by Crystal on September 30, 2010

So, as a way of showing my gratitude, I’m hosting another Giveaway Extravaganza tomorrow. I’ll be giving away over 45 prizes worth over $3,000 — including a giveaway for $250 cash!

    Happy Birthday!

  • Rose September 30, 2010 at 09:04 pm

    AWSOME, I love how you have these great promos. And you are only turning 29, I thought you were older, only because you seem so mature.
    But you look great!!
    Rock it girl!!

  • chelsea September 30, 2010 at 09:04 pm

    HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I will be here and excited to enter, though I haven’t won yet either. Just proves how many of us there are that are devoted followers!

  • Cindy September 30, 2010 at 09:05 pm

    May you have a happy and blessed birthday as you are the adored princess of the Almighty King!

  • Jamie September 30, 2010 at 09:07 pm

    Have a beautifully blessed birthday! Your are a beautiful blessing to all of us!

  • Angela Brown September 30, 2010 at 09:07 pm

    Early Happy Birthday! Thanks for everything you do, you have no idea what a blessing you have been to my family!! :)

  • Lee September 30, 2010 at 09:10 pm

    Well happy birthday! Also I have to laugh at the fact that you think of your self at 17. I feel like I am forever 24. I turned 24 a month after my second son was born and although time has passed (he is now 4!) I am somehow still 24 in my mind. Nothing like having to add his age to 24 everytime someone asks how old I am!

  • Heather@Family Friendly Frugality September 30, 2010 at 09:14 pm

    Happy early birthday Crystal! You are almost exactly one year older than me. Let me know how it feels to be 28 ;)

    That sounds like a fantastic day of fun! I hope you get some great prizes for yourself too!

  • Hannah September 30, 2010 at 09:14 pm

    Happy birthday!! I’m new to your blog but I love it just the same!! It’s probably my favorite!! =)

  • Rebecca September 30, 2010 at 09:15 pm

    Happy Birthday! LOL. It is my birthday as well! 44!! Thanks for all you do.

  • Emiley September 30, 2010 at 09:16 pm

    Yay for a birthday! I always forget how old I am, I really do. When someone asks me I have to ask my husband how old he is because I know I am a year younger. The best part of this, no matter how old I get he will always be older.

  • Julie September 30, 2010 at 09:16 pm

    Birthday Blessings to you!

    I remember being 29 and having only 3 kids; look out–in a flash I turned 42 and have 7 kids.

    Loved your post on hm tortillas today; the older you get and busier you are with more children, home educating and caring for a bigger family–the more you must weigh saving a couple quarters vs caring for your larger family with questions on a high school, jr high, grade school and preschool level. It is challenging!

    • Judy September 30, 2010 at 11:23 pm

      @Julie, I can still remember being 29, but I had five kids then! Now at 37, I have six, soon to be seven. Love to see other moms that have larger families!

  • april September 30, 2010 at 09:21 pm

I’ve always been extremely thrifty (I once rehabbed my entire vintage apartment with super glue and white out), but now with large medical bills it’s more important than ever. Your website has been so uplifting, encouraging, and made me feel so empowered! Thank you! I wanted to let you know what a difference you’ve made in my life on the eve of your birthday. Enjoy your special day and celebrate how wonderful you are! :)

  • Cassie From The Thrifty Couple September 30, 2010 at 09:37 pm

    Happy Early Birthday! I have been 29 for a few months now and the 30′s really scare me now as I found 3 white hairs a few weeks ago! I was shocked and thought it was my very dramatic, active 5 year old (been sayin’ that she alone has aged me 10 tens :) )

    At least it made me feel better that you have some too :) Thank you for all that you do and share. You are a blessing to so many including us. We appreciate you!

  • Niki September 30, 2010 at 09:38 pm

    I never win either but am hoping that I may get lucky! Happy 29th Birthday! I am 29 with 2 years experience as I refuse to hit 30!

