Have You Checked Out Sponsored Tweets?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Sponsored Tweets. All opinions are 100% mine.

Recently IZEA just launched a new site called Sponsored Tweets.  About a week ago I decided to sign myself up and see what all the buzz was about. It looked like a fun thing to do while earning a little money. It was so easy to sign up and get started. It helped that I already had a Twitter account too. Once I was signed up I picked my price, added a category and them a few days later I was getting offers from advertisers. The best part about Sponsored Tweets is that you can either accept an offer or reject it. That way you can sensor what you are tweeting about. Once you accept an offer it will take about twenty four hours for Sponsored Tweets to credit you account. I'm really impressed with Sponsored tweets because you are in complete control of your account. You as the tweeter are able to review and approve each tweet. This is the the easiest money I have ever made. Each offer that I accepted had already been written and was ready to hit Twitter.   It just needed my approval.  Currently even famous celebrities are participating in this fun program. These celebrities include Kim Kardashian, Bob Vila, Sister Hazel and Leann Rimes. I'm going to definitely recommend to all my friends to sign up for sponsored tweets and join the fun.

Reconnecting With Old Friends

Do you ever think about that one lost love? Come on, lets be honest. I know some of you at least once in a while think about those old boyfriends. I know that I do. I have the same curiosities just like everyone else. For example, what do they look like today. What have they been up to in their life's. I can't help it, I'm naturally a very curious person. I came across this great site call MyLife that lets you search for those people that you've lost contact with over the years. Maybe for you it's a teacher that really touched your life or friend that you haven't seen in a while. What ever the case this site is a great place to start looking for those people. I've searched for a few people on Mylife and I'm amazed that I actually found a few of my friends that I lost touch with about fifteen years ago. It was great to see that they still live in the same area. I'd love to meet up with them some night for dinner and reconnect. I tried searching for one of my old flames, but had no luck locating him. If you're looking for that one lost love stop my Mylife and check it out. You maybe pleasantly surprised at what you find.

Things In My Life That I'm Thankful For

Isn't it amazing how fast the holiday's sneak up on us every year? For me, it doesn't seem that long ago that summer was here and we were enjoying warm summer days filled with the sweet smell of flowers. But the fact remains that Thanksgiving is only a little over two weeks away. Seems to me lately that all I hear coming out of peoples mouths is complaints. Yes, I know times are hard with everyone around the globe, but shouldn't we just stop and think about all the wonderful things we have to be thankful for in this life?  Lets all try and put a positive spin on our outlook on things.  Things could always be worse. Right? My philosophy is to try and wake up each morning and think of one thing that I'm thankful for. It works for me and I appreciate life so much more. In honor of the upcoming holiday we should all stop and give thanks for all that is good in our life's. Last year at this time I shared a few things that I'm thankful for on my other blog My Crazy Life With A Toddler. This year I'd like to share it on this blog with all of you. I want to send warm Thanksgiving wishes out to all of my blogging buddies this year. I hope each and everyone of you has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday spending time with family and friends.

In my eyes the Thanksgiving holiday is a time for everyone to reflect and give thanks for all the beautiful and wonderful things in their life's, no matter how small.


These are a few things in my life that I'm so grateful for.

My amazing, strong, brilliant, intelligent mother. Who has taught me how to find the strength within myself, when I thought there was no strength to be found. To see the beauty in others as well as the world. Thanks mom!

 I'm thankful to have been blessed with a wonderful sister. She has taught me the virtue of patience, love and the never ending bond that sisters hold close to their hearts. Thanks sis!

I'm thankful to have been born into such a loving family that has such never ending tight bonds.

I'm thankful for my husbands never ending strength, support and loyalty to me and my daughter.

I'm thankful that I have a roof over my head on the days when it rains and snows.

I'm thankful that my husband still has a job to pay the bills and put food on the table. Especially when so many others have so much less.

I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to a good education. It's given me the intelligence and experience to survive in this world.

I'm thankful to have had such wonderful grandparents, who always supported me in what ever I did in life. They have all passed on now and I miss them every day.

 I'm thankful for all my friends that I have today and for the ones that have moved on. They have taught me so much in this life.

As silly as it may sound, I'm thankful for my two year old vehicle. I hated the years of driving junkers and getting stranded every few miles.

I'm thankful for all the pets that have come and gone in my life. They have offered me their unconditional friendship and love. It has taught me the importance of love and patience.

 I'm thankful for my health. I truly believe if you don't have your health you've lost everything.

I'm thankful for all the experiences in my life, both good and bad. These experiences have molded me into the person I am today and I'm happy with that person.

Remember to give thanks for all the great things in your life. No matter how small.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Hugs,

Adding To Our Fleet

I just shared my amazing news on my other blog My Crazy Life With A Toddler and I wanted to share it with all my friends of Memories Of You.

It's been a long four years, but well worth the wait. Let me explain. Way back in 2006 we were in need of a new vehicle. The problem was that when we would turn in a vehicle it would always be the hubby's work trucks. So during the trade in process we could never get the amount we needed to pay off the entire loan, which left us with some serious negative equity. This negative equity would follow us form loan to loan. The hubby is in the construction field and he really puts his trucks through some serious beatings. Let me send out a huge waring for anyone who is stuck in this vicious cycle of debt. Don't do it. Try and get out of this terrible rut. We finally smarted up and decide the hubby would only be driving junkers to work. No new cars for him. This has been working out great for us.

Back in 2006 I decided it was time to put an end to this debt. We had to bite the bullet and suck it up. So we took on a gigantic truck payment of $502 per month for 4 years to pay this debt off and I'm proud to say we finally did it. Yippie!! Actually we paid it off three months early with the help of the Toyota dealership. The incentive was for us to buy/lease a new truck and they would pay the remaining lease payments off. I just want to jump for joy. I'm so happy. This was a huge victory for the hubby and I. Our huge lease payments have finally come to an end and it was time to turn the lease in. We've been looking around for a while for the best deals on new trucks and decided we were going to buy a Toyota Tundra. I just love it and it has so many more fun options to play with then our old truck. The best part is that it has the smoothest ride. I just wanted to share my happiness with everyone. Check out below my beautiful new shinny baby. Isn't she puuurrrty?
