Girl Gone Frugal’s Name Will Be Changing
I love the name Girl Gone Frugal, but I’ve decided to change the name to match the branding with a big project that I will be working on and sharing for the next year.
The podcast content and format will basically be the same! Just a different name.
The new name!-The D.O.N.E. Society

I had a great time talking to him. Give the blog more time. I have two blogs (I know-shocking) the other one is about Colorado. It has taken me almost a year to really figure out the direction that I want to go with that site. A freaking year. Also, with this blog it took me forever to figure out where I was going with it. I’m in the groove now but each blog seems to have its own identity and it always seems to take time to uncover what that identity is.
