Weekend Roundup- Fall is in the Air Edition

Its been a bit cooler and drier this past week or so, which is a nice break from the stifling humidity that is the norm for the summer months down here in the gulf south. I love the Fall! A great time for outdoor activities, and football season too!

I participated in 3 carnivals this past week-

Amanda at Value for Your Life hosted the Festival of Frugality #145- The Gratitude Edition and included my article ” Money Saving Ideas for Halloween Costumes, Decorations, and Treats”.

Great reads from the FOF:
