This Sunday is Mothers Day, and I get to spend it with my mom for the first time in a long time. My parents are coming into town to visit us tomorrow! To celebrate, we’re cooking her lobster for dinner (as frugally as possible).

Because I’ll be spending some much needed quality time with my parents, it will probably be quiet here until at least Monday. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Tell your mom how much you love her, and if you are a mom, take it easy! Sunday is your day. :)

Here are some posts that caught my attention this week:

• Bargaineering offers 5 reasons to go paperless. It’s not just good for the planet, but also good for organization. Electronic files are easier to organize, and take up less space in your home!
• Free From Broke wants you to celebrate Mother’s Day frugally. You don’t have to spend a ton of money to show your mom what she means to you.
• The Beautiful Thrifty Life says cleaning your home is the easiest, least expensive way to give your space a lift.
• Mrs. Micah warns doing what you love won’t make you rich. I’d rather be happy than rich, though.
• Almost Frugal shares five life-changing benefits of frugal living. Frugality benefits so much more than your bottom line.

And from the Pecuniary Associates:

• Pecuniarities announced the launch of a new frugal cooking blog, Frugaltroph. The first recipe is homemade pasta. Yum!
• Counting My Pennies is checking out grocery delivery services. Delivery is pricey, but the website might help with menu planning!
• Financial Nut shares a breakdown of the self-employed pension IRA for small business owners who want to set up a retirement nest egg.
• Greener Pastures explains why alternative energy stocks are on the rise. It’s about time!

I’m off to finish preparing for my visitors this weekend. Hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing Mothers Day!
