    ]]>     Well I’ve been bitten by the “spring cleaning” bug. There are several large decluttering projects I have planned for the coming weeks. We’re also going to be planting our garden and the kids are really geared up for spring break.

    ]]>     Happy Valentine’s Day! We’re celebrating the holiday pretty low key. I baked some homemade cupcakes for the kids and we’ll have homemade pizza as a treat later on. I did decorate the kitchen table with a Valentine theme tablecloth from the dollar store and some pink and white streamers that I had from a previous party.

    Here is a roundup of the carnival and festivals we participate in this past week:

    The Carnival of Personal Finance hosted at Dollar Frugal. I loved the Wizard of Ox theme of this week’s carnival. The articles in the festival were very good but it’s worth checking out for the pictures alone!

    The Festival of Frugality hosted at Broke Grad Student.

    Money Hacks Carnival on Your Money Relationship.

    I also came across some interesting articles from the Frugal Blog Network:

    Almost Frugal discusses how to frugalize your routine.

    Frugal Babe asks how many financial blows could you withstand?

    The Frugal Duchess averted an emotional spending binge.

    Tight Fisted Miser continues his review of Your Money or Your Life.

    ]]>     We finished taking the outdoor Christmas decorations down yesterday and everything is all boxed up and put away. I made my master list of what Christmas decorations we have and what gifts I purchased for next year. I stapled this list to my 2009 calendar in the month of August, which is when I usually start my Christmas shopping. Here are some posts that I enjoyed reading this past week from the Frugal Blog Network and beyond.

    Almost Frugal shares her 2009 resolutions.

    Frugal Babe discusses how they lowered their health insurance premium by raising their deductible.

    Frugal Zeitgeist welcomes the new year with a cleaning frenzy.

    The Frugal Duchess shares some ways to save on home technology costs.

    The Tight Fisted Miser lists the 5 things you should get for free.

    From beyond:

    American Consumer News has some great tips on making financials simple in 2009.

    Karen at MSN Smart Spending reminds everyone that January is the time to hit those thrift stores.

    Trent at The Simple Dollar has a very interesting article on how the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act which goes into effect February 10, 2009 is going to drive up the price of children’s clothing.
