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....

I brought you all my first recipe makeover of the New Year and a couple of new recipes this week.  Plus, I shared my 5 Tips to Finding Balance & Getting Back on Track- I have been trying to achieve a healthier balance in my personal life as well as on the blog.  Be on the lookout for healthier recipes on the blog soon!  But don't worry... I will still be posting my usual recipes as well.  Just be expecting a better balance in the near future. ;)

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!
