Still Picking up the Pennies

The digital rewards site Swagbucks is offering big payouts during their "Swago: Spring Edition" promotion, which runs from now through Monday, March 12th at 9am PT! Swago is just like bingo, but in this case you're filling out squares as you earn points on their site for doing things you already do online. If you're thinking of trying Swagbucks, this is a great chance to learn all about how the site works and earn bonus points while doing it, meaning you can get more gift cards faster. Here are a few tips:  Each square on your Swago Board will contain an action item to complete. They can be anything from getting a search win, completing a survey, or just visiting one of our popular stores!   Once you complete the action item in a particular square the square will change color signifying the action item is complete.   You have until 12pm PT/3pm ET on Monday, March 12th to mark off as many squares as possible so use your time wisely.   Be mindful of the pat...

I have a few photos of the last week I'd like to share from the last week.  My hubby has been ice fishing and last week caught this Salmon. I love to eat fish and it was truly the best fish dinner I have ever eaten. Notice I said eaten, not fillet, cleaned or cooked!? I do not do any of that! I will fish and eat fish-love fish but not any of those things.  He is also out fishing today and had a visitor and send me this photo. Yes, that is a baby bobcat!! He came right out on the ice of Lake Superior to visit with my hubby. I would have been completely freaked out. But my hubby was thrilled with the little guy.  The photos of my week are not quite so wild, but I did have a great week. Monday I had LEGO club with the afterschool program. We read a book about a boat and then made boats, then set them out to sail the 'ocean'.  This is a photo of my boat and the captain. This is some of the boats that the youth built, they did a great job...
