For today’s Lovely Blog Award, I am veering away from farm things today to give bring you a blog that informs and inspires women. Money is on all our minds right now, and how to raise and train your dollars to be the best they can be is often daunting.

But this one works pretty well, even though I did not have a “crispy new one dollar bill” as was stipulated in some of the instructions on the internet. No, my dollar bills were crumpled up in dirty green wads in my jeans pocket and..well..needed to be laundered. So my finished product wouldn’t have passed muster at the money-shirt-folding competition (I’m sure there is one somewhere in the world). Here it is;
Ok, so are you ready to try?
