Work At Home Job Postings!!!

Today I would like to post some new work at home job listing that are legitimate. As we all know there are lots of scams out there, just waiting to suck in work at home moms. It is a breath of fresh air to know that a company is legitimate and that they are hiring work at home staff from all over the country! One of the great things about the first company we will talk about today is that they consider their work at home staff employees and offer them hourly wages! No sitting by the phone praying for talk time to get your check! I found the first listing today on The Rat Race Rebellion. If you have not subscribed to their newsletter, I highly recommend you do so. You get job listings days before they are put on the website.

Convergsys is hiring in the following states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

Here is the link to apply with Convergsys

For all those Moms who are looking for non phone work. Personal News Network is looking for authors for their site. They pay their authors a minimum of $100 a month plus sharing in ad revenues.

Happy Job Hunting!

Thumpin Thursdays Are For Freebies!


I found a really great place to enter some contests. The cool thing about Starpulse is that you do not have to enter your information every time you want to get in on a contest. They store your information and all you have to do is sign in and click enter to win! My fingers get really tired of putting my info in at least 20 times a day so this is a BIG plus for me!

They also send email updates each time a new contest is released so you do not miss out on any of the great opportunities they have to offer you! Good luck on entering there! They have some great giveaways going on right now!

Walmart is giving away free samples of Huggies Diapers. Get yours today!

Walmart is giving away free samples of Crest today too!

Here is a link to a free sample of the new Pledge Multi Wipes and Spray As a Bzzz agent I got these in the latest campaign to try out. I really like the way that the wipes clean. I used them on my laptop and my table I keep it on. They cleaned quickly and did not leave behind any streaks or dirty areas. The only issue I had with them was the smell. It smelled something like industrial cleaner and I was not impressed with it. It was not awful but I would not want to smell it for any length of time. Thank goodness the smell dissipated pretty quickly. So try these and let me know what you think!

Fabulous Friday Free For All!


TGIF! I am always so glad to see Friday come! The weekend is a reprieve from homework and sometimes from work for me! However being a writer, I can never tell when an assignment will come in so I have found it is really important to enjoy my free time when I find it. Even if it is 15-20 minutes during the day. Those are my "sanity" moments. If I did not have those times to just unwind for a few minutes and let my mind and body see a bit of peace and relaxation, I do not think I would be able to make it through the week. I can absolutely see how so many people are stressed in this life just because they do not allow or afford themselves the time to relax! No one is going to give this to us! We must be firm and take the time for ourselves.

OK, now that you have read my pearl of wisdom for the day on to the fun stuff. Finding new freebie sites is one of the fun things that I do just for me. It is sort of like Christmas in July when I am able to find new and exciting things in the mailbox every week or so!

Today, I found a new opinion panel for new products that is very similar to Bzzz Agent that I have discussed previously here in my blog. This one however, is for women only. It is called She Speaks I have just signed up for this one and am very excited about it. If it is anything like Bzzz Agent it is going to be a lot of fun working with them. The person who referred me to the site had already been invited to several campaigns so I feel it is a good site to try out! If you are not familiar with the process, they send you free products out and you try it. You then evaluate the product and tell others about it and report this back to the company. It s great way to get to try new things and get excellent freebies.

Now for my personal tips for the day. First I have found a second use for Debbie Myer Green Bags. They only advertise them for produce. I have found that you can use them for meats and cheeses as well. They work great for sliced cheeses and lunch meats. I have not had any problems with my cheese getting hard around the edges since placing the block in my green bags.

Second tip for the day is if you are tired of your Reynolds Wrap falling out of the box every time you try to get a sheet out, there are two little tabs on the end that you can depress which will hold the roll in the box. I was amazed that I had not found this years ago! It works great!

Third I have found 101 uses for wood clothes pins in my house. The most common use is for chip clips. My kids break all my chip clips and I hate for my chips to get stale. I tried the wood clothes pins and they work much better, are a lot sturdier, and do not break nearly as easily. They are much less expensive than the chip clips as well. I am getting some of those tiny square magnets to attach to them so I can put them on the refrigerator when not in use.

If you want to decorate them to make them cuter you can make little bugs or other creatures by using pipe cleaners and foam sheets. Allow your kids to help create them. It only takes a few minutes and you have custom chip clips with little expense or fuss!

Freebies of the Day!!!!


Hello!
Here is one of the freebies of the day!

Dove Hair Therapy
Choose from the Shine therapy or Enriched Therapy

I got this in my email today and this is a great one from Nestle. You can fill out a registration form and join the Very Best Baking Team.com You can get great recipes, sign up for sweepstakes, get coupons for excellent Nestles products and more. I love to bake in the fall and get ready for the holidays and what better way to do that than to check out the recipes for Nestles goodies? I sure cannot think of any! I love chocolate chips and can think of a million ways to use them. My whole family is a bunch of chocoholics. Sometimes I seriously try to think of desserts that do not contain chocolate for something different to serve!
So enjoy!
