Happy 4th of July! And happy birthday to my blog!
My blog shares a birthday with my country, for some odd reason (really, who starts a blog on the 4th of July??).
Me, I guess, because today is my blog's third birthday (holy moly! I can't believe I've been doing this for three years.).
Thanks for reading and commenting and sharing my blog with others...you guys are the best readers ever.
Since it's a national holiday today and a lot of you will be off having cookouts and watching fireworks, we'll wait until next week to have a Q&A.
We actually lit our fireworks off last night (because we have to be in bed early tonight), as did an awful lot of our neighborhood.
It got a little smoky.
We're hoping this means we won't be kept awake until all hours tonight, but I wouldn't say we're totally optimistic. 😉
Happy 4th, and thanks again for being such lovely readers. Mwah!











Your blog Kristen was the first blog I joined and still my favorite.
Happy 3 years! I'm a fairly new reader to your blog (only in the last few months or so) but it's one of my favorites! Enjoy your day.
Congratulations on 3 years! Like Joan, this was also one of the first blogs I started reading. You were definitely one of the inspirations for me to start my own blog, and it really has enriched my life. Thanks for all that you do!
Great Pictures! Happy Anniversary!
Hi Kristen!
Congratulations on 3 years! What a great blog you have! I look forward to reading it every day! Happy 4th!
Happy birthday to your country and your blog!
Happy Birthday to your blog and the USA. I just came across your blog the other day and am enjoying this. I started a blog the other day but never thought to time it for July 4th. Would make a great conversation piece. Enjoy your day.
Happy Birthday! and Happy 4th July! 🙂
Happy birthday, indeed! Thanks for all the helpful tips and recipes you've provided over the years, but mostly, thanks for sharing your happiness in a frugal lifestyle. It's an inspration to those of us who sometimes feel bogged down on the frugal path.
Happy birthday to your blog!
Is the second picture upside down? If not, then that's awesome!!!
Nope...I think I moved before the shutter closed, which is what made it look so odd. I really like it, though!
Happy Birthday to Kristen's blog! 🙂
Wow! Happy blog-day 🙂 Hope that the sleep works out for you tonight.
And happy, happy (blog) birthday to my very favorite blogger!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Katy

Being frugal is TOTALLY cool right now. *high-five*
Happy Bloggy Birthday to you and Happy Independence Day!!
Happy Birthday to you blog! I found you when I needed instruction for painting a bed and I've loved reading your posts ever since! Have a fun 4th of July!
since it's not on the site, could you share your very first blog post with us?
Thank you for blessing me every single day. I am so grateful to you for the gift of The Frugal Girl. Many happy returns...
I love your blog. Yay to being frugal, healthy, and living within your means. To me that is the spirit of true independence. lol
