Today marks a special day for me – my first interview!

Your Money Relationship has a weekly segment called Saturday Sneak Peakwhere he interviews up and coming bloggers. This week, he’s chosen me! It’s quite an honor!

Make sure you check out his post to see me answer the following questions:

1. What inspired you to start a PF blog?
2. You have had some pretty rapid success getting your name out there over the past few months. How do you explain that?
3. Which article has been your favorite so far?
4. Do you think we’ll ever have too many PF blogs?

The Guest Post

I’m also really proud of a guest post I have up at Divorced Dad Frugal Dad. It’s about a topic that is very close to me: grilling!

In it, I share all my Top Tips for Backyard Barbecues.

• Choosing meat
• Freezing/thawing
• Preparing meat
• Preparing the grill
• Cooking

I take grilling very seriously (as does Divorced Dad Frugal Dad), so make sure you check it out. Now is perfect time to be outside cooking, and you just might learn a few things.

I hope you have a good rest of the weekend!

You’ll have to go to Scordo to read the full article, but here’s an outline of the tips. I hope you check it out!

The guest post can be viewed here. It’s an introspective look at the things I’ve learned about life from starting a blog. I knew I’d be writing about finance, but I didn’t realize how much I’d learn about personal development and achieving goals along the way.
