Do you have a child in K-5th grade? If so they can get a free ice cream cone from Sonic. Oklahoma College Savings Plan is giving this coupon away. Enjoy!

Thanks to Consumer Queen for the info. 

Make some money

I found this really cool website. It's similar to a search engine like google. You get paid to go to the websites that you already go to! I have been using it for awhile now and I'm up to $4.06. The website is called BeRuby.  All you have to do is sign up, then go through the directory and add your favorite website to "My Favorites". Then every time you log in just click on "My Favorites" and all your links that you use are right there waiting for you to click on them and make some money. I have saved this website as my home page. So when I pull up the Internet on my computer it pops up. I log in and click on my links from there. It also pays you if you make a purchase through any of the websites that are linked to BeRuby. It does take awhile to build up money but if you use it every time you are on the Internet it will build up slowly. Enjoy!

Job

I had an interview yesterday. A mom is wanting me to watch her two kids starting next school year. I'm so excited! This new income will help us out a lot! She has two kids. One is in school all day.The other is in half day pre-k. I will have her from 8:30 a.m. until I drop her off at school at 12:30. Then I pick both of them up after school and keep them for an hour and a half. I have been out of it for so long I wasn't sure what to charge. I talked to several people and came up an amount. She told me it was a good price so I guess I did good. ha ha What would you charge? Just curious.

Here is a little something I made. One of my many crafty ideas to make a little extra money. There will be more to follow. I promise! If you like what you see and would like me to make you something just let me know. I'm selling this one for $30.

Being a stay at home mom

I really love being a stay at home mom! Taking my daughter to school and picking her up, is the best. I am having problems with some of the other things that go along with being a stay at home mom. I feel selfish to even write these two things down that bother me the most. Going out to eat and shopping. I know! I know! These are frivolous things to think about. It's just so hard to change a habit that you once had. When I would see something in an ad that was super cute and on sale, I would run to the store and get it. Now it seems I just dream of new clothes. I haven't been to the mall in over two weeks. It's actually funny when I write that down. If you know me at all you would be laughing! I used to be at the mall at least once a week. There is just something about that place that makes a girl happy! ha ha I go out to eat once a week if I'm lucky. I used to go out to eat lunch every chance I had, when I worked. I know it was just because I needed to get out of the building for awhile. Now I just need to get out of the house! You have to get pretty creative at making lunch for yourself every day at home. I'm not a cook, so for me it's really hard! I know that I need to change my train of though, to being happy I have food to eat and clothes to wear (even if they aren't new ones). I have been praying every day. I'm sure I will adjust to the change. It will just take time. Any advice would be appreciated.

New hobby


Since I'm a stay at home mom now. I have decided to make some crafts and try to sell them for extra income. This is my first try at it. I'm sure it will get better the more I do. Practice makes perfect!

I was on etsy one day. I saw this super cute dance bag. I thought to myself I can make that. So, I did!

I don't sew with a machine because I don't know how. This was all done by hand. I thinking of charging $25. What do you think? I would love feedback. If anyone is reading this that is. haha
