I’ve had a family emergency that is taking me out of state for an undetermined amount of time. This blog will be on hiatus until my return.
My good friend, Fey, posed a few questions and ideas in her comment on my previous post about saving for an emergency fund that I wanted to highlight and talk through a little of my decision-making process on this. I’m happy to have suggestions like this and open this blog up to more back and forth.
Its good you [...]
Last week I took a break from blogging. Nothing major was going on — I just felt little inspiration to write anything. I also wasn’t participating in my daily reading of other sites (see links on the right to most I check out often).
I also have a stack of receipts piling up on my [...]
Monday Wrap-up will be a bit delayed today but in the meantime, check out The Great American Book Giveaway. There are 5 featured books a week and they give out hundreds of them!
Giveaway Project is a great site to check daily for updates on giveaways and freebies around the blogoshpere. No strings attached — just helpful posts summarizing what’s out there for easy entry (often just a comment on a blog).
Right now, you can enter to win a $25 Amazon gift card by simply posting a comment.

(I may repost about Carnival #80 later, but right now the host, millionster.com, is down.)
Money Walks is hosting #81. Highlights include articles on wasting money when you think you are saving it, the 5 syptoms of debt overload, and [...]
WordPress’s widgets are getting the best of me today. I was trying to edit my emergency fund savings total to $68, but it’s not getting saved. Gremlins in the system perhaps, but regardless (note: fixed) — I’m up a tiny bit towards the goal of $1000 for my emergency fund.
I set up a new online, [...]
The Savvy Steward also had an interesting link in the Festival of Frugality that explains how to write and send letters with no envelope needed.
Fey, if you are reading this, I know I’ve been a bad pen pal but I am going to try this out with a letter to Ez this week!
Mapgirl’s Fiscal Challenge is the host of the 68th Festival of Frugality and my blog post on Tips for a Great Yard Sale was featured in the carnival!
Some of the other frugal highlights:

From a work perspective, I’ve never experienced a week like this one before. A roller coaster of work, emotion, feeling overwhelmed, feeling empowered. End result: going in to today I have a much larger staff and scope of responsibility.
I haven’t blogged as much as I’d like but I’m still here, still have many post ideas, [...]
