Weekend Scoop: A New Blog and a Book Giveaway

by Kay Lynn

I’ve missed writing a weekend scoop the past couple of weeks and now have lots to share with you.

Today’s big news is the unveiling of a new website I started with my sister aptly named Two Savvy Sisters. It’s a site to share deals, freebies or other opportunities to stretch your money even further. If this interests you, head on over and subscribe to our feed.

Around the Web

Don’t miss my articles at other sites. This week I shared photos and a travelogue about our last cruise vacation at Ask Mr. Credit Card.

You might remember that I had some anxiety about traveling with my grandson (alone) last month. It went well and I shared 7 tips for traveling with kids on Couple Money. Don’t miss my article there the previous week on tracking spending.
