~EASY MONEY~

If you are looking to make some extra money from the comfort of your home then you have come to the right place. How about answering some questions about a product or perhaps a movie you recently viewed and being compensated in cash and prizes? Over the past 8 months I have joined various online survey companies in order to do just that. I was quite shocked to discover that the supply of survey sites is seemingly endless. The Today Show recently featured a bit highlighting the best ways to make money from home. Taking online surveys made the list!!

Some sites are certainly better than others. One company that I really like is mysurvey.com. I have my sister-in-law to thank for recommending this one. I appreciate the fact that with this company, unlike many others, when you are given a survey to complete you are already qualified to participate. With many of the companies that I have tried you receive a survey invitation and answer a multitude of questions only to be told that you do not qualify. With any survey company when you sign up to join you complete a profile survey that helps to determine which surveys you would qualify for. I feel that mysurvey.com does an excellent job of utilizing that profile to send you surveys that you qualify for. With this company you earn points that can be redeemed for cash or various other rewards. Furthermore, for every survey you take and just for logging into the site each day you get entered into a $10,000 sweepstakes. Not bad, huh? You also have the option of donating your rewards to charity. The charities they work closely with include:

• American Heart Association
• Hispanic Scholarship Fund
• I Have a Dream Foundation
• Make-A-Wish Foundation ®
• National Emergency Response Team
• UNICEF Imagine...
• Save the Children

So, as you can see this is a great site to join. In our present economic situation it certainly helps to have some extra income. Be sure to go now and check it out. Pass It Along!!!

~SAVE & EARN WHILE YOU SHOP~

My new found interest in ebay has led me to another excellent site which enables me to save and make some extra money. The site is called BigCrumbs and I am most impressed by it's seemingly infinite money making and saving possibilities. You can save money when you shop online at over 250 retailers. Just a few include: Ebay, Old Navy, Gap, Toys R Us, Best Buy, Bass Pro Shop, Sears and much more. All you have to do is sign up for free and before you shop visit their site first. You can then sit back and collect commission on your purchases. That is great, however, I am most excited about the money making potential. No matter which account type you choose, Crumb Earner or Crumb Saver, you will make commission on anyone you personally refer. When they shop you make money! So, be sure you tell all of those shopaholic friends. However, if you choose to be a Crumb Earner you will also earn commission on those individuals your referrals refer (up to 5 generations). So, as you can see it literally PAYS to join. Make sure you pass this one along allot!!

~DISCOUNTS ON SHOPPING~

Once again I have my sister to thank for passing along what I feel is very valuable information. I am always looking for a good deal and new ways to save money. This is especially the case now as the economy declines and the prices on goods continue to rise. I have a great website to pass along called ebates. You join for free and every time you go through this site and shop you save money either in the form of cash back or money saving coupons. Among the sites included are Old Navy, Gap, Kohls, Walmart, Kmart, Dell, Circuit City, Target, Disney and many many more. I am actually shocked at how many stores and/or sites they have. I certainly have become a big fan of online shopping. Saving the gas money alone is reason enough to sit in your PJ's and shop online. This makes it even more exciting because now I can go to this site first and save more money while I shop. Oh and by the way, if you refer others they give you a $5 incentive and you only need to have $5.01 in your account (excluding referrals) in order for them to send you your cash back check. Not bad huh? So go check it out and be sure to sign up for FREE HERE. Pass It Along- and make more $$$!!

~SMELL THE FIRE~

When you venture to the store to purchase a scented plug-in, the only thing you are expecting is to add a fresh scent to your home and the last thing on your mind is FIRE. Well, I recently reviewed information that allegedly came from an insurance investigator who was perplexed as to what caused a house fire. You might have received this email as well. The information states that after determining the fire originated in the bathroom, the only thing that the homeowners could attest to having plugged in was a Glade Plug-In. According to the information, the investigator said he has seen many house fires that start in this fashion and he would never use any plug-in fragrance device. Upon researching this further, I found that this is not the necessarily the case. There have been several voluntary recalls made by the CPSC, and invoked by the manufacturer, involving Glade Plug-ins and many reports of fires that could be associated. However, these fires could also be attributed to faulty electrical wiring. There is no conclusive data that leads to a determination that scented plug-ins are any more hazardous than any other electrical device. You can check this out for yourself at snopes and the CPSC. I suppose this is yet another circumstance in which you must decide for yourself if this product makes you personally uncomfortable. Educating yourself is always the best bet. Pass It along!!

