The Carnival of All Things Eco is up at Focus Organic. I really enjoyed the post from Elizabeth about hemp production in the US. I’m a huge fan of hemp - it’s sustainable, durable, and can be used for a multitude of purposes (for many of which we currently use petroleum products). We have an [...]
The Carnival of Money Stories is up at Bible Money Matters. Check out this story from Mrs. Accountability - it’ll make you shudder, I promise! I also liked the post from Harvesting Dollars about kids working during high school. I have to agree - By the time I was a senior in high school, I [...]
The Carnival of Money Stories is up at Piggy Bank Blues. Check out the post from Amateur Asset Allocator about the ideal 401k. Sounds good to me. And I enjoyed Paid Twice’s post about how life is meant to be lived. Good point for frugal folk to keep in mind. Out of Debt Again has [...]
The post I wrote about our organic crib mattress was included today in the All Things Eco Carnival. This blog began as a finance/frugality blog, but I’ve noticed that I tend to write quite a bit about eco-friendly living and ways that we incorporate frugal and green practices into our life. So I wanted to [...]
The 154th Carnival of Personal Finance is up at Canadian Dream: Free At 45. (for some reason, this blog title makes me think of Dream Academy’s “Life In A Northern Town” which puts me in a good mood).
I love the post from Budgets Are Sexy about the stages of “no spending” stints. I really like [...]
The Carnival of Personal Finance is up at Money and Values. I loved the post from One Caveman’s Financial Journey about buying worms for the composter. I remember a few years ago when my husband set up our compost bins, and we were just getting started with composting our scraps. A few days later it [...]
The Festival of Frugality is up at Sound Money Matters. Lots of good ideas and entertaining reading.  I completely agree with Money Blue Book’s post about higher gas prices (hopefully) leading to a decrease in the number of cars on the road.  I will always walk or bike if it’s a reasonable alternative. If I’m going [...]
The Carnival Of Personal Finance is up at The Happy Rock. I was excited to see my entry as an editor’s pick! Amy Clark has a great post about her version of the American Dream - I can very much relate. And I enjoyed the reminder that that money really is for spending - whether we [...]
The 121st Festival of Frugality is up at Rather Be Shopping. I loved Frugal Homemaker’s post about frugality, choices and luck. My husband and I get told that we’re lucky to be able to work from home. I guess people don’t see the years that we spent living on rice and beans, struggling to make [...]
The 148th Carnival of Personal Finance is up at Gather Little By Little. Lots and lots of good reading to be found. I enjoyed the post from My Two Dollars about surviving financially without a corporate income. Five years ago, I left a corporate job where I was making pretty good money and on a [...]
