Come on in for the party, and sit down a relax for a bit.

Partying will wear a girl out! Help yourself to some Blueberry Streusel or anything else you can find around here.

I’m Phoebe and I love to talk about all things frugal, including gardening, cooking from scratch, and our quest to getting out of debt. We’re learning all about the simple life and it’s many pleasures, and I would love for you to join in! I also host a feature called Finding Freedom Fridays where we all gather to share different frugal ideas and help each other find freedom from debt. Be sure to come back and share your tips!
I won’t keep you too long, but feel free to subscribe to my blog feed, or you can catch up with me on Twitter.
Be sure to visit all of the other parties goin‘ on and get in on the fun!

Happy UBP!!! I am a professional blog hopper:-) Nice to meet you!
[Reply]
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m glad to find you. I can always use money saving ideas.
[Reply]
I’ve never had blueberry streusel but wow does it look delic!
[Reply]
Okay chickie, I need you to motivate me to get out of debt! Granted, we only have our mortgage and school loans, but it feels like we’re going to pay on both forever, so why bother trying to pay them off when you’re already on a tight budget. Okay, your turn, help me!
[Reply]
love being frugal too! I am now following you!
[Reply]
Now I’m hungry. I wanted to stop by and say Hi. I’m from the blog party. I think it’s great to share money saving ideas that are proven to help.
Have fun at all the parties.
[Reply]
Happy Partying! Frugal 1 – meet Frugal 2! Haha!
Blueberries…yummy and GOOD for you!! Great “frugal” fun for a four year old (my son) – picking blueberries! We always look forward to that – and not only is it free, it actually saves money in BUYING them! Those little suckers are expensive! Hehehe…
[Reply]
Blueberry is my favorite!! My house or yours, I’ll supply the coffee!
[Reply]
I just subscribed to your site, looks like you have a lot of great things to read and I will come back for sure, you’re on my favorites!
[Reply]
All this party hopping is making me hungry…I wish I could snatch that blueberry strussel right off the screen.
Have a great day! And have fun party hopping!
[Reply]

You have a wonderful blog.
I noticed you have a recipe for corned beef in a stock pot. This past St. Pats Day, I was wondering if it were possible. Now I know.
Hope your day has been beautiful.
[Reply]
Hello! How are you? This Ultimate Blog Party is so great! Hope you have time to make it over to visit me!

It’s fun to see other blogs out there. I found you on UBP.

Now I am officially starving! Your streusel looks delish!! We are also a family trying very hard to get rid of debt! It is hard work but worth the effort!
Happy UBP!!!!!

The streusel looks divine! I’ll have to mark your site to come back to later – I love a good frugal tip! I originally started off blogging with a frugal blog.

Nice to meet you! I think I’m going to follow your blog. We are trying to get out of debt as fast as possible, lol. I’m all about cooking from scratch, too. (Healthier, yummier, less expensive…) You can check out my blog if you like at http://healthynhappyhome.wordpress.com. Have a nice party!
[Reply]
Hey there! Stopping by via the UBP, I’m also trying to get debt free as well. That is the main thrust of my blog. =)
That is impressive how much you saved last year in coupons. I recently discovered the world of coupons and am just beginning now to start using them in all their greatness.
Nice to meet you!
[Reply]
Out enjoying the blog partys, I’ll be back to read more of your blog. Your Friday’s sound great!
[Reply]
Hi! I hopped over from UBP. That blueberry struesel looks super yummy. I will come back and check the rest of your blogd – I’m a “living on less” kinda gal too. Happy partying!

Hi Phoebe. The Blueberry Streusel looks delicious. I started couponing a few months ago and oh my goodness, I had no idea how much money I was literally throwing away. I get so many things for free or close to free now. It is awesome! I had one cashier at Walgreen’s say to me the other day: It looks like we are paying YOU to shop here. Anyway, good luck as your strive for Financial Peace.
[Reply]
We love Dave Ramsey. Unfortunately, we haven’t put most of his suggestions to work. But one day…..
[Reply]
Hi, nice to meet you! I’m excited to read about your debt free journey, we’re on one as well but we’re not doing so good at it. Here’s hoping for some inspiration.
[Reply]
Hey Phoebe, I love me some frugalness as well but that blueberry streusel is mighty tempting
Thanks for the yummy post.

I like blog. I’m interested in learning more about your journey to freedom from debt. I am currently posting a series called Surviving the Lien Years: Rebuilding after Financial Crisis and Bankruptcy. After the partying is over, maybe you’ll have a chance to check it out. I’ll be sure to visit your blog again because I always enjoy frugality blogs.
[Reply]
Me too please… I’ll have some blueberry streusel.
I need to work on being more frugal… I’m terrible with money.
[Reply]
