I’ve had a fabulous vacation and staycation with my family. I’ll be back tomorrow with more of the usual here at Simple Mom – tips, hacks, ideas, and encouragement for leading a simple life while managing your home. And very soon – get ready for another great giveaway!

All five guest posters enjoyed posting here, and I’m sure it’s in part because of Simple Mom’s great readers. Thanks again to Jason at Frugal Dad, Heidi at Mt. Hope Chronicles, Rachel at Small Notebook, Emily at Remodeling This Life, and Marie at Make and Takes.

Have I mentioned that I have the best readers in the blogosphere? It’s true. Thanks for being you.
