Your kids have been bugging you all month. “CAN WE GO TO THE CARNIVAL? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I WANT TO SEE THE BLOG POSTS! YOU PROMISED US WE’D SEE THE BLOG POSTS! DADDY SAID TO ASK YOU! NEW MOMMY LETS US SEE THE BLOG POSTS AND BUYS US ICE CREAM AND LETS US STAY UP LATE WHEN WE VISIT! NO WONDER HE LEFT YOU!”

So indulge the little freaks and take them to the carnival. Specifically, the Carnival of Personal Finance. The brainchild of Flexo at Consumerism Commentary, it’s a weekly gathering place for the finest personal finance bloggers and their favorite posts. And next Monday, it makes its Control Your Cash debut. Right here. At this very URL.

What’s that? You say you’re a personal finance blogger and want to submit something? That’ll really impress your family. Especially if we decide to run it (which we probably will.) But still, Flexo runs a tight ball and we don’t want to drop the ship. So submit your rant/diatribe/jeremiad here, read the fine print and give us something original and worthwhile. Not crappy. Please. We see plenty of crappy.

It goes live on the 31st. The deadline is 6 pm Eastern on January 30. Best of luck, and let’s meet back here in a few days.
