It's Northern Cheapskate's 6-month Blogiversary

It seems like when you're pregnant, you think of everything in terms of weeks. Then, when your babies are here, you think in terms of months.

When you break it down into pieces like that, it makes it so much easier to believe they'll stay babies forever. Of course, we know that's not true.

Well, this blog is growing up, too. Today marks the 6-month anniversary of this blog's inception. On one hand, it feels like I've been doing this forever, but on the other hand, it feels like yesterday.

I've truly thankful for all of my readers. Without you, I'd be talking to myself. Well, I do that anyway, but you get what I mean! I have enjoyed your comments, questions, and ideas.

I've appreciated the media attention. I'm on KAXE 91.7 FM radio Monday mornings and had a blast doing the 2-hour Between You and Me show on KAXE with Heidi Holtan, I've been mentioned on KARE11 TV's website and featured in the Minneapolis Star Tribune's Money section. The extra visitors I've gained from the media coverage, has helped keep me inspired.

I have enjoyed meeting new blog friends. I've learned so much from Heather at Freebies 4 Mom, Sara at Be Thrifty Like Us, and Kacie at Sense to Save. Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge with me.

Of course, Northern Cheapskate still has a lot of growing up to do, and I want to hear from you!

What types of articles do you like best? Least?
What types of topics would you like to see covered?
Is there a feature you'd like to see added to the blog?

Please share your questions, comments, and ideas with me, so that I can continue to make Northern Cheapskate a blog worth bookmarking. Post a comment here, or e-mail me. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for reading!

I like your blog because I find you post a lot of different. I mean you post freebies, yet personal things like why you decided to stay at home with the kid and then other things like the compulsive shopper piece.

I think you do a nice job mixing it up! I visit everyday.
