I recently wrote about a review that I was suppose to be doing with CSN Baby to review one of their Moses basket. Unfortunately the review will not be going through as planned. CSN Baby was very aware that I was hosting a Baby Shower Extravaganza this month and agreed upon a review. Instead of wanting me to review the full sized Moses basket, they instead opted to send me the Moses basket for a baby doll. This doesn't fit in with the theme, and I can't accurately review a product that number one, isn't full sized and number two wouldn't really ...

I will be in the hospital soon having baby girl. (I'm still excited at the thought and can't believe that I am having a little girl.) During the first two weeks I will be taking a break from my website to focus on my family and my precious new baby. I need some help from my readers. I posted this before, but I'm doing it again. I NEED GUEST POSTS! I could ask other bloggers to do this for me, but I want to keep this right at home. I would love to have some of my readers write guest posts for me to publish on my blog for when I have the baby...

I am excited to announce that I have added a new community aspect to Penny Pinching Diva. In the navigation bar at the top, you will now see a link that says "Community." If you click on that, it will bring up a new page containing a message board. Anyone that has already registered on the website, or wants to register, can participate in the forums. The good thing about the new community aspect is that it will allow you to have direct contact with me, as I plan on participating on the forums on a daily basis. (If you were a part of the old ...

It has been awhile since I have had to make one of these posts. The last time was during a Kmart debacle when I posted an open letter to my readers. I have also decided that this will be the last time that I make a post like this. Some readers and random visitors forget so easily simple rules of etiquette. I'm tired of defending myself, and having to subject the people that visit here on a regular basis because they want to, to the nastiness that is left in my comments. I'm just going to respond, overall, to some of the comments and emails tha...

It has been awhile since I have done one of my announcement posts, and I think that one is long over due. I have quite a few good things that I am planning, along with a request for some of my readers, and then a not-so-good one (but I'll save that one for last). So here we go! I'm planning a DIVA WEEKEND RETREAT for late 2010 or early 2011. It's going to be a small gathering, but it's going to be fun. I want to get the chance to meet some of the readers that have supported me through this blog for so long. I have interacted with you thro...

I'm excited to let my readers know that I have been chosen to be a Sears Outlet Signature Team Mom. (Some of you may have already of seen the pretty pink button on my right hand side bar.) I have been waiting to announce this on my blog for two reasons: Number one, because I am still allowing this to sink in. I thought that it would be a longshot to be considered for this when I put in my application. This was the first time that a brand has actually accepted applications for their brand ambassadors and Mommy PR did a great job of orch...

I believe in supporting causes close to my heart. I love my babies and I believe that domestic violence is an awful crime that effects too many women, children and families. I have a child with developmental delays, but I have never had to experience the heartbreak of having a baby born too soon, or loosing a baby. My close friend, and contributing editor to Penny Pinching Diva, Priscilla is doing something that I wish I could do in my seventh month of pregnancy. She is marching in March of Dimes: March for Babies. Her goal is to raise $350 ...

For months I have noticed that my posting on Penny Pinching Diva has declined. I will forever be a "penny pincher" and be frugal, but I have been missing the drive to write on my website for awhile now. With the many changes that I am going through in life I find that I am going through so many different things, both as a woman and a mother, that I feel that not only my readers but others can relate to as well. But I continued to try and keep up with my regular postings. I have decided that in order to keep writing and producing the best ...
