My first reflex upon stumbling downstairs every morning is to turn on the computer and sign into email. Imagine my surprise when I noticed a track back waiting to be approved from Smart Spending at MSN Money Central, and a whole lot of new traffic! Thanks Donna, for the nice mention!
And welcome to new readers! A little bit about me: Although I’m American, I’ve been living in France for eight years. I have a French husband and three young French-American kids. I also have a heap of student loans and a (small) Ikea addiction, which might possibly keep me from being totally clear-headed as to where my money should go. 
I’m almost frugal. I talk about frugality, France and food (for kids and grown-ups), kids’ activities and my struggles with my budget.

Congrats on the nod from MSN – I read the article – that was great!
Dana’s last blog post..Dear Elijah
Thanks Dana!
That is great that you got a post on MSN. I had a post featured on there last week and I’ve seen my subscriber count go up by about 40 or 50 readers. That was right after the debut of FBN so I’m not sure how much of the increase is due to FBN and how much is due to MSN but it is probably mostly from MSN.
