Welcome to another Frugal Friday edition here at Frugal Rules! Thankfully this week has been much better in terms of getting over that bug I had last week but, unfortunately, I managed to pass it on to my dear wife. I hate being sick, but I hate seeing Mrs. Frugal Rules getting sick even more. This is a big weekend for our family as we celebrate our youngest, JP, turning one year old. It is hard to believe as it just seems like yesterday that we brought him home and now he’s getting a mouth full of teeth and is very close to taking his first steps. Life just goes by way too fast it seems…the moral is, enjoy life! As I am writing this, on Tuesday evening, they’re calling for a pretty big snow storm in my neck of the woods along with some pretty strong winds. We’ll see if the weathermen are right and we actually get some snow. The last snow was not good for snowman making, and I know that our daughter is eagerly hoping that she can make a good one this time. On a completely unrelated note, make sure to come back next week as we’ll have several posts on getting the right Valentine’s Day gift for both the man and woman in your life, as well as several VERY nice giveaways!
It has been another great week in the blogosphere. There were a lot of great blog posts to read this week and was not at a loss to have some to select from. If you have some time this weekend, or don’t plan on watching The Super Bowl, then I encourage you to read some of these awesome blog posts.

What an adorably cute little one! Aren’t they such a blessing? We’ll be spending the weekend playing (Rick has his first weekend off in a month!) and then hunkering down with friends to watch the Big Game and have some frugally fantastic food. Enjoy your weekend, John!

Thanks Laurie, yes he is! Sounds like a fun time. We’re going to enjoy it a little more quietly this year and just stay home and make it fun with the kids.
Happy Birthday to JP! Hope you have a great weekend.

Thanks DC, you as well!
Thanks for mentioning our guest post for Mr.CBB John, I really appreciate it! I got a shock this morning when I saw the 1st of Feb on the calendar, can’t beleive how quick the days go. I’ll be drinking plenty of coffee on Sunday night to stay up for the Superbowl! My wife keeps telling me to record it but it’s not the same as watching it live, I’ve watched it live every year since I was about 14 and I don’t plan on changing now. Have a great weekend.
Money Bulldog recently posted..A Trip to London on a Budget
Not a problem Adam! I feel the same way, it was just Christmas yesterday. I agree that it’s not the same as watching it live, though we record it as well.
Have a great weekend!

Thanks Todd! Not a problem.
I hope your wife gets better! It’s never fun to be sick…
We plan on watching the Super Bowl with one of our friends (a couple). I don’t like watching it in big groups because you can never actually watch the game, so I’ve decided to avoid those this year and do something I’d prefer.
Jason @ WorkSaveLive recently posted..SmarterBucks – Helping You Pay Down Your Student Loans More Quickly
Thanks Jason, she’s finally starting to be on the mend. That’s always a fun way to watch the game. We’re just going to enjoy it ourselves and make it fun for the kids.
Congrats to JP’s first birthday!!! And in Super Bowl week! I’ll definitely be watching the game but will also have time to checkout some posts. Thanks for including us!
John @ Fearless Men recently posted..The Man’s Guide To Hosting A Winning Super Bowl Party
Thanks John! I know, it’s a pretty good weekend to have both.
You’re little man is adorable! I’m glad you’re on the mend, but sorry to hear your wife is now ill. It’s definitely no fun to have a sick household! Thanks for sharing my post – I really appreciate it!

Thanks Shannon, though I am not the most objective.
My wife seems to be getting better which is a good sign! Have a great weekend!
Happy Bday JP! Sounds like he is about to get his first sugar rush
Nothing much planed this weekend, but a chick was born today and it made my day! Another egg is about to crack… thanks for the mention!
Pauline recently posted..Friday recap, two wheels and a swim!
Yes he is! When we ordered his cake at the store last week they said since it was for his first birthday that they’re going to give us a smaller cake as well for free. I am sure that he’s going to enjoy that and make an absolute mess of himself & the dining room.
That’s exciting you’re seeing some chicks being born!
Passing a cold to your significant other really stinks. I know when my gf gets sick, I break out the Purell and Lysol! I avoided her sickness the last time, but I know I am due haha!! Thanks for the mention!
Jon @ MoneySmartGuides recently posted..The Round Table – February 1, 2013
It really does Jon. We do all we can to avoid it especially as this one was nasty to have. Thankfully she’s starting to feel more like herself.
Hope the Mrs. feels better and Happy One Year to JP! Baby Buck is a few months behind. Time sure flies. Thanks for including me!

Time really does fly when little ones enter the picture. Thankfully my wife is starting to feel better, so that’s good. Have a great weekend Buck!
Happy one year birthday to JP!
I got a good laugh out of the odd search terms and your responses this week. Thanks!
Alex recently posted..Life Lessons from Flo Rida
Thanks Alex! Those search terms can be funny at times. I always find it odd what brings someone over to a site.
What an adorable little man. Hope the Mrs feels better soon. I just got over the bug that was bothering me the past week. Many thanks for including my post, I appreciate. Happy Superbowl!
