Here's my latest in the Phoenix which went to a weekly paper AS OF TODAY! Now my column will be in on Saturdays which is exciting because MAYBE I'll have more than five readers now.
Here's the beginning excerpt and a link to read more:
Gaining control over spending key to living frugally
The other day I pulled out my favorite pair of jean shorts. I was shocked at the condition they were in. Paint splattered down the front. Errant strings hung down like a warped version of Daisy Duke's country attire. I wondered when they had gotten so bad?
I thought of a bazillion parallels to life. We get so busy. One day, we open our eyes and it may be paper piles, cleaning, weight, or finances that have gotten out of control. Or maybe all of the above. Remnants of past good intentions are hidden in a messy drawer or a box in the basement. Systems that once controlled your life are now in shambles. What's a person to do?
And, this week I am working on a site dedicated to DIY Frugal! I started one on Blogger but my computer savvy husband talked me into using a wordpress theme instead which is way cool but there's a little learning curve that needs hurdling this weekend to get the site up and running!
And, here the awesome button Jo-Lynne created for me this AM! Love it! It doesn't link anywhere yet since I am still waiting for my domain to register. Much to do yet!
Nicely done. When does the new blog come out? I'd like to get started on my mid life mohterhood blog soon. Just trying to make the time amid all the preparations for baby might make that difficult!
