Make It Monday

Hope you had a good weekend!

Fall is certainly in the air here in GA & I am lovin' it! I love the cooler weather, the pumpkin patches, trick-or-treating, etc......everything that comes along with Fall.

What I don't love right now is the state of our economy. Can I get an Amen on that?? Here in my small corner of the world, our gas is mostly supplied from the Gulf & thanks to Hurricane Ike we are suffering from a gas shortage here. A friend of mine said she had 1/8 tank of gas left and passed 4 gas stations on the way to church yesterday morning that were out of gas! And if you are lucky enough to find a gas station with gas around here, its over $4 per gallon! Now that is getting a little bit scary if I do say so myself!

Being a SAHM on a single family income, we are trying to live on the "conservative" side right now. You know, carpooling, combining trips, staying home more...argh! I am a people person and staying home a lot does not work well for me! Maybe that's why I've turned to blogging so much...that's my way of "getting out" and seeing what's going on in the world around me. Anyone else in the same boat?

Speaking of the blogging world, I am sure a lot of you have read on various blogs about Nie Recovery. You can read about their story here: Nie Recovery . Long story short, at church today another friend of mine who doesn't do a whole lot of blogging mentioned this story and how she heard bloggers had raised over $100,000 for this family. Now what kind of amazing community of bloggers is that! Makes me proud to be a part of the blogosphere, that's for sure! My thought & prayers continue to be with this family.

So, what does all this rambling have to do with Make It Monday you ask? Well, my question for you is this. I want to know what you are doing to "make it" in the current state of our lovely economy right now? Please show me some comment love and share with us any money saving, frugal-living tips you may have. Considering I currently have over 100 entries on my current contest, I know someone is reading my little blog here, so go ahead and share your tips!

And as always, if you have something you'd like to give away on Win It Wednesday, please send me an email by clicking on "email me" on the right side of this page.

Have a Happy Monday & see you tomorrow for Tuesday's Tip!
