Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop 78

June 1, 2014 by Carrie

After a very long week I’m excited to announce that my family is officially on summer break!  

What did that long week teach me?  Single mothers are rock stars.  

My hubby was out of town with his track and field athletes this week. That meant I experienced the life of a single mom for a majority of the week.  Single mothers have the HARDEST job on the planet.  Hands down.  If you are a single mom you’ve got a lot of respect from me!

Now for the party!

Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop

I’ve been so happy to see many new people here lately at the Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop!  Weather this is your first time linking up or you’re a returning loyal linker, I’m so glad to have you here!

Thanks for joining me and Jordan from Lily White. Designs, Amy From A Blossoming Life, Sara from Sneaky Spoons, and Katie from The Casual Craftlete.  We each pick different features each week so be sure to check out the other lovely features!

This party starts each Sunday at 8PM Central time  You can subscribe to my email list to ensure you won’t miss a thing!

This week at Carrie This Home

 I shared a really frugal and low calorie recipe for Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pudding.  I am a woman that LOVES chocolate so any way I can get chocolate without sacrificing my diet is good news for me!

This Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pudding is a great way to get a chocolate fix without compromosing your diet! Super easy to make and tastes heavenly!

    Single-Mamahood is seriously hard stuff! I totally admire mothers who do it all by themselves.

    Happy Summertime!
