Frugal Foodie Mama: Marvelous Mondays

Marvelous Mondays Link Party #83


Good evening everyone!  I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! :)
It is kind of surreal to me that this is the last Marvelous Mondays party that I will be co-hosting.  I have met so many wonderful bloggers the past 13 months as a co-host of this fabulous link party!  You all have inspired me week after week.  
It wasn't an easy decision to come to, but I know that it is the right one for me. I am excited about all the wonderful projects and recipes that are coming to Frugal Foodie Mama in the coming months, & I hope that you all will continue to follow along with me. :)

Even though I will not be hosting the party next Sunday, I will still be pinning and sharing some of my favorites throughout the coming week, soooooo....

Marvelous Mondays Link Party #81


Good evening everyone!  I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! :)
Each week you impress us all with your culinary creations, your craftiness, and your clever DIY projects.  Seriously.  You all rock! :)
Please feel free to spread the word about the party to your blogging buddies- the more, the merrier in my book!

Before I get started with this week's party, I do have an announcement to make to you all...
After much thought and consideration, I will be leaving Marvelous Mondays as a co-host at the end of the month.  My last party will be on Sunday, January 26th.  Looking back on my 13 months as a Marvelous Mondays co-host- from my very first party as Julie's only co-host to today- I have been honored to be a part of this.  You all have inspired me.  I have forged new blogging friendships.  And I have enjoyed sharing your creations with my followers.
I will still be hanging around at Marvelous Mondays after the 26th- but as a party-goer and not a host. ;)
Thank you all so much for all your support & for joining me here each Sunday! 

This week I am featuring this decadent Overnight Chocolate Pecan Pie French Toast Casserole from my fabulous Marvelous Mondays co-host, Julie from This Gal Cooks.  I adore overnight french toast casseroles- throw everything together the night before, pop in the fridge, & simply bake the next morning!

I gathered the best tips for growing your Pinterest followers from a few of my favorite Power Pinners with over 10,000 Pinterest followers in my Ultimate Guide to Growing Your Pinterest Following.

And you all will want to stop back by the blog after midnight tonight (and every day this week!) for Crock Pot Week!  It will be all about slow cooker recipes all week, and there just might be a giveaway happening too. ;)
