I love the adorably designed blog, Shake the Salt, which promises reviews, giveaways, freebies and tips for frugal moms—and it absolutely delivers! Here are some of things about this blog that I like:

My favorite part is a recurring post that the blogger just started called “A Moment For Me.” With each of these entries, which will be posted every Monday, she’ll remind us to take time out for ourselves (and read a book, take a bath and so on).

Her Frugal Deals roundups are always super helpful, too, when you’re on the hunt for coupons and discounts. (When are we not?!?)

She also has a great eye for random, neat things on the Web. This one links to an encouraging video about famous “failures.”

Who doesn’t love giveaways? This blogger hosts her own every now and then, like this one, which you can still enter!

And lastly, I like the book reviews. It’s always helpful to know what someone like you thinks about a certain book!
