Welcome to Thrifty Mommy!

Welcome to the Ultimate Blog Party! We’re so excited to be participating with 5 Minutes for Mom and to have a chance to meet other mommy bloggers.
Kelly and I are the writers for Thrifty Mommy. We work hard to provide tips on saving money and time. You’ll find information on sales, recalls, saving energy, baby products, organization, budgeting, crafts, frugal living, recipes, and more.
While you’re here, we hope you’ll check out our archives and stop back by often for more money saving tips.
Please leave a comment below as a way of signing our guest book. We’re happy you’re here. We will be using the names to draw a party prize. The prize is a new hardback copy of Disney’s Anytime Stories Collection. The book features over 60 colored pages of some of Disney’s favorites characters.
Please leave your correct email address in the email box (not the comment box) so that we can get in touch with the winner. The prize is open to US and Canadian addresses.
By the way, I hope you’ll check out the other parties at A Healty Balance and Little Fun; Little Learning.

Do I have to join the party to be eligible to win? I so don’t get it about the UBP.
Since there is blog party going on…I thought I would stop by and see your site. Great site, I like the colors and layout it’s organized and I like that it’s a thirfty site. I will sure come back and visit as often as I can.

What a great contest idea. I love it. this will be fun!
Mary: No, you don’t have to join the party to win. It’s also open to men who leave comments, although the UBP is not.
If you do want to join the party, here’s some info. All the stuff is a bit overwhelming, but maybe this will simplify it.
Just do a post announcing the party (such as the one here) and then leave a direct link to your post with Mr. Linky at 5 Minutes for Mom.
LMK if you have anymore questions and I’ll try to answer them.
Thanks everyone for visiting!
I just added this to my post . . .
If you have a chance, check out my other parties. There are party favors there too.