~GEARED UP TO PROTECT~

Are you a police officer, security professional, or military personnel looking for an easy and convenient way to purchase your gear? If so, I have found the site for you. LA Police Gear was started by LA police officers and has great options for everyone. In fact, contrary to the name, you do not have to be a police officer to shop on this site. LA Police Gear sells to the general public. I personally like the fact that you can purchase pepper spray, which I feel every woman should carry with her. Their prices are reasonable and you have many products and brands to choose from. Currently they are featuring a Blackhawk Holster which offers a discount of over $10. Customer incentives include free shipping and products (hats & travel mugs) upon reaching certain order requirements. I have the utmost respect for those who choose to dedicate their lives to protecting us. I applaud a site that is geared towards those heroes and provides them with the gear that is necessary to successfully perform their job. Be sure to check them out and pass it along! (Sponsored by LA Police Gear)

~CELL PHONE DANGER~

My sister recently sent me some shocking information that really opened my eyes to the possible danger of using a cell phone while it is plugged in (charging). There have allegedly been injuries and even deaths from electrical surges that can cause fires and electrocution. Along with this information was attached some disturbing pictures of a young mans hand and bed, where he was using his phone while plugged in, after he was electrocuted by a surge. Upon further investigation there is nothing conclusive as to whether this has/can actually occur. However, according to snopes there have been several incidences of injuries and fires due to faulty cell phone batteries. In most cases because the battery was not the correct one for the phone. This information certainly shocked me and I would have never thought this could possibly occur. Pass It Along!!

~POISON-PROOF YOUR HOME~

I recently received information from the state that gave directions on getting my sons birth certificate. Included in the envelope was some staggering statistics on poison hazards in the home. What I found most shocking is that everyday more than 500 calls are received by the Florida Poison Information Centers. Even more disturbing is the fact that 60% of the calls involve infants and toddlers. In this information was a list of common poison exposures including:

*Household cleaners
*Prescription medication
*Household & garden plants
*Pesticides & insecticides
*Gasoline & petroleum products
*Vitamins with Iron
*Pain killers
*Cosmetics
*Alcohol & products containing alcohol
*Snake, spider bites & insect stings
*Chemicals & chemical fumes
*Cough & cold medications

If anyone in your family is exposed to any of these hazards, call your Florida Poison Information Center at 1-800-222-1222. The advice will be given by an expert and kept confidential. You can also request a free emergency phone sticker and additional info. I called and left my information on their line so that I can get additional information which I will post here. Pass It Along!

~BEEF & BROCCOLI~

This meal is super quick and easy. Originally I used stew meat, but I found that steak-ums are much better and very tender. Use which ever you prefer.

1 small package steak-ums (cooked and cut into pieces)
1 head of broccoli chopped
1 sweet or yellow onion chunked
2-3 cloves garlic diced
1 package of beef flavored rice* (Rice-A-Roni)
fresh ground black pepper

~Start the rice according to the package directions and simmer for 10 mins (use a large pan because you will use only one pan for all of the ingredients). Add to the same saute pan the rest of the ingredients and cook until vegetables have reached desired tenderness -about 15 mins.
That is it folks! ENJOY.

*Tip* If you use beef broth rather than water in the rice you get a much better flavor.

~LADIES BEWARE~

I recently received an email from a friend that contained information that I thought all ladies need to know. The email came from a woman living in an area where there is a rapist/serial killer on the loose. When she decided to go to the police after a very peculiar encounter, they informed her that she may have been this killers next intended victim. She went into a gas station one evening and had $10 in cash on her. Luckily she knew exactly how much money she had and had spent. When she got into her car a very clean cut and well dressed man approached her and knocked on her window. Being cautious, she did not roll down the window. He preceded to say that she had dropped a $5 bill. When she said it was not hers he became very agitated and started to pound on her window. She sped off in a hurry and after much contemplation she contacted the authorities. The police felt as though this could have been the MO of the lunatic on the loose as there was no sign of forced entry into the other victims vehicles. Think about it, someone is being a "good Samaritan" and trying to give you your money back. I bet that most of us do not always know exactly how much cash we have on hand. I thought this was very important information and a reminder to be cautious always. Pass It Along!!

(Snopes reports that this is not true because in areas where serial killers were on the loose at the time this warning surfaced, it has not been determined that this method was used to capture victims. However, I feel that knowledge is your best defense. Always be aware of your surroundings.)

