Shameless Promotion: First Day Of Sun Edition

Those of you in the Northeast (and even elsewhere) may have noticed it’s been raining for about a month.

Here in Maine, we had our wetest June on record, and today for the first time, we all saw blue sky. Needless to say, people were pretty happy and it felt like we were all caught up in the sappiness of a Disney movie. It made me think about being grateful for things we normally take forgranted.

Some cool things from around the internet this week:

Not Driving Your Less-Frugal Friends Crazy (Wisebread)
I feel like such a putz when I can’t join my friends for breakfast out, but Wisebread addresses the issue of watching spending without making friends feel bad about theirs.

Shameless Promotion: On The Road Again Edition

Happy Monday!

As the long weekend approaches, I’m getting ready to head northward to my hometown of Fort Kent for a wedding and some family time.

I’ve been doing some fun reading as usual, sadly more than I ever have time to highlight on this blog. That’s why I’m excited to be on Digg now. So I will try to give props to cool articles I don’t get to write about on the blog on my Digg account (breakingeven), or you can navigate to it in my menu on the left.

In the meantime, some money saving links, money making links, and fun links for your pleasure.

Kacie at Sense To Save reminded me of free weekends this summer at national parks. This month: July 18 and 19.

Shameless Promotion: The Smelling The Flowers Edition

The peonies bushes outside my window have finally bloomed. Of course, I didn’t have the forsight to take photos of them while it was light out but I am enjoying their fragrance wafting in while I sit at my desk.

It is important to stop and smell those flowers, isn’t it? Here are some fun things I’ve stopped to read recently:

(Author’s Note: This post was way longer but then my computer timed out and I lost most of it. A reminder to save often, fellow online writers!)

Shameless Promotion: The It's Been Too Long Edition

I subscribe to over 200 blogs and websites but you certainly wouldn’t know it from my blog recently. I’ve basically had time to read and bookmark and that’s about it. And then I get frustrated that my stuff isn’t getting linked!

Yeah, I get it; it’s time to pop out of my oh-my-life-is-a-whirlwind-of-change bubble and do a little aknowledgement of cool things going on elsewhere online, because there are certainly plenty.

Shameless Promotion: The Post Toddler Edition

Over the weekend, I had two great house guests. One is my V-have friend S. The other was her 1.5 year old daughter I. To keep my apartment from being the potential death trap it normally is, I looked around, squatting, hoping to spot the potential hazards. I...
