Tell us a little about yourself My current lifestyle would probably qualify as frugal-lite compared to many others. I was a bit intimidated by this, but then I figured I probably wasn’t the only person out there who isn’t ultra-frugal at the moment. Before kids, I spent my free-time volunteering at a stray rescue shelter for dogs.

This week I am participating in a Yakezie blog swap where I am to discuss the topic “ Balancing Frugality and Fun.”. Frugal fun? Isn’t frugal fun an oxymoron? The weather is finally getting warmer and from now until October, there will be so many free entertainment options that we’ll have to pass most of them up.
