Exchanging link love in the blogging community is like waiving to your neighbor as you walk past their home. Hmm…I guess I’m not a very friendly neighbor. LOL So I’m going to make an effort to be more “neighborly” in the personal finance blogosphere – and remain consistent throughout the year – by linking to my favorite articles from the previous week. Occasionally, I may throw in a little non-PF love too. What better way to spend your Sundays with Single Ma! ;-)

What it do blogger fam?
I haven’t been in the mood for blogging this week. I guess it’s because my BabyGirl is back home and we spend all evening just talking and reconnecting. For the past few nights, I haven’t gone to bed until after midnight because I’ve tried to give her my undivided attention until she goes to bed. Then I’m left with a laundry list of things to do before I can turn in.
Also, with school back in session, we haven’t re-adjusted to our regular routine yet. We’ve both been getting up late and rushing off to work/school in the morning. I forgot that she had to be picked up by 6pm on Wednesday night, so she had to bum a ride. Oops! I was still in summer work mode, gotta leave on time now. I also forgot to tell her good luck on her job interview yesterday. *smh* Geez, a summer off and I forgot how to be a responsible mom. LOL But no worries, I’ll get it together soon.
Until then, here’s some interesting reading for ya:
