this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

Good thing The Tall One got paid today, I just spent it all on plane tickets! So much for spending less than we earned this month. But that's another post.

I didn't submit posts to any carnivals this week, but I was the featured blogger over at Frugal Hacks. That was enough fame and glory for this week.

Here's some picks from this week:

• What Currency Do You Use To Measure Your Life? At Mrs. Micah - Looking at a bunch of little accomplishments can really add up


• Teaching Kids The Importance of a Dollar at The Penny Mine - I always am interested in posts that talk about teaching kids about money, this one has some good insights.


• Gazelle Intensity: How Fast Is It? at Gather Little By Little - This was a reassuring read, considering my recent purchases noted above. You can still be a gazelle even if you slow down and take pay lots of money for a family vacation.


• I Don't Care How Much Money I Save At Wal-Mart: I Hate It! at Remodeling This Life - You all seemed to click through the last time I posted a Wal-mart post, so here's another one. I dare you not to laugh while reading it.


• Quit Being a One Woman Show! at Frugal Hacks - Go simple, your friends will still like you, I promise

Happy blog reading! Have a great weekend!
