Weekend Round-Up #116

Today's a busy day for our household. School function and a birthday party on top of the usual housework,  laundry, etc.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Here is some reading for you if you find a few spare moments!

FINANCIAL:

• 10 big deductions too many of us miss from MSN Money is a great list you need to thumb through before filing your taxes.
• Conversely, 10 deductions you shouldn't even try from MSN Money is another list that you need to be aware of. 
• 7 habits that keep you in debt at MSN Money might be an eye-opener for you.  We used to be slave to 4 of these 7.  Now only occasionally indulge in one of them although I feel it is much more under control. 
• Women and Money: Why We Stress, and How to Beat It at LearnVest is a great read!  Sign up for their financial bootcamp like I did.  It's a great resource if you're getting started, a firm reminder if you need reinforcements, and is followed up by a lot of great articles like this one.

FAMILY/LIFE: 

• When You Feel Overwhelmed by Your Workload by Michael Hyatt was such a timely post for me and I just had to share it.  It can't just be him and me in this boat! 
• There be dragons. by Jon Acuff is perfect for the little boost of inspiration that you might just need today.
