Well, I’m appearing in a few different places this week.
I’ve started writing for the online magazine “Blissfully Domestic” as their gardening diva! Check out my first article: “Gardening-Try Not to Kill It“. There are tons of other great articles at “BD” on all sorts of topics important (or just fun for) women. Browse around and enjoy while you are over there.
I’ve also entered this weeks Festival of Frugality, hosted at SquawkFox, with my Frugal Food Series Part 4: Ground Meat. Lots of other great reading there!
Speaking of the Festival-I used to do a weekly Festival of Frugality roundup, highlighting my favorite articles from the festival. Does anyone miss that?






I think some people must like festivals, carnivals and roundups, since there seem to be so many of them.
Personally, I almost never read a post that is a festival, carnival or round-up. I’d much rather read an original post.
Congrats on your new gig at Blissfully Domestic! We’re proud of you!!
Hi Jenn: Thank you for linking back to the Bare Necessities Edition of the Festival of Frugality! I think a single weekly roundup post is a good way to connect in a conversation with fellow bloggers and readers.
Linking back to a carnival you participated in is essential for the Carnival and Personal Finance etc. Carnivals are a type of link fest, and only work if participants return the love, as you have done. Cheers!
I agree with Annie-I don’t read the festivals-but I will look at links if they appear pertinent to what I want to know.
Congratulations on the Blissfully Domestic gig!
Squakfox-Just to clarify, I always link to a carnival or festival that I’ve participated in, and frequently link to other folks articles. What I used to do was read the entire carnival and then provide a personal in depth review of 3 or 4 of the articles that I particularly liked from the carnival. It took a long time each week to do. . .
