It's Been Awhile

Can't believe that I haven't updated since May. Casey has been home and is now back to school for the summer term. Greg finished his school year and turned 16 on Friday. We are into the summer laid back feeling. Unfortunately, I still have to drag myself out of bed to work everyday - no summer relaxation for me. I am heading out to Ohio next week for a nice family visit.

Found a couple of money saving sites that I have been doing regularly and making some money. The first one is wellness360. I started doing this last weekend and already have $19 in my account. The premise is that it is a website where you can track your health. There is a place to keep a food journal, schedule exercise, and track your progress. There are also articles with information to read. Basically you earn points for doing these things on the website. These points translate into money. If interested go to the website and enroll. I get points for you signing up and so do you when you sign someone up. Click here for going to the signup page.

Another very successful site for me is MyPoints. I have already received many gift cards just for reading emails and doing short surveys. The best thing is that the points accumulate pretty quickly when reading the emails. There are also other ways to earn points - shopping through the site, using the MyPoints Visa, using the MyPoints search bar. You can just visit the site to sign up or leave a comment with your email address and I will send you an email invite. I have been doing this for about 8 months now and have earned the following $25 Staples gift card, $25 Target gift card, $5 Starbucks (2), $5 Regal Cinema (2), and $50 Staples gift card.

I have a bunch of other little sites that I sometimes frequent that are earning me money and will keep you posted as to the success of those.

Up next-more of my travel diary.
