Welcome back to another Shout Out Saturday. As I wrote in yesterday’s post, they’re calling for a massive snow “event” to hit my hometown this weekend only to be followed up by another major storm early next week. We’ve received maybe 6-8 inches of snow this winter and now two major storms in a week (and at the end of February to boot)! It will be interesting to deal with. I have a fun weekend in store as my lovely wife is out of town for the weekend at a church retreat. I am glad she’s getting the time to have fun and spend some time with some good friends, but it also means that Daddy is running things at home in some definite zone coverage which should be interesting for all involved. Mrs. Frugal Rules runs a much tighter ship, and I am sure I’ll be wiped by this evening.
It was another great week for Frugal Rules in the blogosphere. I am thankful and humbled by all those who gave me a shout out, or included me in their blog Carnivals. If you have the time I encourage you to check out some of their blogs as I know you’ll find some very helpful information. Have a great rest of the weekend everyone.

Sounds like you’ve been a busy dad this weekend. We didn’t get much snow here at not enough for me to shovel although there is snow in the forecast. This snow luxury I thought I once missed living in the UK has slowly worn off. I’m already planning for a retirement villa somewhere hot! lol.. but snow is my home no complaints here… Have a good one mate.

Yes I have Mr. CBB! I can say one thing, and that’s that I am tired.
That retirement villa sounds nice. 
When I get teh house to myself when the wife is away it becomes “Surround Sound Time”! I drag out the best DVD’s and get in a small marathon session of earth quaking, hair raising surround sound movies! have fun!

That would’ve been nice, though I was foolish and did a bit of work last night. Now I am wishing I would’ve relaxed a bit more and enjoy a good movie like Braveheart or Tombstone.
I’m sure you’re tired of the snow, perhaps you could shift some of it down here our way. I’ve been trying to take my daughter sledding all winter! Thanks for the mention John, enjoy your weekend.

It’s crazy because we’ve barely gotten any snow all winter now we’re going to be getting three major storms in about ten days time. I’ll gladly send some your way.
Well, running the house is always a fun weekend. I am sure you will enjoy it. Keep up the awesome work John and have a good weekend.
Grayson @ Debt Roundup recently posted..Weekly Personal Finance Blog RoundUp – 2/23/2013
That it is, and a tiring one at that! Have a good weekend as well Grayson!
We’ve got that white stuff problem here this weekend as well. Good luck keeping the munchkins in line this weekend
Thanks so much for the inclusion.
Anne @ Unique Gifter recently posted..The Best Gifts I’ve Received – Jessica
Thanks Anne, I feel like I need two extra pairs of hands.
If you’re anything like my husband, I’m sure there could me lots more sweets and cartoons than usual. Have fun.
Kim@Eyesonthedollar recently posted..Things That Make Me Go Hmm
That’s pretty much been it Kim. Well, I also managed to clean the house, so that’s got to earn me a few points.
Hi John!
Thanks for the inclusion.
Not sure where you are, but sounds like we are both going to be the same storm.
On Tue we’re supposed to be hit with about 25+ cm. Happy shoveling/blowing!
Eddie recently posted..The Importance of Building a Solid Email Marketing List
Not a problem Eddie. I am in Omaha, and I am willing to bet it’s part of the same storm system as they said it was a really big one. We’re supposed to get hit big time again tomorrow night and then another one later in the week.
I hope that you find some time to relax this weekend. With the snow, kids and everything else sounds like you’re going to need a retreat weekend soon.

“sounds like you’re going to need a retreat weekend soon” No doubt Justin! It’s been a long, but fun weekend with the kiddos. I just may be taking a day off here in the next week or so.
I find the kids are fine when they know mum is out of the house, it’s when they know mums in the other room they play up! Hope you’re having a good weekend mate and thanks for the shout out.

I think they’re the same, either way it is. Our oldest tried to pull something on me last night, but I was able to catch her little trick.
Have a great weekend as well Adam!
I don’t know about you, but I am totally ready for some warmth and sun! Thanks for the mention, John!
Tony@WeOnlyDoThisOnce recently posted..3 Ways to Work Less and Get More Done
I love the cold, I just am not a fan of all sorts of snowstorms back to back. Though, I’ll gladly take it over summer.
Thanks for the mention! GL with running the house while your wife’s away. Don’t forget to tell us all about it.
John @ Fearless Men recently posted..Honor God, Honor Others and Honor Yourself
Thanks, she’s back…FINALLY.
Congrats on your success in the blogosphere! It’s always been a pleasure for me to read your blog. I know you’re super busy this weekend since Mrs. Frugal is away, but it’s all good. I’ve learned when those we love go away for 1 day to a week we have a greater appreciation for them when they return and we won’t take them for granted if we’re smart.
I read the appreciation you have for your wife and it’s very commendable.
Thanks Sonya! Your point is definitely true, even though she was only gone for 36 hours it does give me a MUCH greater appreciation for her and all that she does around the house. Not that I did not know that already, but knowing and doing are two different things.
Cheers for the Link Love – looking forward to tomorrow’s article. Hope you guys had a good weekend
Savvy Scot recently posted..Tactics for First-Time Buyers
Not a problem sir! It was too short, as usual, but still a good one. Hope you had nice one as well.
Have fun with the kids, and hopefully the ‘snow event’ won’t be so bad. If it is, drive carefully and don’t take any unnecessary chances!
Jordann @ My Alternate Life recently posted..Friday Link Love, Yoga & Gu
Thanks. We actually only ended up getting around 8 inches, which is much preferred to the 18.
I love how progressive you are. I am glad to hear you are giving your wife a chance to be away and that you are looking after things. That is awesome. I don’t know too many guys that would be ok with doing that.
Miss T @ Prairie Eco-Thrifter recently posted..Friday Links – Fridays Are Just Another Day
Thanks Miss T. Though, I am just loving my wife…to which I am very thankful for.
