It’s been a big week for Carnivals and Festivals around here! Let’s jump right in!
I participated in the All Women Blogging Carnival with my post Of Pilgrims, Thankfulness, and a Worthy Goal. A posts I liked was:
- The #1 Reason Why You Will Fail as a Blogger at Super Blogging. I think this is the #1 reason people fail at any life endeavor.
Stock Trading To Go hosted the Carnival of Personal Finance. I participated with Reader Question: Cash or Debit Card? Other posts of note are:
- Saving Money on Books at Brip Blap. I love reading, and I love saving money! Maybe I should re-read the Little House on the Prairie series soon. Maybe I’ll even post about it.
- Our Journey to Financial Freedom #8 - My Personal Finance Mind Tricks at My Wealth Builder. These are some really great ideas. I wonder if I can trick my mind into saving money?
I also participated in the Festival of Frugality, hosted at Cheap Healthy Good. My post How Blogging Changed Me was included. I also liked:
- Big Purchases Need Big Research at A Penny Closer. Ain’t that the truth! Do NOT skimp on research when you’re spending a lot of money!
- Rechargeable Batteries Can Save You Money and Help the Environment at My Two Dollars. I have no idea what I did before we switched over to rechargeable batteries. Seriously.
Finally, The Dividend Guy hosted the Carnival of Money Stories. He included my post My Only Investing Experience. Don’t miss:
- What’s the Right Age to Start an Allowance? at Raising 4 Boys. We use the same method, but we start at age 5. And we change the system at age 10. I’ll write more about that soon, as my daughter turns 10 in a couple of months.
- My “No Shop By Default” Day at I’ve Paid for This Twice Already. I can relate. I’m not very good at “doing” Black Friday either.
And I had the privilege of hosting the Carnival of Debt Reduction this week. Next week it will be at Blogging Away Debt, so don’t forget to submit your posts.
That’s all for this week! Thanks to all the hosts and participants for some great reading!

Every time I submit something to the carnivals and someone highlights I am really grateful, and this time is no exception! Thanks for highlighting my post, and get out those old books - I’ve been going on a serious nostalgia trip and I’m loving it. Right now I’m reading a book I shouldn’t have read when I was little - Dracula - but I did. It really creeped me out but Bram Stoker did such a great job with it that it’s really a masterpiece. So many classics are dismissed because of association with pop culture. Dracula was one, LHOTP was another. I read all of those when I was a kid, too, and they are great - it’s almost like a time machine. I may have to drag those out, too, although I have no idea WHERE in my parent’s house/attic those books are packed away!

I’m looking forward to hearing more about your allowance system.

Wow.. how are great are you to put all these carnivals in one place for us ? Also thanx for the link love.
Between innkeeping, horsekeeping and going from big city life to the wonderful wild west, there are days when it becomes an unprecedented opportunity in creativity.. Not to mention a faith in G-d!!
