Frugal Fridays: A Little Secret
I promise I will finish the series on Simply Centsible Living, but I had to take yet another break today to let you in on a little secret...
My husband wanted to learn the basics of web design a few months ago, so, we decided to have his beginner project be creating a website I've long wanted to produce - a one-stop site on all things frugal from grocery shopping, to homeschooling, to gifts, to utilities, to cooking, and much more.
So many of you are constantly begging for more ideas and insight and articles in this area, but I've not wanted to overrun this site with such. However, knowing there was a need, I've been praying and thinking about how to possibly fill that need without creating more work than I could handle.
And so, Jesse did all the basic design a few months ago and I've just been waiting for an opportunity to add all the content which has been swimming around in my head. Today it hit me that this time of early pregnancy would be my perfect chance. With laptop in tow, I embarked and was able to get most of the final touches done this afternoon so I can begin adding content.
It's nothing brilliant, but I'm hoping it can be a great encouragement to many of you always looking for ideas and encouragement in the area of stretching your budget.
And so, I present to you... SimplyCentsible.com
(The domain isn't all transferred over yet; it's still hosted on this site for now.)
It's pretty sparse right now, but I have thousands more pages planned to add. I'm hoping all my time on the couch these next few weeks will provide more opportunities for me to expand it greatly. :) And don't you think my hubby did a pretty good job for his first shot at web design?
I would love to have your help. Have you written an article or blog post on frugality that you'd be willing to submit for possible publication? Email it to me along with your bio. Maybe a previous Frugal Friday tip you've written would work as well? I'm interested in anything from a short tip or a three-page article - send it my way! Know of a great website or book which I should link to or recommend? Tell me about that, too. I want to make this an ever-expanding resource for women and young women who are seeking to be wise stewards of the resources God has given them. Any ideas? Send them my way!

Hello Crystal,
I have started a community on livejournal called Frugal Friday. I love how you hosted FF on your blog and I was really inspired by all the great tips. With the encouragment of friends I started this community, I thought it would be great idea to have something like this on lj. The link is http://community.livejournal.com/frugalfriday/
But I realized that I should have asked you first if this was ok. After all, you started this on your blog. Please let me know if using the name is alright if you or if you would rather me not do this. I will still be linking a post from this community to your blog each Friday. I have also given you credit for the name/idea in the userinfo area of the community.
Thank you

Jaclynn - Thanks for letting me know and that is totally okay! I hope it's successful for you! :)
Looks like the new site will be great! I'm looking forward to future articles
Thank you. Btw, I think your new website is an awesome idea. I am checking it out right now!
Blessings!
The website looks great! I look forward to getting lots of great tips from it. I've recently found a good website for frugal grocery shoppping. www.hillbillyhousewife.com It has saved us tons of money!
Congrats Crystal on the new sie and I hope it's a great success!
Wow...a new website!!! Cool!
Posted on turkey leftovers, natural crochet/knitting needles being frugal with hand health, and discounted handwork supplies!
GO! Jesse; great job on being a newbie webmaster!
So does this mean you won't be doing the Frugal Fridays round ups anymore?
