About Me

I am a not yet 55 year old woman married for 25+ years, 4 kids, 1 dog and 1 cat. The kids are beginning to leave home. One is launched, one is in college and 2 are still at home. As a couple we are entering the final stage of our parenting journey: the teenage years and beyond. We are starting to dream and think and plan for those years when the house is quiet and it is just us once again. Please join me as I explore what it means to grow older with adventure and grace.

Blogs Worth A Click: Savings Addition

January is coming, the time when all good people wished they had spent a little less at Christmas. While it is not yet January here are some sites that help us save money all year.

The blog that inspired this addition of Blogs Worth A Click: Frugal Shopping With Julie

Lots of coupons, good deals and if you have a CVS that actually has the specials in stock (unlike my local one which is just an exercise in aggravation trying to get the deals) check out Julie's site on Fridays for a list of the deals that week.

Personal Budgeting and Finance has a very good series on "How to Handle a Recession"

Iowahippiechick a fun to read blog with lots of good ideas.

Ms. Frugal McDougal tips and great recipes for the frugal cook.

"Cents"able Momma has inspired me to learn to work the Walgreen's deals.

The 99 Cent Chief more good low cost recipes. This guy finds amazing bargain!

Your Family Fun inexpensive ideas for having fun with your kids. Check out the marshmallow snowmen.

Gathering Little By Little and The Simple Dollar are blogs that help you think through the philosophy of frugal living. Well written, informative, practical, probably not what you'd expect, both are well worth a click.

Now for the fun part, I know there are tons of great money saving blogs. If you are a fellow blogger, leave your url and the url of the frugal/moneysavig blog you love so I can put them both in a follow up post. Link love all around!

Blogs Worth A Click: Odd and Interesting Addition

Not odd in the gross sense but in WoW that is interesting sense. These are individual posts on specific blogs. I can't vouch for the content of other posts on these blogs but these posts are worth a click. There is no rhyme or reason in how I listed them. This is just an eclectic list of posts that are different.

This woman sells luscious hand dyed yarns. If you knit or love a knitter this is a colorful, craving inspiring site: Daefea.

Here is an easy fun baking project for young children and/or dieting adults. A cake with just two store bought ingredients posted on The Daily Dish. I did this and it works great! I would not advise using butter pecan and orange though.

A Lego robot that can solve a Rubik's cube at Techizr (this is really cool!) Techizr references sites that will tell you how to build on of your own. This might be a appreciate gift for a tech savvy child (or adult)

A blog about street drummers, great videos: BucketBeats

A alternative use of a tampon courtesy of Green Stew. You could bookmark this idea for next Holloween

Kitchen Reto is a blast from the past.

I love the idea for this blog. Helpful and inspiring for the busy mom, A Year of CrockPotting.

Do you have an odd but interesting blog you would like to share? If so, please leave a comment.
