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!

Hi Phoebe. Lovely to meet you as part of the Ultimate Blog Party. :) I'm Lightening, an Aussie with 3 kids, living on a farm in the middle of nowhere and blogging to stay sane. LOL. Thanks for the struesel - YUM!!!

Nice to meet you , Happy Party Day !!
I'd love to have anyone interested in gardening join the Garden Club over at my blog today!
Hey Phoebe!! Great party! Just thought that I would stop by and say hello again!
Great to learn more about you! :D I just posted about our gardening. I have a brown thumb, so we'll see how it ends up. I do have some sprouts already though. WOOHOO!
What way to celebrate Friday!
When you get the chance stop by and say hi. I'm writing about living an abundant life (on a budget).
Enjoy the Party!

Hi Phoebe! (I love your name!) It's nice to meet you!
Your blueberry streusel looks fantastic!
We, too, are trying to get out of debt. Too bad we ever got into debt in the first place. It's hard work!
I hope you'll come over and visit my blog. I having a giveaway for some great girly gifts! Have a great day! Lynnette

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm glad to find you. I can always use money saving ideas.
I've never had blueberry streusel but wow does it look delic!
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! :)
love being frugal too! I am now following you!
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.
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... :)
Blueberry is my favorite!! My house or yours, I'll supply the coffee! ;-)
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!
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!
Hello! UBP 09 party goer here!
Hi! It's so nice to meet you and thanks for stopping by. I've bookmarked your blog, because I need to come back and read ALL of it - I am still in the early stages of trying the whole coupon/trying to live frugally journey and I need all the help I can get :)
Hello!!! Nice to meet you! I have just started learning to coupon which has been a blast. I love the challenge. I love your blog design!
I'm partying UBP'09! Enjoyed looking around your site! I'll be adding you to my reader! :)
Thanks for the streusel it was yummy. I'm a follower now.
Hi! Happy UBP.
Thanks for the pie.
Have a great weekend!
The streusel looks so good!
We're working toward becoming debt-free, too. I'll have to bookmark you!
The struesal looks yummy. Hope you have a wonderful bloggy party!
Nice to meet you Phoebe! Love your design hope you have a great week partying!
Nice to meet you! Happy partying!
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.
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.
I would give my eyeteeth to be able to cook one decent meal in my life lol. Anyway, it was great to stop by your page - good luck on what you and your family are trying to achieve financially - I know you can do it! Have an awesome weekend!
Hello Phoebe, nice to meet you! Look forward to reading more about how you reduce debt. Hope you can stop by the ranch and visit us - we are on a mission to reduce clutter, live frugal, and save as much as we can.
Great to meet you! Have a fun week!
Happy UBP 09!! :)
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!
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!
Out enjoying the blog partys, I'll be back to read more of your blog. Your Friday's sound great!
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!
That blueberry struesal looks delicious!
Nice to meet you Pheobe! Great party!
What a very pretty site! Have a wonderful blog party!
The colors of your blog are so pretty. Enjoy the party!
Would love to try that yummyness... happy party 09!
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.
We love Dave Ramsey. Unfortunately, we haven't put most of his suggestions to work. But one day.....
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.
Hey Phoebe, I love me some frugalness as well but that blueberry streusel is mighty tempting :) Thanks for the yummy post.
I thought I would drop by and see how your party was going.
The blueberry streudal looks delicious.
You and the family have a terrific weekend.
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.
Me too please... I'll have some blueberry streusel.
I need to work on being more frugal... I'm terrible with money.
Thanks for the sweet intro. Found you on UBP. I'd love for you to swing by my site, The IE Mommy, and check out my UBP post. :)
Hi, I'm part of the blog party. Very nice to meet you and your blog. I plan to start my first garden this year, so maybe your blog can help me out!
Thanks for visiting my blog Phoebe! Yours is great! I love how you invited us to sit down and have some pie!
Thanks !!
