Some of you may not think this is a really frugal thing, but it really is. I will explain as I go through the post, so if you are wondering how this is frugal please read on and you will get it (I hope) by the end.
Over the last few months I have seen many things in my life start to spiral out of control. One by one things started to get more and more unorganized and more and more out of control. From My kids, to my home, to our finances. I wrote a bit ago about how we were 1/2 way through the month and realized something was wrong in our finances. We had an emergency meeting and fixed it. We are watching very closely this month and so far have been doing well with it.
So, call me crazy since I am so close to having the baby, but I am getting so tired of my house and life being out of control. As my house and schedule have gotten totally messed up, I have began to see my finances, stock pile, and everything frugal start to bend a little. We have lots of stuff to sell on craigslist and just can’t seem to get it together enough to get it ready to sell. So as you can see I desperately need to not only take my house back, but my life back. I decided that since the baby was coming and I didn’t want to overwhelm myself, I would start with the house and try to feel like I had done things each day to make progress toward the house I want.
I am hoping some of you will join me in this so we can support each other in this. i am planning on having a 10:00am update and a 6:00pm update on all the things I have gotten done and also I hope you will report as well. This way we can support and encourage each other to get our houses in order so we can live a better, frugal life. I will be posting my plan tomorrow as well as to how I am going to begin to make progress.
So is there anyone who will be joining me??

Today is Mega Swgbucks Day. Be sure you use Swagbucks to search today (and everyday!) because you can win up to 100 Swagbucks for 1 search!
If you never use Swagbucks before, here are a few pointers for you so you can make the most of Swagbucks and get your prizes faster.
- When you first sign up you will get 30 Swagbucks jut for signing up.
- As you search through the day using the search engine, you will get anywhere from 1-1000 Swagbucks randomly. This is just for using Swagbucks to do your searches, you don’t have to do anything special other then search.
- Swagbucks releases a Swagcode each day at different places (on their blog, in their newsletter, on affiliate sites). Insert these codes into the box under your account info to get more Swagbucks so you earn your prizes faster.
- As you earn more Swagbucks you will want to redeem them for Prizes. The best prize you can get is a $5 Amazon Gift Card which is 450 Swagbucks. My first one took me 3 weeks to get enough to get it. That is totally free money!!!! You can save these so you can get enough to get free stuff on Amazon!
We have been able to get a tortilla press, a skillet for frying tortillas, cycling stuff for my husband, a tricycle for my daughter, my husbands LSAT books and a wii game all for under $25 because we used Amazon gift cards from Swagbucks for the rest of it!
We are now saving for an Apple Store Gift Card.
