Still Picking up the Pennies

Swagbucks is celebrating their birthday all day on February 27th, but they want to give YOU presents. You can play Swago (their version of bingo) all day long, filling out squares as you earn points on their site for doing things you already do online.  For each square you fill in, you get a spin on their big birthday prize wheel, where you can earn up to 2500 points with each spin! The best part is that the points you get can be used to get free gift cards to places like Amazon, or PayPal cash! Fill up your board and then submit your patterns to get even more spins and more chances to win big points! Click here to sign up and get started! If you sign up through my link and earn 300 SB before March 1st, you'll get a bonus 300 SB!

Yesterday was my youngest son's fourteenth birthday. My husband and I took him for a special birthday weekend. We went to Escanaba, Michigan to spend the night. We like to spend the night in a hotel room to take advantage of the pool. Noah and I both love to swim. But I must confess, we were both disappointed, the water was so cold, we were unable to enjoy it. The pool room was so crowded, just full of rude people, loud and splashing in the face. I do not like to be splashed in the face! On Sunday we went to Tundra Lodge in Green Bay, Wisconson. I must say we love the indoor water parks in the dead of winter. We love the lazy river, just leisurely floating downstream. The huge water slides are pretty impressive as well. We did decide, however, our little family has outgrown Tundra Lodge. Every time I saw Noah, he was sitting in a chair and looking bored. We took our birthday boy to Olive Garden for lunch, we ended up getting never ending Lasagna. He loved the food, which we knew

I love getting mail and I love getting a good deal. I also love sample sized products especially when it comes to new to me products.  Lately, I have not had a lot of time to hunt down free samples.  I was able to sign up for a Target Beauty Box last week and it arrived today. I am so excited to try everything it in.  It was not free, but I will use every single product in the box. Last month I started swimming on my lunch break at the local motel for exercise. I love to swim and then sit in the hot tub before I return to the office. I will stick the sample sized shampoo and conditioner and lotion in my bag. What have you received in the mail lately that you are excited about?

February is a month of love, and getting a $5 bonus from Swagbucks is their way of showing it! Swagbucks is a rewards site where you earn points (called SB) for things you're probably doing online already, like searching, watching videos, discovering deals, and taking surveys. Then you take those points and exchange them for gift cards to places like Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, Target, or PayPal cash.               When you sign up through me this month, you can earn a $5 bonus! Here's how:                      1. Sign up using this link                        2. Earn 300 SB total before 3/1/17. You'll get a $3 (300 SB) bonus for it!                      3. If you spend at least $25 through Swagbucks Shop* you'll get another $2 (200 SB) bonus on top of the cash back you'll get from shopping. If you have some shopping to do online, just go to Swagbucks first and visit the store through them. It doesn't cost you anything extra, but you'll get SB points f
