My next adventure Homemade Bagels
Like I said in my previous post a couple weeks ago, life in my household has been a bit crazy. More about that in future posts. However, it is time to start getting back on the blogging and savings wagon. Since this last month was crazy we are getting low on our stockpile so it is time to catch up on coupons and deals. I was looking at Liz's post on FrugallyBlonde about how to make Homemade Bagels. What a great idea! I can't wait to try this recipe. Lately I have had a craving for bagels and cream cheese. Sounds good right now! What other recipes have you tried recently?

Where have I been?
Where have I been? Life has been a little crazy around my household. As I've mentioned before I work full-time outside the home and then I get home and do my best to take care of my family. My daughter is now active toddler who wants "Mommy" and "Daddy" constantly in the evening and since she gets a good nap time during the day her bedtime has been extended to 8:00/9:00. After getting her to bed, it is pretty much time to go to sleep myself so my blog has been neglected, even my email and my reading up on deals. This comes to my next point. It is wonderful to have a stockpile! I am so grateful for frugal shopping because I'm able to have that freedom of not…

2010 Savings Challenge Update – July 2010
How are you doing on your 2010 Financial goals? Now that my toddler is a toddler I haven't had the chance to write as much about this as I originally planned in the beginning of the year. Before I lose track I wanted to quickly post our savings challenge and our update to it. Check out the category from earlier posts this year. Our goals that will take most of the year to complete: 1. Note a new situation: Switching our daughter into a different daycare. We made the decision to switch her to a more expensive daycare that we felt fits our needs and she is so happy and learning so much. Increase in childcare expenses. 2. Investing: It looks like we will reach about 50% of our…
