Weekly Roundup
Crazy Weekly Roundup!
Whew....this has been a CRAZY week for the Financially Blonde household. First of all, it is my blog's one year blogiversary, so I wrote about all of my milestones that I reached on Monday. Then on Tuesday, my first published book, Train Your Way To Financial Fitness was released, and to celebrate the book and my blogiversary, I decided to do a giveaway that will last until the end of the month. Wednesday, I was part of another giveaway with 9 other personal finance bloggers who wrote eBooks. I hope you sign up for both giveaways. Who doesn't love free stuff? Thursday I was nominated by my friend Mel at Broke Girl Rich for the Versatile Blogger Award and shared 7 random things about me. My top ten on Friday was for anyone heading to New Orleans next week or anytime, and I also got to write about my book on AOL Jobs because my editor is awesome. Oh, and least I forget, I guest posted on Frugal Rules this week about lessons I learned as my first year as a solopreneur. Whew...this is how I feel right now
My Favorite Reads of the Week:
- Not to be self serving, but Erin from Journey to Saving and Mel from Broke Girl Rich both reviewed my book on their blogs this week. I loved reading their reviews because it is nice to get another perspective. The book writing process is very isolating and it's interesting to get someone else's take on it. Thank you both!
- Debt Debs celebrating her 6 month blogiversary and shared even more creativity with her personal finance bloggers lament and excellent use of pic monkey.
- Laurie at The Frugal Farmer reminded us to not give money more power than it deserves. We are called to do so much more in life rather than worry about money.
- Kassandra at More Than Just Money warned us to not let debt amount to a life sentence.
- My west coast alter ego, Shannon at The Heavy Purse shared some awesome ideas for financial moves to make this Fall.
Thank Yous!
