Note from Barb

Well, the day has finally arrived- we will be moving into a new home this weekend- hurray! What that means though, is the blog may be a little sporatic over the next two weeks and we may miss a few days.

I'll be back to regular posting along with Maureen shortly, though. Thanks for your understanding in the interim!

Thought for Today ~ Frugal Scrapbook Ideas

Consumers spend billions of dollars on scrap-booking supplies each year. While the products seem to be more enticing than ever, the craft can certainly put a strain the best of budgets. Before you purchase your next expensive piece of paper, embellishments, or brads, consider these thrifty alternatives instead.

Thought for Today ~ Survey Companies that Pay

It's fun to have someone ask for your opinions, but it's even more exciting to be paid for it. There's a wealth of companies out there on the Internet willing to cough up cash for your input. (Refer to Chapter 6 in your copy of The Moms Guide to Earning and Saving Thousands on the Internet for the inside scoop!)

One company that ranks high on our particular favorites list is Survey Savvy They offer quality, quick surveys often with product trials included and reder payments very promptly (aprox. 1 week from request)

Thought of the Day ~ Saving

What are you saving for? A new home? A new car? A vacation for yourself or the family? No matter what it is, keep your dreams in your sites.

Buy yourself a cork bulletin board, and print pictures of whatever it is you are saving for. This will help you keep focused on your goal, and give you something to daydream about when you are not out spending money. ;)
