Ebates

Have you ever heard about Ebates? That site is great for online shopping! So far I have saved $529.35! The best way to describe it is a "portal". You go through that site, and you earn a percentage back on each purchase. For example right now they are offering 2% cash back on your purchase at office Depot and 6% at Lands End. I have received as much as 15% cash back, so the amounts vary. They send out the checks every 3 months.

Ebates is very easy to use. You just go to Ebates, then find the store you were going to shop at anyway. It is clearly marked what your % back would be. Click that site and shop as usual.

They have coupons on their site that you can use also. But if you don't find one there, search "company name, discount codes". I do most of my shopping online now because I save so much money!

Ebates is having a promotion now where you get $5 back for signing up and make one purchase. Free Money! Please, click here to sign up and enjoy the savings.

isABelt Giveaway

I was happy because I got to try an isABelt. It is truly a unique product. It is virtually invisible and fully adjustable to keep your outfit looking fantastic by keeping your pants in place. The isABelt is a 1/2 inch wide, strong, and flexible belt that virtually disappears when worn. No more back-gap or unwanted peep shows!

It is great for those of us trying to lose weight. As the weight comes off and your pants start getting loose, you can use the isABelt to extend the time you wear your pants as you are working to achieve your goal weight.

It is also great for travel because since it is not metal, you wont have to remove it before going through the scanner.

You can check it out here:


I am giving an isABelt to one lucky reader. To enter please go to isABelt and tell me the closest place you can purchase one and what size you need. If there is no place close, tell me where you can get it online.

Lets Get Ready Books Giveaway

Do you have a preschool child or one that will be starting first grade? I wanted to tell you about a great resource from Cedar Valley Publishing. I had the opportunity to review 2 books that I can certainly recommend.

Let's Get Ready for Kindergarten
Early childhood skills to practice such as taking turns and dressing.
Alphabet
Saying the letters
Colors
Shapes
Numbers
Body parts
Counting
And many more.

Let's Get Ready For First Grade
List of pre-first grade skills
Vowels
Consonants
Early adding and Subtracting
Skip counting
Measuring
Money
Internal Organs
And many more.

The books feature heavy duty laminated pages so you can use dry erase markers with them, and you don't have to worry about it ruining the pages. They appear very durable, so they could be used for multiple children.

Cedar Valley Publishing have very generously donated both the Let's Get Ready For Kindergarten and the Let's Get Ready For First Grade books to one of my lucky readers!

To enter go to Cedar Valley Publishing and tell me one of the awards they won and who you would give the books to.

Remember to Laugh and Have Fun

All of us are busy with children, work, housework, and other commitments. I freqently forget to "stop and smell the roses" and enjoy life. Our lives are to be enjoyed and not just endured. If you are like me, we need to laugh more.
Lots To Learn, makers of the award-winning series of educational DVDs, has developed a fun and simple contest for those of us who blog. All I have to do to enter is to tell a joke, so here goes....

Knock-knock
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad you came-a-knockin'?

Thanks to twitter moms for reminding me to laugh more.
