Weekend Round-Up #80

FINANCIAL:
I was included this week in the Totally Money Carnival: Tax Day Edition hosted by The College Investor. Click over and get a hold of some great reads!
21 Financial Questions to Improve Your Marriage at Christian PF is a great list for all couples...engaged, newly married, struggling with finances, or secure. The more you talk, the more you can work this together.
72 Questions to Find the Perfect House at fiscal fizzle is a great tool to have for those of you house-shopping right now! It even works (mostly) for renting.
The Dark Side of Being Self-Employed at Personal Dividends is a great post that working for yourself is not always everything you dreamed it would be.
Why Dont Coupons Work? at Financially Poor is a great no-frills kind of post.

FAMILY/LIFE:
a heart wrenching moment at Work, Wife, Mom...Life! reminds me of a post I did just few days ago. I know how she feels...and it sucks.
Declutter and Get Amazon Credit at The Prudent Pantry offers a great tip for decluttering without the hassle of having to handle individual sales!

FAITH:
Sunday Funnies -- the Cartoonist and the Creator
at Red Letter Believers is a tribute to Johnny Hartof cartoonist fame. His beliefs were obvious in his artwork (which always did seem surprisingly...but happily obviously printed in secular papers) but I didn't know his story. What a great story.

FUN:
#262 The smell of the barbecue at 1000 Awesome Things is, in fact, awesome. Although we cook on the (gas) grill year round (we live in the southern US), a few days ago someone fired up their charcoal grill and it was HEAVENLY!
