My First Week in Review

Well, this was my very first week as a blogger for the Families.com Frugal Living Blog. It has been so much fun, and I’ve already met some great people. I can’t wait to get to know all of you better. In addition to writing blogs, you’ll see me pop up on the forums here and there.

I am really interested to know what you think of the articles I have posted so far. Please feel free to comment and share your suggestions. Do you want to see more articles on beauty, food, home improvement or something else? I’ve tried to post a mix of topics this week.

In case you missed any of the blogs, here is a recap of the week:
