New, fun website

I just stumbled upon the site http://www.myscratchoff.com and I must admit it is addictive! It's a site where you can play games, including instant win games...I'm all about winning free stuff...you should check it out!

So...here's something newI

I'm going to try to earn money by being paid to post on my blog...talk about having an incentive to write! Well, I've just registered with PayPerPost.com because I've heard they are one of the best, so I hope I'll start having an even better reason to update my blog regulary than just for my own pleasure, well I guess getting paid is slightly pleasurable as well.

I'm currently doing surveys for extra cash, which is fun, but I'm still trying to weed out the not so good survey sites. This is a long process, but I've started to learn some of these sites' monetary reward are So small it could almost be a miniature elephant! That is to say, as useless as a nickel sitting at the bottom of my car floorboard.

I love entering giveaways!

Nothing in life is free...wait! Whoever said that didn't know about the internet and all the endless posibilities for free samples, giveaways, ans sweepstakes!

I just entered a giveaway from a new favorite couponing site: coupongeek.net

God bless!

Vacationing = Teething!

Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principal one was that they escaped teething.  ~Mark Twain

 

 Tales from Teething Town (a.k.a Hot Springs, AR)

  

   We arrived on Sunday afternoon, June 27, and settled in for a relaxing vacation...but soon after arriving a very cranky and drooling Bethany opened her mouth to reveal the culprit of our previous nights' sleep deprivation, a tooth was poking through! Yes, my sweet girl is teething! And now, as of Friday, she has two bottom teeth all the way through and another on the bottom working its way up (And her two front teeth look like their not going to wait much longer as well!)

     I can't believe my baby is growing up! She's also being a risk taker and standing up for a few seconds without holding on to anything! And no, I didn't help her do this, she did it all on her own Ms. Independent self!

  The question of the day is, how long does teething take? These sleepless nights are getting to be a routine that I'm not enjoying all that much...But it's so much easier knowing there is a REASON why she's waking up in the night again (my girl is growing up too quickly!) Have any advice on how to stop this? A shrinking pill? Does Walgreens sell a bottle of Pishsolver (the potion that Alice drinks in Wonderland)? What about a brick? Though I've heard that doesn't work...oh well...guess I'll have to let her grow up!

The wonderful world of Couponing!

If you cannot make money from one dollar--if you do not coax one dollar to work hard for you, you won't know how to make money out of one thousand dollars. ~ E. S. Kinnear

So...I now think it's official...I'm addicted to couponing! I'm not sure how it all started, but I love it. There are so many awesome websites that I check out almost everyday that help me matchup coupons to sale items and that let me know what deals are going on each week!

There's an awesome giveaway going on at one such site, and I sure would love to win the coupon organizer binder!

Here's the link if you want to check it out:

Also, I'm hoping to start posting my shopping trips in an effort to keep track of how much I'm saving (and at times how much money I'm making by buying stuff)! My CVS and Target trip yesterday were awesome! More to come on that later...I know, I'm leaving you on the edge of keyboard!

God bless and happy couponing!

when did this happen?

“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.” - Audrey Hepburn

So...I woke up today and created a blog...I'm not sure how this happened. For so long I stood firm in my belief that I would never have a blog. "My life just isn't that interesting" I'd tell people. Nothings really changed on that front; I still don't think my life is all that interesting, but somehow here I am talking about my life. And you know what...I sort of like it...It's like a release. I hope this will be the start of a beautiful friendship...with my keyboard.

Well...thus my day continues...my child is calling (i.e. yelling loudly) from her room...I must go.