~GET PAID TO BLOG~

I am always looking for new profitable ways to make money while raising my children from home. Several months ago, while my husband and I were on a phone conference about Internet Marketing, we learned of a terrific way to get paid to blog. Initially it sounded to good to be true. However, this was a very reliable source so why not check it out. I am very happy to report that this is truly a great money making opportunity. It is called Pay Per Post and I am so excited to be a part of this community. With Pay Per Post you take opportunities from advertisers that interest you and you get paid to incorporate them into your blog. For all of you that already have a blog or have considered starting one I encourage you to check out this fantastic option. As a stay at home mommy I can enjoy the best of both worlds.

I feel as though I was lead in this direction and I now have another great option to help provide for my family. Pass It Along!!

~HAVE FUN WHILE YOU LEARN~

As a stay at home mom, who is in the process of establishing an educational foundation for my children, I am thrilled that we recently made the decision to purchase passes to Silver Springs. Silver Springs is a local nature theme park that has a tremendous amount to offer children and adults alike. Some of their attractions include: glass bottom boats, wildlife exhibits, botanical gardens, concerts and much more. We are lucky in the fact that this awesome park is in our back yard. I have to say that our first trip last week was wonderful. My three year old really enjoyed her day. She was a little confused as to what exactly a glass bottom boat is. When I tried to explain about this boat with a glass bottom she said, "you mean like my bottom?". She is so adorable. My husband and I are most excited about the educational value that this will bring to our family. In the first visit alone we saw alligators, fish, birds, giraffes, and black bears. They also had a featured exhibit with dinosaur fossils that was really fascinating. We plan on going back this week to check out more of the wildlife. There really is no better way to get some fresh air, exercise, and teach your children at the same time. Life is good!! By the way, the passes are extremely inexpensive and with your pass you also get a year admission the water park Wild Waters, and attendance to all of the featured concerts. Willie Nelson was recently a performer at the park. So, for those of you who happen to be local go check it out. Pass It Along!!!

~THE BEST CORN CHOWDER~

This corn chowder recipe is loved by all. It is quick and easy and you can alter it to suit your tastes.


7-8 slices cooked bacon

Add the corn and cook approximately 10 minutes. Add the whipping cream and crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

*I usually add other seasonings that I have on hand. Either fresh or dried oregano and parsley are good. This meal is so good and easy. A loaf of Italian bread makes a great companion for dipping. Enjoy!!

~DETER IDENTITY THEFT~

We recently received some information from the Federal Trade Commission regarding their campaign on avoiding identity theft. Identity theft is a widespread problem that affects approximately 10 million people each year. It can ruin your name and destroy your credit. The following tips are important in understanding how to safeguard your personal information.
1. Shred- all documents with personal and financial information.
2. Social Security Number- only give it out if absolutely necessary and do not carry it with you.
3. Internet Safety-Do not click on unsolicited email links. Always use firewalls, anti-virus, and anti-spyware to protect your computer. For more information on Internet identity protection go to OnGuardOnline.gov .
4. Passwords- that are related to personal information should not be used. Such as birth date, last four digits of your social security number, or mother's maiden name.
5. Personal Information- needs to be kept in a safe and secure place in your home.

Identity theft is certainly a major problem and the only way to protect yourself is through education. We will continue to add pertinent information on this topic as it arises. For additional information visit the Federal Trade Commission's site.

~JURY DUTY SCAM~

I received some alarming information regarding a jury duty scam that everyone should be aware of. This has been verified by the FBI.

You receive a call from someone claiming to be a jury coordinator.
When you say that you did not get a summons they ask for your
Social Security number and birthday.

They claim that this information is needed to cancel
your arrest warrant.
When you comply your
identity was just stolen!!

This is especially insidious because the scammer
is pretending to be with the court system.
The fraud has been reported in 11 states thus far.

The FBI and the Federal Court System have issued nationwide alerts.
Check it out for yourself at the FBI's site.
Pass It Along!!

~LEAD POISONING DANGERS~

According to the Coalition to End Childhood Lead Poisoning, lead poisoning is the number one environmental hazard that threatens children in the US. With all of the toy recalls due to lead paint, this is certainly a concern. The largest factor in lead poisoning is still home related. Working in Real Estate, I am certainly familiar with this issue. Anyone buying a home that was built prior to the year 1978 must sign a lead based paint addendum and decide if they wish to elect to have the home tested for lead based paint. This is due to the fact that prior to 1978 lead based paint was used in homes.

Lead poisoning is particularly dangerous to pregnant women and children under the age 6. It can cause irreversible damage to the brain and nervous system. The effects range from learning and behavioral problems to speech delay and hearing loss. So now that we are all sufficiently terrified here are steps we can take as parents and care givers.

