By now, you're Facebook feed is probably blowing up with folks "claiming" an offer, right?  And by now, you've probably caught on to what's going on, or are starting to wonder, right?  Well, most of these "free" offers aren't free, and some aren't even offers.  Facebook fan pages have the option of using a credit to try this feature out, and many are testing the waters.  Based on the feedback being shared in many of the frugal blogger groups I'm in, the overwhelming opinion about these things is consistently that they stink! I will not utilize this Facebook feature.  Period.  The End. ...and honestly, it's not because they're shady, or annoying.  I'm just cheap.   (To be blunt: I'm not making more than a few dimes off this blog, so I can't afford to pay for ANY thing blog-related!) In any case, rest assure, Atlanta's Frugal Mom will not post "offers" via Facebook.  You must wire me money first, then I

My son frequently turns heads these days when we're out and about.  And not just from his dashing good looks either!  ....let me back up a little:  I used to spend meals out eating with one hand.  My son's bottle in the other hand, feeding a hungry baby.  It was miserable.   And then my husband found a solution: the Podee bottle system!  This genius feeding system features a regular bottle, and nipple, but further includes a set of tubes to allow your baby to take the bottle -much like he would a paci- with the bottle free to rest nearby.  For younger babies who can't yet hold their bottle, and even older babies who may frequently drop, the Podee will allow instant access to the bottle, while freeing caregiver's hands! In addition, parents of multiples can achieve more productive feedings with the Podee!  Imagine, being able to simultaneously feed two or thee (or more!) babies at once, all while keeping your hands free! My son, enjoying a bottle before nodding

In the last year or so, the number of "deal/frugal bloggers" has exploded exponentially!  I started Atlanta's Frugal Mom as a means to share my money-saving strategies with my continuously growing reader base. However, as happens, life seems to slow down the pace of the blog.  The idea of AFM was born shortly after my daughter was born, and became a reality about a year thereafter.  In the meantime, -well- life continued to happen.  I started teaching preschool, and then found out our cozy family of three would be expanding, along with my waistline.  ;o)  With pregnancy and then the birth of my son, the blog simply had to take a backseat. While I feel like I've learned much about myself and about blogging in the process, as well as met many incredible bloggers -many of whom I am now proud to call my friends- I feel like I fell behind the times a bit, so to speak.  I've given careful consideration to the direction AFM needs to take, in order to continue to stay rel
