Just wanted to share that I have sold my challenger blog, Dining Out Challenge. It is now part of Crystal and Jesse's blogging empire. As a Yakezie challenge site, I look forward to seeing how they can grow the site. :)

Congrats to you, and to Crystal and Jesse! Good luck to all!
Are you still putting out the ebook? Will that be part of the Dining Out Challenge blog, or Mom's Plans?

The ebook is still coming out, though I have to revise it some now. I am looking at a February release date, and it will be part of Mom's Plans.

Congrats on selling – sounds like you are doing some other cool things for the next year. Congrats to Crystal and Jesse. I think empire might be too small of a word to describe their collection of sites.

Thanks for the warm response everyone!!! As with all of the sites we buy, our long-term plans are to keep growing them, so no worries about any of anybody's favorites disappearing anytime soon. :-)

I loved the blog in the beginning and had fun documenting how my family was cutting costs when dining out. However, only 6 months after starting the blog I developed a milk intolerance, which made going out difficult but not impossible. A year later I also developed a soy intolerance, and two of my kids also got a milk intolerance, so suddenly even finding a place to eat out was difficult, let alone trying to save money. (If I found a restaurant with both dairy and soy free items, they were usually expensive.) Then, we got gazelle intense with paying off debt, so the blog just didn't make sense anymore. Jana did a great job as a staff writer as did Crystal a few months ago, but my heart just wasn't in it anymore.
I will be starting another new blog in the next few weeks though.
