It’s a Girl!

Great news! Little Miss PT was born late last week. Everyone is healthy and doing fine. Mrs. PT and I are relaxing and enjoying getting to know the newest member of our family.

A big thanks to everyone who’s chipped in with guest posts and contributed to the roundups on 529s and Life Insurance.

In the midst of this very exciting time for us a lot is going on with the blog and with my writing. Here’s a few of the recent happenings:

Next Week’s Schedule

Next week I have a few more guest posts scheduled. One from the Passive Dad on kids and frugality and another from 247QuoteUS.com about term life insurance. I’ll try and roll out a post of my own by Friday. Be on the lookout for a H&R Block TaxCut software giveaway as well as another book giveaway.

Book Giveaway Winner

Speaking of giveaways…The winner of The Finish Rich Dictionary is Cassidy. Congrats! I’ll send you your copy of the book via media mail very soon.

I’m a Quicken Online Blog Contributor

Tomorrow a guest post of mine will be shared over at the Quicken Online Blog [RSS]. I’ll be contributing there at least once a month from now on. I encourage you to swing by and check it out and try out the free Quicken Online software.

Find Out Where Your Money is Going

I participated in Mrs Micah’s Where’s My Money Going Month by contributing a guest post about two spreadsheets I’ve used in the past to help me with my finances. I encourage you to visit that post and to check out the rest of the series.

Carnivals

The following carnivals honored me with an inclusion last week: Festival of Frugality at Green Panda Treehouse; Carnival of Personal Finance at Free Money Finance.

The seminar is live and online March 10th at 7pm ET. Normal cost to attend this event is $20. Not bad. But I have a free event pass to giveaway.
