I would just like to say hi to all of you who are here from 5 Minutes for Mom for the 2009 Ultimate Blog Party. My name is Janeen and I am 23 years old, have a civil engineering degree, a Christian and stay at home mom of one little girl (Lizzy-19 months) and am due with our second daughter in June (we're still debating names!) I am married to a fabulous man who works hard to support us and we live in North East Ohio. I LOVE to cook and be frugal and my blog is dedicated to making it easier for moms to find great deals, recipes, and encouragement. Some of the regular posts I do around here are:
- Mom Mondays (where our motto is: Moms need encouragement) and Menu Plan Monday
- Freebies and Giveaways (Tuesday)
- Wednesday Wifehood
- Recipe of the Week (Thursday)
- Frugal Friday
- Others: CVS, Walgreens, Acme, Marc's, Giant Eagle, making money online, general frugality and anything that strikes me!
At the side of my blog you can find all the topics I most regulary talk about (frugality and life lessons being the biggest ones) or you can sign up to follow me or receive email updates. This week, in honor of the Blog Party, I will be sharing some of my favorite and most honest posts, recipes and tips with you, so feel free to stop back throughout the week! You can check out my Unique Giveaway going on now here.

You might find some cool blogs that interest you and meet new people. I'm always talking about how blessed I've been by some of the amazing people around the blogosphere!

THE UBP brought me here and now I will be looking forward to those gardening tips. I seem to have a black thumb, except for columbines, they seem to like this awfully unpredictable climate of the NW.
Hi! I'm just dropping in from UBP! I noticed your site name and thought you'd be interested in my blog and site. Old Fashioned Families is a site with forums and a wealth of information on living simply and frugally. I'll leave the link here if you'd like to check it out!

Hi Janeen! Just blog hopping in through the party link list.
Stop in on my party if you've got a minute!
Hi! Stopping by from the UBP. This is my 1st UBP too & I'm still very new at blogging, as I started about the same time as you. It is definitely something you have to keep at to improve. :) We'll get there though!
Hi just stopping in to check out your site. I am a follower and will be back to see what else you are posting.
Your little girl is adorable! Congrats on the new one coming. I'm stopping by from the party.
Hi,
It is a pleasure meeting you.
I am from the `UBP` and I liked the name of your blog, so I came to visit :)
I also started blogging this past August 2008.
I started at Homeschool Blogger and moved to wordpress. I LOVE wordpress. I am also a Christian and try to have my blog glorify Christ.
Would LOVE to have you visit sometime.

What a great idea. Thanks for coming to my blog also. Nice to meet you. It's so neat how so many Christian mommies are promoting frugality! We need all the help we can get.
I am enjoying all these blogs. Yours is one of the best especially your graphics.
Happy blog party! I enjoy very much these blogs especially yours!
your blog is very helpful. I am really having fun looking at all these blogs
Hi, I'm visiting via the Blog Party. Your little girl is a cutie. I look forward to reading through your blog.
Stopping by from the UBP! I'm in NE Ohio too, can't wait for the trees to be green again! Have a great day!
Hi! I am so glad you stopped by my blog for the UBP. It is nice to meet you!
To answer your question, as a Wellness Consultant, I work one on one with people to help them determine how to be healthier... sounds simple, huh. I love it... so many people are looking for a way through the overload-of-information-maze out there. I am glad to help make a plan of action!
I hope all goes well with your pregnancy and delivery... I'm going to follow you to keep up with you : )
Have a great day! Amy Ellen from HealthBeginsWithMom.com
PS. Feel free to comment on my blog with your health questions. I like to answer them as much as I'm able since most questions people ask are common to all my readers.
Came by from the party! Nice to "meet" you!!
I enjoyed visiting your blog today. You have some really great posts. And your family is adorable!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I will be back...Have a blessed day!
Nice to meet you! I'm party hopping. I really enjoyed looking around your blog!
Your daughter is adorable... and congratulations on the next one! Just a suggestion: I actually picked the name Josephine when I learned that I was going to need another girl's name (because I was pregnant with twin girls :-p) and, I chose it because I read that it means, "May God Bless you with another child." Or something to that effect... I just thought that was perfect for a second girl's name... and we just loved the name Josie anyway :-)
Anyway, 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!
Nice party! Nice to meet you!
Woot!
I am a new blogger as well! Nice to "meet" you!!!
