Quick and dirty because I have to get to the dog park, do some shopping, and then drive to a baby shower an hour away.

So here are posts I loved this week

Crystal at Budgeting in the Fun Stuff has an update on how their new house is coming along. It makes me want to buy new construction again.

Frugal Portland does some introspection to figure out What’s the Point to all this debt payoff and living frugally.

I’m a little late on posting the link to this one, but over at Debt Black Hole, Dave posted an update on his family’s financial nemesis- eating out. It’s a nemesis many of us face.

Over at The Millionaire Nurse Blog, Cil gives us a post about the exaggeration we are seeming to see more and more. Is it Embellishment or Lying?

Football pre-season has started. I love football. My good friend Mrs C at Another Housewife has a son who is playing pop warner. She writes about Making Football a Family Affair.

And finally, we welcome our newest Yakezie Challeger- Milk and Honey Money (love that name). They have honestly just started their journey. It will be nice to follow along with them.