*Have your children tested- The coalition recommends doing so each year in children 1-6.
*Cook with healthy foods- Foods high in iron, calcium, and vitamin C help reduce the effects from lead.
*Wash little hands often- Before eating and sleeping wash children's hands thoroughly.
*Wash toys often- especially those on the floor.
*Lead free housing- inquire as to when a house was built and have it inspected if built prior to 1978. Using a Realtor when you purchase a home can help with such matters.
*Remove any potential lead hazards from your home.
*Clean your home frequently- especially after any renovation work done on homes built prior to 1978.
*If your children are of the age to chew on toys (or everything for that matter) be extra cautious about their toys. Check the cpsc website (see the previous blog on protecting your children) to get information on toy recalls. According to the coalition if the toys were manufactured in India or China you may want to use caution.

Unfortunately this is the day in which we live and are raising our children. Hopefully this information can help. For more information you can goto leadsafe.org Pass It Along!!

~PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN~

I don't know about you, but I am appalled at the amount of children's toys and products that continue to be recalled. Last year alone 20 million toys were recalled. As a concerned parent I have enough to worry about without adding to it the thought, are my kids toys dangerous or potentially poisoning them. Lead based paint, strangulation hazards, magnets, and choking hazards are just a few items of recent concern. If you are anything like me you are sitting there wondering,what can I do? I have come across some information that I feel every parent needs to know regarding recalls and additional hazards.

Top 5 Hidden Home Hazards-
1. Magnets- they can fall out of toys and become a choking hazard and dangerous if swallowed. Action- Watch for these products and keep them away from children under the age 6.
2. Recalled products- there are several sites you can goto to view these recalled products. Recalls.org and CPSC.gov are two great options.
Action- subscribe to the CPSC's email alerts @ cpsc.gov. This is a great site and they will notify you via email regarding any recalls.
3. Furniture that can tip-over- TV's and ranges can tip over and onto your little one.
Action- install wall anchors for added protection.
4. Windows and coverings- cords can pose a strangulation hazard.
Action- safeguard your windows and if possible use cordless blinds.
5. Pools and spa drains- the suction can be so powerful it can entrap an adult or child.
Action- inspect drain covers and make sure they are in place.

Other things you can do:
*always return registration cards that accompany children's items
*read warnings and directions on all products
*carefully assemble all products and look for broken parts

The first thing that I did was immediately subscribe to the CPSC's e-mail alert @ cpsc.gov. Their site is great and I got allot of very useful information from them!! It puts my mind at ease knowing that I am doing everything possible to protect my children. Pass It Along!!

~MAKE SOME EXTRA MONEY~

Over the past year I have been exposed to the wonderful world of consignment and I have become quite a fan. There is a store in our city that is dedicated to children's consignment and they do a beautiful job. Now we all know how quickly our little ogres out grow things. Toys they loved yesterday are now an after thought and how about those growths spurts. My little girl decided to skip over size 3T entirely, which made my after Christmas returns much more interesting. If you can find the right consignment store this could be a revolving door of extra income. I have found, however, that the store is very important. An overcrowded store is a big negative. Shoppers need to be able to shop without having to plunge themselves into an abyss of onesies and PJ's. Obviously, the store and it's items must be clean. At Repeat Street, the store I love, they make sure that every item they take is like new and their store is impeccably clean. All of this makes for a desirable shopping experience and a win-win situation for all involved. As a consignor you are much more likely to make money off of the items you bring in if the store possesses these qualities. Typically the store will price items at half of the retail price. You then receive an agreed upon amount when the items sell (50% is common). As long as the store is neat, clean,and easy to navigate you will make money in the time frame alloted. Often times they will keep the items for up to 60-90 days and what doesn't sell you can either take back or they will donate them. In the past month I have made approximately $75-100 dollars in children's consigning alone and I feel good knowing that the remaining items are given to those in need. So, the next time you marvel at the fact that you just bought that outfit that no longer fits your angel, consider consigning. As a stay at home mom it never hurts to make some extra money. By the way, you can also get great deals on name brand items. Pass It Along!!!

~KEEP YOUR GERMS TO YOURSELF~

I recently read an article dispelling common myths regarding children and germs. Yes, I am germ-phobic and would prefer my children be exposed as little as possible. There were 3 things in this particular article I wanted to pass on. These are health shortcuts that you should not take with your children.
1. "Rinsing" pacifiers with your mouth- Yes I have seen this done on an occasion. I always felt it was quite nasty and apparently I was correct in thinking so. Not only could this transmit an illness, but it also is dangerous for little teeth. This is due to the fact that our adult mouths carry cavity causing bacteria that babies do not have.
2. Not washing little hands before meals- This is especially important because most children like to use their hands when they eat(I know my 3 year old does). In order to prevent infections this needs to be done for 20 seconds and with warm water and soap.
3. Neglecting proper food-prep safety- To avoid E.coli infections, meat needs to be well done for kinds under age eight. It is also important to always use a disinfectant to clean countertops (bleach).
*All of these tips came from physicians and are important to remember when raising our precious little ones. Pass it Along!!

