It’s Party Time!

solo.jpg

Over at 5 Minutes to Mom they are hosting a blog party!!! It is a great  way to find some new fav reads and maybe win some prizes too!!

Welcome to my lil corner of the neighbourhood, and my blog! Well actually I hvave two this one and The Lucky Cannuck. Can I offer you a cup of hot chocolate or perhaps a cup of herbal tea? Would you like a chocolate? or perhaps a maple cookie? These are some of my favorite food and I really want to be a good hostess! Come on in and sit for a bit.

I am Hollie, a solo mom. I am cheaper than cheap! I have to be. I live on less then $1300 a month in Canada’s biggest city. I have been blogging for years now. I had old blogs on both MSN and blogspot. I really like wordpress!

I write about things cheap frugal. On Mondays I try hard to Menu plan, and post my plans here. I also like to participate in What Works Wednesdays. I also write  about my lil girl who is a unique talented child who walks the Aspergers/ADHD line. Sometimes I will even do an opinion piece if something is on my mind.

I have months of archives here for you to browse…and this week I will introduce some of my favorte blogs and my must reads for help. So glad you came to visit, hopefully you will come back often.

  1. Thanks for your comment. Nice to meet you! It’s nice to see another Canadian. And yes…I LOVE chocolate. So don’t mind if I come in for a while…

  2. I love chocolate and herbal tea, too — don’t mind if I do! Oh, nice to see a familiar face at one of these parties! (I know Erin, your previous commenter!) I’m also Canadian and I enjoy a good frugal blog, but I’ve found very few Canadian ones. I’m definitely bookmarking yours!!

  3. Oh, sorry, I didn’t say who I was and I have a wordpress login that allows me to comment on someone else’s blog…. long story short, swavatam is actually ValleyGirl @ swanvalleytammi.blogspot.com! I’m partying this week, too!

  4. It’s nice to meet you. I am learning the ropes of frugal living. It’s kinda fun to take the challenge. But sometimes, it’s a pain, cause it requires a lot of planning ahead.

    I’m giving away some Pysanka Easter Egg Sleeves that are fun to decorate your eggs with and very pretty (Russian and Ukranian designs).

  23. Hey there- great blog! I’ll have to do some exploring. I can always use information on cheap- I mean, frugal living. Being on one paycheque sure stinks!

    So you’re in Toronto, are you? I’m a Hamilton native, myself.

  24. Thanks for stopping by to see me today! I appreciate the comment! It’s always refreshing to find other single moms to ‘hang out’ with! Hope you can stop by the community sometime and you’re always welcome at the blog! Have a great weekend! 🙂
