48-Hour Giveaway: Become a fan or subscribe and be entered to win one of 15 subscriptions to All You magazine

I've have a long to-do list of blogging ideas and very little time to do them because I've been busy doing much more important things–like reading stories to my little ones, working on our homeschool lessons, playing with play dough outside with the girls, feeding the ducks with my girls (see photo above), cuddling my little almost 4-month-old (can you believe Silas is almost 4 months old?!), and spending time with my husband. This season of life when my little children are all little is very short and I want to cherish each moment–even if that means that my to-do lists often lie untouched for weeks at a time.

However, there are those little moments every now and then when I'm able to accomplish some of the things on my non-essential to-do lists and today was one such day. We took the day off of our normal homeschool schedule and I ended up accomplishing a lot more than I was expecting! I wanted to tell you about some of the blogging-related things I accomplished:

First off, I made up a page on Facebook for MoneySavingMom. I've had a group on there for some time, but there was no way for me to update the group page with the most recent posts here. So I created a brand-new page and I'd love to have you become a fan.

When you do so, you'll receive all the latest posts and hottest freebie offers, bargains, and printable coupons straight into your friend feed. Sometimes, there are deals which are posted here that only last for an hour or two, so if you're on Facebook rather frequently, this will ensure you don't miss any of these deals. Plus, I'll likely share some links there which don't make it onto the blog.

Secondly, I've set up my Twitter feed to share all the latest posts here as soon as they are posted. Just like the Facebook feed, this Twitter feed will be updated in real-time with all the most recent posts and by following me there, it'll ensure you don't miss anything here.

Finally, did you know you can easily subscribe to this blog's feed through a feed reader or by email? If you have friends who you think might enjoy taking advantage of some of the deals here but who aren't really into reading or checking blogs, subscribing to the daily email newsletter is perfect for them. Once a day, they'll receive an email with all of the posts from the past 24 hours formatted into an easy-to-read email newsletter. To sign up, just enter your email address (or your friend's email address–with their permission!) on the righthand sidebar.

Now, I'd love to have you sign up as a fan on Facebook, or as a follower on Twitter, or as a feed or email subscriber just because. But I thought it'd be fun to give you a little extra incentive to do so but running a 48-hour giveaway for 15 one-year subscriptions to All You magazine–a magazine chock-full of great coupons.

There are four different ways to enter to win one of these 15 one-year subscriptions. Pick whichever is best for you–or pick all four, if you like!