  • Elizabeth September 30, 2010 at 09:38 pm

    Happy Birthday!!! I turned 29 this year also! I have 3 little ones with #4 on the way. I feel as if you are a good friend and I have never met you. I appreciate so much all that you share with us through your blog. We have learned so much from you. Thanks for sharing your special day with us!

  • Marlene September 30, 2010 at 09:38 pm

    Happy birthday!! I’ve been 29 for 11 months now. And so far, it’s been awesome :) Giving away gifts on your birthday is such a fun thing. If you’re a JRR Tolkien fan, you’ll know that’s what hobbits do. And now I think I need to go to bed, I realized I just referenced hobbits on MoneySavingMom.com . . . there has to be a first time for everything . . . :)

  • cherry September 30, 2010 at 09:38 pm

  • Leah September 30, 2010 at 09:38 pm

    Crystal, you are SUCH an inspiration to me. I’m 21 (still in college and living at home). I’m working to get through college to graduate debt free, and I only have one more year!!!!! :) Although you are just a few years older than me, I feel as though you are marathons ahead in terms of maturity, dilligence, vision, and on and on. I hope to be half the woman you are someday! :)

    Oh, and happy birthday!! Much love and thanks!!

    30 wasn’t too bad…I’m 36 and am dreading 40!
    Happy Birthday! Instead of saying you’re 30 just tell people you’re celebrating the 1st anniversary of your 29th birthday!

  • Glenda September 30, 2010 at 09:49 pm

    Happy Birthday!
    And just so you know, even when you’re in your 40′s you still feel like you’re 17! (Well, maybe not physically)

    I remember having to write an essay my sophomore year in high school about what we would be doing when we were 32. I remember us all going “32–that’s SOOO old!” Then I turned 32 and thought, “Dang, that’s not old and I don’t feel much different than I did in high school….”

    Enjoy the day!!!

    I turn 29 in October also. I too have 3 kids: 2 girls and a boy about a month older than Silas. I always think that we are best friends that have never had the chance to meet in person! I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for spending it with all of us!

    Because of your inspiration, we are debt free other than the mortgage and only 14 years from paying that off. That is though, if we only made the minimum payments. And we won’t ever only make minimums again!

Happy birthday and I’m thrilled we’re able to celebrate with you!

    Happy Birthday! I’m 29, too – and have been holding there for more years than I care to admit. Suffice it to say I’m a couple of decades ahead of you, but find myself in some similar situations – love home educating my short people! And the added age is nothing a little consistently applied hair color can’t disguise pretty well!

  • Angella October 01, 2010 at 10:12 pm

    Hope you have a great birthday with your family!

  • Lisa October 01, 2010 at 10:17 pm

    Happy Birthday to you, Crystal!! I’ve been following you since the BW and MOL days (which I miss greatly, by the way!!) Still waiting with interest for you to share more on your homeschooling journey :)

    Hope you had a wonderful day today. “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!” Psalm 118

    • Crystal October 02, 2010 at 09:52 am

      Thanks for your kind words.

      Though I miss blogging on my other blogs, I’m thoroughly enjoying just teaching, nurturing and loving my children without having to feel the need to blog about what I’m doing with them. It’s helped there to be much more balance and peace in our home, too — which has been a wonderful thing!

      I don’t have any immediate plans to share more about homeschooling here other than the series I recently did (though that could always change!), but feel free to email me with any questions you might have.

  • Rebekah October 04, 2010 at 03:03 pm

    Happy Birthday and thanks for all the great giveaways!! I’ve been wanting to THANK YOU for how you do your giveaways. I love the new formate you have for simply clicking the link to the use your form. It seems like so many bloggers make you comment, tweet, facebook, follow, visit sites and report back, and 100s of other things to get your name put in the hat!! And then if you don’t do all those things you feel like you really have no chance at winning since everyone else is doing it! As a small scale blogger I understand the temptation to build up your followers by requiring these things for extra entries, but for a reader it is really REALLY annoying. Thank you for how you choose to run giveaways!!!

    • Crystal October 04, 2010 at 03:31 pm

      Thanks for your kind encouragement! Truth be told, not only do we hope it is easier for you all, but it makes it much easier on our end, too!
