We’re going to have to bundle up for soccer today.
Well, it’s been a nice sunny week. Highs in the 70s an lots of sunshine. Our family took walks and enjoyed the outdoors. We were looking forward to the kids’ soccer games today, until we read the forecast for the weekend. Snow. Unbelievable. So think of me today, as I’m still recovering from last week’s cold. I’ll be sitting out in the freezing snow and rain watching a couple of soccer games this morning.
Being Frugal News
You probably noticed my post about being interviewed for an article that ran on CNN.com yesterday. Because of that article, I had my best traffic day ever yesterday. It was pretty exciting for me! And thanks to all the CNN readers who stopped by, left comments, and took time to email me. I always love hearing from readers! In my opinion, that’s the best part of blogging!
Also, the M-Network has a brand new website. Make sure you check it out. Pinyo put a lot of work into it, and it looks great!

Thanks for mentioning my article! And congrats again on the CNN interview.
Hope the snow isn’t really much snow…just that last fake attempt of the snow before true spring.
Thanks for mentioning the post, I think Jonathan has some excellent points.
We’ve had fabulously gorgeous weather all week too. This morning, Wes planned to take the kids riding on the trail and it’s raining! I’ll be stuck in the yucky weather thinking of you stuck in the yucky weather. Hope it doesn’t cause a relapse.
Congratulation on the CNN interview. That’s awesome.
Great Roundup…the visa prank pages were hilarious! Also, congratulations on the CNN interview.
I can’t believe you’ve got snow, especially after a nice week. I don’t know much about the stuff, I think it’s snowed here maybe 2 or 3 times that I can remember. Today, we have a sunny 70 degrees, beautiful weather:)
Awesome, Lynnae! I’m excited to learn you were featured on CNN!!!

She goes to the homes of severely indebted couples and teaches them to live without credit cards or debit cards and to re-work their budgets for their lifestyles. She is awesome! She has a website full of advice under her own name.
I like your site! It is nice to know that I am not the only frugal Mom out there.
