   Today's winners were both within today's theme: budgeting for families.
   They're really lovely!
   
   • Staff Pick winner: JillKostow
   for Budget Lessons for Children -- Easy-to-Follow Child Budgets
   • Daily Drawing Winner: toknowinfo
   for Budgetivity: Save Money and Explaining Economics to Your Kids
   
   Now, I made a little mistake about the People's Choice voting this week and did not make the voting available until this morning (voting usually goes live Monday evenings), so we've extended the voting deadline to noon tomorrow. 
   
   What does that mean?  That you should VOTE NOW!!
