I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a long weekend. I know Christmas break just ended, but I could use a day for just hanging out with the kids. If the weather is nice, maybe we’ll brave the park on Monday. If not, maybe we’ll have a movie and popcorn day.

Lynnae,
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. You are my favorite of all the frugal blogs out there. So many have centered themselves around outsmarting the coupon system that they forget that there are more important, practical things they can be doing to change the overall health of their financial lives. I really appreciate your hard work! You are doing an awesome job!
