Today there was a Festival posted over at Money Smart Life. There are 17 entries this week, which is pretty manageable. I am assuming that is due to the holidays. Head on over and take a look.

Yes, I actually feel guilt this morning for sending my little Princess off to school without a Christmas gift for her busdriver. What is the world coming to???
