The Money Saving Mom's (audio) Budget --win a book and a $25 American Express Gift Card

Anyone who thinks homeschoolers lead quiet, uneventful lives has never homeschooled.  Homeschool families are among the busiest out there and it can be hard to keep up with all the stuff we do while keeping up with the things we need to do--like keeping our home organized and staying on a budget.

Crystal Paine, creator of the popular website moneysavingmom, knows what it's like.  As both a homeschool graduate and homeschooling mom who runs her own business, Crystal has experienced the busy homeschooling life.  Her blog is one of the top personal finance blogs on the web, averaging over four million pageviews per month.

Using principals that are similar in scope to Dave Ramsey's approach, Crystal shows how each one of us can learn to budget both in the area of finances and with our time.  While teaching us how to make every dollar count, she shows us how to live simply and encourages us to choose contentment.

So, what could be better for busy homeschool moms than reading this book?   The answer is listening to it on audiobook.

 Since homeschool moms are always on the go whether it be running around the house trying to keep up with household responsibilities, or running to and from co-op and other activities, the audiobook is an excellent addition to this wonderful book. It includes downloadable worksheets to help you put what you learn into practice.  You can purchase the audiobook (or any version of the book) here.

The coolest thing about this book is that Crystal is donating all of the proceeds to fund a Compassion International Child Survival Program site in the Dominican republic.  You can read about the details in her blog.

Now for the giveaway: There will be 2 winners for these items.  One person will receive a paper copy of The Money Saving Mom's Budget, and the other will win a $25 American Express Gift Card.  Enter today, then come back each day of the contest to snag more entries.
