Have you started thinking about Christmas yet? Not in the way that you’re ready to see decorations in the store or listen to Christmas music, necessarily. (Can we celebrate at least Halloween first, please??)
I’m talking about mapping out a plan…maybe even buying some gifts!
Frugal folks are planners, so it’s time to start that plan!

Last week I got to attend my first ever blogging conference (Bloggy Con for the curious!). It was fantastic!
If you’ve ever gone to any sort of conference, you know that you come away from it with this “high” for accomplishing great things. I’m so excited to pour these ideas into the blog!
The reason I was able to attend this conference was because my family could come along, too. It’s held at Cedar Point (which is an amazing amusement park…a must do for roller coaster enthusiasts!). The hotel we stayed at was within easy walking distance of the park. So for 3 days, the family got to ride rides while I learned about blogging.
This is why you fight to get out of debt!! You want your money to be used for the things you love the most. Who wants to keep treading water with bill companies??
For the past few weeks, I’ve really struggled to write a new 5 Ways We’ve Saved Money This Weekpost. I finally realized that it’s probably because not only are we not saving a lot of money….I’m actually spending more than usual.
It’s part guilt and part pregnancy brain.
Now, it’s important to me that you don’t take this post as an anti-pregnancy rant. While I’m not a big fan of being pregnant, it’s always worth it in the end. 🙂
I’m finally ready to announce some big news! Our medium sized family is going to grow a little “extra medium sized”. Some have told me that I’m going to have to rebrand my whole blog now! haha! I’m not sure about doing all of that.
But I am excited to tell you that we are expecting baby number six! Baby is due in February (but will probably show up in March, since I’m always very overdue).
In the interest of soaking up the last few rays of summer break, this week’s frugal Friday post is going to be short and sweet. In fact, let’s jump right in!
