Today has been flying by. I planned to email you first thing this morning, but with not one but two birthday's in the family, some errands to run and a tiller to fix (in preparation for the gardening this spring), the day got away from me a bit. 

Before I sit down and help my daughter with her Valentine's for school tomorrow (can you tell we are procrastinators around here?), I thought I'd take a minute to tell you about two great kindle books that are free today. 

The first is my Thrifty Bean cookbook. It has 35 great recipes for my favorite frugal food - beans. You can find it at 

The second book is from my friends Tawra and Jill over at LivingOnADime.com. It's called "All About Laundry" and it is packed full of great tips and recipes for homemade cleaners. 

You can download Tawra and Jill's Kindle book at:
