Win a Deluxe Happy Simple Living Gift Basket
In honor of the January Money Diet, I’ll be giving away a gift basket chock-full of home and garden goodies plus several books at the end of the month. On January 31, 2013, I’ll draw one random name from everyone who commented during the month and that lucky person will win the gift basket. I hope you’ll stop by often this month and share your own ideas, thoughts and experiences about taking a 31-day break from nonessential spending.

Thank you so much, Eliza, for the links. New people to follow who are finding success and contentment through frugal and simple living! (I try to promote the same at @LivingSmply4Him on Twitter.) I was just thinking today, “only a few more days before I can spend more freely again;” then my husband said, “This has been a really good growth experience. Let’s continue it for the rest of the year!” He’s right. And it supposedly takes only 40 days to establish a habit…
I’m glad to know about your Twitter feed, too, Judy – good luck with your new habit and I hope it allows you to do some great things this year.
Thanks for including me in your roundup! I’m in great company!
