The winner of The Total Money Makeover is Karen at Simply A Musing Blog! Congrats, Karen. I hope it blesses your family and serves as an encouragement to you. (She, incidentally, also loves triple suicide chocolate cake.)

For the other 156 of you, I still highly encourage you to get it. It has been the best financial resource for our family. I’ve been writing a series called Personal Finance 101 based on Dave Ramsey and The Total Money Makeover, and it highlights all seven of his Baby Steps.

Just for fun, here are some of the more creative-sounding desserts mentioned throughout the contest:

• dies and went to heaven chocolate cake - Sue
• better than robert redford cake - Adria Sha
• snicker salad - Terra Heck (apples, Snickers, cream cheese, and cool whip? Who knew?)

To those of you hopping over from Bloggy Giveaways – welcome to Simple Mom!

For this season’s Bloggy Giveaways, I’m giving away ONE reader one of my favorite books, The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. Since this blog is about simplifying the job of home management, I can’t help but recommend Dave’s financial philosophy, plan, and products. He can’t get much simpler when it comes to personal finance! I highly encourage you to follow his ideas for your family’s financial game plan.

Hence – I’m giving away the book.
