We Are THAT Family: Family Feasts {Giveaway}

Tuesday

Family Feasts {Giveaway}

*UPDATED with Winners* Yay! Congrats to Erin at Closing Time and Jelli Bean Journals!

I love supporting other bloggers. Especially those who've written books!!

(are you listening Fairy Godmother?)

This great cookbook, Family Feasts for $75 a week, written by Mary Ostyn (the Mom blogger behind Owlhaven) is an amazing, useful guide to really great frugal meal planning!

Mary is an authority on big families. She mothers 10 beautiful children and knows how to stretch a penny. This is so much more than a cookbook. It's really a fantastic guidebook that equips you to not only be a smart shopper, but a creative cook.

I loved the copy I was sent (for FREE, I think that's called a disclosure).

You will too! Today, I'm giving away two copies! Just leave a comment with a valid email.

This giveaway ends on Thursday.