~IDENTITY THEFT CONTINUED~

After spending hours trying to rectify her bout with theft, my sister was given very valuable information from our grandmother. She had kept this information for several years waiting for an occasion to use it. She gave my sister three phone numbers for the credit reporting agencies so she could report the theft (listed below). When she called Equifax she was surprised and delighted. The call was automated, easy, and offered the following free services.
**They would contact the other two agencies for her.
**If anyone attempts to pull/access her credit within 90 days she will be contacted.
**One free credit report.

Not only did this put her mind at ease, but also made her life much easier. I hope that these numbers will help someone in a similar unfortunate circumstance. Pass It Along!!!

Equifax- 800-525-6285*
Experian- 888-397-3742
Trans-Union- 800-680-7289
Social Security-800-269-0271

*The number referred to above.

~IDENTITY THEFT~

You wonder why Identity Theft is such a ramped problem these days. Take, for example, the situation that occurred with my sister just this afternoon. Her wallet was stolen yesterday and she had to use her husbands credit card when she ventured out to run an errand. (Now understand that she truly wanted the clerk to allow her to use his card without question). When she got to the counter he uttered those dreaded words, "May I see your card please." Well, that's it, surely she does not look like a Chad. However, without a second glance he gave the card back and completed the transaction. She was happy until the thought of the person who now has her card entered her mind. How incredibly easy would it be for them to march into any retail store and have a free for all on her tab. Fortunately, upon the cards theft she promptly called the bank to cancel it. I cannot say how many times something similar has happened to me. For example, I write "see ID" on my credit cards and rarely do I get asked for it. What amazes me in this circumstance is the fact that ,in an obviously robot like manner, the clerk asked for the card and yet must have not even cared to look at the name. I thought this was a great story to pass on. Be very careful and if you do loose your valued information be sure to act immediately. Pass It Along!!!

~GOLF "SWING" TIP~

This tip comes from my father-in-law who is an accomplished golfer and someone that also prides himself with handing those in his foursome a multiple stroke defeat!

So, you've sized up the shot, chose the right club, and set your aim only to take a swing and watch your ball soar out of sight. But instead of going straight it goes right. While there are plenty of reasons this could have happened one of the most common is grip pressure. On your next swing, grip your club a little tighter with your left hand so as not to let it twist out of line when it comes in contact with the ball which causes the wayward ball flight.

~CRIME PREVENTION~

We received another wonderful tip from my sister. We tested it and this works!!

The tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator: Put your keys beside your bed at night. If you hear something outside or someone is trying to break into your house you can sound the alarm on your key chain (panic button). The alarm should go off from anywhere in the house. Just try it as we did. The alarm went off from several rooms in our house including our bedroom. Typically the thief will not stick around once the alarm begins to sound and neighbors begin to peek out of their windows. This is a great tip that could potentially save a life. Pass It Along!!

~DON'T GET TAKEN~

We recently received an email which stated that car thieves had a new inventive way of stealing cars. They look into your windshield and get the VIN #. They then call the car dealer and state that they are the owner who lost their keys. They give the dealer the VIN # who in return gives them a key. The person who sent the email said they tried this and the dealer said they would indeed give them a new key. We always want to research information before we pass it along. Therefore, we called our local Ford dealer and gave them the VIN # of our car and requested a new key. They did say they could give us a key, but we had to provide proof of ownership! Whew!! If this concerns you, give your dealership a call and see what they say. Better safe than sorry. Pass it along!!

~5 FOODS KIDS SHOULD AVOID~

This information comes from the Million Dollar Body, an article on healthy living. This is intended for school aged children. We thought the alternatives were especially good. Pass It Along!!

1. Chicken nuggets- usually high in high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and hydrogenated oil.
alternative- Grilled chicken breast.
2. Sugary cereals.
alternative- look for cereals high in fiber and whole grains.
3. Lunch meat/hot dogs- full of potentially carcinogenic nitrates.
alternative- unprocessed meats like tuna, lean turkey breast, or chicken.
4. Juice or juice flavored drinks- does not have the fiber of fruit.
alternative- water. If you give juice do just a splash. Milk is also a healthy alternative.
5. French Fries/chips- High in fat and sodium.
alternative- scooped out baked potato with low fat chili.
