Freaky Frugalite

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of dealnews for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Oh wow, I have FINALLY found the jackpot, friends. It’s dealnews. It’s a website that collects all the latest and greatest deals online and organizes them all for easy viewing. This site is amazing! It’s especially [...]

If you have been languishing with Blogger, waiting in the wings for some great deal on self-hosting to come along, I found one for you. Actually, it’s such a good sale that I’m a bit miffed. I am already on Hostgator, so I can’t take advantage of it. Anyway, YOU can. I know some of [...]

Yum! We love the Breakfast on the Go! snacks. I like the ones with dried fruit in them, and the kids like the ones with chocolate in them. These things are so perfect for traveling. They don’t weigh you down like heavier snacks and fast foods do, either. One of these little packets with a [...]

Thanks to some cool folks at Twitter who graciously share their links I have discovered some good websites about money management. I’m learning more about how to get rid of debt. I had to go in debt to fund the kitchen renovation, and have created a payback budget to– Lord willing!!– pay it all off [...]
