If you don't receive an email from me, it's because I didn't have any way to contact you. Please send me an e-mail in the next few days, or I will have to choose someone else.  homemadeginger (at) gmail (dot) com


I'm so excited to be doing this giveaway today! I hope you all will be excited about it as well.  It's even better than my other giveaways because FIVE people will be winners! Woohoo!


Crystal Paine from Money Saving Mom just wrote a great book called The Money Saving Mom's Budget .  It actually officially goes on sale tomorrow on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.  She sent me a copy a little while ago for me to read in preparation for this giveaway.

I have learned so many useful tips for budgeting and simplifying life.  And it's not just for moms.  It's a wonderful tool for anyone at any stage of life.  I wish I had read this book when I was in college or newly married.  It's super easy to read and every single page has practical tips that will change your life if you follow them.

The best part of all is that 100% of the books proceeds are going to Compassion International.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Crystal is giving away ALL of the profits from her book.  Who does that?  I am excited about the book, but I think I'm even more inspired and encouraged by her incredible generosity.  And Compassion is an amazing ministry that I stand behind. We've supported a little girl through Compassion for about 5 years now and it's been a great experience.

All of that to say that Crystal is giving away FIVE copies of her book to FIVE lucky readers!

Here is how to enter:
You have the chance to enter up to 3 times if you wish.
1. leave a comment on this blog post.
2. Become a follower or subscriber and leave a comment telling me you did so.
3. "Like" Homemade Ginger on Facebook and leave another comment telling me so. 

If you are already a follower and/or already like hg on facebook, you can just leave me comments telling me so! 
**I need a way to contact you if you win, so include your email in your comment if you don't have email reply enabled. Here is a tutorial on how to change that setting. Please consider doing it if you haven't!! **



The giveaway will end on Wednesday, January 11.


I'll be back later today with an indoor activity!
