I’m at the beach this weekend- except that I’m not really. I’m in a condo at the beach, sitting on a laptop trying to get some writing done, as that is what one does at a writers’ retreat. How we managed to pick the most gorgeous weekend so far this year to lock ourselves inside, I have no idea. But just because I’m away working on my writing, there’s no need for you not to knowread more…
I’m going to a free simulcast of Madama Butterfly tonight. That means I have a to of things that have to get done early today, so not much time for chit chat (this has kind become a running theme- things will slow down once we finally get the house ready for the foster care license), so off we are to the blogs. I always love when the House of Two Bows posts their monthly spendingread more…
It’s a beautiful Saturday afternoon here. We’ve already been to the dog park, and I still have lawn mowing and basement organizing to work on. So let’s get right to the blogs. American Debt Project wonders what she’ll write about when she doesn’t have debt. I don’t know, but I hope she’ll think of something, because I do enjoy her blog. I know April was a tough month for her, but everyone has to cut themselvesread more…
There is no theme to the blogs I’m highlighting today, other than the fact that I like the blogs and the blog posts. I don’t even think my mind can concoct a convoluted way to connect them all, which is fine. It doesn’t change the fact that these are good blogs. You should read them. Mr Money Mustache is all about extreme early retirement, and while it’s not what I am looking for, the siteread more…
Not that I don’t love all of the blogs I regularly read, but this week I was looking for something a little different, something new. So I headed over the Yakezie member forums and went to see who the new challengers were. So today, I have six new (or at least new to me and to Yakezie) to share with you. I hope you enjoy them. We start with a Family Bucket List over atread more…
I finally had some time toward the end of this week to sit down and catch up on all the blogs I read. It was really nice. Things are still a little crazy, but definitely calming down. Anyway, here are some of my favorite posts from this week. (And the way my mind finds them to be all related, which trust me, doesn’t always make sense to me, either.) I like to remind folks that financialread more…
Every time I think that maybe, just maybe, I’m getting back on track, I realize that there is something I’ve not done. This week, it felt like I was moving right along, until I realized that I’ve barely read or commented on any blogs this week. For that I apologize. But even though I didn’t do my usual level of reading, I really liked what I did read. So yes, it’s a small sample size thisread more…
Today is the day we have to finish cleaning out the MIL’s apartment, and with everything going on lately, I’ll be honest, I haven’t been reading as much as I usually do. So today, since my mind is busy pondering yet another online project (because I need to do one more thing besides this, Life by Pets, 100 Words On, and Fiction in 50), I thought I would share a couple projects that some blogging friendsread more…
My to do list today is a little long today, since we have people coming over for dinner tonight and the first part of the home study on Monday night. While the corned beef is on the stove, I still have to clean the kitchen, clean off the dining room table (well, finish doing that, I started last night), clean the living room, and vacuum the whole upstairs (one of the people who is coming tonightread more…
Since its women’s money week, what I’ve been reading mostly consists of posts in that vein. You can check out all the amazing posts over at Women’s Money Week, but I thought I’d highlight a few that have really caught my attention. I learned about Women’s Money Week via Jackie at Money Crush, so I only think it’s appropriate to start off with her, and her post on why savings accounts aren’t just for rainyread more…
