Carnivals and Links, The Inaugural Sick Edition

This week has been a little crazy. After spending two days on the couch I gave in and went to the doctor yesterday- twice. Luckily they only charged me once. Though the meds they put me on have me all over the place, I'm still more productive than I was earlier in the week.

Me on the web:
This week my article about repurposing junk mail envelopes made it into the 122nd edition of the Festival of Frugality - The Supercapitalism Edition! It's a great place to get wide range of frugal ideas.

Over at Get Rich Slowly another use for the piles of mail you get, this time for the garden. I don't have anywhere to mulch at the moment, but once we buy a house I'll be giving this a shot.

Lynnae asked readers what they make from scratch. The comment link to lots of recipes that sound great.

And for May:
I'm excited to see what a few mom bloggers come up with for 3 Mom's, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days. Their budgets put our monthly grocery budget to shame. Learn more with the kickoff post.
