Weekend Roundup – Spring Break Edition

Snow

It snowed on spring break! That’s not supposed to happen!

Well, spring break is winding down, and it’s been a fairly uneventful week.  We did manage to clean my daughter’s room, meet some friends at the Discovery Place, and run a few errands.

Mostly we just stayed home and spent some time together as a family.  It rained all week, so we were stuck inside.  Late Tuesday afternoon I thought about planting a few seeds in my garden, because the sun was out briefly.  I missed the opportunity though, and it’s a good thing I did.  Yesterday it snowed.  Yes, it snowed at the end of March.  I’m so ready for warmer weather!

The Being Frugal Roundup

Gibble wrote an inspiring post about what to do when you hit a brick wall. Read what Gibble has learned from the various brick walls he’s hit in his life.

Plonkee gives you her top 5 excuses for buying expensive clothes. I use many of the same excuses myself.

Emily gives you some great tips for organizing your home office with her guest post at My Two Dollars. I really need to follow this advice.

Patrick shares some interesting statistics about the areas of the country most likely to procrastinate on filing their taxes. I finally filed my taxes this week, though I haven’t sent the payment yet.

Head over to Milk Your Money to find out what Frank thinks about paying interest on things that lose value. I couldn’t agree more!

Frugal Dad tells us the difference between being frugal and being cheap. He gives a pretty good rundown!

One last note…I’m doing another book giveaway at Lynnae’s Bookshelf! This one is a Christian suspense novel, so if that’s your kind of book, go leave a comment here!

Have a great Saturday!  I’m hoping the weather clears up for a while, so we can get out of the house!
