I would like to point out a piece from the Miami Herald, written by fellow blogger Sharon Harvey Rosenberg, the wonderful writer behind the blog The Frugal Duchess. Her article entitled A System For Sorting was inspired by a post we published here called Organize Your Home With These Space Saving Ideas (written by Millie Kay Grand). We’re thrilled to have been mentioned in the Miami Herald in this capacity! 🙂
Thanks so much to Sharon from The Frugal Duchess for this great writeup, and to Millie Kay Grand for her contribution to our site.

Thanks for the mention!
Great article at the Herald. I especially like the first point.
Glad you liked my piece. Nice pointer to the gardening post, too. Never thought I’d read a blog about watching a garden go to seed on a financial site, but variety is the spice of life/investing/gardening. 🙂
Hi Monevator,
Yes I love gardens. Mine is one of my prized possessions. I worked hard to develop ours, which contains lots of flowers — I’d definitely describe it as an English garden. But sometimes I wonder if we should have switched to a California native garden, which would require much less water, is generally hardier and cheaper. Succulents would be nice too, but they’re expensive to purchase unless you get them as little clippings you plant and grow from scratch.
