Mmmmmm! Vomit, my favorite!

I have been cleaning, boiling and scrubbing since Connor and I have been upchucking a bit lately.  I hate buying new sponges because it seems that, while the sponges I have been using are totally funk-T-fied, I can get more use out of them.  I have done this trick before many times but was unsure of how effective it really is...until I found this!  Much better, thanks!

My list cut short...

Here is a very short list of a few of the instant win games I like and hope to win...eventually.
Bed, Bath & Beyond
BoxTops for Education
Parenting.com
PlayDoh
Women's Health Magazine

I have a list of about 18 I do everyday.  Some are a tad more complicated than others but these 5 I look forward to more than others simply because they are easy to do and the rewards are something I can use or give Connor or Viv.

My two seconds of fame & fortune!

My favorite new website!

So!  For about 2 months now I have been playing daily online instant win games (sweeps) offered by well known brands websites for example: Officedepot.com, worldmarket.com, etc.  So after a few weeks of playing every-single-day (!) I finally won a few things.  My most exciting win was Office Depots Go Back Smarter Instant Win game.  $100 gift card!!!  It helped us sooo much as far as school supplies go and with the purchase of the brand spankin' new edition of Microsoft's Home and Student (I LOVE Onenote!)  Other wins have been things like at whymilk.com I won a free memory band and notebook.  I am not quite sure what a memory band is but we'll see!  Also, I won a few boxtops for Connor's school. 

Back to the giftcard.  I got so excited that I had to thank the founder of one of my favorite websites for cool freebies, contests, giveaway's, coupons, etc...freebies4mom.com.  She published my email and you can read it here. 

Because I have been playing for a while and am reaping a few benefits I figure it won't hurt to play a little longer.  It doesn't cost me a thing and only 15 to 20 minutes of my time everyday.  I'll post my current list as soon as I have time.  But for now, I need to get ready for IRISH FEST!

Busy, Busy WEEKEND!

IRISH FEST,

A T-Bones game tomorrow evening,
Two birthday parties,
*AND* Mass, of course!

And then lets not forget that Ryan has this next whole week off which includes MY BIRTHDAY!!

Grrr....

Ryan, my dear husband.

My husband reminded me that its "advice" not "advise."  Thanks Ryan.

We'll give this a whirl.

So, I find that I am constantly finding new cool websites, products, idea's, events and I constantly share them on Facebook.  I think that since I started this damn blog God knows how long ago, I should actually use it.  So from now on I am going to try and post my new findings on here.  Sure, I will share my most favorite links on FB if I think its just tooooo awesome not to share immediately. 

Let me get started....I really do enjoy good money advise from almost anywhere.  I know that sometimes there can be pretty bad financial advise but if I have a good feeling, I'll post it.  For instance, I just found this one about 15 minutes ago.  I really love Women's Health Magazine so you may find a few links of theirs on here.  Anyways, here is that new link: Six ways to make some extra cash.

And before I forget, I LOVE this video of the female who witnessed a robbery at a local convenience store.

And, I have to add that since I had a WONDERFUL experience today at Euston's Hardware at 75th and Wyandotte I should provide their website.

Well, this should do it for now.  Of course, I'll probably add more quite soon.  Thanks!
