You may have noticed things don’t look the same since yesterday around here. I am working on making this site easier for you to use and navigate. That’s hard to do while still keeping the site operational. Please forgive if for a while some of the features that were previously available are not available or if links are not working. Once the whole process is completed I will share with you the changes and how they work for your benefit. My goal is to make this a better working site for you.









Hi! I am Mercedes and this is my blog Common Sense with Money! Helping other people live better, spend less, and save more is something I am very passionate about. I combine simple frugal living tips and smart shopping techniques to help moms across the U.S. become better home economists. Thank you for visiting my blog.

Looking good Mercedes!!!!
I like the new look so far!! Will take some getting used to but I like it!! Change is a good thing!!
What’s the deal with all the blogging sites changing their websites lately? It seems like all the the sites I regularly visit are reformatting and they all look the same! Not that they don’t look nice, but there is nothing unique about them except for the header or title or whatever you call it. Is there are reason everyone is adopting this “universal” format?
HI Shawn,
My layout is really the same, same logo, just different frame work. The only thing I am adding are features to make it easier for readers to find information.

I love the new framing part of it…looks really nice.
Looking good Mercedes…..I like the drop-down tabs at top….much easier to navigate.
Lookin’ good. I know how tricky it is to redesign & blog at the same time. Good luck!
