Weekly Round-Up: If It’s Not One Thing, It’s Another

One of the panes on the front door to our current apartment has cracked and needs to be replaced; this afternoon the back windshield to my car exploded. Thank goodness for good insurance!

We’re hip high in boxes and it’s a ‘big mess’ as my kids would say, everywhere you look. On the other hand, we’re only about a week away from living in our new apartment! Woo Hoo!

Meanwhile, here are some of my favorite links from the week:

As always, you can check out the Good Reads page or my Tumblr site Almost Frugal Finds for all my links. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Kelly Rigotti started Almost Frugal as a thirty-something American trying to dig her way out from under a mountain of debt (~€60,000). She's almost frugal and would like to be more so, but shops at Ikea too often for her own good.
