Cruel, cruel summer

Tips like these helped us pay off $127K in debt. You can read our story in Slaying the Debt Dragon: How One Family Conquered Their Money Monster and Found an Inspired Happily Ever After.

Greetings Money Saving Lords and Ladies.  I know, I know . . . long time no freebies.  We’ve been moving at the speed of light here in the Queendom.  From high flying adventures to riding my bike across the state (more on that later), add to that a month full of poison ivy in June and the shingles in July, 1 anniversary, 1 birthday, 2 daycamps, 1 camp that the King and I led, 1 camp that King and Eldest Princess attended, a couple of media appearance, and life coming at me at what felt like the speed of light.

So for the last 24 hours, I gave myself the chance to veg, chill out, and breathe.  Call it a Royal Mental Health Day.  I needed it.  And now I feel a bit better.  I can’t promise that it won’t happen again but I did want you to  know why I had disappeared.

I’ll try not to bombard you with posts over the next couple of days.  But there’s a lot of great free stuff out there and I have a responsibility to get it into your hands.  🙂  Hang tight, it’s going to be quite the ride!

Be a Money Saving Lord or Lady! Join us daily for savings, tips, and fun @ The Queen of Free.
