Weekly Roundup
This week I was thinking about moms and motherhood. On Monday, I shared the best financial lesson my mom taught me. On Wednesday, I discussed the learning lessons I got from my son's traumatic mishap in school. On Thursday, I shared my review of Laurie's book How to Teach Your Kids About Money. And I ended the week with my top ten TV moms who were all moms I watched growing up and wished they could raise me, and I also shared a new/old recipe of my mom's that is a great dinner for 4 under $15. This week I also appeared on Young Adult Money and The Frugal Farmer.
My Favorite Reads of the Week
- Kim at Eyes on the Dollar shared some extra benefits to cutting cable or satellite. This has been a big project for us this year that will appear on the blog soon, so I can absolutely relate to these benefits.
- John at Frugal Rules shared his experiment with the $20 Sandwich Trick while in Vegas. I honestly had no idea this even existed, but now I want to try it.
- Andrew at Living Rich Cheaply asked if we were suffering from technology overload, and I definitely feel as though I am at my breaking point and hate to think of how much more plugged in my son is versus where I was at his age.
- Holly at Club Thrifty shared some thoughts and funny stories about dealing with online criticism.
- Wendy at Girl Meets Debt talked about the importance of small indulgences while on the path to financial health.
