I'm literally sitting in the midst of piles of luggage while I write this newsletter. We'll be flying out shortly and, when we get back, we'll have to dive right into the back to school rush. We prepared as much as possible before we left, but I'm sure there will be plenty of last minute items to take care of. How are you doing with your back to school preparations?

This week's featured article shares two great "Back to School" tips and as an extra surprise, I'm including a crockpot cooking recipe booklet.

This week's quote and story are about the importance of education, but also about how important it is that your child is reminded that no matter what a day away at school brings, you will always be there. Please take a moment to read and enjoy. I had a lot of fun putting this together for you and I hope you enjoy it as well. Please take a moment to look through the "I'm Looking for " requests and help a reader out with a recipe if you can. Of course you are always welcome to also share a frugal recipe or tip.  
 
Warm Regards,
