The Holidays are Coming! The Holidays are Coming!

"Therefore encourage each other with these words." 1Thessalonians 4:18

Instead of me trying to re-invent the wheel today... 

I'm juz gunna send y'all over to one of my favorite blogs that I try t'visit ever'a day! 

"Tips to Stay On Budget Throughout the Holiday Season"
(click on the BLUE letters to link to websites!)

Who couldn't use more encouragement in THIS area?
If I think about it long enough... I may have something to add to her ideas.... but this gal is really great about doing her homework, covering her basis, and is open to receiving positive feedback.

Andrea Decker of Simply Organized Living ... is an amazing and energetic young mother with a lot of great organizing tips for home & family. I try to read her blog daily for a variety of fun motivational projects, get inspired to write something, or just to get another perspective on things as a woman and a mother. Reading her blog reminds me of myself at that age (but she is waaay cuter!), of how busy I used to be when my kids were small... and that I really DID do a Good Job as a wife and mother... after all! Thanks Andrea & keep up the Great Work!

Just by reading Andrea's blog over the past few weeks I've been able to "springboard" several concept ideas for future blog postings (none published yet) here on "Adventures in BFE." Most have nothing to do with anything she has written specifically... but just seem to have a lot of "ta-da" moments while reading which sends me into a writing frenzy that I've gotta write down before it vanishes!

So needless to say... she is encouraging for me (even though I'm sometimes jealous of how much energy can she exude through a computer monitor!)

Stay posted with www.simplyorganizedliving.com  as she usually has really cool GIVE AWAYS on the weekends!!! 

Enjoy!!!
