What a week! Between my birthday (thank you for all the birthday wishes!) and Halloween, this family has overdosed on sugary goodness. I have a major sweet teeth and am not ashamed to admit that I have probably eaten 5 times as much candy this week than the kids.

Here are some yummylicious links to some awesome content from my reader this week.

• Make Your Own Wrapping Paper - I love the huge rolls of Ikea paper and love this idea for the coming holiday season.

• Natural Cures You Can Find in Your Kitchen - great timing for this. The sickies made their way through our house this week. There was lots of lemon and honey consumed in addition to candy.

• How I’m Going to Outsmart Old Man Winter - it got cold enough this week in Florida (36 one morning!) for me to turn on the heat! Here are tips for those of you that get a lot colder than we do for a lot longer.

• Frugality Means Taking Care of You - If you don’t know it yet, the awesome voice of I’ve Paid For This Twice Already is a contributor at Frugal hacks. I loved this post by her over there this week.

• Applesauce Cookies: A Fall Favorite. Um…Yum.

• Teach Your Children The Four Pillars of Money Management. I especially like the part about teaching children to spend based on value, not just price. Check out all the excellent wisdom there.

A few random things I’d like to share. Check out my left sidebar to see that I have added a few buttons to other sites and ditched sitemeter because it was taking up space and I wasn’t really using it anyway.

It is now November so I’d like to share the top referrers to Remodeling This Life for the month of October.
