You can’t go wrong following The Thrifty Divas. The blog works to saves moms time and money by sharing great deals and coupons. Elizabeth took some time so we can get to know her and her blog.
The Shopping Mama:Tell us a little about yourself and your blog.
I recently decided to stay home with my 2 young boys (6 and 4) after a hectic career as a retail buyer. I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it but it’s been such a wonderful experience and the hardest job I’ve ever had! My husband has been completely supportive and our home life is wonderful!
I have always been thrifty with money but losing one salary in our household forced me to get really thrifty! I’ve always had a great eye for finding deals and enjoyed passing them along to my friends. My blog, The Thrifty Divas was born out of my enjoyment for sharing these deals!
The Thrifty Divas offers the hottest deals, coupons, and freebie offers plus a lot of useful money-saving advice that moms can use.
TSM: What’s the best part about writing a blog?
Writing and creating the blog has made me feel very accomplished. I love helping others save money and I love sharing my stories about saving money, finding great freebie offers and getting the hottest shopping deals around!
It has been so much fun to do! The blog is still fairly new and I’m learning the ropes, thanks to so many great mom bloggers out there!
I love meeting and connecting with other moms. I enjoy seeing how much entrepreneurial spirit we all (the moms) have! Moms are awesome, aren’t we?!
TSM: If money were no object, what’s one thing you’d buy right now?
I would take my family on vacation to Disney World for 2 weeks and then I would send the kids to their grandparents for 2 weeks while my hubby and I went on a relaxing vacation of our own! We would go on a trip to Europe! Can you tell that our family is in desperate need of a vacation?! 
TSM: We just spent a week at Disney World and I definitely think you need a vacation from your “vacation” to Disney. It’s completely fun but totally exhausting.
TSM: What are some of your favorite places to shop online?
* Ebay – when I need great stuff for cheap prices! I buy kids clothing quite a bit. I also love selling on Ebay.
* Amazon.com
– when I need the hottest or new items. I always take advantage of cheap shipping.
* The Children’s Place – when they have great sales and I am shopping ahead for next year.
* Ulta – when I need my beauty supplies and don’t have time to run to the store 25 miles away.
TSM: I love me some Ulta! I could spend all day and all kind of money in there.

TSM:List some links to your favorite posts or current giveaways.
I have been a product reviewer for almost 10 years and I love writing about it because so many people don’t know what it is. I am a contributing writer for Mom Giveaways (as an intern) and I wrote a 4 part series about “Becoming a Product Reviewer“. Here are the links:
TSM: What a great resource! Thanks for sharing all that information.
