Building Villages started as a blog called The Year of Frugal Living (www.yearoffrugalliving.blogspot.com)- a one year debt payoff project. After 2 years, I moved over to a new blog (this one) to continue on my debt payoff project but be able to post other, non-financial related ideas. After a rocky start, I'm still posting, taking care of my family, and working towards being debt free!
