Thanks as well to Nature Moms, the host of this week’s Festival of Frugality, for including my article on conquering Chuck E. Cheese as an editor’s pick over there! (This isn’t going to my head, honest! ) And thanks to The Simple Dollar for mentioning my invest-in-yourself article in his “Airport Edition” roundup this week!
