Merry ChristmasY'all!

This is my first post on my NEW Netbook, a gift from Hubs this Christmas. Truly, I am blessed; without reading this blog somehow knew this was on My List. ;o)

I also want to take this opportunity to thank all of my readers, many of you from it fledgling days. I'm hoping for bigger and better things in 2011 -- both blogwise, and in my personal life. (Yes, I'll keep you posted on both acconts.) I hope you all had a wonderful, peaceful Christmas, enjoyed the SNOW falling today (how rare is that in the ATL?!!), and have a new year full of wonder and amazement.

I've been rather quite on the postings lately because we've been rather busy with the holidays. And we've all been battling a miserable, nasty cold -which included a trip to the pediatrician yesterday morning for the Tot, to assure that the nasty cough wasn't anything more than a nasty cough. Now Hubs is fighting a fever and just generally feeling rundown. Hopefully, all will be well very soon...

In the meantime, perhaps with my New Toy, I'll be able to post a little more efficiently, and bring you more and better deals in a more timely fashion. This is the first time I've been able to blog from the comfort of our den, as opposed to the computer room upstairs. How cool is that!?!

Thanks again for sticking with Atlanta's Frugal Mom. God bless you all! :o)

P.S. I never *did* get the Turbie Twist this year -- perhaps it'll roll over to next year's list. Or perhaps Santa didn't see it at the bottom of his bag. In any case, with or without it, I am tremendously blessed.

Ditching the Sponge

Ditching the Sponge This summer I accomplished something I once thought unthinkable: I gave up the sponge. It was a gripping addiction, harder to kick than a nasty nicotine habit. ...a habit that had the ability to spar k the silliest of arguments amongst even the best of roomies. Right, SwimBikeMom ? :P But once again, I digress; that's a blog for another day. Perhaps a tad OCD, I was one of *those* people who had a sponge designated for various parts of the kitchen: one for the floor, one for the counters, and another one for dishes. I knew for quite some time that sponges were a breeding ground for all things disgusting; however, I was not keen on the idea of using paper towels, or other disposable products -- I had to find a GREEN alternative to sponges.
