My Frugal Year

I’ve never been one for New Years Resolutions. Too easily made and easily forgotten. This year, I do have some goals for the year and one of them is to get back to regular blogging on frugality, saving money, making money and in general making wise decisions around money.

2009 and 2010 brought some unexpected hurdles for our family, and some unexpected blessings too. Sadly, I let all that derail my blogging. My husband being rear-ended by an irresponsible driver in 2009 really started a chain of events that affected our family in many ways. My best laid plans for budgeting and finance were blown to bits as we struggled through his being unable to work for six months. All that is joyfully behind us now – he’s well and back to work and we’re getting back on track. In 2010 we were even able to take our first ever family vacation which was incredible.

My hope for 2011 is to learn a lot and share my finds here.

Happy New Year to everyone!
