Where I blog, Part 2

Karen has already shown you where she blogs.  I don’t have a particular setup.  I love my laptop.  I blog whenever and wherever I get a chance.  If my kids are playing in the living room, I blog on my couch (the most common place).  If Turkey Butt is taking a bath, sometimes I blog […]

Free lifetime membership at Freepeats

I love the idea of Freepeats!  It is a great web site for giving your baby, kid, and maternity stuff away.  Granted, you don’t make any money by selling your stuff, but you also don’t have to take it anywhere.  All you have to do is post that you have something to give away and […]

Live Traffic Feeds

This doesn’t really have anything to do with being thrifty.  Consider it food for thought.
I’ve seen several blogs out there lately that have a box in the corner labeled Live traffic feed that tells incoming visitors’ blog names as well as the location of the blogger.  This may seem really cool to see all the places […]
