by anytime. I write a humor blog, homeschool my teens, and teach high school Sunday school. I try to find the funny in everything. And you know what? Sometimes it just ain't there.
Found you through UBP09. Blessings!
Love your frugal ideas for cooking...I need some!
Blessings and peace to you~elaine
You're invited to my party, in Dubai!
Hope you'll stop by and visit my blog! :)
Just blog hopping in through the party link list.
Stop in on my party if you've got a minute!
Those kiwi's are so adorable!
Looks like you had a great trip to Disneyland! I so want to take our kids there, but we will probably wait until they are a bit older :)
Have a great week!
Party ON!!

I'll definitely have to check out your blog more later... (I'm just bookmarking everyone right now, while I blog-hop my way through the party :-p)
Feel free to check out my blog, too! While I found the party too late to be part of the official prize giveaways, I do have a door prize at my blog: I'm giving away a free print copy of my book, "Two Snowflakes." Here's my address: http://twinhappyjen.blogspot.com/
It was nice to meet you!
