Ultimate Blog Party '10 After-Party!

Ultimate Blog Party 2010


Ahh - what a week!  I had so much fun partying with Ultimate Blog Party over at 5 Minutes 4 Mom!  I met so many great people and found a plethora of fantastic blogs!  For those of you who visited, I thank you!  With the pregnancy complications, I haven't been keeping up with the blog as much as I'd like and haven't had a chance to visit everyone who commented.  Rest assured, I haven't forgotten you!

First of all, I wanted to direct you to my free download and 4 giveaways that are live until 4/19/10 at 8pm eastern.  Make sure you enter!  You can automatically get a free download of a scripture memory verse and you can enter to win:  Update - giveaways now closed.  Thanks for playing!   Click to see who won!
  1. Living with Less So Your Family Has More  - by Mark and Jill Savage
  2. Growing Grateful Kids - by Suzie Larson
  3. Coupon Arsenal Starter Pack - at least 50 coupons sent to your home - 3 winners!
  4. Personalized Name T-Shirt by Holly Designs
Now, I want to introduce you to just a few of the blogs I have discovered during this blog party!  Goodness, I could make a list  mile long.  I promise to introduce you to other great blogs in the future.  Stop by and check these out in the mean time.
  1. Over 30 Mommy - I am an over 30 mommy and it is great to read a blog that speaks to this time in life - fighting for energy to keep up with busy little ones!  Find lots of giveaways for great products - especially organic baby products.
  2. It's All About the Savings - I met this mommy blogger about a year ago on an online forum and just love her blog!  If you like great deal updates and giveaways, check it out!
  3. Safe Home Happy Mom - As a fairly new mom, I have been overwhelmed with all the baby gear and toys and recalls.  I am so glad I found this blog to sort through what is safe and what is not!
  4. Mommygaga - This site is a great way to learn about earning money from home plus saving money - a must-visit!
Take a few moments and check out those sites!  I invite you back here often.  If you are a fellow deal-hunter and interested in guest posting, please send me an email at penguinelk at yahoo dot com!  I am looking for some guest bloggers for the end of this pregnancy and when the baby is here!

I can't wait to hear what some of your favorite sites were!

NEW!  NEW!  NEW!  Look to the left of this blog post in the sidebar!  You can now subscribe via email!  I find email subscriptions tend to be easier for me than rss reader subscriptions.

Ultimate Blog Party '10 is HERE!

Ultimate Blog Party 2010


Who doesn't love a good party?!?!  I know I do!  I love blog parties just as much as regular parties - I just wish blogs served funnel cake!  (Two strange pregnancy cravings this time around - funnel cake and beer!)  Check out this party page, my party page on Rediscovering Domesticity, and pages on hundreds of other blogs (just click the icon above).  You don't want to miss out on all the fun!  You don't have to be a blogger to join in!

Welcome to the Penny Pinching Penguin blog!  I invite you to take off your shoes, relax, and look around awhile.  Check out the tabs at the top of the page.  Get to know what this blog is all about.  I have a few giveaways going on this week.  Check out all the stuff happening in the sidebars.  Make sure to become a fan on Facebook (see the sidebar) to get special deal alerts that are not featured on this blog.

What is Penny Pinching Penguin?

This blog is designed to help you get control of your finances through saving money.  Come learn along with me how to cut your grocery spending in half.  Learn how to never pay for shampoo again.  Learn how to use web programs such as Swagbucks to compliment your gift budget.  Learn practical tips in just minutes to save on utilities.  Learn how to never pay full price for diapers again.

Who am I?

Well, I have a lot of pictures and information under the "About" tab at the top of the page.  Basics - I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, musician, and all-around happy person.  I started blogging while we were struggling to make ends meet as a way to share what I was learning about saving money.  I get really excited about only paying $3 for a jumbo pack of diapers or just $.50 for a big tube of Crest toothpaste.   I have a fantastic husband, an 18-month old son, a furry pooch, and another boy due in May (and hopefully not coming too soon!). 

So, what is a party without a party favor?  

Make sure to enter my giveaways listed below and on the sidebar of this blog and on my Penny Pinching Penguin blog - lots of freebies to be had!

Everyone is welcome to download this great scripture memory song free of charge!  Make sure to take a gander at Seeds Family Worship who has graciously offered this free download.
