Free Dental Care for children

Each year on the first Friday in February, thousands of the nation’s dentists and their dental team members provide free oral health care services to children from low-income families across the country. To find a program near you, click here for contact information in your area.

While the first Friday of February is the recommended event date, this may take place at another time in your area.  I called the Fresno Dental Association and they told me the event will actually take place here on 2/26/11. It will begin at Fresno City College. They are going to email me the details which I will post when I receive them.

 

Kindle

I got a new Kindle for christmas from my dear husband. A kindle is a computerized device you can download entire books onto that reads just like a book. One of the reasons I wanted it is that there are often free ebooks to download onto the kindle which will be a huge money saver. I read like crazy so this is like one of the best things that ever happened to me. I think once you make the investment on the kindle it will pay for itself in free downloads. You can get the classics for free and there are tons of christian books that are often released for free.

New spending plan for 2011

I started working on a new spending plan for 2011. Thanks to Dave Ramsey's class financial peace university I have some new ideas for the coming year. I helped a friend of mine do this for the first time. It took us hours to construct it but when we were done we figured out we could meet all her financial goals for the year in 7 months, pay off a third of her debts, and take a wonderful vacation. I felt so encouraged after helping my friend that it renewed my own excitement over building a new budget for myself. So if you haven't done one for yourself yet, what are you waiting for?
