As always, Frugal Family Finds likes to talk about things that are free. So let’s free associate some thoughts of Spring… like green, saving some green, Earth Day, flowers, mother’s day, mothers and daughters, mothers like shoes, ice cream, beach towels, spring cleaning, and spring purging the bachelor pad couch and leaky fridge you can’t stand to look at any more. Maybe I lost you a little along the way but you can find out what all these things have to do with spring in this week’s Frugal Family Finds- The “Hooray It’s Spring” Edition.
